Baseball Morale
To Be Improved
By Reward Plan

WASHINGTON. Feb. 9.-Amer-
lean league club owners are en- route
for their homes today following
their colorless annual meeting yes
terday No trades were consum-
mated and no definite action was
taken regarding the perplexing draft
problem, although the magnates dis
cussed the draft situation at some
length.
II is understood that when the
magnates of the two major leagues
meet In joint session in Chicago late
this month, steps will be taken to
make the American association, In
ternational, Pacific Coast, Western
and Southern leagues abide by the
draft system. Twenty-one. minor
leagues are in favor of the draft and
have accepted 1t as 1t stands.
The plan adopted by the American

most for his club, both on and off
the playing field, with n prize or
emblem to cost not less than $1,000
and to give him a place in base ball s
hall of fame, is expected to increase
the morale of the clubs. The award
will be based on the point system

Baseball magnates have come TO
the conclusion that batting is be-

for the recent trading In which
various -clubowners have tried to
bolster their pitching stats. Bet
ter pitching and a less lively ball
will be relied upon to curb the ex-
cessive activities OF Babe Ruth
and other run artists.
There is growing notion in
baseball circles that something
must be done to bring baseball
back to where the team and not
some individual star, Is the at
traction. It's all right. from n
gate receipt anglo, to have a Babe
Ruth around the old ball park.
But suppose for some reason or
other Babe, doesn't perform? The
attraction is gone.
From magnate's viewpoint,
It's better to have a whole team
as a drawing card. Babe was all
right for "A season or two, or per-
