LEAGUE HEADS GATHER
FOR BUSINESS MEETINGS

NEW YORK, February 12.-The pro-
season will be held this week with
the annual business meetings of the
National and International leagues,
the latter starting at noon today, the
former tomorrow morning. Club own
ers and their retinues began arriving
last night.
The International League may ex-
press its opposition to the draft plan
of the major leagues, and the Ma
tional League may adopt resolution
concerning the opposition of the In
ternational and others of the minors
to the plan. whereby players re-
leased by the majors to the minors
may be taken back into fast company
through draft process.
The National League meeting will
be enlivened by President August
Hermann of the Cincinnati Reds,
who plans to bring up the issue over
Pitcher Rube Benton, whom he Is
trying to purchase from the st. Paul
Club. Completion of the sale has
been held up pending approval OF
Commissioner Lands. who has re-
ceived protests from major league
owners who object to the former
giant and Red re-entering the Ma
tional League.
Herr mann contends that II Benton

Ordinarily the player could con-

be loose impeachment, and could re-
move 1t with his hand before play
ing. In championship play, how
ever, special local rules for the day
might have called for different
conduct. Evans was wise to call
