Minors Demand Rights.
New York, .Ian. 15.—Sensational de
velopments ushered in the week of base
ball reconstruction work which, began
here today. The most important are:
The New York National Ifague club,
the best paying -proposition in the ma
jor leagues, was sold.
Negotiations for the purchase of St.
Tjouis Nationals reached a stage wherej
it seemed as tho the property would soon
change hands.
The major and minor leagues took
lengthy council and strengthened th<*ir
hands for the battle for and against the
elimination of the draft.
In its far reaching effect 1he contest
between the majors und minors was the!

rt and other minor
leagues magimaw voiced the same deci
sion and it %>,,■> stated that the demands
bf these «'-rpj) uizations would be drawn
up for submission to (he majors at a
meeting to be held early tomorrow.
So far as could be gathered from the
individual expressions of the big leag
—sr
uers, they are not disposed to grant the
demands of their little brothers, but are
not adverse to compromising t^'ei ques
tion. Tonight, however, the minors' slo
gan was "no compromise."
The attitude of the National league
will be discussed at a meeting tomorrow
afternoon. At least two big clubs in the
league are not satisfied with the plans
mapped out for adoption. Limitation of
clubs to IS players, restricted spring
training periods and even 140 game
schedule will be discussed and efforts
made to change the tentative arrange
ments made in these directions.
The new owners of the New York
club are said to be in favor of a more
liberal policy.
While the sale of the St. Louis Na
tionals is considered highly probable
such a deal could not be completed in
time for the new stockholders to ap
pear at the conference. Information
available tonight was to the effect that
Russell Gardner of St. Louis, in con
junction with .lames C. McGill, former
owner of the Indianapolis, Denver and
Springfield, Ohio, clubs had made what
was considered a very attractive offer
for the Cardinals.

In the midst of the baseball hubbub
the board of arbitration of the National
Association of professional leagues met
this afternoon and disposed of a number
of cases the principal one being the
awarding of Tulsa Oklahoma territory,
to the Western league with a club as
sured from either Topeka or Hutchinson
for Tulsa, while Portland and Seattle]
are said to be slated for the Pacific
("oast league again after a few technical
ities are cleaned up.
Great interest was displayed in the
change of control of tfte New York
Giants. John .!. McGraw and his new
partners. Charles A. Stoneham and
Judge Francis X. McQuade, were kept
busy ali day receiving the congratulations
of baseball magnates and fans.
It is pointed out. however, that while
McGraw is vice president of the club he
still intends to act as manager and for
that reason would be barred from sitting:
in the sessions of the magnates unless!
the rule which recently barred Fred
Mitchell of the Chicago dub from snui-1
lar conferences is changed.

TOURNAMENT HERE
v FEB RUARY 21-22
It Will Determine Teams Which
Will Go to State Meet From
District.
At the meeting of the High School
Athletic association yesterday afternoon
it was decided to hold the district bas
ket-ball tournament in the Great Falls
gymnasium on Friday and Saturday,
February 21-22.
During the past three years the cus
tom has been to invite eight of the lead
ing teams of the district to the tourna
ment here. The winning team and any
others that may be invited then enters
the state tenrnament at Bowman. Last
year three teams from this section,
which is known as the Great Falls dis
trict. went to the state tournament at
the er>d of ttfe season and competed for
state honors.
This district is an unusually large one
and extends north and west 'as far as
Shelby and Cut Bank. Other schools who
possibly may be represented at the dis
trict tournament are Cascade, Valier.
Géraldine, Fort Benton, Lewistown, Belt
and Teton county high at Choteau.
Several schools who have previously
had good teams have none this year, so
the honors will he divided among among
fewer schools. The influenza epidemic
seems to have delayed the organization
in practically all high schools, and in a
large number it was not considered
worth while to organize this year.
The local team is ready for tho sec
ond and third games of the season which
will be played at Lewistown tomorrow
night and at Billings Saturday. Tlw
boys who will^ leave tomorrow morning
with Coach M. L. Cramch- are as foUove:
