FRISCO MAY LOSE THREE PLAYERS If I)rafl Huh's are Annulled Wauer, Ithynr anil \ alia Will he Lost in Twinkling of An Eye. It) JOHN n. FOOTER 1*24. fey Tht Atfvanr* New York .Feb. 6 ? Probably the only thing that will hold the San Francisco Club together in 1025 ? if the owners wish to retain its per t?onnel ? is the fact that the modified drift does uot permit players who have been developed by a minor organization to be selected by lot by the major clubs. And now some of the majors are working to annul that provision and make the draft Wide oprn. ? There arc three players on the San Francisco Club who would be lost in a twinkling if the draft rules did not held them for the coast champions. They are Waner, Ithyne and Valla. All three, however, as ft Is understood here, are strictly San Francisco property. Petey Kilduff is not. and it Isn't a bit sure that San Francisco will keep him another year as he is a better second baseman right now than four that can be named in the big leagues. When the San Francisco team won | the?championship lasf-year some of, the coast owners who did not win, I moped around and said that they! might have had a chance had they been allowed to borrow players from! the big leagues ? a pretty sorry way I of saying that baseball is not a game ' but a show. Perhaps Waner will do "so well In1 1924 that he will be put on the market by San Francisco. It looks as If a free for all draft Is Impend ing. San Francisco would almost be forced to do the best It could for it self, preparatory to losing him. Then woul/i come Rhyne and then Valla, and that would leave San Francisco pretty well stripped. It seems impossible to convince some of the Inexperienced baseball men that the disintegration of minor league strength will bring baseball exactly to the condition where it was when Brooklyn made their famous draft and nearly tied up every minor! league in the business. Then- every?! body had a sudden rush of virtue to' the head, farming was abolished.! the majors were politely labelled! hogs, and limits were talked about. J The limit m?w gives the majors 640 J players and they wanted eighty mnrrr the last time they thought about' the subject. The Southern Association la be-; ginning to fe?*l that adoption of the! modified draft by the American As sociation and the Pacific League has1 put them In much the same plight as the International League. The latter doesn't favor the draft and! can't get any players on loan. The! Southern Association does favor the draft but suddenly has found that | the big boys are passing them up and will put all the players theyl can into the American Association' und the Coast league, both of which | are loaded up with major league j nfaterlal. The Southern Association now realizes thnt it was holding the bag] when It talked so glibly for the j dra&, and that unless it hustles' around for players It will not have! anything to draft. And what good I is the draft if th"re Is nothing around the premises that anybody wants to take out of the Flrfct Na tional Dank In your stocking?

Father May Coach Against His Son Dick Glendon, Senior and Jun ior, Will Probably Prepare Crews For Navy Event By I -A WRENCH PERRY Copyright, I Ml, bf The Advanca New York, Feb. 6 ? If present plans are carried out the Navy owin*; situation this season will Involve the dramatic spectacle of father coach-' Ing against son. Young Dick Glen-' don (Richard J.) will of course at-4 tend the the development of the reg- . ular varsity eight, while Richard A.I Glendon, crew coach at Annapolis J for so many years, will coach an eight made up of men who swung sweeps for the Navy in recent sea sons, provided arrangements are' carried through for the organization of such an outfit. In such event both the regular and graduate crews would partici-j pate in the Olympic tryouts in Phil-' adelphia in May. At first glance' it would appear (hat Glendon sen ior would have the easier task, in as-much as the scheme is to recall to the -academy members of the fa- j mous 1920 eight who von world: honors at the Antwerp Olympics. j If all these veterans were availa ble. Glendon would, as the saying is,1 sit pretty indeed. But King, the stroke, and three of his comrades are now in the service, thereby leaving a nucleus of four Olympic heroes who.Sc number would be supplement ed bu outstanding members of other, recent crews. Even granting that these men are ? or were ? - all fine oarsmen and that Frawley, who stroked the 1921 and 1922 crews, was no less pro'fi-j cient than King, there may be no as surance that an alumni eight could1 be developed that would bear com-' parlson to the 19 20 combination, or even he qualified to defeat the 1924 varsity for which will be available six members'of the strong 1923 crew. Individual stars do not of them-' selves insure a great crew. In no sporrt do such delicate factors as perfect coordination and the blend ing of all physical elements figure so importantly. A coach may work for week# and months over* eight men who seem to fill every physical requirement and yet never evoke that vague, albeit utterly im portant. essence that must appear if a crew is to be great. it is purely psychological and its mysteries come more properly before the professor of metaphysics than the rowing coach. Frank Cavan augh. in writing of this element in another sport, football, calls It the "essential nexus." which has a sound! appropriate for something so subtle. I and. in point of fact, describes it very well. Thus Ihe elder Glendon may find 1 to hand a s?*t of men whose physl-j que and experience any coach might! envy and yet never he able to set them, so to speak, on fire. As a matter erf fact this lies within the1 men themselves! at least this seems | a plausable theory. Whether it comes from the coach, wholly or In part, or from the oarsmen, one fan-) cies that its is less easily induced in alumni oarsmen than in undergra graduates. Cantilever Shoe Recommended by Foot Specialists FOOT Spcialists who are dealing with foot troubles know that incorrect shoes have been responsible for bunions, corns, callouses, and many more serious foot ailments. It is for this reason that Foot Specialists recommend a shoe that is modeled along- the lines of the human foot. The Cantilever Shoes, with its flexible arch, encourages healthful exercise of the ligaments ? and muscles of the foot, thereby strengthening the foot structure and permitting the foot arch to become self-supporting. This is one reason why the Cantilever is endorsed by so many Foot Specialists. Go to a Foot Specialist if you are suffering from foot trouble. Your feet are too important to be neglected.
