Pass Resolution That Leagues
Can Only Accept Eight
Players Under
Option.
It.v THOMAS L. CUMMI8KEY,
1'niv-rnill Scrvlrr Sports Corrropomlrnt.
ARTFORD, Conn., Dec.
3.—A resolution that
the minor leagues can
only accept eight play
ers under option from
any major league club
and the appointment
of a committee to look
Into charges by Ban
Johnson, president of the American
league, that gambling exists In (he
Pacific Coast league, were the main
developments of today’s meeting of
the National Association of Profes
sional Baseball leagues.
The resolution adopted states A at
after each major league club has sent
out eight optional players Secretary
J. H. Farrell, of the National associa
tion, must notify all minor leagues
that the limit has been reached and
that any club taking a ninth player
ar more under option forfeits all
tames in which such a player or
players take pert.
This, In short, is Insistence by
the minors that the majors option
al limit Is eight and not 15, as the
big loops claim. A couple of years
ago at the Louisville minor leagues
annual meeting, the National asso
ciation refused to vote on a pro
posal of the majors to increase the
limit to 15. Judge Landis, high
commissioner of baseball, ruled that
in so doing the minors waived their
rights in the matter. The majors
went ahead with farming out as
high as 15 players.
The minor league magnates in
passing this resolution virtually
ignored a proposal framed by the
New York American League club
that each major league team bs
allowed to Increase the number of
players it may carry in tlje off-sea
son from 40 to 50 and farm out as
high as 25 players during this pe
riod, between June 15 and August
15.
This wag apparently considered
just something to read, and not as a
proposal needing definite action, In
asmuch as the majors as a whole had
not passed on it. It would now be
necessary for the national association
to do a complete about-face on their
resolution to entertain the suggestion.
XVhat the mbjors will do now In a
retaliatory w-ay, if anything, remains
to be seen, but It Is unlitoly they will
sit back and do nothing at the Im
pending joint meeting of the National
and American leagues.
A committee was appointed to see
If Ban Johnson’s charges of gambling
being rife in the Pacific Coast league
had any basis.
In line with a movement to econo
mize. the minor moguls voted to
abolish with the 2 per cent levy when
players are sold. Inasmuch as the na
tional association treasury Is well off.
Suggestions to set player salary
limits according to the classifications
cf the various 2S minor leagues was
discussed, but action deferred until
tomorrow.
I,o* Angeles was chosen as the
place for the annual meeting next
year. It will be held at C’atnllna Is
land, owned by William Wrigley, the
owner of the Chicago Cubs and the
l.os Angeles club. It was the senti
ment of the meeting that Asheville,
X. C\, receive it in I92G.
The usual wild trade and sales
rumor* were buzzing in the hotel
lobby where the market hold* forth.
It was- ascertained that Sumpter
( lark. Cleveland outfielder, was sold
to Minneapolis. He did well with
Cleveland until he was injured lust
season, and is said to have brought
s nice price. Tlie Pittsburgh Pirates
sold “Chick" Sale, former Georgia
university pitcher, to Shreveport,
Texas league, having recalled him
from Wilson, N. C., of the Virginia
league.
Second Baseman Dowd, the Spring
field, Man, youth, »u sold by Read
ing to Jersey City. Dowd, only 24.
five years In organized baseball, has
been with 12 major and minor clubs,
considered a record. The Boston Red
Sox traded Third Baseman Clark for
Kwell Gross, lnflelder, of the San
Entonlo club.

Utah Mav Join
Coast Conference
Salt Lake City, Utah, Dec. 3.- The
athletic future of the University of
Utah may be closely allied with that
of the universities and colleges of the
Pacific coast, it was learned from
sources at the university which are
authentic. Conditions in the Rocky
Mountain conference have become
such as to encourage the Crimson in
stitution to abandon its berth in the
intermountain athletic association
and transfer its allegiance to the
coast circles: The benefits to be de
rived from such a transfer are many
and of such a varied nature that ef
forts already are under way to bring
about such an Important change in
the athletics at the University of
Utah.
That serious efforts will be made
to obtain entrance into the Pacific
Coast conference Is a certainty; that
admission will be granted, however,
is not know'll. The coast conference
heretofore has adopted a lenient atti
tude toward the petitioning schools
and this has led to the conviction
that the University of Utah, with its
present commendable standing, would
encounter little difficulty in obtain
ing a goal which has been aimed at
In silence for the last few years by
many intimately familiar with univer
sity affairs.

White Sox and New York Giants
Will Tour South America in 1925
EW YORK, Dec. 3.
I The Chicago
White Sox and
New York Giants
will tour South
America next year
spreading the
gospel of baseball
through the vast
expanse of terri
tory that stretches
from the equator
to Rio de Janeiro.
This was the
news spread by
John J. MeOraw,
who is l»ek in
New York today" following a six week
baseball tour of Europe. His trip met
with enthusiasm, even though It did
not bring much of a financial return,
he said.
The missionary work in behalf of
baseball must and will go on. Me
Grow declared.
“We had a great trip In Europe,"
MrGraw declared, "and though the
thing mi a financial bust, we still
feel that the seed of baseball can be
planted in Europe. Today there »re
no less than 10 or a dozen teami
organiied in Paris and only a few
less in London. These are the be
ginning which will grow and grow
until baseball has become firmly
established, not as a notional, but
ns a world sport,
"Nor are we through with the mis
sionary work. Next year we expect to
go to South America, playing in all
the large cltifcs. The game is not un
known there and we expect to find a
much warmer reception than we did
in France and England.
We are still convinced that basebajl
has possibilities as a world sport, and
we are not discouraged by the finan
clal aspect of the trip Just rlosed.”
Says Giants and White Sox Received
Fine Treatment During Foreign Trip
New York, Dec. 3.—John (Hans)
I.olwrt. who had charge of all busi
ness arrangements for the Luropean
tour of the Giants and White Sox,
returned with favorable Impressions
of royalty as a source of baseball en
thusiasm.
Lobert, the fastest man who ever
encircled the bases, returned with the
teams yesterday.
"The nicest fellow I menl was
the duke of York." said Lobert. “lie
is the »ne regular Kip', that's all,
lie's a young fellow and all that,
hut he knows how to giie the noble
athletes the big handshake and
wish them well.
"During one of the games in
Ixtndou the duke came down lo Hie
bench to meet the gang. He was
regulnr all the way through. He
asked a lot of questions and did not
pretend to know a lot of stuff, like
some of them,
“ ‘I understand you fellows fare
better than fool hull men,” lie said.
‘You are entitled to It, for you put j
n lot of pep In the sport. I hope j
yon have a paying trip.'
“The duke asked question* about I
the ma»k, the glove* and the pro
tector. lie's Just a young fellow
with a lot to learn, hilt nobody
tried to string him. In fact, he
was *n nice and agreeable that we
tried to meet him half si), I’m
for that hoy.’’
I,obert said he was husv with Ihe
game when the test of the “gang '
met the king of Kngland and the
prince of Wales. I-obort said the
player* were warmly welcomed wher
ever they went.
“The only trouble wan—especially
In France—that the ordinary folks,''
he said, “were not on to baseball and
wouldn't give up their francs "
Irish Meusel returned with the
king of Kngland as his favorite. “Ilia
nmjesty was as nice to us na any
other high class fan who doesn't want
an annual pass said Meusel.

Report for Work
With a state football championship
won for the first time, attention at
Tech High Is now being turned from
the gridiron to the hardwood court.
Coach Drummond this morning is
sued his first general basket ball call
and practice will begin tomorrow aft
ernoon.
Prospects at the Cuming street In
stitution are fairly bright, with four
letter men back besides some prom
ising material from the second team
of last year. The last year letter
men who will return are Captain
Holm, Othmer, Swartz and Charn
quist. Those expected to make a
strong bid for regular berths are Nel
son, Swanson, Prerost, Thoma, Hus
ton, Horne and Milhollin.
Of the four letter men around
whom Drummond will build his
■quad, only two were regulars last
season—Holm and Charnquist. Swartz
and Othmer worked enough to get
their letter, but were supplanted
most of the time by Crabb ar.d Zust.
The big task confronting Drum
mond Is the plugging of the hole left
at guard by the graduation of
■‘Marty" Swanson. Milhollin seems to
be the most likely candidate, but
lacks weight and experience.
