MAJORS HAVE WAY
AS SURRENDER
"Bltter Warfare" Turns Out
to Be Verbal Duel Won
Without BIoodshed.

n FEW YORK, January Ii
M Base ball's battle over the
i Y universal draft IL ended
and the spoils Of war be-
long TO the major leagues.
The minor leagues defenses
slowly crumbling for several
weeks, collapsed yesterday when
the last class IA stronghold, the
international League, voted to &C.
cept the majors demands.
The International League, where
some Of the most violent anti-draf,
sentiment was manifested was forced
to yield to O superior force, its four
allies, the class AA American AsSocia-
ton and Pacific Coast League, the class
A Western League and the class 3
Three-Eye Leagu9 previously had
capitulated to the majors and left the
International 10 fight the good fight
alone.
A majority Of the leagues club owners
decided that the battle was too UNEQUAL
and what had threat ned to develop
into bitter and costly base ball war
had resolved into nothing more than
Q harmless verbal duel won by the
majors without bioodshed.
Ending Of warfare win bring about

the majors and the fve leagues hitherto
CLASSIFIED as non-drAft minors.
international Dies Hard.
Business relations between the rival
groups were severed December /, when
the American Association, Pacific Coast,
International Western and Thr.e-Fcye
Leagues declined to accept the draft
which gives the majors the right TO
select at a hxed price and at q speci-
fled time one player from any minor
league in organized base bail. The
f1ve non-drAft leagues operated under
modified draft agreement BY which
the majors could select any player who
previously had played in The majors.
Men developed solely in the minors were
exempt from the draft.

Eye Leagues were involved In the battle,
the chief warfare arrayed the majors
against the three big" minors. The
American Association was the flrSt to
give way to the majors. Then the
Pacific Coast followed suit This left
the International League with no urac-
ticable alternative but to submit as
well.
Option Limit Increased.
Chief points IN the sweeping triumph
gained BY the majors were twofoid
First, they now can draft any player
from the minors ct q set price provided
he has had four years Of experience In
minor league base ball; second. they
can send out on option to minor league
clubs 10 players instead OF 3, Is had
previously been the rule.
The draft dispute began last Sum
rlef when the majors demanded that
the I'VE non-drAft leagues accept the
draft before December /. One con-
ference ct Cleveland failed 10 bring the
diSputants any closer together nor did
peacemakers get very far ct the minor
league convention at Montreal.
Open warfare developed during the
JOINT major league meetings here In
december. After q long conference,
minor league representatives marched
out OF the meeting room and announc-
ed they were prepared to operate ABB
solutely independently of the majors this
season. One minor league club owner
even suggested that the three class IA
leagues could be built up to the point
where their standards Of play would
rival the majors and that eventually
third major league would be ORGANIC
ed from the clubs in the three big
minors.
The minors, however, were divided
among themselves, the best illustration
being the International League, where
for some time the vote was four for
accepting the draft and four against.
As time went on. first one league and
then another capitulated.

Hockey War Seen
In Cup Challenge

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, January Al. - This
~ means something like war in
the professional hockey world.
Tom Ehaughnessy, president Of the
Chicago Shamrocks OF the American
League, reports that his circuits
plan to challenge the National
League for the Stanley Cup, emblem
attic Of the worlds professional
hockey championship.
He said william r. Grant, presi-
dent of the newly organised league,
will issue the challenge early 80 as
to give the National League ample
time to complete its play-offs and
compete with the new circuit before
the Summer season sets in.
So far, relations have been
strained between the two leagues and
such q challenge, likely to be disre-
garded by the senior loop, may strain
them further.

TALES OF wAYsIDE TEE.

THERE are certain fundamentals
that all good golfers must adopt,
fundamentals where there can
be no exceptions. But the main
trouble Is that too many adopt the out
ward form Of style ana not the inward
form. They attempt to copy something
without any mental pattern to work on
What are some Of these fundamentals
which Gil must follow FOR one ex-
ample, no good golfer can operate With
out body turn or body pivot. No good
golfer can score consistently well By
leaving his left shoulder behind on the
back swing. The left side must come
around, and II It doesn't, there viii be
trouble, even II q Bobby Jones tried 70
play in this fashion. Yet It IL q fashion
which more than 70 per cent Of ali
golfers follow and then wonder why
they remain consistently bad.
One might just as well ask, "'Why Il
1t that I keep getting upset from eat
ing poisoned flsh?"
The average golfer, Of course. thinks
he is letting his body turn. He Is al
most sure Of It, or possibly quite sure
Of IL. Only he is dipping or sWayink
or doing something else that he thinks
Is q full left side, left shoulder turn.
Few golfers realize just how they swing.
A slow motion picture of their swings
would bring some startling information.
Some Other Details.
rs 1t necessary to swing from 1.-THE In
i side OUT? Not necessary, but bet
ter, much better for the average golfer.
In the first place, he must let his
left side turn on the bAckswing to be
able to swing from "the inside out"
Naturally, If he swings in this way, he
can't swing from the outside in" cut
ting across the bail, which Is precisely
what the vast majority do. They start
the clubhead back outside the line Of
flight, and 1t never gets back In the
right arc again.
What the average golfer needs Is o
clearer mental picture of the few funda-
mertals that are essential to even fair
scoring. He can get these from correct
instruction In indoor schools, and If
the chandelier Is high enough or the
piano doesn't just out too far or II
there Il no chandelier or piano to
harass one, he can take q club In his
apartment and build UP this mental
picture. He can start first by making
sure that his left hand and left arm
are the dominating factors In taking
the clubhead back.
If you watch slow motion pictures Of
Bobby Jones or Mac Smith or Tommy
Armour you will also zee how closely
the left hand and left arm stay to the
body on the back swing. You never
see any Of these, or any other good

here illustrated Is a sample. Left

earlier pivot block, is now under the

COLD MINING PROSPERS
 IN FACE 0F DEPRESSION

Gold mining is the most sub stantial industry of the United States in this period of unemploy- ment, business failures and falling stock prices. Alaska Juneau and Homestake Mining, two western gold mines, have scored advances on the New York Stock Exchange in the face of the worst stock decline in the history of that or 'ganization, says the Denver Mining Record.
 Two great low-grade gold mining dends or have paid increased divi- projects have started paying divi- dends when other great industrial organizations of the east have passed or reduced their payments. Facts like these are proof that gold mining prospers in times of depression and these are reasons for the gold mining boom that is now gaining momentum in the West.

COMMUNICATION
June 20, 1881

 Editor Gateway:
 Arthur Brisbane, the great col umnist for the Hearst papers, who makes a speciality of giving the facts about any subject on which he writes, recently published the cold facts about the purchase of Alaska from Russia. None of the much praised school or other his tory yet printed give anything but a farcial account of the trans action
 What adds interest to MT. Bris- bane's story is the fact it is the SECOND time the story has ap- peared in print. The FIRST time the true story of the purchase of Alaska by the United States to appear in print was in the Seward Daily Gateway of December 5, 1925.
 MT. Brisbane, in part, says:
 we bought Alaska, really, to have an excuse for handing some money to corrupt Russian officials, disgusting the transaction as a business affair. The Russians had valued Alaska for it's catch of sea otters, prized by nobles as lining for their coats. When the otter catch fell off, they were willing to sell and Seward was laughed at for buying"
 The Gateway story that ap- peared in the issue of December 5, 1925, was, in part, as follows:
 "A great many years ago-to be more exact, around 1867-that the great country of Russia found herself sadly in need of a pinch of change {. . The question at that time was where to raise some seven millions of dollars Kit tenish glances were cast toward Uncle Sam The United States was willing to ''loan" provided some sort of security could be put up and which would not cause the U. s. to become a laughing stock of the world Then a Russian wit suggested giving Alaska. Rus sians first viewed the wits sug- gestion as an insult to the United States, and he only missed the firing squad by inches The wits suggestion, leaking out, caused a laugh among nations that echoed around the world Rus !sia got the seven million dollars, and in addition Uncle Sam paid $2000O0 as a commission to make the loan and got-Alaska."
