majorleagues may wish to restore the draft in the five circuits that refused to subscribe to it when the major minor agreement went into effect in January 1921 still they do not appear in a mood to make the slightest advances Nobody will deny that the strained relations between the big fel lows and the small fry have had a damaging effect on the best interests of the game in its various scopes The majors could profit immensely through a more congenial working basis with the minors and in turn the little leagues would share in the success But the majors weeping recent ment over what they describe as unfair demands by the minors are accused by the minors of being un fair There the matter stands each faction determined tp yield noth ing to the other but apparently both are willing to compromise to the Magnate Whether the situation clarifies during the meetings of ths magnates big and little in Chicago this month Is another question however Judge Landis who upon hls appointment as supreme dictator In baseball declared he would make It his business to make the Ameri can association Taclfio Coast league International league Three Ey league and tho Western league to alter their anti draft attitude seems to have failed One year ago when the minors held their annual meeting in Louis I Ville Ky Landis endeavored to effect a reconciliation between tho belligerent parlies but he did not win hls point Overtures nflght be I made by one side or tho other dur ing the coining meeting though not under the head ot official business 1 as Landis empowered to call a joint I meeting ot tho majors and minors has gone on record as stating that he sees no necessity for one Both Sides Will Suffer If the minors stand their ground 1 to the end ot refusing to modify their terms upon which they will resume business relations with thu majors they as well as the big fel lows must suffer In tho future as they have in the past particularly the most recent season It Is tho contention of the small leagues that the majors cannot re cruit their ranks without their help while the majors feeling perhaps correctly that the minora sooner or later must declare an end to the war to save their finances cannot hold out much longer The small fry lost considerable money last season by virtue of their refusal to accept players on option from tho majors and the measures of retalia tion adopted by the major circuits that refused to purchase from their commou enemy Basing one's opinion of the breach between tho nntl draft leagues anti the majors on cold facts the bur den of the hlanift for existing con ditions must go squarely bn the American and National'' leagues whose owners In apparent mad de sire to outbid each other for play ers of desirable merit clothed the bush league club owners with gold Boiled tn Wealth Thea The minors felt and qute nat urally too that It was more profit able tor them to restrict the privi leges of the draft when there were so many crasy men In the majors willing to separate themselves from fortunes for players who under the conditions of the selective draft principles would bring merely the sum stipulated in the agreement graded ot course In accordance with tho classification of the cir cuits from which the athletes were chosen The more the majors bought from the market tho more the minors be came convinced that tho National and American loops would throw all caution away and pay outrageous sums for untried material But the majors retaliated with so much weight that the minors realizing that they overplayed their hand must1 seek a settlement some way though as yet no definite move has been started to that end Other eeding Gronnds There are other leagues aside from the anti draft circuits from which tha majors can recruit their ranks Not the equal of ths five outside the fold of course but pro lific enough to provide talent of good quality even If It does require more thorough development One year of this state ot affairs has no doubt altered the entire viewpoint of the antl dratt leagues They have players to sell as usual but nobody in the market to buy them a restriction on ths ad vancement of young ball players and therefore they rather than the club owners suffer It is a matter of record that few if any minor league clubs meet ex penses ot conducting thetr business out of gate receipts alone Their margin of profit when there Is a profit Is realized from the sale ot players outright or through the medium ot the established prices stipulated by tho selective dfaft principle Same for All of Them This applies to the anti draft I leagues as well ns those that sub scribed to tho selective agreement i Therefore while the leagues that are working peacefully with tho I majors accepted In appreciation an

season featured by attendance fig ures that shattered those for all previous gridiron spectacles by a record array of Inter sectional bat tles and by a sensational series of upsets has added probably the most brilliant chapter of all time to ths remarkable growth ot the na tion's favorite college pastime Proof of the keenness with which campaigns for major tfyes were fought is the fact that orily three elevens stood out with undisputed claims to premier honors These were the University of California champion of the Pacific Coast Con ference for the fourth straight year Colorado University
