OBJECTS OF THE LATEST REVOLT

What the Association Had In View when
1t Withdrew from the National Agree
ment-KrauthoT Justiiles Thurman.
Players Who We're willing to Sign.
1t is to be presumed the baseball reader
by this time is familiar with the causes
which led up to the withdrawal of the
American association recently from the
national agreement. Nearly every nows
paper in the country has dealt in the his
tory of the case. Much misinformati0n or
Misunderstanding however, went out in
the first heat of this baseball quarrel. The
| Association justified its action on the al
legged fact that one member of the national
board, the supreme baseball tribunal in the
country, had decided in their favor when
the Bierbauer ana Stovey cases came NJ
for settlement; that this dissenting mem
ber was not their own representative on
the board, but the delegate from the west
ern association; that they had been be.
trayed by their own presdent-their repre-
sentative on the board, who had voted
against them.
Since this casus belli was announced Mr.
! Krautholf, the supposed dissenting mem
Der of the board, has called attention to the
fact tbat his suDDlemcntal decision was
not dissentinr. hut one which came to the
same conclusion with the other two mem
| barq onIv nv n different uronas4 of reason
ing
Mr. Krarthoff has also a1peared in pub-
lie print, above his own name, justifyng
MIR. Thurman, the deposed American asso-
citation president and declaring that the
latter bod bad no Justification in the
Bierhoner and Stoyev cascs for their with
draval from the national agreement.

association but ordered an offensive move

clared tbat the Association climbs nv with.
drawing without assignino Officially W anv
canse for the act had forfeited all rioht to
their own reserved PLAYERS, and that
national agreement clubs would have the
right to sign any of the last named class,
The board further officially served notice
that any reserved PLAYER who should sign
and play with any such rebellious clubs
would become ineligible under national
agreement laws to play with any national
agreement club
The result has been sudden halt in the
proposed triumphant march of the revolu
tionists to power over the bodies of theu
foes. The most conservative of the Asso
citation ''macnates" undoubtedly regret
that they allowed themselves to be led
away in the heat of disappointment, and
to be persuaded, without fully measuring
the possble consequences, to take up the
sword by which they themselves are now
threatened
