MINORS CHEER
CLOSING DATE
TO PURCHASES
Little Follows win Be Handicapped,
However, by Lateness OF
Cutting Period.
BY JOHN B. FOSTER.

Copyright, 1872, by The Argus.)
New York, N. Y, Dec. 15.-Scores
Of minor league clubs swung their
bats and gave three reverbefating
cheers when the majors decided
that big league clubs might have
only until Jan Is to cut down play
ing forces, and that after that date
they might not add players from
one club to another without waiver,
OF course everybody knows that
the June Is limit was put in to
keep the greedy and rich New York
clubs from skimming all the play
er cream. Many of the minors as
well as their major league brethren
think that their troubles originated
with the determination of the two
New York clubs to gobble all the
championships.
Scarcely had the cheers died
away, however, and the minors
were just beginning to regain their
breath when they discovered that
the major league clubs are now in
a position to hold up $40 ball play
ers until June Is, whereas hereto
more they have had to clean up
their rosters by May Is after which
the minors had the benefit of play
ers not wanted by teams in the big
show.
Some minor league clubs never
really have gotten started until May
Is when they received players sLnt
to them from the majors under
optional agreement or in some other
way. In other years at least 24O
ball players had to be out in the
minors somewhere after May Is be-
cause the majors would lose their
right to play ball if they had not
cut their lists to 25 each by that
date.
Now 240 ball players can be re-
tanned for a month longer by the
majors in addition to the 400 with
which the 16 major league clubs
are expected to finish out the sea-
son. Any minor league club which
hopes to operate with major league
talent or some part of major league
talent will not get far if it is not
possible to receive players from
the majors before June Is.
There may be some major league
clubs which will not care to hold
40 players until June Is as they
are now allowed to do, but the bet
ter players are not likely to be re-
leased before June IS and precious
little good they will do the minor
league clubs then.
The majors are trying in every
way they can to fortify themselves
against the opposition of the min
ors to the draft law and they are
bears in the market for the sale OF
players. The prohigate expendi-
: lures of the richer clubs for ball
players are finally beginning to
show their effect upon baseball.
| Well, that $120,544 taken at the
well known called Off game of the
late world series has finally been
divided. AS baseball commissioners
Judge Lands will dispose OF $780,
277 for the relief Of disabled sol
diers at his discretion. The other
half is jointly held by the Yank and
Giant owners to distribute among

state Aggregation.

Augustana college basketball,
quintet will play its second gam.
Of the season tonight. The contest
will be played on the home aoor
with Lincoln college furnishing tho
opposition. The game will be the
first conference tilt of the season
for Swedberg's proteges.
Lincoln, heretofore a member NJ
the minor division in the l. l. A
c., promises to make a strong hia
for honors in the conference this
year. This was brought to lirst
in striking manner Tuesday nisht
when the small town representa-.
tives threw a scare into Cmch
Wann's Milllikin cage tossers. III =
Decatur team succeeded in down
ing Lincoln, but it was only after a
whirlwind squirt in the last period
that the game was tucked away.
Millikin, always a strong con.
tender for championship honors. is
again well fortified in the cage
sport. Sixteen points, the margin
by which the -staters defeated
Lincoln, is only fair one and
speaks we'll of the brand of basket
ball played by the smaller school,
Reports are to the effect that
three men who have played to-
gether for the past three seasons
constitute the nucleus of the Lin
coin team, and that the other two
regulars are of no mean calibre.
Under the coaching of Robb, for
merly of Rock Island, Lincoln has
developed one of the best basket
ball squads in the schools history,
and is planning on taking the
Augustana quintet into camp in
nights fracas.
+ Every member Of the Norsemen
squad is in the best of condition.
Long practices, including three
quarters of an hour scrimmage,
every afternoon have eradicated to
a great extent many of the faults
manifested in last Saturdays
mixup with Palmer's.
Especially has there been a de-
cided Improvement in the passing
of the Augustana team. In prac-
tice, both the first and second
teams have worked the ball down
the floor in pleasing manner
Swedberg has instructed his men
to use a short, snappy pass entirely
and this has been done with per-
fection during the last week.
Defensive play has also been
given its allotted time in the prac-
tices. The five-man style of play
will be used again this year.
Swedberg is still shifting his
lineup in order to ascertain the
logical men for the various posi-
tions. Andreen is the best bet at
center and Ogden Johnson seems
to be at his position at standing
guard. The other three positions,
especially that of running guard,
are not so easily determined. The
Augie mentor has shifted Conrey
from running guard to left for
ward, Biehl replacing Conrey, aud
First has been working the other
forward position. This combina-
ton has shown up well and is the
one which will probably start the
game. ......
Anderson. AronsOn. Heider, alM
Mahoney are continuing to show
real basketball ability and no
doubt will be given a chance.

was entitled to some of the lap

There was also some question as
to the authenticity of Murphy's rec

as 5,11.30.10, or 16 minutes better
than the record established by
Ralph De Palma in 1915. De
Palma's time then was 5.33.5551.
Murphy received remarkable CO.

drove the entire distance making
only three stops to change tires and
replenish his fuel tanks. On his
third stop gasoline was pumped into
the tanks and "a rear wheel was
