It's quite dltflculC TO understand,
all right, all right. Last year, for
instance, coaches, officials and
players of the two teams were. at
loggerheads wrangling about ar
rangements, agreeing here and
disagreeing there but never com,
pletely agreeing on any subject in
regards to their game even up to
the time of final arrangements
and the first kickoff.
Officials of the two clubs met
last night. Rob Roy Mackey was
seen and heard as usual; Seymour
Hall was there, as were Patsy
Donovan and Coach Jerry Carroll
of the Apaches. Things went off
serenely. There was no loud dis
cuSSion, no fist pounding on ia
bles, no jumping up and down, no
heated arguments, etc.
Instead the business at
hand was decided in short
order and the quartet left
shaking hands and wishing
each other the best O. luck
and other words of farewell.
Something wrong with the pic
ture, somewhere. But probably
it's for the best. The Mohawk
Apache game will be a Mohawk
Apache game no matter what the
conditions, that's certain. Fans
can be sure of an afternoon of real
action even though the actual
grudges between the two teams
are apparently a thing of the past.
Now to get down to the arrange
mentS for the game. AS usual, it
will be played at Griffith'S Sta
dium, Sunday, at 2:30 o'clock.
Capt: Frank Geottge, nationally
known star of the Quantico Ma
rines, few years back, will ref
cree. C. r. Mcclure, former Rex
A. C. player and last years presi-
dent of the District Umpires AsSo-
citation, will umpire, while G.. A.
MetZler, former coach of the Cen
trail High School football team,
will act as head linesman.
Rosters of the two teams,
eligibility lists which have
been agreed upon, include 22
players for the MOhaWkS and
~ for the ApacheS.
Two names which appear on the
lists are those of players who
probably will not perform. They
include Coach Ed Abbey, of the
Mohawks, and Huck Hilleary,
backfield ace of the Apachcs.
Both are nursing injuries at pres
ent which will keep them out.
The rosters of the two teams
follow:
Apaches - Clifford, R. Boyd,

BANNOCKBURN
MAPS PLANS

Instead of tossing in the towel
as a signal of defeat, the mem
bers of the Bannockburn Golf
Club intend to fight back and
keep their club alive.
This was indicated last night
when the members voted to in
crease the yearly dues to 500
and to ask a loan Of between
$4,000 and $4,000 which would
repair damage caused by the
drought of the past summer.
This money will be used to
bring back the greens and
wasted fairways to their nor.
NAL conditions. The plans for
the remOdeling of the course,
which called for the recon
structiOn of several holes and
the leveling of some of the
hills, will be considered at
later date.
Middleton Beaman resigned as
the club president, declaring
that he could not give his fullest
attention to Bannockburn's pres
ent needs. John McInerney was
appointed to succeed him.

MAJOR He A D 6
NOT PRESENT

MONTREAL, Que, Dec. e.
With Minor League managers ana
players present from all parts OF
the United States, delegates to
the convention of the National
Association of Professional Base
ball Leagues today divided their
time between bartering among
themselves for ball players dis
cussing the draft question.
The Minor League officials
were dickering among themselves
in player deals for the reason
that the Major League magnates
had, up to this morning. failed
to show up at the convention.
The fact that the National and
American League magnates are
at loggerheadS with the minors
over the draft question may be
the explanation for the absence
of the big league officials.
At previous conventions Of
Minor Leagues, the majors
have been fully represented.
This was particularly true a
year ago at Chattanooga,
Tenn, and two years ago ut
Toronto. But so far at this
meeting of the minors the
big league owners and MAI
ayers have been cOnSpiciOuSlY
absent. Some Minor League
officials intimated that their
absence may be due to a
tacit understanding among
themselves that it would be
good policy to high hat" the
minors.
Five of the biggest of the Minor
Leagues have defied the National
and the American Leagues on the
draft question, ignoring an ulti-
matum from the majors that au-
tomatically went into effect at
midnight last night.
The defiant five "big minors"
are the American Association, the
International League, the Pacific
Coast League, the Western League
and the Three I League. The ma
jors had served notice several
months ago that unless these five
minor circuits accepted what is
known in baseball as the univer-
sal draft by midnight December 1
they would sever all business re-
lations with them.

COAST GUARD
BACK HAS
CLASS
By JOE HOLMAN

Two years ago one Of the most
powerful elevens ever mustered
by the All-Marines was uncere-
jolted by the Newport
Naval Station in Presidents cup
play here.
The Gyrenes, an odds-on favor
ite at game time, encountered
unexpected opposition generally
but were most upset by the per.
formances of two giant backs,
Edwards and Hamilton.
Time after time Edwards
plunged off gains through a
stunned Marine defense and
otherwise figured prominently
in one of the most unex-
pected upsets ever delivered
on a local gridirOn.
Saturday when the United
States Coast Guard football team
lines up against the Leathernecks
at Griffith Stadium this same
Edwards once more will confront
his arch enemies. More formid-
able than ever, if anything, he
will again endeavor to play his
part in adding laurels to his
teams already enviable record.
Tom Hamilton, Edwards run
ming mate two years ago, will be
missing on this occasion, but he
will be thanked by three powerful,
well drilled and fleet mates who
are to the Coast Guard what the
-Four Ho1semen" were to Knute
Rockne and Notre Dame.
Ensign Roland, Libby and
HeffeIfinger are the offensive
big berthas of the ball carry
ing department which is bet
ter known as the -Four
Guardsmen."
This backfield, as a unit, is
described as one Of the smoothest
working and best-balanced ar.
rangements ever to enter this
annual classic, which is being
played as a benefit for Washing.
tons unemployed.
Roland, the only officer on the
team, was outstanding at. Canisius
College, of Buffalo, before trans
ferring to the Coast Guard
Academy in New London. He is
spendid broken field runner, a
heady field general and long dis
tance punter.
Libby is a forward pass Speci'
alist an all-around asset, while
Heffelfinger is the spark plug
of the ball running machinery.
Heffelfinger was OutStand-
ing in last years game
against the Marines. Though
the Guardsmen met with de-
feat, their ace back Outkicked
the Devildogs in every ex-
change of puntS and other
wise distinguished himself.
Also his broken field running &C
counted for his eleven'S eXcep-
tionally brilliant 20-19 victory over
st. Bonaventure's this season.
The Guardsmen were trailing,
1914, with less than a minute to
go and victory apparently as
sured. AS the referee prepared to
blow his whistle Heffelfinger inter-
cepted an enemy pass, reversed his
field and sprinted across st.
Bonaventure's goal as the contest
ended.
This size-up furnishes salne idea
of the rugged offense the Marines
must stop. And stopping it. if
advance reports hold up, will be a
man-sized job at best.

Britain's Economic Problem.

The British government has decided
to set up at once an economic advisory
council under the Craftsmanship of the
prime minister. Its membership, it is
hoped, will include at least two expert
enced economists not now associated
with the government. The scope and
functions Of the new body have yet to
be revealed. But in a general way the
council is expected to come to grips
with the distressing situation which has
semi-paralyzed British industry.
The old Chamberlain theory that in
a protective tariff alone lies Britain's
hope of industrial resuscitation is again
conspicuously to the fore. Politicians
of all parties hope that a significant
test of public opinion will be made at
q forthcoming by-election in the impor-
tant industrial constituency Of Central
Nottingham. The seat will be contested
by a well known business man, George
Terrell, who fervently espouses a strong
tariff policy, including free trade within
the British Empire. He will be opposed
by. an oficial Conservative candidate
and probably by Labor and Liberal can
didates as well. As Mr.. Terrell plani

the head Of an ancient household de-
clared, Thou art my f1rst-born, my

the excellency of dignity and the ex-

conceive of a finer or nobler declara-
ton than this and yet he follows 1t
with the words of the text, Unstable as
water, thou shalt not excel" The aged
father had discovered something in his
sons nature that disclosed a funda-
mental weakness. Strong as he might
be in other gifts and qualities of mind
and heart, he lacked stability. He was
unable to overcome besetting sin. This
type Is by no means uncommon or rare.
frequently we meet men who are
