MINORS AFTER
EQUAL RIGHTS
IN ALL ACTION
Protest Against Pact Pro
visions Expected to Come
Out at Next Joint Meeting.
SOME ARE SATISFIED
By JACK VEIOCK.
International News Sports Editor.
NEW YORK. Dec. 28. Sentiment
against several provisions in the pro
posed new national major-minor lea ;ue
agreement is growing among the minors
and will be strongly voiced at the next
Joint meeting in Chicago Jan. 12, it de
veloped today.
The minors agreed to act jointly with
the majors In reconstructing the govern
ment of the game, it Is pointed out. with
the understanding that they were to have
an equa’ voice in all future councils In.
which they might have any Interest, and
they will Insist on this right.
While the text of the proposed agree
ment has not been made public, it Is
apparent that, although sitno of the
minor leagues may be satisfied with the
pact, this sentiment Is not unanimous.
MAINKB STATES
FEW OBJECTIONS.
In a circular sent out by George H.
Maine*, president of the Michigan-On
taTlo League, and a member of the minor
league committee, sentiment as expressed
by the objecting faction Is set forth In
a lengthy statement embodying the fol
lowing principal points:
An important clause In any major
minor pact should provide for the settle
ment of disputes between leagues, clubs
or Individuals of the parties to the agree
ment.
That it should provide for making
rules, regulations or amendments of mu
tual interest to both parties.
That it should officially recognize
Judge K. M. Ijtndls as the commissioner
of organized baseball, empowering him
to act for majors and minors alike.
That It should provide for some voice
for the 'minors except where "action di
rectly - fleeting a minor league club is
to be taken."
And that the minors should have a
voice on any advisory council which is
ft rmed.
OBJECTS TO
DRAFT DEAL.
The circular also voices objection to
the manner in which the proposed agree
ment treats settlement of the draft ques
tion. As some of the minors see it. one
section of the tentative part could be
used as a settlement of the draft ques
tion by the commissioner and a leage
made to accept the terms decided upon
by him.
The suggestions embodied in the cir
cular are not antagonistic. They are \
meant to be constructive and to strength- j
en the position of the minors.

PAX WITH THE SMILE WINS.
NEW YORK, Dec. 28.
■ barley Harvey was in the other day
niking about Europe and the fighters
ver there. Charley had quite a laugh
or the result of the Moran-Beokett bout,
■:u iiad good dope to figure on.
•‘This fellow ISeckett is built much after
-he fashion of Jack Dillon." piped
• 'barley, iwirll?ig his stubby mustache,
lies a good hKter und a good boxer. I
i'.v him work out five or six times, and
ir.'t figure him in the dub cl.is* at all.
"Now that Moran has stopped him In
•wo rounds I've changed my figuring a
bit.
"it web nothing bnt that Moran smile
*hr,t I>. at Jtevkett. You know, when you
tit a fellow with everything you have and
lie stands there smiling at you. It takes
ife-.ot o? heart out *f you.
•That smile on Moran's pan killed
Beckett, 1 can see .Toe now socking
"rands right on the button and stepping
back expecting him to fall. When Il
ium pet 1 Moran with that smile inviting
more, it sort of sickened him. '! tut t
Mor in s big asset—that smile He smiled
- Beckett lambasted him in the first
round and in the second when Joe was
probably up in the air, leaned one on
his chin and settled the thing.
"in England, when a heavy gets
snipped hard on the kls-er he usually
seess the rosin. Moran didn't. He
smiled."
IS HE BIGGEST LIAR?
' Hi" Iu?o Malone, the lanky center of
the Brooklyn basket-ball team, won th
in. rs hair porous plaster when he told
this one:
“There was a fire on the waterfront,"
drawled Leo. “and a big warehouse full
of rubber was swept by the flames. Th
rubber melted and flowed Into the street.
Suddenly the crowd saw a uiau appear
on the roof of the blazing warehouse.
No one could get near him. so he jumiH*<l
Every one turned away to avoid seeing
the poor devil dash out his brains.
“Well," continued "HI.” “do you know,
that guy landed on the rubber In the
street and he bounced and he bounced.
Why, say. that bird bounced for three
days and three nights and they shot him
so he wouldn’t starve to death."
HARRY BOOSTS JACK.
"Hurrying Harry” Hershfleld, the papa
of Abie the Agent, blew Into my Joint
here to slip me an earful about the
Dempsey fight.
“No matter what the sport experts
say,” piped "Hurrying Harry,” throwing
away a half-smoked stogie, “he's still n
champion to my way of thinking After
the Willard fight, the experts said he
couldn’t go over four rounds. They In
sisted that Dempsey was a short dis
tance fighter and bad to win early or fall
down later from exhaustion.
"Th~ other night he fought Brennan,
who outweighed him a bunch. He fought
him e’ ery second of the way. took quite
a mauling himself and won with a K. O.
in the twelfth round
“He went the route and won with two
punches. He's champion. He k-pt try
ing for the body all through the fl -fat
and finally got to the target. What more
do you want? Did he slow up? No.
Did he show signs of stopping when he
was h t No. Can he go the route and
still punch? Yes! That's my idea of
a champion."
VISITING PI GS DO WELL.
Eugene Criqui. the French feather
weight who landed In Australia only re
cently, is a hot favorite there now. His
last fight was with Jack Green, a native,
and lasted four rounds. Criqui flattened
his innn in easy fashion. It was the first
time that Gre*n had ever been knocked
out.
Francis Charles, another Frenchman,
cave Harry Stone a fearful pasting in'
their fight, winning handily.
Charles then got gay and took on Billy
Shade. He bit off more than he c.uilil
•hew in that match, for Shade stopped
the Frenchman after handing him quite
a pasting.
Shade is now matched for a return bout
with Tommy Uren. He is the most pop
ular outsider who ever visited Australia.

Merchants Bolster
Line-up for Clash
With Normal Quint
Locals Have Chicago Star and
Bacon to Help in To
night’s Game.
Reports have it that all who have seen
Indians State Normal In action on the
hardwood state that Normal has one of
the best teams it has had In years.
Normal has been the only team In the
state able to hand the Vincennes “Y"' the
short end of the score and only last
night Wabash fell before the "Y ’ team
bv a six-point margin. Therefore it
looks like one of th*-e last ditch battles
again tonight for the Merchants at the
Y. M. C A
In view of the fact that Normal ap
pears so strong and the Merchants will
be without the services of Btonebreaker,
they hate looked in other directions to
strengthen their lineup. Johnson, of Chi
cago, has been signed to take his place
and in view of the fact that Johnson Is
supposedly one of the best forwards In
the West he will fill the position with
out the last bit of trouble He held
down a forward position with the Illi
nois Athletic Club when they won the
A. A. I'. championship, and was n mem
ber of the famous Great Lakes team
Since then he has played with the Wait
ing Owls .ind the Fort Wayne K of C„
and ba organized the Big Five Pro team
at Chicago.
Bacon will be at his regular position at
floor guard tonight, and along with Stev
ens will make a hard life for any for
ward. H. Stevens will he :-een at the
other forward and Taylor has been
switched to center. The game appears
on paper to have all the marks for a
thriller ar.d everyone should come ex
pecting to see a hair raiser.

The mooted question of the heavy

title affair and was himself beaten by
"strangler" Lewis in New Y’ork the night
of December 13.

lect circle by beating Felton for the
championship.
By Resolute's victory over Shamrock

MIDDLE CHAMP
STAYS QUIET
NEW YOB A, Dec. 28.—With three com
i anions passing over the stage In action
at the Garden —Dempsey, Leonard und
Herman —it appears to be about time for
Johnny Wilson to speak hi* piece. John
ny !s the owner of the middleweight title
through the kindness of a friendly deci
sion. He wrested the crown from Mlxo
O'Dowd through a lueky streak of for
tune in Boston .Since that epoch In
Wilson’s career he's ke.pt away from
.best* diggings In fact. John has done
llitle quarreling: his last efforts reunit
ed In his being pasted freely by a George
KoMnson.
When Wilson was given ©'Dowd's silk
hat he premised the latter a chance for
his old title. Mike has awaited the
chance, but up to press time Wilson
hasn’t paid the slightest attention to
• •'Dowd’s plejs. There was a big offer
dangling before Wilson to fight O'Dowd
In a tit!.* event. Wilson declined on the
ground he wasn't in good physical shape
Now Ms value as a drawing card bn* de
creased to a terrible extent and the best
offer be could get would be on a per
centage basis.
As long as O'Dow.l had not heard
from Wilson he’s beginning to get heart
and ser.d out alight claims on the crown.
If Wilson doesn't defend it soon t ere
isn’t the least doubt that he will h<* de
throned and O'Dowd's claim recognized.
The manner in which Wilson wu the
title from O'Dowd will help Michael lu
claiming his former diadem.
HTOEI’F FLOPS ZOLL.
OSHKOSH, Wls., Dec. 2*. In a fast
match before a large audience, Henry
StoeiT of this city, mi I lie weight wrestler,
successfully defended his laurels against
Martin Zoll of Green Bay here. The first
fall went to Stoeff by a double toe bold.
Zoll got the second fail with a scissors
and liammerlock. In the third fall Stoeff
won after fine minutes by a scissors and
double wrist lock.
VET WELSH AGAIN.
NEWARK, N. J.. Dec, 28. Freddie
Welsh former lightweight ch-mplon. will
make his first appearance here tonight 111
the ring slt.ee 1*- lost his title to Benny
Leonard. He Is billed for twelve rounds
with Willie G.ecn.
NEW YORK. Dec. 28—Roy Moore of
St. Paul has been substituted for Pal
Moore against Jack Sharkey at Mudlaon
Square Garden Wednesday night. The
Memphis Moore was forced to cancej his
engagement because of an operation on
one of Ills ears.

Wabash Basketeers Lose
to Vincennes ‘Y’ Five
in Thrilling Struggle
VINCENNES, Ind., Dec. 28.—Baffling
their opponents In the early moments of
play with a brilliant dash of speed and
some remarkable goal shooting, the Vltt
cennes Y. M. C. A. basket athletes regis
tered a 81 to 25 victory over Coach Pete
Vaughan s strong Wabash College quin
tette here last night. It was Wabash’s
first defeat.
Both teams were in splendid condition
and played remarkable basket-ball
throughout the contest, keeping the large
crowd In an uproar from the first to the
last minute of play. After Vincennes had
gained a whirlwind start and appeared
on the road to an easy win, the Scarlet
athletes rallied and fought like fury to
capture the first half lead, but were one
pi hit shy of the Vincennes dozen total
when the rest period arrived.
The second naif was almost an exact
re etitioii cf the first, with the exception
the the locals boosted their lead five
points late in the session.
G. Ki.xmiUer and M-Clure led the scor
ing for Vincennes, getting six and three
baskets, respectively, while Goldsberry
and Adams carried the brunt of the Wa

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1920.
SPORT EDI IORIAL
WHENEVER Ty Cobb's advent as a big league manager is discussed
some gentleman in the party usually chimes in with the thought that
Cobb can not ej.pect to hold a team to discipline when he never has yielded
to discipline himself. But these birds are shooting wide of the mark.
They point out that Cobb reported late for spring training and ignored
other club rules. These rules are designed for the good of the players
who do not study, judge for themselves or consider seriously their own
good. No one ever has accused Ty Cobb of injuring his playing ability
or lessening his greatness as a super-star through “breaking rules."
Cobb studied his own makeup and physical needs as thoroughly as he
studied pitchers and batters and baserunners. That he schooled himself
to be the brainiest, greatest player in the game proves that he managed
himself successfully.
When Ty knows that the responsibility for the success of a ball club
rests on his shoulders alone he’ll study that ball club —the players on it —
with the same thoroughness. If he enters his managerial career with the
same spirit he entered the playing end the gang is sure to hear from Tyrus
Raymond Cobb, alias the Georgia peach.

begin practicing for the game scheduled
for Jan 11 with the. Vincennes Y. M. C. A.
Coach Buss plans to hold practice every
day this week.
Tiger bnsketeers bad planned to spend
the entire vacation at home, hut an early
return was made necessary by the sched
uling of an extra game with the Vln
neeces "Y" shortly after the squad left.
The game will be played at Vincennes.
Another reason for the early return
Is to enable Coach Buss to pick n man
from the squad to fill the place of "Tiny'’

c'eiicy In studies, Hlrt recently was de
clared Ineligible to play for the re
mainder of the season by Dr. W. M.
Blanchard, secretary of the faculty, and
Coach Blit, B. This Is a serious problem,
as there doesn’t seem to be any back

excellent showing at his position.
Following the “Y” contest, the Indiana
