SHOWDOWN WEDNESDAY
Big Minors May Pull Away;
O'TooIe Wins.
BY FRANK GETTY,
United Press Sports Editor

TORONTO, Ont, Dec. A battle
which may bring about new align
ment in organized baseball was on
in Toronto today. The question of
the universal draft, whereby play
ers from leagues now exempt from
selection, may be taken up by the
majors, was placed before the dele
gates to the annual meeting OF the
national association.
When representatives of thirty
minor leagues enter the congress,
they will have to vote upon propo-
sitions which radically change the
present order of things. The major
leagues are we'll represented at
Toronto what with President Heyd-
Ter of the National League and
President Barnard of the American
on hand, and their influence already
is making itself felt among repre-
sentatives of the smaller asSocia-
tionS.
Everybody Talking Draft
The universal draft, which means
that ball players from Glass AA
leagues can be selected by the ma
jors, just as players in lower cate
gorieS of baseball, was the one sub
ject Of conversation in the crowded
lobbies of the King Edward hotel.
Opponents of the plan were out
numbered, but were vociferouS in
their declaration that if any such
scheme were carried out there
would be a break in the ranks of
the national association, which at
present embraces all thirty of the
minor leagues.
Withdrawal of the three Glass
AA leagues-the international, Pa
cific Coast and American Associa-
tion-is a certainty, members of
those groups declare, if any move
is made at the Toronto meeting to
force upon them the universal
draft.
Ready to Withdraw
These leagues are prepared to
draw away from the National As
ISOLATION and form an organization
Of their own before they will give
up the rights to players which they
enjoy under the status quo. The
National Association itself is not
scheduled to go into session until
Wednesday, which leaves consider
able time for lobbying.
The first drive against the oppo-
sition to the draft was made when
certain elements within the Inter-
national League attempted to GUST
John Conway Toole as president.
Toole represents the group of Glass
AA clubs which feel that the uni
versal draft constitutes an en-
croachment upon their rights. 1t
proved so difficult, this business of
ousting the International League
president, that Toole's opponents
gave up in despair and did not even
bring the matter up at the annual
meeting.
Resolutions Arouse Wrath
Wednesday, when the National
Association convenes formally, sew
eral baseball men have resolutions
to propose which are certain to
arouse the wrath and opposition of
that group of mo mans land" in
organized baseball known as the
class double A leagues.

OuOner Perry and Manager Bethel Confer With Bush
StOetonic DEAL Bruno Signs for 20
By Times Special

By Times Special
TORONTO, Ontario, Dec. A.
Owner Jim Perry of the Indian
apolis A. A. champions, and Man
ager Bethel expected to hold an
important conference here today
with Manager Ownie Bush of the
Pirates regarding a deal that may
send Steve Swetonic, the Tribes ace
pitcher, to Pittsburgh. Bush was
due in Toronto this morning, after
making fast trip to Pittsburgh to
consult with Owner Dreyfuss.
Swetonic arrived in Toronto late
Monday to inquire about his 1929
job. He resides in Pittsburgh and
prefers to be sold to that club. The
New York Giants and other big
league teams also are dealing for
Steve, but the Pirates are said to
have the inside.
Just as Fans Guessed
Perry late Monday cleared up the
mystery surrounding the Indian
apolis managerial job by announc-
ing Bruno Bethel had been reap
pointed. Most fans back home al
ready had guessed this move despite
some wild talk to the contrary. It
is reported Bethel was holding out
for $500, but it is not known the
exact sum he signed for.
Rumors at the minor league con-
vention here say Johnny Corridor,
Indianapolis coach, may land as
manager with Louisville or st. Paul,
but the reports were merely
whispers. Owner Perry stated Cor
riden could remain with the In
dams as coach if he desires.
Pongo Joe Cantillon, known to all
diamond fans, Monday was ap-
pointed supervisor of American As
ISOLATION umpires. Joe will tour
the league and observe the work of
the "guessers" and make frequent
reports to President Hickey.
