Declared To Be the Last
Concession to Induce
Minors to Accept Rule

CHICAGO. Jan. 7.-Maior league
baseball leaders, meeting here to-day
with Judge K. NJ. Lands, baseball
commissioner, decided to amend the
ma a.ior-nincr draft agreement so that
$500 instead of $4,000 will be the
price for drafting player from the
Glass AA leagues.
This agreement, according to Ban
Johnson, American League head, and
John Heydler, who represented the
National League, will be the last con-
, cession Of the majors to induce the
MINORS to accept the draft.
The major league chiefs consented
TO the increase in price only after an
81! day meeting, the most Of which was
taken up by John Conway Toole, presi-
dent of the international League, and
President Tom Hickey of the American
Association. in explaining why their
circuits have objected to the major
leagues selecting one player annually
from each club.
AT the suggestion of Judge Lands
the amendment 10 the draft is to be
so worded that either major league
can withdraw prior to January |, 1928
This was the only condition on which
President johnson and President Hcyd-
ler would agree to the change
Raise Seems Satisfactory
Both Hickey and Toole expressed
belief that the raise might satisfy
their respective club owners, but the
matter will have to be put before these
men and also before the major league
owners before it can be put into ef-
feet.
At recent meeting of the American
Association the draft question was
turned down, principally because one
of the owners thought $4,000 was not
enough for player. For this reason
it was predicted tonight that the
amendment will be satisfactory to the
associat. On. The international may be
willing to follow the lead of the Amer
lean Association, baseball observers
said, but little is known regarding the
attitude of the Pacific Coast League.
No statement was made at the close
Of to-day's conference regarding the
proposal recently submitted to Judge
Lands by Al Tearney, president of the
Western and Three-Eye leagues, the
only other circuits not within the scope
of the draft. Tearney presented pro
posals which, he said, would stop the
farming out'' of drafted players by
the majors.
Only Half Price Returned
Minor league leaders asserted that
the higher price would make the majors
less anxious to draft players indis-
criminately. In returning a drafted
man only half the draft price will be

A"a1 ldst nappy circumstance would
set record in baseball. No one city
exclusively has seen two worlds cham
pionshlp series. Indeed, aside from
New York, Chicago alone mas witnessed
such spectacle. Tho baseball world
had to wait span Of fifteen years
before the Windy City lost the dis
tinctlon of bong alone in such glory.
Brush Stadium is likely to go down
in history as the only baseball plant
that housed an entire worlds cham
pionship series. Should tho Giants
and Yankees meet again next fall in
this annual classic only part of the
games will be aged at the Polo
Grounds. Before then the new Yankee
park Will have been completed. Con-
SeQuently, the games would alternatc
from Yankee Field to Brush Stadium
or wee versa. as they alternated from
Chicago's North Side to Ch;caro,s
South Side back in 1906, when the
"hItless wonder" White Sox defeated
the supposedly invincblc Cubs four
out OF SIN games played.

PROTECTIVE TARIFF IDEA.
(Iiartford CouranO

Is it worth the while for American
factories to make clocks? That is a
question precipitated by present trade
conditions. If the argument, buy the
cheapest is to prevail, then there is no
sense in attempting to carry that in
dustry here.
The New Haven Times-Leader says:
1T is duh times at the New Haven
clock shop. The reason why may not
be generally known. but it is a very
simple reason which all who think can
understand.
German clocks are sold in this
country for less than the raw material
costs in this country
New Haven made clocks can not be
sold in competition with clocks made
in Germany for the reason that labor
costs are much lower in Germany
The protective tariff is the only aid
that can be offered those who are the
victims of cheap foreign labor
