EXCESS DRAFTING TO STOP Survival of Federal League Question of Competition, Thinks Ilerrman. Baseball Open to AII, Says i Commission Chairman. COLUMBUS. O., Nov. 12. Five com mittees were announced by President fcexton, of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues at to day's session. To one committee was assigned the problem of devising ' a way whereby a uniform style of con tract can be prepared for players of the five different classes of leagues affiliated with the organization. Presi dent Leavitt, of the Oakland club of . the Pacific Coast League, heads this committee. President Tearney, of the Three I League, urged a movement for a reform in the system of drafting players. lie attacked the practice of major league clubs in drafting more players than needed and then making cancellations of the drafts, and this sentiment received hearty support. It was voted that such procedure be abandoned by National Association clubs. Secretary Farrell read to the con vention a list of the requests from the Players' Fraternity. No action was taken, it being left to the - committee on contracts to formulate a course of procedure to be suomitted to the con vention for ratification. No objection will be made to sending a committee Into conference with the National com mittee and representative players. The adoption of the uniform contracts is one of the demands made by the Play ers' Fraternity. August Herrmann, chairman of the National Commission, recommended that the baseball fraternity be repre sented by a committee of players at conferences rather than by persons not connected directly with the game as players. Mr. Herrmann said the survival of the Federal League must be a ques tion only of competition.' "Baseball," he said, "cannot be confined to those leagues that operate under the Na tional agreement. The game is open to all." The Commission pledged Its efforts to insure that contracts be ''The0 National board of arbitration, which has 167 cases to hear, got down to real business this morning, and it is expected that the docket can be cleared by Thursday night. . Opinions among the baseball fans here differed as to what action the board will take re garding the demands of the Players' Fraternity. It Is probable that most of the demands will be referred to a committee. Governor Cox, of Ohio, welcomed the delegates to the state. Governor Hoop er, of Tennessee, is here and will try to persuade the National Association to hold its next convention at Nashville. John H. Farrell, secretary and treas urer of the National Baseball Associa tion, today announced decisions of the National board of arbitration, which were reached after a session of the board which extended into the early hours of the morning. The decisions. In part, follow: Claim of J. M. Myers against Cal gary, disallowed. Claim of Jack "Mertens against Quincy, disallowed.

An application was received from the Canadian League for territor ial rights to Erie. Pa., to which it Is desired to transfer the Guelph, Ont., franchise. The board decided to gfve Krle until January 1 to organize the territory. FEDERAL- LEAGUE NAMES HEAD Indianapolis Club to Spend $50,000 to Equip Xew Grounds.

Ferguson didn't show much of a winning percentage but he fanned 7.18 men per game, which is' some whiffing. Hagerr..an came to w&&$sz?rr-2i Portland from the Western League with a reputation as a strikeout artist and he lived up to it by fan ning close to seven batsmen per game. Overall of the Seals and Krause, Stanley and James, of - Portland, were next in line. Ida witter's aver age was 4.58. the "Rip" Eagtnaaa, Dutchman ranking 17th in the list. Dickey Bayless, of the Venice bunch. Is one batsman who has Klawitter's "nanny" staked in the front yard. Billy Burke, the Sacramento trainer, tells a good one on Klawitter. Bayless had been rapping Klawitter with an noying regularity until one day Klaw itter got to mixing them up. During that game Al had Dickey al most twisting himself off at the ankles, nibbling at wild ones. 'Tve got something that can't hit - at last," announced Klawit ter. bawling it loud enough so that everybody within 100 feet might hear, The next game Bayless landed on him for three singles. During the kidding that ensued Klawitter admitted that Bayless would flourish as long as he was pitching in this league. Diekey used to make life a horror, in the Southern League. In fact Klawitter says It was his pitch, ing that enabled Bayless to draw big salary in those days. Coast League average strikeout lead, era for 1913 are as follows: Fereruson, 7.18; Hagerman, 6.79 Overall, 6.60; Krause, 6.85; Stanley, 5.63: James, 5.44; Klepfer, 5.40; Stroud, 5.25; Abies. 6.16: Krapp, o.lO; Fanning, 4.93: McCorry, 4.85; Kinsella, 4.83 Drucke, 4.82; Decunniere, 4.81; Baker, 4.65, and Klawitter, 4.5S.

SPREAD TO BE ROYAL ONE Callahan and McGraw Said to Be in Love "With Banquet Stuff" and Somebody Must Make Speech, So Schaefer's to Bo Heard. Portland's baseball fans will Jump to the desk at each call of the post man today, for the Invitation com mittee of the Portland Baseball Boost ers' Association today will drop into the mails the limited number of bids to the big Giant-Sox feed on Tues day, into the .mails. Those who can rest assured of re ceiving a card are the Portland Coast and Northwestern baseball team mem bers who are in the city. All those who hail from Portland, but have been in the big leagues during the present Summer (present in Portland, past in other parts of the country), will also receive a handsomely engraved card asking them to dine with the baseball tourists. Those cards to the tourists also will be sent today. Callahan and McGraw, 'tis said, like the banquet stuff and never miss an opportunity to be on the speakers' list. Callahan has had an extended ex perience on the. stage and that makes him a regular Ham Lewis at banquets. But it remains for Germany Schaefer exactly to fill the orator's bill. The famous Washington comedian Is never at a loss for a speech. Nor is Jack Sheridan, the umpire, a Spring chicken in the forensic league. But the oratory Is not confined to the banquets, according to G. W. Axel son, a Chicago newspaperman who is accompanying the athletes around the world. Axelson says that at every stop loud cries arise for McGraw and Mathewson. Then out steps Schaefer onto the observation car platform, bowing and smiling, McGraw in repl lea. The crowd, if not hep to the pseudo stunt, usually responds with a frantic cheer for Muggsy. As a grand finale out meanders Secretary Sparrow, and Comlskey is given three cheers. As Sparrow traveled with a circus for many years, he generally gets away with his fakery. and the natives huzzah the train out of town happy in the knowledge that they have seen two of the greatest figures in baseball. Among those will dine with Portland fans and the tourists is Eddie Mensor, who returned yesterday from a season with Pittsburg. The former wearer of the Beaver uniform had a good season of it in the East. REED DORMITORY WINS, 6 TO 0 Line Bucks Following Fumble Send Ball Over "Day Dodger's" Iiine. In a well-played game of football yesterday at Reed College the dormi tory team defeated the day students by Lhe score of 6 to 0. The single touch down of the game came in the first quarter after six minutes of play. Lancefield kicked off to Irle, who was downed on his own 20-yard line. Alter a few bucks at the line the "day dodgers" fumbled and the dormitory men started the ball down the field. A fumble gave the ball to the "dodgers," who lost it a minute lat'sr in the same way. Then on line bucks by Hauck, Lancefield and Sabin, the ball was car ried over for a touchdown. Lancefield failed to kick goal. The same team played a 0-0 tie a. week ago. Lancefield, at half, called the sig nals for the dormitory, team and suc ceeded in giving the team more life than it had in the last game. He ran the team well and played a star game both on defense and offense. Piper also starred for the winners. The teams lined up as . follows: "Day-Dodgers."

Sneetland Predict Oregon Will Win in Portland Game Seattle Tram Weakest in Years, Says Expert. WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY, Salem, Or., Nov. 12. (Special.) Coach Dobie. of the University of Washington, when questioned Saturday by Manager Paget in Albany after the State University- Oregon Agricultural College game con cerning a game between the University of Washington and Willamette in case Washington defeats Oregon in Port land Saturday, informed the Willam ette representative that he had all the trouble he wanted within the confer ence without hunting for it outside. Dobie said even if Willamette did defeat Oregon, . Washington would have everything to lose and nothing to gain by playing the Salem team. Do bie also stated that O. A. C. -Saturday was entirely a different team from a playing point of view than that which went to Seattle last month. "The Ore gon Aggies are a better team than Washington today," added Dobie. Dr. G. J. Sweetland. Jr.. coach of the Willamette team, is positive that Washington will be defeated by Ore gon. "Oregon will have a surprise for Washington," said Coach Sweetland. Both teams should score, but Oregon has in Cornell and Parsons two men who will get away around any ends. While both are over-rated, I believe the Washington line ahead of Dobie's backfield from a defensive point. Washington has been lucky. I believe that Dobie never has had a team whose real strength is as badly exaggerated as at present. ItAGGIN RETURN'S TO RACING Kentucky Financier Purchasing New String of , Thoroughbreds.
