MAJORS APPROVE ACTION ON DRAFT
Next Action in Baseball War Is
 Up to Minor Leagues

New York, Dec. 16 P-Rumbl- ings of baseball war had subsided today as the major leagues stamped approval upon the scrapping of the draft system as proposed by the minor circuits.
 This action, taken at joint meet ing of the National and American Leagnues here yesterday, marked the close of the baseball gathering and left the next move over the draft situation up 10 the minors.
 While the majors expressed will ingness to terminate the maior- minor league agreement on next January If, when the seven year period of its operation expires, should the minors so desire. they also agreed to q truce until Feb. |, when the minors will make known their wishes.
 Meantime, the present agreement stands. > Abolition of the draft, which is not considered likely, would split the minors and majors into 'H'N E' ii'' tL luNtioilS.
 Without the joint understanding between the two groups as now pre- vails, there would be no draft, no rules on the sale or recall of players save those instituted by the majors
 While upholding a claim that the agreement is in force as long as Commissioner Landis holds office, the majors called for a ow-down on the minors challenge by passing the following resolutions:
 Resolved. that the major leagues, in reply to the inquiry of the Ma tional Association, (of minor leagues) informed the National Associatlo that the major leagues are willing to have the maior-minor agreement terminate on Jan. 14. 1928, If the National Association so desires"
 This decision from the majors was a surprise to the minors whose committees requested until Feb. 1 before taking definite stand in the matter. The minors committee con sisted of John H. Farrell. Herman J. Weisman and William G. Cham ham.
 The muddle arose during the re- cent minor league confah in Dallas. Five leagues were ordered to CIs continue the modified draft and a, the same time the proposal was made to end the minor-lnajor agree ment at the expiration of Landis' first seven-year term Of office.
 Eighteen amendments to major league rules were adopted including of punishment of player, wagering on ball games or accepting money to exert themselves harder against rival club.

Chicago, Dec. 16 P-The two team football argument still rages in the Western Conference, and the more Coach Zuppke Of Illinois talks about it, the more critical he be- comes. He told the Aurora alumni of Illinois last night that 1t was a "flabby idea" because men don't play football for exercise but for "the drama and heroism of it."
 Adding a second footbalYteam to the university athletic program is 8 mere drop In the bucket where there are 1000 male students, Zuppke continued, and there will always be one "best" team anyway.

New Britain herald., 1927-12-16

Harold W. Heinz in the Spring ileid Union of yesterday, prints a letter he received from Sid Kramer, business manager of the Renaissance Basketball Five of New York city. The letter deals with comments made by Mr. Heinz in his column relative 10 game between the Springfield Y. NJ. II. A. and the New ork team q week ago in which the coiored stars handed the home club a neat lacing.
New Britain herald., 1927-12-16

Nevertheless. MT. kramers "crack' would lead one to believe that Dick Dillon bodily threw Jen- hlns from the contest. Though we think Dick would be capable of do- ing just that if necessary. we think he would have had to have some help. but there was no necessity of it.
New Britain herald., 1927-12-16

Kramer took olfenSe at some re- mark or other pertaining to his club and it's efforts to have the four personal foul rule declared off. Dur Ing the course of the letter. one paragraph especially, drew our at ttntion. Ii follows:
New Britain herald., 1927-12-16

We are pretty certain that there Is no one connected in any way with basketball who questions the in t"grlly of Dick Dillon as an official. His efficiency is his best asset and where ne appears as the 11th man on the floor in q basketball game, the players and public alike feel cer- tain that the violations of the rules which take place will be called as he sees them and not according to the score or the standing of the home club.
New Britain herald., 1927-12-16

We lose once in d while. We lost in New Britain three or four weeks ago ny three points because hey threw Jenkins out of the game. We cannot afford to let teams of this caiib"r beat us and we must present our iulI lineup at all times.'
New Britain herald., 1927-12-16

We had occasion to meet all the Renaissance players last year and again this year and we found every man on the club to be gentleman. Right after the game or until the team left this city. there was no word of criticism of Dick Dilon's part in the game.
New Britain herald., 1927-12-16

The Renaissance players are paid 10 play basketball and not to sit on tn" bench and we at this end are not in the game for the glory of it or because We get our name in the newspapers.
New Britain herald., 1927-12-16

However. the remarks of Mr Kramer anent the game here bring us back 10 one point and that is, that the Renaissance Five cannot bear to he beaten. What a take down for the colored champions of the world to trim the Original Celtics in New York on a Wednesday by a sizea ble score and then lose to New Britain the following Saturday.
New Britain herald., 1927-12-16

Mr. Kramer goes on to end his letter which. we think, is one of the most out and out ins' inces of "sour grapes VIC have t"ken note of in some time.
New Britain herald., 1927-12-16

Immediately after the game play ed here, Mir. Kramer had no criti- ciSm of the fact that Jenkins went out Of the game. As it happened New Britain was ahead of the New York team by about eight points when Jenkins was given the gate. lie left with about seven minutes to play and his successor. "Cappy" Kicks, did more in the few minutes he was in than Jenkins was able to do at the time. In fact as 1t hap pened, the management would have done well to have made the change sooner.
New Britain herald., 1927-12-16

If the Renaissance Five cannot play basketball as it is played in this section Of the country, then Mir. kramer better keep his team in New ork or any place else where the rule does not prevail.
New Britain herald., 1927-12-16

MT. kramer's complaint centers about the four personal fouls. Be- fore tho game began, it was clearly understood between Kramer, his score keeper, Referee Dillon, Man ager Lanpher of the local team and the local score keeper that the four personal foul rule would be strictly adhered to.
New Britain herald., 1927-12-16

No one threw Jenkins out of the game. It was Referee Dick Dillon who called the fourth personal foul on the Renaissance guard. It was the local score keeper who called atten- ion to the fact.
New Britain herald., 1927-12-16

1t certainly was a shame that New Britain had to win the game, but maybe in the second meeting the To- cal quintet might do something about the matter. It may be possible to "fX" things so that the colored champs will win as long as no one says anything to Busy" Sturm, Tom Leary, Jimmy Zakzewski Herkt Rubenstefn or Al Sloman about the matter.
 Until then. we must admit that New Britain in all humility will lay claim to one victory over the Rem aissance Five. colored champions Of the world, although we doubt that any claim will be laid to the colored championship.
