The difficulty in combating mOOnshning is that
the industry is profitable though plants must

are chafing under the benevolent
despotism" of Commissioner Lands,
the New York World said today.
Dissatisfaction is felt over the belief
that the high commissioner has iS-
nored the existence of the advisory
council, for no meeting has been call
ed in the past two years, the paper
said.
While club owners can not be
quoted in criticism of each other or
Commissioner Lands under their
mutual agreement, the magnates
were represented as considering the
suggestion of steering committee"
to advise with the commissioner dur
ing the off-season for joint meetings.
The advisory council consists OF
Commissioner Lands, President John
Geydler, OF the Natlonal League anu
Vice President Frank Navin of the
American League, who replaced Ban
Johnson, American League head, two
years ago.
An effort to bring about amend
ments to Landiss working agree
ment with the leagues seems likely
at the joint meeting, the magnates
indicated. The club owners expect
that no increase in the $4,000 a
year salary already paid the commits
sioner, will be granted at the Chi
cago pow-woW.

PACIFIC COAST
AWARDED WESTERN
AMATEUR TOURNEY

Chicago, Dec. 13-(P)-For the sec
ond time in history, a major golf
tournament will be held on the Paci-
f1c coast, the 1927 Western amateur
title meet having been awarded II
the Seattle Golf club by the Eastern
Golf Association. The western open
meet goes to the Olympia amateur
was played at Del Monte, Calf, but
so few players from east Of the Rock
les were able to compete that the
plan of going to the coast was aban-
doned until this year.
The growth of golf in the far west,
and victories scored by westerners in
national meets. have made demands
for the staging of champ -nships
more insistend yearly. Last season
the western amateur title was won
by Frank Dolp of Portland, Ore, and
the national crown was carried to
the Pacific by George Won Elm of Los
Angeles, who defeated Bobby Jones
of Atlanta in the finals. This latter
victory by a western golfer mas
brought about a tentative plan TO
carry the national amateu to the Ia
cific cost within a year or two also
The western amateur will be play
ed the week of July Is. While the ma
tional amateur will take place at the
Minikahda club, Minneapolis. Aug. z,
placing the two major simon pure
golf events west of the Mississippi
River in 1927.
The annual meeting Saturday night
was the largest held by the w. G. A,
for several years. Reports showed
the addition of GO new member clups
making the total SOB and constituting
the w. G. A. the largest golf organi-
cation in the world.
This leadership likely will be as
sumed by the National parent BODY
the United States Golf association
within a short time. as it is planned
at the annual meeting in January TO
allow allied clubs to become active
members.
Charles P. Pfeil of Memphis, SEN
Tor vice president Of the U. ). q. A,
who attended the meeting of the W.
G. A., of which he was president Tor
years, said with the extension OF
active memberships by the L. ). q.

NATIONAL LEACUERS
UP AGAINST HIGH
PRICES IN BARTER|NC

New York, Dec. 13.-(P)-National
League magnates, gathering here for
their annual meeting tomorrow, I'M
nmbered vocal guns in brisk player
bartering today without scoring eff
fectively against a barrier Of high
prices.
Spokesman for the Boston Braves
said that negotiations were In prog
ress with the New York Giants for a
deal under which Pitcher Joe Gene
witch of the Hub team would come
here in exchange for First Baseman
Bill Terry. The Braves already have
indicated their desire to replace Bur-
rus at the initial base. While Man
ager McGraw of the Giants has held
Terry for trading purposes more than
a year.
Terry has been seeking regular
assignment but McGraW has found
little opportunity to use him except
as a pinch hitter and utility outne!d-
er and first baseman. A high price
tag has kept Terry on the Giant ros-
ter. although he apparently has had
little chance to displace George REL
lev as regular first baseman.
Although Barney Dreyfuss, PITTS
burgh magnate, asserted he haa
"nothing to buy and nothing to sell.
his new pilot, DOME Bush, announc-
ed he was in the market for pltch-
er. an infielder and Utility outheld-
err Bush said he would like to
strengthen second base, but his as
pirations seemed vetoed by an an.
nouncement from Dreyfuss that Hal
Rhyme. probably will get the regular
keystone assignment next year.
Stuffy McInnis announced that ne
virtually was looking for Wnole
new Philadelphia team. The, new
Quaker boss, among other things
wants two infielders, two pitchers
and an outfelder, he said. >,

Baseball dopesters found two JOBS
for Eddie Collins, deposed manager
of the Chicago White Sox. one re-

for the Yanks. Eddie was not pres

Walter Kopousch, backfield star

CARRICAN AND
H0WLEY new FACES
lat LEAGUE SESSIONS

Chicago, Dec. 13.-tP Little fuel
remained for hot stove deliberations
as American Association club owners
gathered today for weeks session.
n Managers to succeed all the deA
posed pilot stars have already been
announced, though the future plans
of some of the former I'D generals
have not been disclosed. Commls-
sioner K. Nj. Lands apparently has
only to count the vote to learn his
plurality for another term as base
ball boss.
The player trading activities of
some of the seven new major league
managers promises to principal acti-
witty of the week. The recent minor
league gathering at Ashevi.le re-
suited in very little dickering, so
apparently the majors will have to
fall back on swapping players among
themselves.
The promised announcement OF
Eddie Collins, former manager of the
White SoX, that he could name the
American League club he will play
with next summer, is one of the few
definite events on the pr gram. That
he will rejoin Connie Mack. his old
manager is considered likely.
National League owners meet in
New York Tuesday and President
Heydler will bring his magnates here
for a joint session Thursday. Hover
ing around these two groups will be
other club owners ready to buy and
sell.
Three Of the five new American
League managers. Ray Schaik of the
White Sox, Jack McCallister of
Cleveland, and George Morlarity of
Detroit, will at least need some high
class players to fill the vacant shoes
of the three playing managers they
succeeded. The SoX lost Eddie Col
Inns, PRIMER second baseman, the In
dams lost Iris Speaker and the
Tigers lost Ty Cobb.
Dan Howley at st. Louis and Bill
Carrigan at Boston are the other new
faces in the Johnson circuit, and with
the possible exception of SchalK,
none of the five will be playing man
ayers.
The first open talk of a trade TO
fill the yawning holes in the lineup
left by the departure of these stars
is the rumor of a White SoX dicker
for Aaron Ward, Yankee second
baseman, in exchange for some pitch
ing talent.

RANKING RICHARDS
PUZZLES OFFICIALS

New York, Dec. 13.-[P)-Dispute
over the ranking of Vincent Rich
ards, professional tennis star, at the
head of the Metropolitan list, seems
likely to be carried to the floor of
the annual United States Lawn Ten
MS Association meeting here in
Sebruary.
The Metropolitan ranking COM
mittee, headed by William Fischer,
Of New York, who is also chairman
of the national ranking committee,
placed Richards in No. l position
after the former Davis cup star had
Joined the professional forces at the
close of the amateur season.
The executive committee of the T..
S. T. A meeting here Saturday,
recommended that the coming ses-
sion of the national body consider
none but amateur players in
any ranking of the national associa-
ton or it's subsidiary associations"
While no announcement was made,
it is believed that national rank
ing was submitted to the executive
committee for approval by Mr..
Fischer shortly before the resolution
was adopted.
Tennis critics believe that in the
event of verbal warfare over the
choice of a professional as ranking
amateur tennis player of the coun-
try. a special body will be chosen
at the meeting to work with the
ranking committee in naming the
list. The delegates in the past have
not followed at all times the sug-
gestions of the executive committee.
The executive committee also
adopted a resolution carrying Miss
Mary X. Browne, Harvey Snod-
grass, and Howard Kinsey. members
of the Mile. Lenglen professional

petition in amateur matches or
tournaments held under the auspices

gave an amazing display of speed
and punching power in disposing of
Joe Clifford of New York in the sec
ond round of a six round prelim-
mary to the Rosenblum-K plan
match at Madison Square Garden
tonight. Balduc was a wrath on
defense and his ripping punches so
battered Clifford that the referee
halted the bout after two minutes
and 30 seconds of lighting in the
round. Balduc weighed 100. Clifford
