It was significant that every major lcaeun managor, with the ex ception of Tfta Speaker, of tho Cleveland club, waa een around the lobby of tho Waldrof hotel busily conferring and looking for chances to make deals that will strengthen their teams.

A rulo fixing the sum any major league players can pay for a minor league player' will bo seriously dis cussed by the National 'and Ameri can leagues today and tomorrow and when they hold their joint meet li'g Thursday It is altogethed probable they will ndopt an agree ment. Just what eort ot a limit will be agrebd upon In tha face of 876,000 deals and others nearly aa high, is difficult to forecast but men close to some of the powers that bo, are of tho opinion that If the majors make such a move, future offers for minor leaguo stars will stop at 110,000 or perhaps many thousand less. "It behoovea the big leagues to lake meamires to protect them selves if tho minors cannot see that thn draft la the very foundation ot baseball and the best thing for all concerned." ald President John Heydl6r today, "Just what the National leaguo will do In tho matter 1 cannot say, but it would not greately surprise me If the league ahould adopt a ruin limiting tho price that can be paid tor a minor league player and seek concurrence In It by tho American leaguo."

When a baseball magnate returns home tram a basennl) meeting like tho minor league pow-wow nt Bui- falo, tu say nothing of having topped off long enough to uttend the Western league gathering at Chicago, you'd na)urally expect him to be literally bursting with news. Not so, Illll Frlel, business man ager of the Tulsa Baseball club. dropped anchor In thq homo port yesterday after cruising the baan ball waters In the north for a couple of weeks. Other than tho trade bringing "Ilhlno" Williams, slugging outfielder, hero from Memphlh In ex chango. for Jimmy Hurke, nothing definite has been dono toward re building the Oilers, according to Friel. "He'veral " deal, which" " mav bring added strength to thn team aro pending, Krlel said, but they are not rar enougn niong 10 unciose. Manager Jack Lelivelt has rfono hack to his home In Chicago and Is negotiating for men to strengthen tho weak places. Karl Adams Sold to Saints. Ono player was sold by frlel In the north the only sale mado by tho Oilers this year to a leaguo ot equal or higher olasnlflcntton. You'd never guoss who was sold. Tills Is no mystery story, however, bo we'll spill It right now, "Ulg Karl" Adams was the man disposed or for ensh, nnd ho goes to St. Joseph, where ho finished up thn season this year. Komu fana may be under tuo impression that Adams waa aireaay tho property of St. Josoph. but ho was not. Thn trade of Adams for young Nick Cullop In mld-sumnvir waa only for tho balance of the 1021 season, and Cullop no reverts to St. Joseph and Minneapolis, both of which aro tho property of Ooorge Ueldcn. Several trades aro being consld ered by tho Oiler management. New blood Is to bo transfused Into the Oilers before the next campaign opens, and to this end some ot tho 'regulars of 1921 aro to be sup planted by new faces. Tlicy Can't Get lloehler. "Dut trades nro mighty hard to put over that Is If yeni try to get at least nn even break," Frlol said "Every time we suggested "trade" tho party approachod Immediately wanted lloehler. "So far oa Boehlcr goes thcro'i positively nothing doing. I'll nettle that question right now. Oeorse lloehler Is the one pltchor who ab solutely will be back on tho firing lino for tho oilers when the next opening day rolls around." Frlel expressed surprlso and pleas ure at tho reputation the young out fielder, Herschel Ilonnolt, seems to havo acquired In baseball circles through his sonsntlonal showing at Muskogee, In the Southwestern league, whoro he was farmed by Tulsa, "I had many a chance to dispose of nonnett." ho snld, "but have no Intention ot lotting him slip. He'll be given his chanco to mako good with thn Oilers next spring." St. LouW Aid Doubtful. Frlel doesn't know yet Just what Tulta may expect in tho way of as sistance from the St. Louis Drowns. It Is not oven certain now that Phil Toda will be bark agalnvln the spring, though this was thought to have been sottled last fall. Neither Is It known whether Catcher John Having will be on the Browns' regu lar muad (n 1922 or whether ho will spend another year In Tulsa or some other class A city. Second Base man Luke Stewart and Pitchers Pruett and Albanese. both south paws, woro the other Browns here. Pruott won't bo back. His "screw ball" and fast-breaking curves have earned him tha right to go south with tho Browns. Albanese may bo here and may not and Stewart Is in the same boat. While n, couple of pitchers must bn obtained to complete the staff, the Oilers havo a protty nice bunch ot inoundmen to build about already. Ocorgo lloehler, Ray Richmond and Tom Lukanovlo are thrco right handers Just about as otfectlvo as any trio on any other club In tha Western league, naugland also la for real ' Jl Zenioirmentim THERE'S no use laMae.
