ton that farm chains and player
agreements between minor and ma

ident George M. Trautman asserted
today.
He said he canvassed directors OF
his league after receiving Lands
bulletin.
There wasn't a single man who
thought the plan wasn't worthy Of
consideration" Trautman said. 1.-THE
c%oncensus seemed to be that per
haps there was some good and some
bad in the total idea and that il
might be wise to appoint a COM
mittee from the majors and minors
to sit with the commissioner to make
a thorough study of the situation
"All expressed their confidence If
Mr.. Lands personally and in whal
he is trying to do"

BasebaHLeaders Condemn Lands Suggestion


We have a bit of a bunch the Golden Gloves tourney
which opens tomorrow night is going to do more to show
SUM and auditorium than anything that has happened
in some time. Frequently we hear of the need of an as
sembly place for big conventions, but that need isn't
brought home to us because, since we don't have the as
sembly place, the larger conventions don't come here. But
when the fight fans begin to find there isn't room for
them in the high school gym to see the fastest GG tour
ney Wilmington has ever had, there is going to be some
thinking done.
For years Father J. A. Manley has told the people
here of the need for an athletic arena where the youth
of the city can keep busy during it's otherwise idle mo-
ments a place where young boys can cultivate physi-
cal fitness and coordination :. and unconsciously absorb
Finally a vote was held to determine if the city should
issue bonds to erect such a place and the majority of the
voters who visited the polls said, eyes" But there were
voters who failed to visit the polls and the supreme court
ruled their failure to vote was equivalent to their having
voted "No," and the bond issue failed to pass.

But most of all the critics seemed
to resent the "bandwagon" on which
la lot of their brethren climb after
Lands issues one of his bulletins.
PROFOUNDLY Correct"
1.-THE minute the judge speaks"
one executive said, "a great many
baseball men rush to proclaim that
whatever it may be is profoundly
correct. Lands has done an immense
service for baseball, but he is only
human, and I can't see why some
people think every time he speaks
it is the gospel.
LAS for this substitute he offers
for the farm systems, there isn't
a single practical thing in it. The
oretically it is beautiful, but 1t
would wreck baseball"
The subject was thrashed out in
the secrecy of closed meetings to-
day by the International and East
ern leagues and was certain for an
other round Tuesday when the Ma
tional league meets.
All of the magnates approached
expressed hope Lands would accede
to the request of William G. Bran
ham, president of the National os-
ISOLATION (minor leagues) that the
commissioner suspend until after
the 1910 season restrictions against
in%terIocking farm agreements.
Bramham had pointed out the code
laid down by Lands came in mid
January after many working agree
ments had been completed and On
the eve of spring training.
Unable To Open
Larry MacPhail, president Of the
Brooklyn Dodgers and a fiery fight
convinced that from 10 to Is minor
leagues will be unable to open their
seasons this spring unless Lands
modifies his stand.
II am equally confident that if
Lands has this fact put before him
comprehensively he will be more
than anxious to meet club owners
half way in order to straighten out
the present confusion"
One minor league chieftain, pre-
ferring to remain anonymous, re-
called that since 1882 the number
of minor leagues has increased
from II to AZ and that three others
were ready to start the 1910 sea-
son.
He said this meant that the num-
Der of ball players employed in or
gained leagues had increased in
this time from about $500 to more
than 1905.
AS a result of the present system
he asserted municipalities had spent
millions of dollars to provide ball
parks, attendance had mushroomed
to it's highest point in history and
the players, whom Lands is seeking
to protect, have reaped the bene-
fits.
While the Lands issue was a mat
ter of serious attention for the
league sessions, it was due for a
lampooning in the writer's show at
tomorrow nights banquet. Nearly
a thousand guests, many Of them
baseball headliners from all parts Of
the country, were expected.
An award for meritorious service
to the sport over a long period of
years was to be given to Ed Barrow,
president of the New York Yankees,
and another was planned for Bucky
Walters, Cincinnati pitcher, whom
the writer's named the outstanding
player of the year..
Herbert Hoover, Senator Gerald
Nye, James A. Farley, Hugh John
son and other prominent personages
were listed as speakers.

Father Manley is still talking of
the arena he hopes someday to see
built. He is still working with boys
throughout the city. Right now he
is working with them along the
lines of GG. . getting them ready
for the gong, for the keen compe-
tition they are going to meet here.
and if they are successful, for
the keener competition they are
going to meet in Atlanta. A few
months ago he was working with
them on the gridiron.
Because he works with boys, be-
cause he gets around the city as
only one other minister to our
knowledge gets around to see just
what is happening, he knows of
the need here for an athletic arena.
Fight fans are going to want it
this week because they are going
to find it hard to get seats in the
high school gymnasium to watch
the cream of the crop of North
Carolina fighters match wits and
strength in the Golden ring.
Father Marley wants it because
he knows the youth of the city
needs such a place.

(and Whiteville has some excellent
fighters, if you ask this corner)
have better equipment with which
to work than do those here in
