July 18 (iP) Di rectors of tho Pacific const league will meet here today to discuss the universal draft, the new baseball agreement recently demanded by the National and American leagues. At present, the coast circuit, along with two other Class AA and two clasB A leagues, have a modified draft agree ment with the majors. Under the universal draft plan, big league clubs would have the prlvilego of claim ing any one player Instead of only thoKo with previous major experience as Is tho case now. Three clubs, Sun Francisco Seals, Oakland and Sacramento, are known to be opposed to tho new draft pro position while it is understood the S.m Francisco Missions also will vote against It. Tho Los Angeles team, owned by William Wrlglcy of the Chicago Cubs, favors the draft. The attitude of directors of the Portland. Seattle and Hollywood clubs on tho question Is not known. Several years ago the coast league voted against tho universal draft.
