TALKS ON DRAFT
Iandis Bcratcs Minor Leagues for stand in Mattcr-Says it Is Danger ous to Organized Baseball.

Dallas, Tex, March 27.--In discuss ing the draft situation here yesterday, and berating the minor leagues which refuse to return to the old system, Judge Landis for the first time ad- mittcd that the situation was a dangerous one for organized baseball from legal standpoint. This has been hinted al, but not until yeterday did the judge come out with that state mcnt.
 Aside from the fact that the ab- aence of the draft prevents many players from advancing, it endangers the legality of the business enterprise of baseball' said Landis.
 This statement is particularly inter- esting because Landis was the judge before whom the famous Federal suit was tried in Chicago. It will be recollected that he induced the con testants to settle their case out of court as the suit endangered the fabric of baseball.
 Organized baseball always has cited the draft as the main reason for the tr'Istlike construction of its business, from majors down to class D leagues. If the Baltimore Federal League ap- peal were to come up before the Su- preme Court in Washington while the five most important minor leagues re- fused to accept the draft the legal position of organized baseball would be decidely precarious And Judge Landis, judging from his statement yesterday, appreciates that

New York, March 27,-What is be- lieved to he the first baseball game radiophoncd this season was heard yesterday by members of tho First Battalion Naval Militia, N. r., on board the U. S. s. Illinois. North river and Ninety seventh street The game was played between the radio and marine divisions of the organiza- ton near Peekskill N, r., and ended in a 1 to 3 score in favor of the Ra- dios, after six innings.
 An argument over the umpire's de- cision ended the game. Each play was radiophoned by the wireless op- erator of Eagle boat No. 51, which took the players on the cruise to the ball grounds. Lieut.. Louis A. Per raud, former professional ball play CT, explained the Marines; Lieut.. A. Huntington was in command of the cruise.

DROP OUT OF SIGHT
Members Of White Sox Involved In 1919 Scandal Have All Passed Into Oblivion.

Chicago. March 27.-The approach of the baseball season emphasizes how completely the expelled members of the White Sox baseball team of 1919 have passed into oblivion. All of them but Buck Weaver have shaken the dust of Chicago from their boots. Weaver still fingers here, running a drug store and attempting to circu- late petition for reinstatement into baseball. Since his final turndown by Judge K. M. Landis the petition has lanquished. It had very few sigma lures.
 None of the others tried to break back into the game. Happy Felch (the nickname sounds rather ironical now) is reported to be in Milwaukee Eddie Cicotte is living with his fam fly very quietly in Detroit, where he first broke into baseball. Joe Jack son disappeared shortly after the courts found that there was no legal action possible against him. Jackson the shattered idol of the Chicago small boys, is somewhere in the south. Risberg, called "The Swede," is reported to be in California. No body in Chicago knows what has be- come of Chick Gandil and Lefty Will Hams.
 The mainstays of what might have been an even greater machine than the famous Athletics are scattered and forgotten. Only the memory of the shame that they brought to the game fingers behind them.

ton work with Roger Cont, the pro- fessonal champion of France. In the midst of it, however, his health failed and he was compelled to go to the Pacific coast to recuperate. He is said to have completely recovered and to have shown the same fine form in practice that enabled him to defeat Hoppe on two successive nights in the international tournament and win the worlds championship.
 A specially built table has been erected in Orchestra Hall. New ivory balls have been supplied and heating arrangements have been made so that the temperature will be excellent for the best of billiards at all times. Un- der these conditions the play should be of high order in spite of the fact that the diamond meda, emblematic of the worlds championship, purse of s1,0O0 and the net gate receipts are at stake It is to be eXepected that safety play will be a prominent factor throughout the match, but big runs and high averages are not to be eX- pected.

ROPER ENDORSES
 WRITER'S ATTITUDE:
Princeton Football Coach Backs
 Up Big Three Editorials

Princeton, N. J., March 27, - ln- | dorsement of the spirit Of editorial writers of the undergraduate daily newspapers Of Harvard Yale and Princeton In connection with their suggestions for revamping of the present college football program was contained in statement issued today by Bill Roper, Princeton's head coach. His statement follows:
 "l am heartily in accord with the spirit that has actuated the represen tatives of the Harvard Crimson, the Daily Princetonian and the Yale News in suggesting changes in the present football program.
 Should Train Early
 Their recommendation that there shall be no football practice before the formal opening of college in the autumn is theoretically sound but practically the reverse, because of weather conditions in the east the playing time of football Is confined to about two months. All other college sports have practically unlimited op- portunty for practice. The crews be- gin work before Christmas for races in the late spring. Baseball teams start prior to Washington's birthday for major games to be played in May and June. Even the so-called minor sports such as basketball hockey, wrestling; tennis and golf have more than sufficient opportunity for prac- tice.
 ITO expect a football team to be developed in six weeks without tre- mendous hazard to those playing is nothing short of an absurdity. No young man should be permitted to play such strenuous game without at least three weeks preliminary training and even this is much less than that given candidates for the crews and the baseball teams.
 "The Harvard, Princeton, Yale series is played under heavy pres sure. No boy should be put in such a test without adequate and sufficient preparation. If we could play foot ball until Christmas, I would be heartily in accord with the proposed program, but under any other condi- tions, it is out of the question.
 Opposes mter-Sectional Games
 nave never been III 1aNOr O1 ln- ter sectional games. They cause distraction and turmoil in the whole college vastly out of proportion to their importance. The more we con- fine all sorts of athletic competition to logical and natural rivalries elim- mating long, tiresome and unneces- sary trips the better it will be for everybody.
 The suggestion of joint commit tee on eligibility with all the cards on the table is an admirable one. would even go further in regard to athletes transferring from one college to another than the committee and pass a rule that no athlete transfer ring from another college would be eligible to participate on or represent, Yale or Princeton in any athletic competition.
 Coaches Don't Cheat
 .The danger of the coach on the bench is an academic theory advanc- ed principally by those who have lit- tie practical experience with the game I won't concede for a minute that football coaches believe in cheat ing, and as practical question there certainly should be some one near at hand to remove an injured man from the game.

 ID DEFEAT HOPPE
Worlds Greatest BilIiardiStS Meet
 in 18.2 Title Match

Chicago, H., March 27.-Jack night begin one of the greatest inter est-generating billiard matches that has been staged in a long stretch of the sporting calendar. Schaefer will defend his title of worlds prolession- al 1S.2 balliline champion, which he acquired by winning the international tournament in November, against Willie Hoppe, who held the crown for sixteen seasons and at one time was regarded as unbeatable. They will play through Wednesday in nightly blocks of 500 points for a total of 1,500. The match will be staged in Orchestra Hall, where seating ar engagements for more than 1,700 per sons have been made.
 Can Willie Come Back
 It is another chapter in that time worn question, 'can they come back 2" True it is that Willie has never been very far away. Since his defeat by Schaefer he has gone along playing his customary exhibition tour with all the eclat and the finesse that he ever showed. but the fact that he was de- throned after so long a reign neces- sarily places this match in the cate gory of attempts to come back.
 Because of the unparalled promi- hence that Hoppe had gained as a blakline billiardist his challenge match against Jake, son of the late wizard" who at one time held the title that now decorates the letter heads of his son, will be followed with the keenest of interest. It takes quite a healthy memory to recall another match in which there was greater or more widespread interest. Certain it is that it is not within the ken of the modern biliardist to recall such an event.
 Schaefer is Favoritc
 In Chicago Schaefer is reported to be the favorite. Latest advices indi- cate that whenever odds are offered they are very short. chiefly to 5. Yesterday it was reported that Schae- fer was a ' to favorite in local billiard circles. Dligent search how ever, failed definitely to establish that such odds had been offered, and for the most part, what little wagering there was was at even money. And there wasn't very much of it.
 New Workers recognize in Schaefer l player of great ability. They also consider Hoppe one of the greatest money players of all time. By money players is meant player who can play at his best when the mostis at stake. For this reason there has been no mad rush on the part of billiard enthusiasts to risk anything on the outcome of the coming match.

Alarmed About estate Rights"

"The federal government was
threatened 60 years ago; the states
are threatened today! and it may
seem strange to hear, on a platform
in the North, the advocacy OF states
rights"
Still stranger was it that Governor
Miller of New York, uttered these
words in an address delivered at the
dedication of monument to Civil
War heroes" He does not apprehend
that "our boys will ever again have
to take up arms to preserve the un-
ion-disunion, secession, that has been
settled forever-but there are at
tacks more insiduous, and because
thew are more insiduous, more dan
gerous. ;. 1t was inevitable that
with the great expansion of the coun-
try federal power would expand" and
ssattempts are now made to change
our government by indirection."
ga change of our government by in
direction exactly is what the South
ern states feared in 1S6O-6l, after
the election of Mr.. Lincoln-and that
is why they fought--in defense OF
state rights. The soundness of their
contention, as matter of constltu-
tional law, is, we believe, upheld now
by the preponderant opinion of jurists
and unbiased historians, though most
Southerners now living perhaps do
not regret that the constitution was
set aside, for the preservation of the
Union, by the preponderance Of bay
onets.
Would Governor Miller advise
fighting in the defense of state rights
if they could be saved in no other
way? Not without praising the reb-
els of the '6O's Cor their 'srebellion." I"
And 1--WE say it with sorrow) an
other war for state rights might not
be so popular in the South as it would
be in New York and Vermone.-The
