Nov. 8. W'ith the Lasker plan a dead issue among the "little fellows," delegates began ar riving today for the annual contention of the National Association of Minor leagues with the avowed purpose of fighting for representation on baseball's highest tribunal. The minors, whose meeting open tomorrow afternoon, I are unprepared i to entertain visiting major moguls, but will hold out p. welcoming hand should the "big fellows" come to Kansas City. ' ' ViXVh FIGHT FOB. EIGHTS j I One thing was certain on the eve of the minors' meeting and that was their desire for. representation on the national baseball 'conamlssion. No plan, ' not carrying this concession to the minors will be adopted nor will-the minors throw their support to either faction in the, Heydler-Johnson dispute without It. An overwhelming majority of. the minors oppose the Lasker plan or any other plan creating an independent tribunal for baseball's control. . : 1 I For the first Mime in 20 years the "little 'fellows" have an opportunity for an equal voice in the management of baseball and they will 'fight to the last ditch" before accepting any compromise which eliminates minor league repre sentation. The plan which will i find most supporters among the minors is the continuation of the present national baseball commission, with the appoint ment of a minor representative to fill ,vacancy created by Garry Herrmann's resignation. The Lasker plan is tabooed, for the minors want practical baseball men in control, with one of their own number named for a post on the trium virate. . .. . j WILL TALK ilRAFT ' J j The minors have four candidates for the national commission, any one of which' would be acceptable to the "little fellows." These are Michael H.i Sexton. president of the .National Association of Minor leagues ; David H. Fultz, presi dent of the International league of the players fraternity; A! Tierney, presi dent of the Western and Three Eye cir cuits : and J. Cal Ewing, president of the Pacific Coast league. If the rhajors adjourn their Chicago meeting, to come to Kansas City, the draft law may prove to be the" main topic for discussion.

Coach Harry Dorman, who has been training the Reed team for the past three weeks, has instilled a fair idea of the Dobie system, in spite of (he hani cap.offered by a complete lack of vet erans, at Reed. j t Ted Steffen. ex-Lincoln star, and James Hamilton have been consistent contenders for 'the quarterback position and it Is probable that both mn:wlll be used Thursday.

Say to the tobac conist: "Spur." You can't lose. 1V matum on this subject is a 85000 draft price, with the majors limited to class AA leagues. This is double the price last in effect. The minors have continued the draft within their own organizations and fared well.' They are just as will ing to continue without major league participation as with it. HOLD TECMP CARDS If the majors meet with the new price and a new working agreement- is adopted between majorg and minors, the "little fellows" will boost draft, prices between leagues within their - own ranks. For example,! the $1500 price existing now for the drafting of class A players by class AA clubs would probably be raised 'to :500. and so on down the line. Another subject due for lengthy con sideration and , in which "war clouds" loom ominously is a minor league of fensive against the industrial "outlaws." Scores of clubs lost valuable players to the industrial leagues at the beginning of last season, particularly the Western and International leagues. The minors have not forgotten and will adopt stern "reprisal" measures against the indus trials. - ! On the whole, the atmosphere of to morrow's meeting will be a "mind your own business" attitude by the minors.; If the majors come to Kansas City there will be excitement, with the minors hold ing the trumps.

Pastor to Referee Welterweight Bout For Championship (By CniTcraal Serrice) Kansas City,. Mo., Nov. 8. Simulta neous with the announcement Saturday that the supreme court of Kansas had upheld the state anti-cigarette law. came an announcement at Kansas City that a minister will referee a fight to be staged here shortly.

By George Berts THE winner of the California-Stanford football classic November 20 will be crowned champions of the Pacific Coast Intercollegiate conference. Hopes of the Northwest were blasted Saturday by the overwhelming , defeat1 handed the Pullman Cougars by the Golden Bear Saturday at Berkeley and the S to 0 victory of Stanford over the University) of Washington team. Football followers of the Northwest were staggered by the outcome of the California-Cougar game. Had any one predicted, an easy victory for Califor nia they would have been considered unbalanced, as the Cougars were Counted upon by practically all fans to give California a tough battle. WERE HELPLESS The Bears had no difficulty In win ning the game. They scored a -touch- down in the second quarter' and put the oa-ii oenina me unmson and grey goal line twice in the second nerinri. in th third, four touchdowns were registered. ' In the final quarter, when most of Cali fornia's second string men were in the line-up, W. S. C. held the Bears score less. .!"". No result in years caused a greater sensationL The Cougars seemed abso- lutely helpless against the speedy attack of California. The much heralded at tack of the Cougars was smashed to pieces by the brilliant defensive playing of' Andy j Smith's forwards. Stanford's victory over Washington was not nearly as great a surprise as was Its ; victory over Oregon. Kicking was expected to be a factor in deciding the contest and it was ,lDink" Temple ton's toe that booted Stanford to victory.
