Baseball Stars of Yesterday Can't Resist National Game :

PORTLAND Me, Aug. 2f.-Their names were bywords
on the diamond just a few years back
All the fans acclaimed them. And the snort editors
heralded them widely
They were big league stars then.
But age finally got the best of them And they drifed
out of sight Now the world practically has forgotten
them
Yet they're still playing ball. They can't resist the lure
Of the old game.

FIVE Baking LEAGUES
NOT VITAL TO MAJORS

NEW YORK. January 17.--Statistics
reveal that the five minor base ball
leagues which are protesting the
more strenuously against the reap
plication Of the draft by the two
major leagues were less affected by
its operation last year than all of
the other small leagues and that the
quintet sold fewer players into fast
company than their lesser com
panions
In 1922 the major leagues took osS
men from all the minor leagues, 1J1
by purchase, 115 through the exercise
of options and % by draft. OF this
total ~ were bought and ~ were
! taken on option from the protesting
five. The five leagues American
( Association, International, Pacific
Coast, Western and Three l, averaged
one player each disposed to a major
league club.
Followers of the game cite these
figures as indicating that the majors
are finding their best material in the
leagues of lower classification and
that the five class AA ORGANIZATIONS
the protesting quintet-are losing
financially by refusing to accept the
provisions of the draft
Last year the majors signed only
forty players who had been free
agents-players from semi >profes-

True. the young Iowa giant will
have to take q small reverse or two
in tho coming twelve months while
learning a lot of things that he will
have to know before he could hope

does seem too bad that this early in
his career he should be sent against
perhaps the most dangerous enemy
he could be called on to face outside
of Dempsey himself.
The scrap, is to be held in March

ings Gibbons could today, provided,
OF course, he is IN any kind of shape,

Evidently Cook has thrown NoYer-

wise policy, Of making haste slowly.
