ARRANGING FOR
INTER-IEAGUE SERIES
Magnates Discuss Schedule
for 48 Games After Reg
ular Season
By H. C. Hamilton,
(United Press Staff Correspondent.)
New York, Dec. 11. Details of the
inter league series between the Inter
nntional league anl the American As
sociation w ill be worked out today in a
joint meeting of lie magnates of the
two leagues.
Thomas Hicky. new president of the
American Association, ami his club
owners already have ratified their end
of the plan and they are here to ex
plain and agree to anything that might
be fvggested by the in cm: tional leag
ue' '..
On the. fee ;-f it, tht plan, which
c:ilN for a schedule 01 II tames after
the i lose i f the regular seasons by the
tri logins, seems to be the one filing
81 f.ir prtpised tkrt wA kick I little
rrp info the grand old g;-me as it ia
ol.ed by the minor hic.es. Tile small
leagues, A. A., as weli as the more
bushy elassos, have had some pretty
hard sledding since the Federals made
their historical play for recognition and
every head in t In- business has had
some plan to propose for betterment.
It is argued for the benefit of the
plan that it WW give the fans variety
in that 16 teams will be seen instead
of the usual eight. Also new cities will
be represented, thereby arousing more
rivalry. Everything seems to be for
the success or the proposition.
No one. is taking seriously the threat
of the ball players to strike unless the
minoT league magnates agree to pay
salaries while players are injured. It
is believad some sort of a compromise
can be reached. The class AA leagues
have been trying hard to have the draft
eliminated from their clubs, and around
this point may develop a hard fight.
The players will fight this plan, con
tending that it would militate against,
their chances of advancement to the
majors. Dave Fultz already has made
known his feelings in this and they
are strongly against it. He feels that
a player could be kept indefinitely in
the A A leagues in caso the draft was
not there to give him a chance of ad
vancement. National league magnates are begin
ning to drift in for their annual gab
fest, which will open tomorrow.

Football was unofficially dismissed

day afternoon when the sophomore and
fresh man claries of Willamette univer

the supremacy of the two lower clusses.
After a somewhat spectacular frolic In

unrecognizable as it was assimilated on
their bodies, the final blast of Referee
Mathews' whistle saw the score remain
jug scoreless or a I) to 0 tie.
According to (he provisions of the
