The Players Base Ball League will be
= success. The monopoly that has con-
trolled the game for some years past to
its own enrichment Ia pretty sure to get
left. We can not ace wherein the League
has a ghost Of chance to win its injunc-
ton eases against the players. IL the
claim that the League can hold these men
from one season to another by its system
OF contracts IL sustained, we do not see
why the condition Of the player Is not
virtually one 81 perpetual servitude TO
the League magnates, 40 long IA he shall
desire to obtain n livelihood Ia base ball.
Such principle Is not In keeping with
the spirit OF American Institutions and
will not. In our opinion, be recognized IA
sound In any court In the country. The
people aye with the players and IA usual
the newspapers are with the people.
The League would have many more
friends among the members Of the press,

eral policy towards them. The newspa-

thousands Of dollars worth Of valuable
advertising space, The have populariled

let them send to the leading newspa-

uowal Of their purposes and
a cordial invitation to members of the
various editorial stalls to visit the games
whenever they CHANGED to he Ia the cities

Very few of these would ever be used.
The editorial prote 'siou IL altogether too
busy to put much time into baseball, but
