Adjustment of Universal Draft Expected to Wind Up Important Week of Baseball To-dad
Team Rosters
To Be liniited
To Forty Men
Advisory Council Also Make
Waiver Rule and Optional
Agreement Corrections
By Ja*:?: Lawrence
Th?s rift bet-ween major and minor
leagues on the draft question is not
irreparable and may be satisfactorily
bridged as a result of recommendations
which are expected to be made at to?
day's meteing of the advisory council
?t the Hotel Commodore. A meeting
?f that body was held yesterday, and
there -eras some lively skirmishing
around the matter of the draft, but no
definite action was taken. The session
to-day will be the last and marks the
end of a highly important week for
baseball.
Another matter which will be taken
up by the council to-day is that of
the barnstorming rule which Babe
Ruth. Bob Meusel and BUI Piercy. oi
the Yankees, violated immediately
after the last world's series, and there?
by forfeited their world's series money
and drew from Commissioner Lundis
suspensions which will keep them out
of the game until May 20.
There is a strong feeling amonu
baseball men that this rnle, which pro?
hibits players on contending world's
.?erics teams from engaging in barn?
storming tours, is unfair to these play?
ers and should be abrogated. Tin
subject has been argued back and forth
throughout tho week at both National
and American League meetings, and i'
was _-enerally considered that it would
be a subject o? discussion at tho joinl
session.
Barnstormers' Case
Judge Landis has not expressed him?
self officially as to whether he con?
siders tho rule just or unjust, but thost
close to him aro of the opinion that
he will do this to-day. Those oppos?e
to the rule base their case on the faci
that while other stars of the game
such as Hornsby, Cobb and others, an
permitted to make huge sums by play?
ing games outside of the regular sea?
son, the members of the two cham?
pionship teams are barred from doing
bo. The opinion was expressed at the
Commodore yesterday that the ru!?
would be either abrogated or s<
broadened in scope as to take in &?
the players on all the clubs in botr
leagues.
At its meeting yesterday, which wat
presided over by Commissioner Landis
the advisory council took steps tc
eliminate some of the evils, all?g?e
and otherwise, which have been re
sponsible for many complaints anc
much criticism during the last year
Tho council consists of Commissions
Landis, John Heydler, president of the
National League; Ban Johnson, high
moKul of the American League; Michael
Sex con, head of the National Associa?
tion, and John II. Farrell, secretar*,
of that body.
The advisory council's meeting was
followed by a short joint session ir
the breakfast room, the magnates o.
the two big leagues being apparently
more anxious to adjourn than to trans
riel, hn^?tipsk.
Player List Limit
One of tho few things accomplished
by baseball's dictators yesterday was
the adoption of a regulation providing
that no club may claim a player if
that club already has forty men on its
roster. In the past it has been the
custom of the clubs with forty men
on their lists to claim a man by
waiver and then make room for him
by dispensing with one of its players.
This system was declared unlawful and
it;-- abolishment recommended fester
day. An attempt was made to raise
the roster limit to forty-five player?,
but this, was defeated.
The advisory council also declared in
favor of a iule which provides that a
club asking waivers on a player can
withdraw this request within a period
of five days, while a club claiming a
player is permitted to withdraw its
claim within the same period of time.
It wa3 decided that when more than
one club puts in a claim for a player
he shall be awarded to the club with
the lowest standing in the percentage
column.
It was decided that major league
teams are to be allowed fifteen men on
optional agreement hereafter, instead
of eight, the number that has prevailed
until now. Another new ruling was
that if waivers are asked on a player
who vas originally received over the
waiver route tho club from which ho
came shall have a period prior to the
regular season of thirty days during
? wiiich it will enjoy the privilege of
priority in case it cares to reclaim the
man. The same priority will hold good
?taring a period of ninety days after
the close of the season.
The council ruled that a player who
has voluntarily retired from the game
nay return by making proper applica?
tion to the club from which he with?
drew. The application will then be
placed by the club before the commis?
sioner of baseball.
Tho scout question came ' for some
lively discussion and a rule was finally
adopted prohibiting umpires from en?
gaging in this phase of the game. In
addition to this it was ruled that scouts
cannot operate for more than one club.
Suggest Draft Price
As a prelude to to-day'a discussion of
I the draft it was announced at yester?
day's meeting that it was the sense of
the minor league members of the ad
visory council that a draft price of
$7,500 be fixed for players in the Class
AA leagues, half of which sum would
be returned in case the player involved
was sent back.
The Board of Estimate, in session
yesterday at City Hall, ordered that
K&st 169th Street and also Cromwell
Avenue bo closed ponding the construc?
tion of the Yankees' new baseball
-?tadium. Colonel Huston, who has this
hug? undertaking in charge, said yes?
terday that he could not tell how soon
??-round would be broken for the begin?
ning of the work, but intimated that it
would be soon.
Rumors of big and little trades con
vinued to circulate through the corri?
dors of the Commodore yesterday, but
none reached the point of materializ?
ing. The most important transaction
discussed was one which involves the
Yankees, the Boston Bed Sox and the
Detroit Tigers. This deal, if it goes
??rough, will probably transcend any
?hat baa occurred this year in point, of
mportancc and the number of players
:o be transferred.
While baseball's executives will profc
?Jjly finish up their official business
with today's meeting of the advisory
?owi.tctl many major and minor league
?sufjates will remain in town through
f?*ut next week in the; hope of accom?
plishing some Christmas shopping in
the way of desirable ballplayers. Ty
Cobb, manager of the Tigers, seemed
'?o be the pivot about which most of

One Week in N. Y.9
Has Yet to See Town
A BUFFALO baseball scribe, sent
here to cover the league meet?
ings at the Hotel Commodore, re?
turned to his home town last nffcht
admitting that during the entire
week he had not been outdoors and
had seen nothing of the city. He
lived at the Hotel Pennsylvania and
mude the daily trip between that
hostelry and the Commodore in the
subway, using the Forty-second
Street shuttle to get across town.
It is possible to get into the sub?
way from both hotels without going
outdoors). On Wednesday this scribe
called on a friend in the Equitable
Building, 12i> Broadway, but this
trip, like the daily jaunt to and
from the Pennsylvania, was made
without going into the street.
Asked last night what he thought
of New York, the baseball writer
replied:
"i dunno; I didn't see it."

To All Defending Champ sons
(Including Tilden, Dempsey, Mrs. Mallory, Ruth and Jay Gould.)
Unbowed guards of tfie topmost height,
Clinging still to the narrow wall,
Up where the toild gales hold their flight,
Up where the screaming eagles call,
Under only the stars and sun,
Over the fogs and frost and spray,
Once again has tlie race been run,
Once again have you shown the way.
Even the -mighty Hoppe fell,
Borne at last by the doivnvjard stream,
Ruling king for an endless spell,
Rudely wrenched from a golden dreamt;
Chick passed out in the Western tarns,
Swept aside by the Guilford stroke,
Ted Ray left in the wake of Barnes,
Even the mighty Stecher broke.
But you still sit where a, span ago,
Holding your thrones through the dying year,
You looked on the puny crowd below,
Held at bay by your shield and spear.
The laurel bom in the morning sun
Fades at dusk in the bitter game
But you have stuck to the sunset gun,
Sentinel guards at the Gate of Fa-ms.
One more cup to your skill and might,
Where The Eagle waits on the topmost height.
Who Can Blame Her?
We not? that Great Britain is already arranging for a 1922 counter
charge in the hope of retaking certain coveted sectors that pa&sed from
her control.
The average Briton rarely cares to stand pat in defeat. He can
f.tand the shock that fell upon him from our Davis Cup and polo victories.
But it is something else to recall that his tennis crown is still being worn
on this side of the water by Bill Tilden and that his main golf scepter is
still as far away as Cook County, 111. Willie Hunter and Miss Leiten
alone prevented a landslide. Even with these two checking certain at?
tacks, the net result was the roughest international year in British history.
England is quite likely to get her golf crown back. But the tennis
and polo barriers remain as high as ever.
For a Better Game
"How would you advise me," writes one of the bitten, "concerning
the best way to start the now year off improving my golf game? There
must be certain important things to take up that will help a lot by spring."
Our advice would be to start out by going to one of the best of the winter
indoor instructors and have him show you the correct manner of knee
and shoulder pivot and the development of balance at the top of the swing.
Have him explain in addition the distribution of weight upon both
feet at the top of the swing?
The straight left arm and the right elbow adjacent to the body?
With this aa a foundation you should soon be well upon your way, ?
provided you can fine time to practice the proper habit begun by your
instructor.
Few men can hit from a faulty balance, whether it be golf, tennis j
or baseball.
And the average balance in golf is about 82 per cent faulty when :
the top of the swing is reached.
After looking over most of the football (schedules for 1922, we can I
barely restrain the desire to hurdle Doc Time and land in the middle of
next October. The menu through each section Is the most interesting we
have ever seen, a big advance over anything shown within our football ;
memory. Now is the time to start paging your tickets.
The 111 Wind, Etc.
7 do not care for gales that sweep
Where sleet is thick and sneno is deep.
Yet when they do I will not stand
In some deep bunker digging sand.
As we understand it, the two main battles of 1922 will be Carpentier- |
Gibbons and Dempsey-Willard. Willard may prove to be no fitting match '
for Dempsey, but it's either Willard or the quietest year a champion ever i
spent. After all, a cove must piy his profession and there is no law com- j
pelling public attendance.
"Is football brutal?" asks an exchange. Not in the slightest, outside!

Tro" Golfers Will Qualify
In Sections for Title Meets
AsHociatiori Goes ??ack to O?d Order of Things at
Annual Meeting Here; Will Ask Great Britain to
Hold Open Tourney a Month Earlier Hereafter
Going back to the old order of things, the executive committee of the
Professional Golfers' Association decided to hereafter qualify in sections
?or their championship tournament, .is was the^case up to 1920. This,
among oilier things, came about as the result of a two-day session at the
P. G. A. headquarters in thi3 city yesterday. Last year at Inwood the
plan was to take the first thirty-one in the national open championships
and the outstanding champion, but that did not meet with approval.
He* reu ('te r there will he sixty-four to<?
. ftn:\lify in sections, according to mem?
bership, and because of the extra num
summer in order to give those who
first two rounds at eighteen holes.
After that matches will consist o?'
thirty-six holes.
The secretary was asked to com?
municate with the Professional Golf
??!???' Association of Great Britain, ask?
ing tho latter if it would he possible
in the futur?; to have the elates for the
British open a month earlier,,so as to
ailow the United States tournament
(o be held in late July, when courses
here are at their best. Under existing
conditions the national open in this
country is generally held in mid?
summer in order to give tho;tc who
competo abroad a chance to return.
The rearrangement of sections took
; the committee rjuite some time*, the
final decision being to divide the map
? into twenty-four sections, as follows:
New England, metropolitan, northwest?
ern New York, eastern Pennsylvania,
including Delaware, Maryland and Vir?
ginia; western Pennsylvania, combined
with West Virginia, Ohio, Michigan,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois,
Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee;
Kansas, combined with Nebraska and
Oklahoma; Wyoming, including Colo
mdo and Utah; Texas, including New
Mexico and Arizona; Georgia, including
South Carolina and North Carolina;
Louisiana, including Alabama and
Mississippi; Missouri, Arkansas, nortn
Pacific, Montana, including North and
? South Dakota, northern and southern
: California.
Among those present at the execu?
tive session yesterday were George
Sargent, the president, of Ohio;
? George McLean, of Grassy Sprain; Wil
i lie Ogg, of Worcester; Jack Ilobens, of
! Huntingdon Valley, Jack Mackie, of
! Inwood; Fred Brand, of Allegheny, and
I W. 11. Way, of Cleveland. Nothing
: definite was decided on in the way of
', ?i course selection for the P. G. A.
meeting.

CLOTHIERS HABERDASHERS ? HATTERS
? mighty poor overcoat can keep
a man warm.
But that isn't enough.
If an overcoat fits right, if it is
cut right, if it is soundly made of
good Irish and Scotch fabrics, if it
gives you a sense of satisfaction the
minute your eye falls on it?then
you have something real in an
overcoat.
Our Londiscot is just such a
coat. Called Londiscot because the
fabrics from Ireland and Scotland
are made up in London to better
standards of workmanship than
prevail in most English coats.
