PROBLEM FOR WESTERN
Looks as II League Must Vote to Favor
Draft Plan.

Kansas City, Mo-, Jan. 20. - The
optional player plan proposed by the
major baseball leagues was scheduled
as one Of the principal questions for
discussion at the annual meeting here
today of the Western League. Award
ing of the Sioux City franchise TO
either Pueblo, Colo, or Muskogrp.
Okla, and setting of the opening and
closing dates for the 1928 season also
were on the program.
While Al Tearney. president of the
organization, is reported to be strongly
opposed TO the draft. club owners in
the circuit are said to be about equally
divided on the question. Tulsa, Denver
and Omaha are Western League clubs
IN which major league magnates have
an interest. Frank Isbell. owner Of the
Wichita Club, is reported to be in
favor of the draft.
If each club in the Western League
was owned by an individual the league
could stand Tat against the draft" Jack
Holland, president of the Oklahoma
City Club, said prior to the meet
ing. But with several major clubs
interested in teams in the circuit it will
he hard 10 solve the draft problem.
These clubs cannot very well turn
down the draft
Present cities in the Western League
are Wichita, Kan; St. Joseph. Mo. ::
Omaha, Neb.; Sioux City and Des
MOines. Iowa; Denver. Colo. and Tulsa
and Oklahoma City. Okla.

thought that Unglaub should have cas-

After Dougherty had reached first
base, Gray developed streak of wild
ness-the most unusual streak l have
ever seen. He walked seven men in
succession, forcing in five runs. The
count was three and two on practically
every batter. 4 couple of outs and an
other base on balls was responsible for
the sixth run Of the inning.
Joe Cantillon. managing the Washing
ton club. was short ON pitchers at the
time and let Gray take his medicine.
In the next inning Gray recovered con-
troll and for the rest OF the game held
the Sox runless and hitless. Washing.
ton staged several rallies and Chicago
had hard time winning. 6 to 4.
That game stands out in my men,
DRY as the most peculiar ball game l
ever worked. Gray, who really pitch
cd a no-hit game, was beaten, 6 to 4,
because he developed a streak of wild
ness in which he gave eight bases on
balls in one inning. seven of them in
succession-forcing five runs over the
plate.

BOTH ROCHESTER AND
BOSTON CLUBS CLAIM
SERVICES OF CONLON
HARVARD Shortstop Gets Into
Jam in Entering PRO
Baseball.
BY JOHN b. FOSTER.

Copyright, 1878, by the san Antonio Light
New York, Jan. 29.-Judge X. NJ.
Lands, commissioner of baseball, is
making investigation today into the
status in professional baseball of Arthur
(JocEOD COnlOn. former shOrtstOp and
captain of the Harvard university nine.
COnlon has been called to appear be-
fore the commissioner by the Rochester
club of the International league which
claims prior right TO his services.
The Rochester club asserted that
COnlon accepted the terms offered by
that organization and had no right TO
sign with the Boston National League
club. Announcement was only recently
made that the Harvard eX-ceptain had
gone TO Boston.
The Rochester club officials claimed
today that they had been dickcring with
COnlon for some time and recently re-
ccivcd a telegram from him stating the
terms on which he was prepared to join
the international League club. The
secretary of the Rochester club stated
that. not caring to use the telegraph
wires in this connection, he at once got
j.. touch with COnlOn by long distance
telephone and that club and player, in
the ensuing conversation. came to
terms. COnlOn. said the secretary told
him he had determined TO enter pro-
fesSiOnal baseball and was ready to sign
with Rochester. although when he left
college last June he had not intended to
become a professional.
Immediately after this conversation
the Rochester club states that it wired
John III. Farrell of the National AsSo-
citation of Baseball Clubs announcing
that it had accepted Conlon's terms. In
baseball the acceptance of terms is
equivalent 10 contract and for that
reason Rochester lost no time in put
ting ConlOn on record. The club also
declares that it tclcgraphCd ConlOn
formally accepting his terms in order
that the transaction might be fully
completed
The next thing Rochester knew. an
announcement was made from Boston
that the Boston Nationals had signed
CCnlOn to contract and intended to
play him ut shOrtstop this season. The
announcement said that Conlon had
agreed to the Boston terms in spite
Of the fact that he had had offers from
other clubs.
Rochester ut once brought the mat
fer to the attention of Commissioner
80 - 80 WY "'"'''
for COnlon 10 appear before the COM
missioner today.
1t was reported some time back that
COnlon had been offered the position of
coach to tho Harvard freshmen team
and it is assumed that the Harvard
authorities took it for granted that this
would prevent his entry into professional
baseball. Harvard alumni. in view of
recent discussions as 10 amateur sport
in the colleges, appeared somewhat dis
turbed over the matter today as Con-
lon seemed not only TO have signed with
Boston but to be in a jangle with an
other club.

TWO PROMISING TITLE
BOUTS ON THIS WEEKS
PROGRAM In NEW YORK
Loughran Fights Greb ard
Flores Takes on
Johnny Dundee.

New York. Jan. 29.--The weeks box
ing card is one of the best in some time.
Two champions will defend their titles
at Madison Square Garden. On Tues
day night Tommy LOughran of Phila-
Celphia will attempt to take the light
heavyweight crown which Harry Orch
clumsily defended against Dave Shades
attacks in Jersey last week. IL Greb
isn't at least 100 per cent better than
he was then. Philadelphia will be SPORT
ing champion among her citizens after
Tuesday. Loughran recently gave Greb
n hard run for his money at Pittsburg.
He hasn't fought here before, but those
who have seen him say he is far from
being a SLOUGH at defense and punching.
The other title tilt is between that
little junior lightweight wonder. Johnny
Dundee, and Elmo Flores. the latter a
stablemate Of punching Pancho Villa
who swatted his way to the top Of the
flyweights. Flores is good, game.
clever young man. He has a sharp
shooting eve and n deadly wallop. He
has won some hard battles and he also
has been undeservedly favored in some
fights that he didn't win. Anyway.
there ought to be considerable doings
when the two meet Friday.
A howl from New Jersey when Kick
ard signed Harry Greb for fight with
Tommy Loughran two days before Grsb
was TO hitch up with Pal Reed in New
York, has brought results. The Jersey
men could not see that at all.
The way they figured it was that
Harry Greb would make his real fight
against Loughran and then do waltz
with Reed in Newark; at the same
time. the battle. which was set for next
Thursday night. Loughran and Greb
meeting on Tuesday, was a sell-out.
Now n bad fight in payment for
sell-out is poor business. So the Jersey
bout was set back week. But some
body had to pay for this idle week and
! Richard did il.
New Jersey fans are fed up on no.
decision bouts. They are going to get
the legislature TO legalize decisions. As
the situation stands now they say that
| New York, with ycrdiCts permitted. gets
| all the real fights and that the champions
and near-champions flock to Jersey to
caress one another. A real honest-to-
| Mike bout in Skeeterland between
