Big Leagues Would Be Pro-
hibited From Buying Players
From Class IA and Class A
Leagues-Prohibitive Prices
Blamed

New York, December 1s.-Appeal
to boycott class "A and class A
minor baseball leagues, insofar as
the purchase of their players wac
concerned, was made at the annua
national league meeting today by
Charles II. Bbbetts, owner of the
Brooklyn club Other league Off
cials were said TO have favored the
prices asked by the minors for star
performers. and suggested that the
matter be placed before the joint
major leagues meeting Thursday.
I'VE thought at first," said one
club owner. that we could fix a
limit drice to be paid by majors for
minor league players, but decided
that this would not help matters.
The only way to get around high
PRICES is to adopt Mr. Ebbetts sug-
gestion and refuse to buy players.
at any price, from leagues refusing
TO draft"
A "Stone Wall"
The suggestion of the Brooklyn
owner, if adopted by the majors,
would place a stone WALL about
the minor stars even higher than
that built by the dropping of the
draft, according to some of the in
ternational league owners who fin
ished up their annual meeting today.
They asserted that a boycott would
serve TO antagonize the minors and
cause a breaking up of the friendly
relations now existent. Commits
sioner Landis they said, would hard
~ stand for such condition.
in his report to the national
league President Heidler said he
believed the time had come when the
major leagues should consider
means of increasing the supply OF
skilled players and to give proper
training opportunities TO young
men desiring to enter the profess
sional game from the college field
or the sand lots, but who decline to
that their advancement to higher
classes and higher pay would be re
stricted.
The ruling permitting clubs to ar
range their own spring training
dates was retained.
\ discussion of all matters regard
ing the leagues relations with the
minors was postponed until tomor-
row. The 154 game schedule was
favored for 1922 The opening date
was suggested as April II subject 10
the approval OF the American league.
For consideration of the league
which will meet again tomorrow,
Mr.. Heldler made the following
suggestions:

CITY BASKETBALL
LEAGUE OPENS AT
THE "Y" TONIGHT
Three Fast Games Will Be
Served to Birmingham
Fans Tonight
BY HARwELL ALLEN

The lid will be blown off basket
ball in Birmingham tonight when
six fast City League teams formally
get under way at the Y. NJ. c. A..
There are seven teams in the league
this year, but the "Y" team drew a
bye for tonight. so Coach Abel's liz
tie boys will have to be good and
stay on the sidelines tonight.
However. the other six teams
should be able to furnish a grand
opening for the season. The game
Will be:
Birmingham- Southern reserves VS..
Sloss Sheffield.
Howard reserves versus North
Birmingham.
Woodlawn versus the Avondale
Mills.
All of the teams have been work
ing hard and are determined to go
strong in the opening, and the games
tonight should be almost as good
as mid season.
The first game. between the Pan
theirs and the Sloss team, should be
a good one, as it is bringing to-
gether two of the most promising
teams in the league, The Sloss boys
won the penant last year and are
coming back with the determine
ton of putting in strong bid for
it this year. On the other hand,
the Panthers should be m u n
stronger this year than they were
last year. There is no varsity team
at Birmingham Southern this sea-
son, and as only those who made
letters in the past are excluded from
the league, there will be a few men
of college calibre on the team that
represents the Partners tonight.
Howard To Play
Howard and North Birmingham
should also stage a lively fracas, as
the bulldogs are very anxious 10
make a good start, this being their
first year in the circuit. The North
Birminghamers did not get so high
up in the race last year. and they
are anxious to start for the TOT, this
season by giving Howard a good de-
feat as a starter, so it is a ten to
nothing bet that the game between
the bulldogs and the boys hailing
from the northern end of the city
will be as good as most any fan
would care to see.
The last game is between two new
Corners in the league, namely tn:
Woodlawn team and the Avondale
mills aggregation. BOth oil THESE
teams have ben working hard ana
are touted as strong combinations
that expect to lead the race this
year, so the scrap between them
ought to be a little more than
lively.
Before the games start. the "Y' is
planning big celebration and the
Avondale band will be on hand to
help do the celebrating. After the
band has played down in front Of
the building for a time, all of the
teams will form in a column and,
together with the band, will march
upstairs and will parade around the
gym a couple of times, after this is
over, the festivities for the evening
will start.
There will be an admission fee OF
10 cents charged for all games this
year, but all spectators will be pro-
vided with seats and it is thought
that they will get much more en-
joyment out of the games this year
than they have in the past, standing
on the crowded gym floor. The
games will start promptly ut $780,
