MAJOR. LEAGUES
NEED DRAF I,
SAISL|EB
Baseball Writers Chieftain
Has Something to Say to
John HeydIer.
BY FREDERICK G. LIEB,
President Baseball Writers Association

NEW YORK, Nov 5.--In a re-
cent interview, John Heydler, presi-
dent of the National League, says
he is Indifferent to the return of
the draft to the higher minor
leagues and lukewarm to the draft
compromise suggested from the
Far West. Heydler believes the
major leagues no longer care wheth-
er the draft is restored or not. He
says the big leagues are ready and
able to develop their own stars from
raw material, and places consider
able stress on the fact that frankie
Frisch and Joe Dugan, two of the
big figures Of the recent world
series, jumped to fame from the
college diamond and needed no
minor league tuition.
Heydler's point may be well taken,
but it also is well to remember that
sue hother celebrities of the October
baseball classic as Babe Ruth. Wally
Schang, the two Meusels, Dave
Bancroft, Bob Shawkey and Sam
Jones served their apprenticeship in
class AA circuits.
The major leagues need the play.
ers developed in the big minor
leagues as much as they need the
skiEful athletes OF the college cam
pus. The free passage of players
between the majors and the Dig
minors should not be damned up
by controversies or displtes.
II the big minors are willing to
compromise their draft controvesy
with the majors, the big leagues
should examine what terms thew
have to offer. An equitable ad.
justment Of the dispute between the
majors and large minors will helm
baseball, and it also will help the
bali player.
There are players in the class AA
leagues who could beat out big
league regulars If they had the op.
portunity, and in recent years the
majors have sent fading veterans
to class A and class B leagues
when these men were capable az
earning class IA minor league
salaries.

Used Field Glasses
To Find Jess
Weakness

Jimmy DeForest is q very
intensive man, as his stories in
The Times, of which today's is
the thirteenth, prove. When he
does anything he never does it
by halves. Who but the clever
Trainer DeForest would think
of perching himself on hill a
half-mile away, and watching
the training antics Of an early
opponent through binoculars
DeForest did just that. He
could see from his distant point
of vantage that Jess was pre-
pairing himself to be rushed"
by Dempsey. What did De
Forest do? He went back to
Dempsey's camp and tutored the
approaching champion to first
give Jess the fight he wasn't
expecting, and then, when he
saw his opponent puzzled, rush
in and win. Read today's chap
ter to get all of the details of

AS I had told Dempsey 1 would
do, the instant we got into the
ring I busted over to Wizards
corner and leaned closely over
him, demanding last look at the
bandages. But I knew these were
all right and that Kearns had seen
to them. What I was after was a
| study OF Wizards heart, and I
was tickled when I saw 1t was beat
ing so hard it had the flesh on his
chest jumping.
So / went back to Dempsey's COR
ner and said:
He's ripe for it, Jack. Fool
him few times by making him

you've got him < tossing, go in with
what we've o. ,tcticed-the right
body, left cross, and right hook"
All set, Jim," said Jack with a
wink and a smile.
And it's history that our plan
went through.
By the end of the second round
! knew Dempsey would be the new
champion, and everybody else was
beginning to realize it, for Jacks
speed had Willard practically de-
| fenseless, and the force of the
/ punches Dempsey was putting over
had Wizards face cut to pieces
and his eyes all but completely
blinded.
In the fatal third. however,
there was one blow that Willard
landed which almost retrieved all
he had lost and held the cham
piOnship for him. It was a last
grasp punch, but it was q terrific
One-a right hand straight punch
that landed right near Jacks
solar pleXus and nearly crumpIed
him. II Willard could have fol-
lowed that up with hook to the
jaw he might have got Dempsey.
But when he landed Il he was
beaten and wild and did not have
the stuff left to follow 1t up.
Jack carried a sore spot from
that punch for ten days after
ward.
Did you see it?'' he asked me,
coming back to his corner.

Well. I felt it, grounted Demp-

answered. Nor did they, in SO far
