n YEW YORK. December Ii
M The chief interest for the an,
VI nual meeting of the National
/ League today was the draft
ing OF the schedule for next
season.
The league, already pledged to Il
longer season, appeared certain to de-
eide to name the first week in Oc-
tober as the closing date i'll 1927.
The season ended the last week in
September this year. Commissioner
Landis favors the prolongation, since
the short season failed to bring about
an earlier date for the world series.
Only one club completed the schedule
on time.
Some magnates favored asking
Commissioner Landis to increase the
usefulness of the Advisory Council of
the Ma jor Leagues, which has func-
toned but rarely in the last few
years.
Farming System Is Target.
The practice of clubs maintaining
farms in minor leagues. despite the
draft system, designed to give each
team an equal chance at youthful
material, possibly was another mat
ter for the leagues attention. Bar
ney Dreyfuss, Pittsburgh owner, has
declared the arrangement "hypocrit-
ical." complaining that one team
alone controlled six minor league
clubs.

play by the goal keeper, who stands
at the end of the field within circle,
from which she cannot emerge and
into which no one else Is allowed.
The rest of the team is divided into
guards and forwards. The object is
to attempt to put the ball between
the goal posts. similar to posts used
in soccer or foot ball. The crossbar
is 81 inches from the gound and the
ball must go beneath it, not over, as
in foot ball.
PLAYERS can use their hands to
catch the ball, bat it or defect its
course in any way they may desire.
Other parts of their body may be
used, also, with the exception of the

wants to be host to @ world champion

championship event, provided it was
promoted by an organization such as
the Western Golf Association or the
district body.
Twenty thousand dollars is the
largest cash prize ever offered for golf
play and is double the value of the
Los Angeles open, the biggest money
event at present. Such q tourney. it
was believed, would attract from to
10 of the leading golfers of England,
France and other nations

Suggestion was made that the
100000 prize money might be added
to the Western open, but this was
held not feasible, and the proposal
was laid aside for later consideration.
