They met June 13. 1941, with Louis

Draft Interest Mild,
But zeIIer's Plan
Is Drawing Fire
BY JACK HAND,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, Oct. 24-Baseball's
annual draft grab bag, only eight
days of, is exciting little interest
with fans or magnates, but things
may be different in the future il
Jack zeller of the Detroit Tigers has
his way.
According to the scheme con-
cocted by the general manager Of
the Bengals, the major leagues only
manpower funnel from the minors
would be the annual draft system,
The selection system under the
Zeller plan would be widened in
scope, unlimited in numbers and
would call for higher price tags
than the current $500 ceiling.
Although the revolutionary idea has
attracted some support among the
owners it has been met with violent
reaction in many quarters because it
practically dictates the end of the
farm systems.
Accent on Age in Draft.
Nothing can be done until the
annual major league meeting, now
listed for New York, December ST,
and the minors annual conflab,
scheduled for Buffalo December 6-s,
but most baseball men doubt that
the proposal will come up for a vote
In the immediate future.

of minor league players eligible for

After two rainy Fridays in a row,

Just when the dopesters had the
interhigh football series all figured
out along comes light and mex
perienced bunch Of youngsters from
Western High to upset the APPLE
cart. Those surprising Red Raiders
yesterday walloped hitherto unde-
feated Central eleven. Is to 13, in a
Central Stadium thriller that alters
the outlook on the serious outcome
considerably.
Other loop contests went according
to the form sheet, with the Eastern
powerhouse blasting Coolidge, % to
7, on the Ramblers' grid for the
Fasteners fourth straight win, and
evenly matched Anacostia and Will
son fighting to scoreless tie on the
Indians field.
Up to yesterday, Eastern had the
series all to itself with not much
competition in sight, but today
Western is the big threat on the
horizon that's got the high-riding
Ramblers worried. Coach Fred
Mulvey's Raiders have unveiled a
secret weapon that may win the
schoolboy grid war.
Western Pass Decides.
The Western victory device is a
potent aerial offensive that clicked
for the first time to win over Gen.
tral yesterday. 1t was rifle bullet
of l5-yard pass from Buddy Hart
TO Don Lichty, new Raider back
to-end combination, that gave West
ern a 14-to-13 lead in the last few
minutes of play. And another pass,
from Hart to Sid Hamilton, marked
up the extra point.
Eastern's disadvantage in the duel
for the championship that may be
shaping up with Wetsern is that
the Ramblers have no aerial attack
to speak of. Eastern, heavy, hard
running eleven, is slugging in
fantry outfit and the expected battle
between the teams should prove
whether a lightweight air force
team can hold its own against brute
power.
Western took an early lead in yes
terday's game with Central when
Lighthouse Harry Boese took Cen
trails opening kickoff and scam
pered IS yards for the first surprise
of the day. Central added another
thrill in the same quarter when Pete
Lerario picked up a Western tumble

Central added another marker In

time
Western added two points in the
third period, when the fighting
Raider line smothered Carl Riddle
in the end zone as Riddle tried to
run back long punt. But until the
final minutes, with Central holding
a 13 to advantage, the teams bat
tied in a stalemate until the break
