MINOR LEAGUES
 MAY NAME GAR
Commissioner May Be Aftermath
 Of Baseball Feud

Los Angeles. Dec.1 UP) - A "czar" of the minor leagues to rule over the three Class A circuits loomed today as a possible after math of the recent feud between the majors and the minors.
 Dr. Charles H. Strub. president of the San Francisco club. is one of the leading advocates for a com- missioner to guide the Pacific Coast league, American Association and International league much after the capacity that Judge K. NJ. Landis has served organized baseball since the Black Sox" scandal of 1919.
 Minor league baseball men gener- ally agree that they will have to band together more closely than ever if they are to survive any kind of a fight with the majors.
 J. NJ. Patrick. president of the Los Angeles club, is one who be- lieves that it is suicde for the minors to engage in war with the majors.
 we need the majors more than they need us," said Patrick. With out the draft the three big minors cannot hope to maintain their high standard Of play"
 Dr. Strub takes the opposite view that the three Class A leagues can develop and retain their players and in time rival the major leagues in playing strength.
 Among those mentioned as con- missioner for the three big minors is William NJ. Mccarthy, former president of the Pacific Coast league.
 William Wrigley, Jr.. owner of the Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Angels, regrets the whole controver- sy between the majors and minors.
 Baseball is too wholesome to be kicked around by these kind of ar guments. There's entirely too much politics in baseball anyway, especial ly the Coast league"
 Despite the breach between the majors and minors. Wrigley says that he will not allow it to prevent him from completing the deal whereby Los Angeles will receive HlHe payers TOT pllCNer Ed BaeCnt, bought by the Cubs.
 I'm willing to abide by any ruling made by the majority" commented Wrigley, but draft or no draft, I intend to complete the deal for Baecht."
 In connection with the split be- tween the majors and minors the question comes up as to whether they will play exhibition games against each other if their differ ences are not settled.
 The three clubs training on the west coast, the Cubs, Pirates and Tigers, all have a number of games scheduled with Pacific Coast league clubs.

Most everyone who has taken les sons from more than one teache: will admit that, IL the pictures resul. in a better understanding Of the complex movements involved in the driving swing, something desirable will be accomplished.

No two professionals teach with the same technique nor do they agree on many Of the fine points Of the swing. They may be experts in the execution Of the shots but their explanations Of the methods to achieve the results differ so widely that it is not surprising if their pu- pills sometimes wonder whether the teachers understand what they are talking about.

He would be tickled pink to see the films, but we doubt if one out of a hundred fair players would spend one-tenth of the time required in practice to groove himself in one item, like the pivot. to say nothing of doing the drudgery necessary to perfect himself in the complete swing and stroke.
 Bobby Jones is endowed with q body built for golf, but it took years Of practice before he became the perfect golfer. Even the pros will rot pay the price that Jones paid to reach the highest pinnacle of the royal and ancient game.
