Wet grounds also caused postponement of all other games scheduled in the county.

By FRANK GETTY (United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Dec. answer of the major leagues to the challenge of the minors over the unsatisfactory draft rule now In effect was the one serious problem confronting baseball clubowners, officials and managers gathering here today for the annual winter meetings.

Otherwise smiles of contentment were in order on the familiar faces of the baseball men who came drifting into town to join the buzzing, hand shaking, backslap- plng groups in the hotel lobbies. The steering committee of the two only a few seasons ago was called Into action to chart a course in the troublesome times fthe Landis-Johnson into a somewhat superfluous session today. There seemed to be smooth sailing ahead. Meetings This Week The National league has its meeting tomorrow, the American league on Wednesday and there will be a joint meeting Thursday.

Plan Barnard Sendoff The American league is preparing to give Ed Barnard of Cleveland a royal send-off as its president. John Heydler, a fixture in that berth in the National league, has ready a report to the effect that all attendance records were broken in 1927.

Like small bad boys playing tick tack on the window when their elders are in conference, the minor league baseball folk will be on the outskirts, tossing inaudible hints about this business of the draft. Five minor leaguefe announced at Dallas they would refuse to allow any more of their players to be drafted. Other clubs joined in complaining that they were being drained constantly of all their good baseball material through an unfair draft rule. The reply of the major league league clubs is, of course, that the minor league owners brought the trouble upon their own heads through exorbitant demands which sent the ivory market soaring. LOS ANGELES TRADES WEISS, FRANK BRAZ1LL TO MISSIONS FOR BOB JONES AND BARF00T LOS ANGELES, Dec.

Brazill, third baseman, and Art Weiss, outfielder, were traded by tbe Los Angeles club to the San Francisco Missions for Bobby Jones, third baseman, and Clyde Barfoot, pitcher, the Angel management announced today. Children Will Be Club Guests MEET HIS OLD The deal was strictly a trade, no cash being involved, Manager Marty Krug said. In Brazill and Weiss the Mis sions acquired two players who hit well over the .300 mark last season. Bobby Jones Is rated a better fielder than Brazill, but fell behind him at bat. Brazill was formerly with Portland and Seattle.

Santa Ana FOURNIER SOLVED JOHNSON Walter Johnson Is to manager the Newark team of the International league next year. His first baseman will be none other than the hard-hitting Jack Fournier.

On the surface there appear to be anything about the above statement. However, if you discuss the matter with Walter Johnson he would probably tell you he much prefers having Fournier on his team than in the lineup of the opposition. The reason, you Here it is: When Walter Johnson was the outstanding pitcher in the American league no batter In the organization took more liberties with his stuff than Fournier. No matter what his average was, Fournier always found the great Walter to his liking. "Fournier is the toughest batter in the American league for me to work Johnson told me several years ago.

Perhaps that explains why Johnson secured Fournier for Newark the moment ha outlived his big league usefulness. SQUAWKS ON DECISION Soldiers Flld in Chicago appears to be ft tough spot for the offio ials In charge of the big sporting events that have been staged there In the past year. The latest squawk comes from Morley Drury, captain of Southern great football team. Drury is one of the best football players I have seen in action in years. It is unfortunate that he had to get mixed up In the dispute over the decision.

Drury claims Notre Dame got a long count which put Southern California on the short end of the score. Had the umpire ruled a safety on the play in question, team would have won, 8-7, instead of being defeated, 7-6. If the squawk did nothing else, it wised up a lot of fans to the control and possession of the ball thought, as differentiating between just a fumble or a free ball. FIELD MUST BE JINX Just a few months prior to the disputed football ruling we had the referee of the Tunney-Dernp- sey fight In a peck of trouble because of his manner of tolling off the seconds ater Dempsey had dropped Tunney to the canvass. The motion pictures made it bad for the official in charge of the championship bout because his method of counting over Dempsey was just the opposite to his style when Tunney was on the floor.

This feature of the now much discussed battle has never been explained in detail by the referee and I have always believed it would tend to set him right if there was a satisfactory solution that he could present. It was a strange coincidence that just one year ago to the very day on which the Notre Dame- Southern California game was played a squabble took place in the Army-Navy game played on the same field. It will be recalled a Navy back fumbled and an Army man recovered, converting the play into a touchdown. There was an argument that the Army man had kicked the ball a matter of some 20 yards before he finally picked It up. The officials ruled otherwise, but the slow motion pictures merely confused the situation.

Three big sports events inside a year, all featuring a questionable ruling, makes Field look like jinx for the PASADENA, Dec. outstanding members of the Brotherhood of Coaches will match wits when Pittsburgh and Stanford attempt to please the cash customers In the Rose Bowl here January 2, Dr. John Bain Sutherland of Pitt is one of the most successful of the younger coaches, and Glenn Scobey Warner of Stanford has been these many years one of the head men among the ranks of the old-timers. Dr. Sutherland, who lists among his accomplishments a couple of seasons of all-American football, a book on being a leading authority in this branch of the production of two undefeated football elevens in less than a decade of major football coaching, has reason to be proud of his record.

He has done remarkably well during his mateoric gridion career. As a player he was a graud par excellence; a leading performer on one of the mightiest of all mighty teams. The canny Scot finished his education by taking a D. D. S.

degree and then took up football coaching as a profession. His first major success was at Lafayette, where he produced some great teams. While at Lafayette the doctor met his former coach, Warner, who remained at Pitt until 1924, four times. This New affray will break teh tie of two wins apiece now on the Warner- Sutherland register. Jock has scored 22 points on and the has chalked up 31 against his former pupil.

While Sutherland was at Lafayette he organized an escadrille in 1921 which went through an undefeated and untied season to claim the Eastern title. The production of that team had much to do with his recall to Pitt when Warner decided to follow Horace immortal advice. Now. in 1927, just six seasons later, young Jock has another championship aggregation. Even if he were blessed with the best material in the country it would have to be admitted that his coaching has something to do with such success.

If he can turn the trick on once again Sutherland will be for many years to come. Bowling News Showing the way to a field of more than 30 Orange county trundlers.

Irvine and Placentia Lead In Race; Booster Meet To Be Held Wednesday Progress in the campaign to sell 1000 books of tickets good for games played at the Orange County Fair grounds during the spring training season by the Portland club of the Pacific Coast league was reported as being entirely tory today. Jay Hunt, manager of the Fair and in charge of the ticket selling campaign, estimated that 500 season books have been disposed of throughout the county.

Irvine and Placentia are leading in the race to dispose of their fuota. of the $5 ducats, Hunt said. Ana, Tustin, Laguna Beach and Orange also are making good headway and reports from other of the district Indicate that the camp will be a financial as well as an exploitation success. Members of the Orange County Baseball Committee, the group which has underwritten the training camp to the extent of $5000, will hold their next meeting Wednesday night, at 6:30 at cafe in Fullerton. Demand for the advance sale of tickets is actuated by the fact that Ernie Johnson, manager of the Portland Beavers, has announced that in all probability the price of general admission will be 75 cents and to the big games such as the Chicago Cubs and the Pittsburgh Pirates the admission will likely be a dollar.

The tickets now being sold admit the holder to the best seats for which an additional charge will be made are the boxes of which there are only a limited number.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Dec. Cleveland Indians will have a new home very much similar to the Yankee stadium In New York if plans now contemplated are effected. Site of the proposed stadium would be on the shore of Lake Erie within five minutes walking distance of the heart of the city.

It would be built by the city with bond Issue subject to the approval of the voters, and paid for by ft yearly rental from owners of the ball club. Alva Bradley, president of the Indians, who with three millionaire associates recently purchased the team from Mrs. James C. Dunn, has approved the plan. The stadium would have a seating capacity of some $80,000 and would cost approximately $2,000,000.

For the present however, the Cleveland team will continue to make Dunn field its home. Two years would be necessary to float the bond Issues and build a stadium.
