Let it become obstructive or de-
structive and the organization win
defeat it's own ends. The public
will waste little sympathy on pros
pective strikers, whose only injus-
tice is that not all of them are able
to squeeze $500 out of twenty
one-hour week.
One of the stated objects in the
unions charter is to prevent clouds
of suspicion against baseball, such
as have arisen in recent years,
from arising in the future" 1t
will do well to confine much of its
activity to this worthy cause if it
wishes to be accepted with greater
alacrity by the public.
As matters stand, baseball is
still under some suspicion, and
the fault lies with the player him
self. He is, ninety-nine times out
of one hundred, quite honest, but
he seems to be labOring under>the
delusiOn that If he voices his sus-
picjOns concerning fellOw-player
he will be deemed guilty of some
obscure form of dishOnOr. He
has an abiding fear Of being
known as q "squealer."

He Is Undesirable"

II IS the general impression
that Benton has told conflict
ing stories and that he has
proved so unreliable in his state
ments that a majority of club
owners in the National League do
not regard him as desirable
player.
Should Hermann resort to
court proceedings in behalf of
Benton, there probably would be
no evidence revealed damaging
enough to bar the pitcher. The
league, however, could fight any
such court procedure bv using
Herzog and backing up his con-
tention that Benton made certain
ugly charges that could not be
SubstantiaCed.

Each spring the fans are told Of
the addition of many youngsters.
These rockies go South, work out
for four or five weeks and then
strangely disappear. Here and
there few hang on, but where one
lasts out the full major league sea-
son, five or six others fall by the
wayside and go back to the bushes.
The going is rough in the big
leagues.
Because of the quick passing of
the rockies, the fans seldom note
the slower fading of the heroic
veterans. Here and there, like
Babe Adams, some one of them
quits in blaze of glory, but more
simply slide out of sight. They are
here today and gone tomorrow. In
their places are younger, fresher
lads.
One of these former heroes, Zeb
Milan, has passed from the ranks
of the Washington club. He goes
to Joe Cantillon's home for the
aged in Minneapolis, pushing
Sherry Magee out into the cold to
find a place for himself.

Kid Gleason, manager of the
White Sox, is today quoted in some
New York papers as laughing at
any trade taking Eddie Collins
away from the Chicago club, but
this is probably mere apple sauce.
Collins. while still a remarkable
ball player, is thirty-five years old.
There is no future for him as a
manager in Chicago, Kid Gleason
being a tough old bird who may
never never die.
On the other hand, Miller Hug
gins is suffering from poor health
and may not continue in baseball
much longer In that case Eddie
Collins will slip right into his shoes
as manager of the New York
Yankees. To have him ready for
the expecting passing of Higgins
is said to be the real reason for
the efforts being made to land
Collins from the White Sox.'
The Yankees are being thoroughly
reorganiZed Meusel kicked over the
traces frequently last season and
his work in the series against the
Giants was marked by dumb, spirit
less playing. New York fans have
sickened on him.
Aaron Ward got into trouble by
holding out last spring for $4,000.
He finally accepted $500 and
failed to earn it. He has been
marked for a trade ever since the
1922 season ended.

tenders for the 1923 pennant.

Plea for Restoration Of

BIZ Times Special

BIZ Times Special
CHICAGO, Feb. 20.-Discussion Of
the draft and adoption Of the playing
schedule for 1923 occupied the atten-
ton Of the American Association club
owners here today. A chart Of 1913
games was to be adopted, with the
opening games April IS or 19 and the
wind-up contests Oct. 7.
President Smith Of the Indianapolis
club and President Bresnahan of the
Toledo club argued before the meet
ing in favor of restoration of the
draft, but it was thought they would
be out-voted.
President Hickey opposes the draft
and he indicated he had not changed
his mind and that he felt sure the
majority of club owners were with
him on that point.
Owner Smith was the first A A.
magnate to break away from the non
draft adherents when he announced
in Indianapolis last week that he
would go before today's league meet
ing and suggest the association fall
in line with the wishes Of the two
major leagues.

Strength,

By NEA Serrice
CHICAGO, Feb. 2O.-When it comes
to miracle men in baseball, don't over
look Kid Gleason Of the Chicago
Americans.
The manager Of the White Sox at
the close Of the 1920 season was left
a remnant Of his once great team be-
cause Of the 1919 world series scandal.
No one will deny but that Chicago
made it interesting for any club it
played last season.
Gleason developed three great
young pitchers last year in Lever
ette. Robertson and Ted Blanken-
ship. Pitching is most essential.
Gleason is already enthusing over
his chances for the coming season.
He is well satisfied with his pitching
1t is in other departments that he
feels the club should be stronger.
The Sox manager is positive that in
Taylor, a recruit shortstop, he has q
fine understudy for Ernie Johnson,
and that in Woodwork he has GER
tain successor for Eddie Collins when
the veteran passes out.
Two new outfelders, Pennington
and Fish, will be hard to keep out of
the regular lineup. Gleason feels
that it will be a difficult matter to
keep Elsh from breaking into the
lineup right off the reel.
At third he will have the much
touted Willie Kamm.
All of which explains why Gleason
Is so enthusiastic over his teams
chances for 1923.
