trouble.
In the National League there is no
such demonstration of defiance. In
given up the fight before a game has
been played.
There is no instance prior to the
Ruth case in which a player has been
nunished to last into the beginning of
the next season. To prevent a ball
player from starting in champion
ship race until a certain time is
equivalent to putting handicap on
the race. The better the player, the
more severe the handicap.
Count Heavily On Changes.
The changes that have been made
in the two championship teams are
expected to make each u better ball

Giants in 1921 had an infield that

financially. II they guessed right,
they are in the position Of a holder
of a lot of very ordinary investments
which have jumped up forty points
in the market overnight
The Yankees were forced to make
q move to strengthen their pitchers
and possibly to change their infield
even before the Ruth decision was
announced, which hit the team four
or five times as hard as it hit Ruth.
In the interim between the close
! of one season and the start Of the

to get better players. The weak clubs
l'have done lot Of talking since 1881,
but so far not one OF them has

At the suggestion OF Judge Lands.
the amendment to the draft is to be
so worded that either major league
can withdraw prior TO January !,
1928. This was the only condition
in which President johnson and
President Heydler would agree to
the change. Both Hickey and TooIe
expressed a belief that the raise
might satisfy their respective club
owners, but the matter will have to
be put before these men and also be-
iore the major league owners before

AT recent meeting of the Ameri-

not enough for a player. For this

the amendment will be satisfactory
