DRAFT QUESTION IS
PRIMARY CAUSE OF
SPLIT IN BASEBALL
Final Alienation Occurs Over
Seasoning Of Rookie
Players
May BECOME REAL THREAT
Big Minors Suggest Matter Be
Arbitrated; Majors Turn
Down Offer
May BECOME REAL THREAT

New York, Dec. 12.-(AD-Deflnltely
alienated from the majors, the three
big minor leagues, American associ-
alton. International and Pacific Coast
circuits, hoped today to build their
organizations to the point where they
can challenge the baseball supremacy
of the National and American
leagues.
Charles H. Strub. president OF the
San Francisco club of the Pacific
Coast league, thinks the minors, in
three or four years. can so develop
their circuits as to compete on equal
terms with the two major leagues.
Minors Expected Program
The program the minors must fol-
low to achieve this is four-fold as
Strub sees it.
First, the minors must have ON
sort of court of final arbitration such
as is represented now in the persons
of Kenesaw M. Lands, high commits
sioner of baseball.
Secondly, the big minors must
adopt toward the smaller minors the
same attitude the majors have in the
past in the way of leadership and
help.
Thirdly, the big minors must see
that in order to protect their own
investments, they must offer finan-
cial and material assistance to
leagues of smaller clasSificatiOnS.
Fourth, the Minors, particularly
the class IA circuits, must build
themselves up in the next three or
four years to the point where they
can offer themselves to the public as
new major league circuits.
Have Wide Distribution
Strub pointed out the three class "A
organizations have a far wider distrt-
button than the majors, covering as
they do the country from the east
coast to the west. He believes the
big minors, by keeping their stars
instead of selling them to the majors
can develop within a few years tc
leagues of major classification, in fact
if not in name.
The majors, on the other hand
perhaps will see to 1t that certain
class A leagues are strengthened tt
IA standards and then select these
circuits for developing their players
The majors still will be able to draft
players from the smaller minors JUS
as they have in the past but the fac
remains that most major league bal
players have had to have the benefit
of class IA competition before the!
were ready for the majors.
Final Split Occurs
The wide open split between thu
two groups came over the question o
optioning out players for seasoning
and the price to be paid for athletes
selected in the draft. The major
wanted to be able to draft player
who had had four years experience
In the minors anywhere. The elias
IA minors insisted they be allowet
to hold a player three years regardless
of what previous minor league expe
rience he had had. As for the draf
price, the majors offered $500 wher
SIT, 500 had been offered at the re
cent Cleveland conference. The bil
minors declined to accept any sun
less than $4,000.
When the conference reached al
impasse, the big minors suggeste'
that the whole matter be referred II
Commissioner Lands for arbitration
and decision but the major leagu'
representatives turned down thi
offer.

Further light on the origin Of the
Al-American football team Is shed by
r.. M. Kaufman Of Washington, D. c.,
in connection with the Associated
Press series Of stories on this ancient
subject. He writes we as follows:
1.-The volume American Football
by A. M. Weyand, Army, ,.iscloses the
statement: The first All-America
team was selected by Walter Camp in
1889 for a magazine conducted by
Caspar Whitney. In 1891 the teams
appeared in Caspar Whitney's column
In Harper's Weekly and were repro
duced in the annual Guide by Walter
Camp.
I'm 1897, Mr.. Whitney being alb
sent from the country, Mr.. Camp
conducted his football section In
Harper's and selected the All-America
team. From 1893 until his death Mr..
Camps selections appeared In Golfers
Weekly
II know that later on both men
picked teams, but I firmly believe that
what Mr.. Weyand says Is true. Also
Hartford Powell Jr., In his book en-
titled Walter Camp gives the 1889
and subsequent lineups as The ALL
America teams Of Walter Camp I
have always heard and still am con-
vinced that Whitney did not antict-
pate, but followed Camp.
Il am, by the way, q Princeton man,
but I would like to see credit given
where credit is due. I may add that
when I was In college we paid bets as
to the winning Of 'All-America places
on what Mr.. Camp said: never on
what Mr.. Whitney said. That was
1901 -05. What Camp said went, even
though Whitney treated Princeton
better.
II will add that E. A. Poe, 81, of
Princeton, was the second Of SIX
brothers who made Princeton football
history. This record is not equaled at
any other college"

This column is indebted to Mr..
Kaufman for contributing authori-
tative information on the All-America
issue and its interesting background.
Golfers, which for q quarter century
sponsored Camps selections, neverthe.
less gave Whitney credit for original
ing the idea. The fact also Is that for
nearly ten years Whitney's selections
were given preference in .Spalding's
Guide, with consequent greater pres
tige. Camp edited the Guide. but it
was not until around 1900 that his
All-America became the standard by
which all others were judged. even
though they often aroused violent dis
agreement and debate.

HIGH SCHOOL TEAM
MATERIAL CLEVER
Likely to Shine in Title
Series-To Play Through
Good Schedule.
BY EDWARD A. FULLER, JR.

* far as foot ball laurels this
season are concerned Bust
~ ness High School may be all
washed up, but the boys who
wear the Orange and Blue see
brighter things looming in basket
ball. The Stenogs put a quint on
the floor last Winter that for I'M
adulterated fight was simply the
last word. Heart-breaking hard
luck logged Coach Lynn Wood
worth's boys, though. They lost
several battles by the narrowest
of margins.
Business is convinced that 1t is simply
due to get some breaks the coming sea-
son, and that if it can put formidable
five on the hardwood will have a real
chance for the championship.
Some of the basketcrs upon whom
the Stenogs will be counting started
preliminary work today but serious
practice will not begin until November
II, when members of the foot bah squad
who also play the court game Will be
available.
Talent Available.
Graduation has taken a heavy toll of
the Stenog basket ball squad, such de-
pendables as Spencer Chase, Freddy
Finley and Milt Singman having been
lost, but there are a flock of new play
ers of real ability just aching to get
chance at those vacant berths.
Little Bobby Lucas, than whom there
was no cleverer forward in schoolboy
ranks last season, Is the big" shot Of
the Orange and Blue squad. Bobby will
graduate in February. but the Stenogs
hope to have the well known flag just
about slowed in the equally well known
moth balls ere that time.
Among the aspirants who now APP
pear to have the best chance of land
ing regular jobs are Bill Duryee, who
will be groomed for center, and who. If
he shows anything like the form he dis
plays in foot ball and base ball, will do.
Then there is Vernon johnson, quar-
terback on the foot ball team, who gets
more out of his lis pounds on the grid
than seems possible. Vernon played
guard on the corking Arcadian quint of
the Boys Club last season. Basketers

PARKWAY BOWLERS
KEEP LEAGUE LEAD
Win Four Games of Double Header
in National Capital Loop.
Fountain Hams Second.

Winning four games in a double
header match held first place In the Ma
tional Capital League for Parkway Fill
ing Station from the charging Fountain
Hams. One-game margin separates the
two teams that seem destined to battle
for the championship.
With three victories chalked up over
Packwood Printing Co., the auto crew
met a stubborn opponent in Meyer
Davis. The latter ran up a total of 643
to win by SO pins. Not to be outdone,
the Pathways shot the high game of
the week to take the second, $50 to 535.
Espey and Webb accounted for the
Meyer Davis win in the last with good
counts.
Some fancy shooting by Hefelhnger,
Guerney and Newman gave Coliseum
Specials a two-game decision over
Meyer Davis.
The King Pin crew seem unable to
work up even o slow trot. They fell
easy victims to Kings Palace in two
games. Jack Wolstenholme rescued the
middle tilt with 1873 Clark, Phillips
and Cox put IN some healthy counts for
the winners.
Rinaldi Tailors grabbed two from
Judd & Detweiler when Capt Leo Ri
naldi and his crack roller, Ollie Pacini,
socked the pins consistently.

CENTRAL FAVORED
TO BEAT BUSINESS
Blue Rarely Troubled on Grid
by Stenogs to Be Met
Tomorrow.

~ENTRAL is an odds-on favorite
to down Business in the public
high championship foot ball
match tomorrow afternoon in
the Central Stadium. The Blue has
entirely too much power for the lighter
Stenogs. Play will start at 345 o'clock
Central has usually found Business
easy gridiron prey. For instance, in the
last 10 years the Stenogs have not
scored an official point against the Blue,
while the latter has been piling up 1911.
In 1927 Business gave Central a terrific
battle, the count being 1913 at the
final whistle. However, Central officially
won the game, 10, as the Stenogs used
ineligible players.
At no other time during the decade
has Business been able to cross the
Central goal. In 1926 it was beaten by
only 80 score, but for the most part
the Blues wins over the Orange have
been decisive.
This st. Johns eleven just cannot
seem to break into the win column. The
Kaydets suffered their fourth defeat in
as many starts yesterday when they
went down before La Sale Institute at
Cumberland, Md, o to 7. st. Johns
has no reason to feel ashamed over the
showing at that. Gonzaga recently was
beaten by La Salle. 80 to 0.
Until the final six minutes the wash
ingtonians fought the home eleven to
stand-off. Then La Sale put on a
sustained mixed attack which resulted
in Dehart finally plunging over for the
games lone touchdown. Dehart also
place-kicked for the extra point.

Hyattsville and Prince Georges

Hiser is synonymous with Hyattsville.
Hence all the Hisers are in Hyattsville
and Hyattsvills is populously repre-
sented in the Prince Georges County
Leagues.
There's a deal of family rival; y
among the Hisers, with Henry and
oscar furnishing most Of 1t, albeit
they're all good losers.
Henry and Oscar. who, by the way,
we're couple of well known ball players
a little while back, are collecting sticks
by the carload, with Henry leading
section ! Of the Prince Georges County
League with an average Of 1913 and 3
sticks to boot, and oscar right on his

bowls with the American Legion quint
and Oscar with the Collegiates.
Then there's Anthony Hiser of the
Arcades. Anthony has rolled in only
seven games thus far and isn't quite

to the tune of 1916. He p omises to
