The failure Of the minors TO agree
on the draft rule is a direct blow to
the ambitions Of every bush league"
ball player.
The goal OF every ball player is
to make the grade to the big league.
II is the real incentive that spurs
him on. It causes him to put forth
his best efforts at all times.
The minor leagues have been the
stepping-stones to the majors for
years. The leagues OF different class
ihcation offered a gradual system Of
progression. The player was GER
tain TO ultimately get his chance in
the big show, IL he had the ability.
The f1lure OF the minors to agree
on the draft has closed the doors Of
the majors TO a great many players.
1t will mean that a lot OF players
worthy OF a trial in the majors will
be denied the opportunity. for a
time at least, IL not forever.
There is one class Of players,
however. who will profit immensely
by the failure OF the draft plan. as
advocated by Judge Lands. to meet
with approval ] have in mind the
college baseball player.
The major league clubs realize
they must develop more players
now that the minor league school
has In a me asurc been closed to
them. They must dig up players
with promise and spend several
years developing them.
The colleges offer a big field for
players Of ability and promise. OF
late years. big league teams always
have scouts at all college games OF
any importance. Connie Mack for
years has followed such a system.
More and more the other major
league leaders are placing their APP

Take the case OF Glen Kininger
OF Penn State. Kninger was the
sensation OF the football world last
season He is said to be a great
Sall player. Hugo Bezdik. former
manager OF the Pittsburgh Nation
ais. now director OF athletics at
Penn State. thinks Knlinger has a
great chance to make good in the
majors.
Killinger doesn't graduate from
Penn state until February, but
rumor has It that he has already
signed with the New York Ameri-
cans. He is to go south in the
spring with the Yankees.
Aldrich. OF Yale, who is a star in
fielder. graduates from that insti-
tuion in June A number of major
league clubs have made him fancy
offers. As yet Aldrich has not
signed with any team. He cant
quite make up his mind whether OF

OF the athletes, young as well as

Ordinarily a player is delighted to

Judging from the way the mag

In MEMORY OF LAWTON AUBREY
FENDLASON.

In loving memory of Lawton Au-
brey Fendlason, who died July 20,
1921:
One year has quickly came and gone
Since from us you did depart,
Yet, "Gone but not forgotten" dear,
Is the prayer of our broken hearts.
Death came to you in the bloom
of life,
While the rose was sweet, fair
and red,
But its growth was blighted, ah,
SO soon,
And the petals fell, withcred and
dead.
And our hearts are broken, Lawton,
And our tears fall thick and fast,
But the sunbeams tinge our sorrow
To know you are safe at last.
Yet, we cannot question the will
of God,
Since He is the Merciful One,
But with tear-stained eyes we humb-
ly bow,
And sadly say, "Thy will be done. :"
This life of ours will soon pass away,
AS the years, one by one, roll by;
Yet wen meet above in our Heaven
ly Home,
Never, never to say Goodbye"
A FRIEND. E
