BY BRIAN BELL,

-ORONTO. Ontario, December 8.
Mo prophet nor son of pro-
nhet is needed to make fore
cast of the one word to be heard
more often than any other at
the annual convention of the Natlonal
Association of Professional Base Ban
Leagues. opening in Toronto Weones-
day. It will be draft" :,
On behalf of the major leagues, al
though not directly from the big lei
lows will be submitted plan by winch
the majors would agree to sign no
nlavers without previous protesslonai
experience. except from the colleges. II
the minors fall solidly in line behlno
the unrestricted draft, or selection by
promotion" of base ball players.
Under the existing arrangements flve
leagues the American Association, ia,
cific Coast, International, western anu
II. (Three Eye) are bound 10
limited draft, which permits the majors
to select from teams OF the clrculCS
players sent to them from the Amer
ican and National League CLUBS.
Additional Provisions.
The nroposed revision of the selec-
tion nrocess also would provide that
no nlayer could be drafted from a class
AA club until he had spent four sea-
sons or parts of four seasons in pro-
fessional base ball. The class re-
ollirement would be three seasons or
parts of seasons with two Tor class b.
Indications before the opening OF the
convention were that little, If any, hope
could be held out for the passage OF
the revised plan through the conven-
tions. as such action must be unanimous
and formal objection to 1t has been
voiced by two leagues.
Defeat of the effort to restore the
unrestricted draft in this form, how
ever, may only serve to start the flre-
works. William G. Bramham, presl-
dent of the South Atlantic Association,
Piedmont and Eastern Carolina Leagues,
long a sponsor for the draft as the
salvation of the leagues OF lower claSsl-
fication, is sponsoring a resolution
which does not require unanimous ac-
ton, but mere majority.
President Bramham will propose an
amendment providing that a player
signing a contract to play with ma
tional association club operating under
the draft cannot thereafter be deprived
of the privilege of being drafted If his
ability warrants Under Bramham'S
resolution if a player starting his base
ball career with club in draft"
league should later wave his contract
assigned by trade or purchase toa
mon draft" league he could be drafted
in spite of the league rule forbidding
such selection"
Proxies May Decide.
Mr.. Bramham said today that he
plans to support his proposed amend
ment by an argument that any process
denying possible promotion to a player
is unjust, unethical, unequitable and
illegal" 1t was suggested today that the
fate Of this effort to save part of the
draft may hinge on the proxies. A num-

Although the convention proper will
not be called to order until Wednesday
scores of the 400 or more base ball men
expected to attend have reached Toron-

For a number of years little atten-
ton was paid to the foul line. Alley
managers had placed about their eStab-
lishments legends reading, please do
not cross the foul line" but the legends
were just so much wasted paint in so
far as most of the bowlerS were con-
Cerned They seemed to think the best
place to start the delivery of ball was
at point midway between the foul line
and the drive center.
Records Jumbled.
After time, though, a few of the
tmen's leagues incorporated in the rules
iof their circuits regulation providing
for strict observance of the foul line.
They were-and still are-good leagues,
these, that first adopted the rule
leagues filled with bowlers of excep-
tional ability. Individually, the bowlers
in these leagues were consistently good
counters and the teams of the leagues
were, too. But other leagues that did
not observe the foul line were rolling
bigger counts and claiming records
right and left.
To the rescue of the foul line rule
leagues came the Washington City
Duckpin Association and the news
papers. The city organization insisted
upon observance of the foul line in its
championship tournaments held an
nually in the Spring, and the news
papers refused to recognize as records
exceptional scores not made under the
lfoul-line regulation. That brought
many more of the mems leagues into
line. and when the Washington Wom-
ems Duckpin Association adopted the
rule the woman bowlers also began to
watch their step in duckpin competi-
ton.
Today observance of the foul line is
to be found in virtually all leagues. 1T
