DRAFT PROBLEM
 TO BE TACKLED
 BY BIG M0GULS

New York, Dec. 1.-The draft question that has been agitating base ball circles ever since five of the largest minor leagues exercised the option given them under the 1921 major-minor agreement and refused to grant the seIective privilege either to the majors or to minors of other classification, may receive fresh at tention this week when major and minor league holds meetings in this city.
 The majors. supported in their views by Commissioner K. M. Lan- dis, desire to amend the present dratt statutes, as embodied in the 19Z1 agreement so that all minor leagues will be obligated by it's provisions and given no choice in the matter. - Un- successful Overtures were made a year ago by the advisory council ana since have been repeated in an effort to secure a new understanding with the five reca1citerent minors, who 1n- sist upon keeping in force the present law, which was made effective Tor seven years, or until 1928.
 As an alternative solution of the situation, a number of major league clubs are known to favor an en- larger player limit to afford a larger range of player selection. On the other hand several other minor leagues, now affected by the draft, are believed ready to join the other 'hOldOutS' and nulllty the SelecLlVe privilege as far as they are concerned. Exemption from the draft, by ''any league so desiring is specifically pro- vided under the terms agreed upon jointly by the majors and minors on January 12, 1921. At the same time a league exercising such exemption automatically forfeits any ys right to draft players from other circuits. The five leagues that have taken this course are the American Associa- tion, International League and Pacific Coast Lea gues, the only class ''AA' circuits in the country; the Western League, class ''A'' and the Three Eye League. class t.B''.
