New York, Oct. 24.-New attend
ance records for football are likely
to be set this season, if the early

tional thousands, indicated the tre-
mendous popularity tf the sport.

GERMANS STAND
AS BAND PLAYS
FRENCH ANTHEM

Zurich, Switzerland, Oct. "a
There was a tense moment during
the recent congress in this city of
the International Cycling Union
when German and Austrian delegates
met the French representatives-bu
it came out all right, for the Ger
mans arose and stood at attention
while a band played the "Marseil-
laise,' the national anthem, of France.
1t was the first cycling congress
since the war, and ENJOYS of all three
countries sat down around the same
table to dicuss the sport from an
international standpoint. 1t de-
volved upon Mr.. J. Breton, chief
delegate for France, to make the
closing address. 1t is the custom,
at these gatherings, for the band
to strike up the national anthem of
the speakers country as soon as he
concludes.

New Limit of
Draft Urged

Los Angeles, Oct. ga $lO,ooo
draft limit is proposed as COM
promise measure for consideration
pf the Pacific Coast Baseball League
annual meeting at Avalon, Catalina
Island, November Is. Captain Neal
wee president of the Louisville Base
ball Cub, prepared the plan which
Oscar Reichow, business manager OF
the Los Angeles baseball club, an
nounced he would submit to the
coast magnates.
The $4,000 limit is for class IA
clubs, embracing the coast league.
The majors would be asked to drop
to draft from class ''C' and I'D" cir
cults. The class 'AA' clubs would
be permitted to draft one player
from class "A", three from OBJ
and any number from &c" and "D".
The Neal plan, Reichow says, will
at least pave the way for discussion
of plan that may reopen draft
negotiations with the majors.

While Mr.. Breton was speaking
the predominant thought was, what
will the Germans do when the band
plays "Allons enfants de la patrie"?
What they did was to stand up, as
did everyone else, and remain stiffly
at attention until the music stopped.
Everybody was greatly relieved.
Sports are destined to bring the
nations of Europe together on
friendly terms quicker than the ex-
change of sugar coated acid notes"
Mr.. Breton said later in the day,
pointing to Walter Rutt, the veteran
cyclist from Germany, chatting in
an amiable manner with Gabriel
Poulain, the forty -year-old champion
of France.

and when he retired it was the opin-
ion of many that that was one mark
that would stand to the credit of
Wagner for all time.
Another record which the Detroit
manager pried loose from the former
Pirate shortstop was the making OF
the largest number of hits. Wagner
