MINORS DECIDE TO
 LET DRAFT ALONE
ReSCind Action Taken at Recent
 Meeting at Dallas

Chicago, Jan. 10 RNAnother budding revolt over the baseball draft methods of the major leagues has been scotched. with the minor leaguers again acknowledging that the major hold the whip hand in the baseball player market.
 Delegates representing the 24 or ganize1 minor Ieaguers voted yester- day to rescind their Dallas resolution and permit the draft situation to run along just as :t has for the past seven years, and as it will continue during the Mcumbency of Commis- sioner Landis. under the terms Of their new resolution.
 The five minors International, Pa- cific Coast and Three Eye Leagues, and American anLSouthern Associa- tions. won their fight-with the backing of the major leagues-to continue the modified draft. No player. under this modification. can be drafted from the five clubs unless he. came down from major league club.
 The minors also rescinded another attempt to hamper the majors in their draft methods, by changing a rule which would have allowed the minors to keep Harmed, out" player for Q year before his recall.
 The aim of the minors in t74eir Dallas action, tt was understood, was to in majors to send their rookie, d.n.. to some of the leagues of lower classification than the five. but the majors maintained that their youngsters received a quicker polish by playing in faster company, and 1t would take too long for them to de- velop in the small circuits.
 With their retraction on file. the minors got down to business sessions today on some complaints and ad- justments accumulated since the Dallas meeting.

H0LYOKE MOHAWKS
 SIGNED FOR GAME
Conqurors of Renaissance Five
 to Meet New Britain Team

There will be no state league bas- ketball game in this city Saturday night butAs all attraction. one prob ably as good as any state league quintet, Manager Clarence Lanpher last night signed the Mohawks of Holyoke to appear against the New Britain team at the Stanley Arena. The Mohawks only last week hand ed the Renaissance Five of New York, colored champions of the world, 2 setback.
 The visiting quintet holds the unique position of being one Of the best basketball combinations in the Bay State. It has played as unit together for a number of years and it's lineup contains the names of sev- eral players who have come to the fore as basketball stars.
 The two Cassidy brothers, Frank and James. will occupy the forward positions on the quintet here Satur- day night. Both have appeared in this city on numerous occasions and they form a speedy pair. Jerry Con- way, who is the mainstay of the Meriden Endees. will jump center. He has an advantage over opposing pivot men in that he is taller and his wide experience in basketball throughout the country has made him an invaluable player with any team. The guard positions are cov- cred by Graeber and Torno, two strict guardians of opposing for wards.
 Although the New Britain lineup isn't set yet, q decision on the start ing players will be made after a practice session Wednesday night. Manag ger Lanpher expressed himself today as totally dissatisfied with the showing of the team in its last few games and he has ordered his play CTS to snap out of the slump
 Two games remain to be played in the state league and the second round will start next week. Water bury meets Hartford Sunday after noon in Waterbury and Bristol is scheduled to play the Atlas Satur- day night. This will wind up the first half of the league and all the teams will gird themselves for the long grind to come in the second half.

ASK SHARKEY ID
 PROVE CONDITION
Boston Sailor Must Be in Proper Physical Shape for Bout

New York, Jan. 10 (UP)-Jack Sharkey of Boston is due here today to answer two of the most import ant questions now agitating the world of boxing.
 First, the New York state athletic commission wants to know whether the big Lithuanian is in proper physical condition for his scheduled bout with Tom Heeney next Friday night.
 Second, the fans want to know whether Sharkey can whip the New Zealander and thus establish himself as the most logical" of Gene Tun- ney's prospective opponents for 1928.
 With differences between Tex Rickard and Gene Tunney finally smoothed out, and agreement reach ed that the heavyweight champion can fight twice this year provided he does so under Richards direction, the Sharkey-Heeney fight. now only three days away, looms as the most important of the winter.
 Sharkey. who came bombastically to town to met the "old hollow she'll" Jack Dempsey. last year. now has lost most of his bombast,. and comes from Boston in rather apologetic frame of mind.
 The Lithuanian must first con- vince the local boxing authorities that he is in first class shape for the Heeney bout. Then he must give the rugged antipodean a first class beating to establish himself once more in the front rank of Illogical" contenders.
 The chances are that Sharkey's chastened frame of mind will mili- tate strongly in his favor in the Heeney bout.
 The Lithuanian lost to Dempsey at the Yankee Stadium last July solely through stupid over-confi- dence. He probably would be over- confident of whipping the New Zea- lander if he had not received a stern lesson at the hands of the ex-cham- pion. Whether or not he was foul- ed, Sharkey didn't use his head in the Dempsey fight. He probably will be cautious against Heeney, and that is about all he needs to be to win on points.
 There seems no reason to doubt that the boxing commission will find Sharkey in shape for the fight. If anything is wrong, a lot of customers are going to be sadly disappointed. for the Garden is nearly sold out for the match and the receipts are ex- pected to reach $o00,00o.
 Gene Tunney, despite the warning of Commissioner Muldoon that the next challenger for the title might be seen in action on Friday night, Ap- parently is not worrying. The heavy

CONNIE MACK ID
 TRY NEW WRINKLE
Will Announce Team Only After
 All Have Signed Contracts

Philadelphia, Jan. 10 CP-Connie Mack. sagacious manager of the Philadelphia Athletics, is going to i try new wrinkle this year in sign ing up his players for the 1928 pen nant dash. When the complete crew has returned signed contracts. Mack will tell the world, but until then he will keep playing roster locked up in the safe.
 No more issuing of names of signed players in homeopathic doses." said Mack today. We are going to be dumb until all hands have sent in the papers,"
 The sage of Shibe park pointed out that if by the middle of January 1 fifteen players were announced as signing contracts. it would be easy to figure out those who had not sign ed. Then the fans would begin to bother Mir. Mack by demanding to know why this player or that player was not under contract, a question that sometimes causes embarrass- ment.
 For many years the Athletic club i has had its entire roster under con- tract before the majority of other major league outfits. Last year every man was signed long before the first detachment was headed for the training grounds at Fort Myers, Fla.
 Mack, 1t was learned today, has about abandoned hope of signing Ty Cobb for 1928. If he had Sunday baseball, he said, he could afford it, but the Athletics are not in q posi- tion to pay $60,000 or anything like that sum to Ty for another season. Much depends on the other clubs. If they don't raise Mack's offer. Cobb probably will be back. and Mack Is hopeful that this will be the case.
 If he returns to the Mackmen he will be posted in center field from the beginning and Al Simmons switched to left. Walters French, Ossie Orwoll and Bing Miller, again in the athletic fold, will fight it out for the post in right Lebourveau and Hass are two other gardeners who are to be given thorough trial.
