Handle Youngsters.

II vas announced last night by
pripcipal Robert A. Maurer that the
central High School basketball team
ras Been put in charge OF James Noi-
ugower. we'll known locally as
coach of the cage game. G \. Metzier'
who tp to date has been handling the

ffteeu other teams which have oeeh
formed from the large number OF
central BOYS. who have come out
for basketball
PRINCIPAL Maurer stated that Inc
trarsference f Coach MetZler to ms
new position was due TO the fact that
IL would not prove feasible to glv-
over the organizing and coaching OF
these fifteen teams to man Whos'
time did not belong entirely TO the
school. and that it would be lmpos-
Sible for one man to give the neces-
sary time TO these teams and at
the same time coach the first squad
for the interhiGh series.
The move is in accordance with the
policy of the school of giving as many
boys as possible the use of the
schools athletic facilities and the
benefit Of faculty direction. For this
participation the boys will be given
regular credit for physical training

NEW YORK. Dec. 5.-Johnny
Wilson. the middleweight cham
pion OF the world outside OF Cleve-
land and Harry Greb. of Pitts
hurgh. are to have a fifteen-round
engagement in Madison Square
Garden next month. Wilson. who
won the middleweight crown from
Mike O'Dowd two years ago. has
evidently decided to give any and
all contenders chance for the
title.
Wilson. in telephone communi-
cation with Tex Richard today. an
nounced his Willingness to battle
with the Pittsburgher and Richard
immediately wired Marty killela.
manager for the champion. killela
is now on his way to keep an APP
pointment with Richard here to-
morrow to arrange the details for
the match.
Not since his affair in Jersey
City last summer with Bryan
Downey has Wilson shown himself
to the fans in this section. The
Jersey folks decided that Wilson
wasn't doing his best ticks against
Downey and concluded when il was
all over that John wasn't entitled
to any compensation for his serv-
ices.
Wilson never did get paid. The
matter is still in allegiance.
Greb will have to come in at the
regulation championship limit OF
l5S pounds-making 1t a legitimate
title bout.

The suspension sentence follows
the violation of the rule by Ruth.
Meusel and Piercey, that no player
in a world series shall take part
in other games during the year in
which the pennant was won. The
rule was enacted in 1911 after
world series players were accused
of hippodrominE TO the detrime ut
of baseball. The Ruth All Stars
were warned that they would be
held in violation of the judges or

So the net result of the talented

that Ruth loses ss.362s6. five weeks

BY RAY HELGESEN.

Baseball men, big and little,
from coast to coast and from Can
ada TO the temporary residing place
OF Mr.. Obregon, are flooding Buff
falo. y. Y, today for the annual
meeting of the National Association
OF Professional Baseball Clubs
otherwise and more widely known
as the minor leagues.
Before this meeting is over It is
the general impression in baseball
circles that the national game Will
either be on a firmer foundation
than IT has been in years or else
viii be once again a house divided
within itself
the minors decision anent the
draft clause is expected to decide
whether the immediate future of
baseball Is to be dark and gloomy
or bright and cheerful.
majority of the minors, ac-
cording to early reports, are said
to be in favor of the draft. Then
again there are others, notably the
Pacinc Coast League. which have
taken firm stand against the
draft and are expected to make a
"uiSh h"ht on the question. The
Coast League. it is said, will go so
far as to withdraw from base
ball and 20 it alone in case the
rest of the minors decide to accept
the draft.
1t is reported that John Conway
Toole. president of the lnterna-
tional League. has already issued a
statement deciding his league will
vote and use its influence against
the draft.
The Washington herald., 1921-12-06
Fight on Draft Certain;
Acceptance is Probable
Judge Lands to Plead for Closer Cooperation
Between Little Leagues and Par
ent Organizations.

Conway's declaration. however
must not be taken too seriously, as
a recent canvass of the Interna-
tional League owners showed that
only ,one magnate in addition to
Jack Dunn. better known as the
villa OF baseball. is against the
draft. The rest OF the Int mag
mates are Disguised with the
leagues last two seasons and are
said to be in favor of the draft
believing that the only way in
which they can recoup their recent
financial losses.
Comdr. J. X. l.. Ross. wealthy
Canadian turfman. is said to be in
the market for an International
League franchise for Montreal.
Ross entrance into the league would
strengthen it considerably, as he
claims to be willing to expend
enough money to put a first class
club In the Canadian city next sea-
son and will guarantee in advance
all expenses Of the club.
Clark Grifflth is in Buffalo and
expects to garner the services OF a
couple of young pitchers before the
meeting is adjourned and the mag
mates. big and little. move on to
Gotham for the annual confab of
the minors. which begins there
the 18th.
Judge Lands will open the meet
ing this morning and will make
plea for closer cooperation be-
tween the big and little leagues.
Certainly baseball next season will
travel one OF the hardest roads OF
its history unless the majors and
the minors work in closer harmony.

a triple tie. Especially as none OF
