BASEBALL MOVES

Joint Meeting Of Major Leagues
 to Be Held Next Week

Montreal. Dec. (P) - Minor league baseball clans today were headed toward New York and the joint meeting Of the National and American leagues.
 Some of them hoped 10 dispose of ball players they could not sell at the 29th annual convention of tho National Association of Profcs- sional Baseball Leagues. Others were directly interested in settle mcnt of the troublesome draft question and hoped that solution could bc found at New York dur ing the major league meetings
 l. was understood that an infor- mal conference between the ma jors and the minors would be held Mon day at New York on the draft ques lion. The three non-draft class A International and Pacific Coast leagues, already have appointed a standing committee of ninC cmpow- cred 70 act for them should the ma jors cvince q desire for further nc gotiations. The other classifications, A. E, C. and D leagues. also were understood to have named repro sentatives and ell were expected to be in New York next week.
 Just who would represent the majors could not be learned. In fact. there was no definite assurance that any formal invitation to a con- ference had been issued. l. appear ed rather that major league club owners here 10 attend the National association sessions merely had in 1icated that d war between the ma lors and the non draft minors was not to be desired, especially at this time, and that q further conference between the opposing groups might develop a compromise.
 That settlement was near was the conscnsus among the minor league officials The non-draft leagues apparently arc ready 10 ac- ccpt the universal draft provided the draft price is fixed at around S15,0oo, provided that the minors arc permitted to retain q player for two or three years before he be. comes eligible for :hc draft and provided that the majors agree 10 a bandon their policy of signing players from the colleges and tn" sand lots, the two sources from which the small minors used 10 be able to pick up their playing talent at q roasonab ble price.
 Ii is the high prices that must be paid for such players now that has caused the minors financial t~ou- bles in the opinion of some club owners.
 There was no real hope that the minors would be able 10 gain ali the points in their program, but t vas thought it would 1rm ihe basis upon which a compromisc could be effected.

 Sloman and McElwain will occupy the forward bcrths for New Britain. Sloman has become a New Britain institution as far as basketball fans here are concerned while McElUain, during a short stay here last year. was rated as one of the clcverest floor workers this city had seen in some time.
 Hoist, the center. is q local pro- duet who has performed with var ious teams about the state. He s a star on the P. X, F. Corbin Indus trial loaguc team and was with Mid dlctown in the state league 3 few years ago.
 Arburr and Miske, the two guards. will pair up for the first time Ar burr's ability is too well known to need much mention. Miske is a product Of Waterbury and starred on the Mlddlebury college team.
