San Francisco, Nov. 7. Directors of the Pacific Coast Baseball league meet here Nov. 15 to lay plans for the 1923 season. Representatives will attend from San Francisco, Oakland, Seattle, Vernon, Los Angeles, Portland, Sacramento and Salt Lake.

j. Cal Ewing, one of the owners of the Oakland club, is to put before the directors a proposal to limit each team to fovlrteen players of major or Class AA experience and to six players who have not played In minor league before. Ewing says he has enough votes to secure adoption of the plan. Critics of Ewing's proposal say that adoption of it would make the Coast league Class AA in name only. Those supporting the plan.

claim, it would mean a big saving for the clubs. The suggestion, It' Is said, may result in a compromise, which would limit the clubs to 18 experienced players and two recruits. The directors also will take up the question of giving the players on the leading teams a bonus, such as was done this year. Ewing, it is believed, will continue his objections to this move and. one dissenting vote will kill the move.

Under the plan each club contributes $2,600 toward the bonus. Ewlrig thinks that the players are well paid for their services and should give the best that is in them without a financial Incentive to urge them Every other owner on the circuit wants the bonus continued, it Is thought.

Dick Smith, ex-cruiser weight champion of Great Britain scored a technical knockout over George Co'ok, the Australian heavyweight champion In the fifteenth round of a scheduled 20-round bout at the National Sporting club last night. The bput was splendidly contested throughout.

Smith showed excellent ring craft, causing Cook to miss with his right swings repeatedly. After the tenth round Smith took a decided lead, landing several rights and lefts at long range and right uppercuts In the his time, but while it he showed a' willingness to fight to give the public Its money's worth and play the game on the level. The overnight changes in the bantam class, the petty wrangling of New York promoters and writers over the featherweight crown and the right of Kll-bane to wear It and the putrid showing of Johnny Wilson, middleweight king, have caused the public to lose interest in those classes. Indirectly this odium arising from these classes has helped drag the boxing game down to the low level it now holds. If Walker proves to be a capable champion and eleats to fight willingly and without the petty heckling, bickering and four-flushing of many stars ct the game, he will not only keep the welterweight class in the foreground but will help keep the game from sliding completely to the dogs.

If he trots the paths of the other money and publicity-loving kings and plays the public for flsfr he will only speed the final rakonlng. Walker has shown1 In his brief career that he is a real fighter. When ha first met Jack Britton on July-18, last year, the youngster forced the veteran champ to the limit and while Walker showed many weak points he gave Indications that he would demand recognition sooner or later.
