McGraw FavOrs Draft.
McGraw is known to favor the draft.
His stand is very likely sentimental.
because when the Giants have needed
players, McGraw has been fortunate
enough to have owners who would agree
10 permit him to stretch the purse
strings and get them.
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
which play ball in the south and whici,
never make dollar in a season 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 go
out and pay what they wish for any
player who suits their fancy, while in
the smaller league. where they may not
have the luck to develop anything
which is worth while, no money will
he spent because there is nothing to
buy. For that reason the smaller
leagues-and there are many Of them
in the south and Ty perhaps is speak
ing 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 posi-
tions without the draft.
Must Prove Their Worth.
That is reasoning from a false
premise. A ball player who cannot
make the draft would have no more
chance of being purchased outright
than If there was a draft which took
in all players. The players must
show merit to be acceptable to a
