shots but couldn't put them through
the basket.
Smith made fourteen points on field
goals, Whitney made six, Irby and
Bass got four and Michel accounted
for two. all on field goals. Engle-
bert and Gish threw three field goals

Copyright, By The San Antonio Light.
New York, March 17.-To draft or
not to draft il still a serious ques-
ton in both big leagues. OF course,
it ID difficult to get managers to dis
fekss the draft which arises constantly
from the tomb that was thought would
prove As lasting as Tut-Ankh-Amen's,
Some managers, however, when par
ticulariy fretted by the spectre Of the
draft question, do let it be known
that the draft is worrying them.
Now, the monopoly of major league
. baseball is practically an admitted
fact, explained or condoned, or what
ever you please, on the plea that 1t
is necessary for discipline and that
there are not enough players to go
around. 1t is this latter reason that
is 80 frequently advanced by man.
ayers in arguing that there should
be a draft
They insist that the smaller clubs
should always be willing to give up to
the larger in order that the supply of
ball players may be increased and
also that the ball players may pro-
gress. The progression part appeals

self up from just ball player.
Says McGraw FavOrs 1t.
McGraw is know to favor the draft.
His stand is very likely sentimental
because when the Giants have needed
players MoSraw has been fortunate
enough to have owners who would
agree to permit him to stretch the
purse strings and get them.
Ty Cobb believes something must be
done to help the cause of the draft,
but Ty appears to believe that it is
for the good of the smaller leagues as
much as for the ball players. If there
is no draft he thinks the leagues like
those who play ball in the South and
which never make a dollar in a sea
son, will not be able to stand the pace
much longer.
He advances the theory that the big
clubs with money to spend care little
or nothing about the draft and will
60 out and pay what they wish for
any player who suits their fancy,
while in the smaller leagues where
they may not have the luck to de-
velop anything which is worth while,
no money will be spent because there
il nothing to buy. For that, reason
the smaller leagues-and there are
yx4ny of them in the South and Ty,
perhaps, is speaking for them-have
nothing to sell.
1t seems that the players who are
in the little towns and who are to
make their way into big league base
ball are not so anxious to leave fairly
good positions without the draft.

there was a draft which took in all
players. The players must show merit
to be acceptable TO draft as they must
show it to have some one come along
and fish them out of a minor league
with q cash offer of $4,000. 1t
seems as if all baseball had gone
wrong on that fact. Draft or no draft,
ball players have got to prove mat
they are worthy of moving up be-
fore they do move up.
Believes, With Reservations.
Miller higgins is believer in the
draft, but it seems as if he looks at
the matter from the standpoint of the
ball player who believes that the ma
jor leagues should have that spring
from which they can be fed ana also
from the standpoint that no minor
league can have a monopoly on Dali
PLAYERS services all of his life.
Some of the major league cubs
force the draft issue because they are
trying to beat down the prices asked
for players and there are some clubs
that are openly taking the stand that
their scouts shall pay particular at
tention this year to bushers when they
20 out for ball players, in order that
any really good material may come
first-hand to the major leagues. That
would cut off the source of supply
from the natural reservoir which feeds
the big minors.
1t could have been done before. The
majors might as well have recruited
from the bushes if they wished TO do
so. They didn't wish to do so, be-
cause they were anxious that the
minor league should develop the player

TESTS CAR REGISTER
l.. Lohrberg Has Invention That
Public Can't Beat.

A demonstration of an automatic
street car fare register, which is e1-
pected to eliminate most of the care
lessness on the part of the conductors
and passengers and at the same time
be great time saving means, was held
at the home of the inventor. J.. Lohr-
berg, 307 South Cherry street, last
week.
A vestibule OF street car was con-
Structed in the rear of Mr.. Lohrberg' s
home and Sc passengers were handled
as they are with the present system
of street cars. Passengers were asked
to crowd the conductor. try to slip by
without paying, present invalid trans
fers and in any way confuse him. Aft
err the sc mad passed through. the reg
lister showed. only 81 passengers. the
conductor had received IA invalid
transfers, he was short 50 cents ard
several passengers had gone in with
out paying.
Then Mr.. Lohrberg's invention was
installed on the car and in less than
two minutes the conductor was made
thoroughly familiar with the system.
The same passengers were passed
through the car with the result that
the register showed sc persons as hav-
ing passed through and only one in
valid transfer was received and only
one passenger did not pay. At the
same time. saving of two and one
half minutes was noted in the time it
took to handle the passengers through
Mr.. Lohrberg's invention.
Mr.. Lohrberg perfected this inven-
ton several years ago. However. with
the installation of the fare boxes. as
found on the present street cars. he
gave up the idea. thinking that this
form of receiving money was the most
practical.
However, complications have arisen
in the present system, according TO
Mr.. Lohrberg, and this demonstration
was held in order to prove that his
invention eliminates these complied
tions. saves time and is much easier
for the conductor to handle.

WAR GRAFT IN ITALY
Report Shows Government Lost Mil.

Rene. March fT.-How great were
the illegal gains Of the war profiteers
in Italy in the days Of the World
War appear from the publication of
the report OF parliamentary commit
tee Of investigation Of war contracts.
The second part of this report has
just been published.
1t would seem that at the time of
the war many manufacturers not only
commanded and received the highest
profits but were frequently paid for
goods that never were delivered and
in some cases were paid twice for the
same goods. 1t is alleged that they
received and retained capital loaned
by the state without fulfilling the
contracts for which the money was
specifically granted. According to the
committee the state still has coming
to it from various companies many
millions of lire.
One Of the worst offenders. il would
appear, was the Ansaldo company of
Genoa. the Chief owners of which are
the well known financiers. Pho and
Mario Perrone. who recently sent
emissaries TO Paris 70 stake out
GROUND favorable for a Franco-Italian
alliance. It is figured by the COM
mittee that the Ansaldo company still
owes the state S0,000,000 lire for
shipping charges.
Meanwhile several Of the war indus
tries. after careful picking by the
owners. have failed or passed into
other hands. 1t is doubtful il the
state will recover anything but the re-
port is interesting as showing how
at the time of the war virtually all
moral sense seems to have left large
number of government contractors.
