their draft. Minors from Class A
up drafted SO players yesterday
at a total cost Of $156,750.
Four Of the proposed amend
ments would make changes in
the player bonus rule-but they
are given scant chance of pas
sage. They range from a pro-
.posal to eliminate the bonus rule
entirely to a suggestion by farm
clubs of Cincinnati and Detroit
to create a first-year draft. The
latter would permit drafting OF
a high-priced bonus player after
one year-which would be toe
great a gamble for a major clut
to take. Currently, players who
receive at least $4,000 for signing
must remain with the major
league club which signed them
for two years, and are not SUBJ
lJect 10 ora1t Tor four years.
No Trades in Ofing
Another proposal, made BY
Montreal, would set up exclusive
negotiation rights. A club coulo
notify the commissioners Office
it wanted to negotiate with a Ger.
tain prospect. and no other club
could approach the prospect fol-
six. months. But this proposal
too, seemed headed for defeat.
Many of the major league
representatives attending the
minors convention still were
dickering in the trade market but
no definite deals appeared in the
immediate oiiing.
They seemed to be using this
meeting for preliminary negotia-
tons which could eliminate in
deals next week in Chicago

Bears Will Be Fighting
For Lives, Coach Says

CHICAGO, Dec. s DIVE
got humility now and we'll be
fighting for our lives Sunday"
That's what Coach Paddy
Driscoll of the Chicago Bears
told the Bear Alumni Club
yesterday in describing the need
for victory in Sundays crucial
game with the crosstown-rival
Cardinals at Wrigley Field.
The Bears, after winning seven
straight games, were tied by the
New York Giants two Sundays
ago and trounced, 1910, by the
Detroit Lions in Detroit last
Sunday.
After meeting the Cardinals.
the Bears close at Wrigley Field
December is against the Lions.
who currently hold a half-game
margin over the Bears in the
Western Division.
I'VE don't have to worry
about Detroit" Driscoll said.
1.-THE Cardinal game is the game
we have to win. or we're
through" The Lions play the
Steelers in Detroit Sunday.
Driscoll, who played with the
Cardinals as we'll as the Bears,
said the Cardinals always play
like hell against the Bears"
No Brash Statements
Il know one thing Paddy
continued. I'm not going to
make any brash statements that
they can pin up on their black
board and use to get all steamed
up for Sunday" He was refer
ring to some pre-game harangu-
ing on the condition of Comiskey
Park before last years meeting
which resulted in a 53-14 thump-
ing Of the Bears by the Cards.
The Cardinals, along with the
Washington Redskins. still nurse
feeble hopes of winning the
Eastern Division title. They
could win sectional honors by
beating the Bears and the Cleve-
land Browns while the pace
setting Giants were losing to
Cleveland and the Philadelphia
Eagles.
Besides the battle for title
survival. Sundays showdown
also will produce a head-to- head
duel between the NILS two top
ball-carriers, Ollie Matson of
the Cards and Rick Casares OF
the Bears.
Casares. shackled by the Giants
and Lions. holds a vineyard lead
over Matson in rushing, S19 to
8l8, but Ollie has the better
average 81 on l6l carries
against 4.3 on 1872 tries fol
Casares.
