Letters From Hart and Others.

Letters From Hart and Others
Cleveland, O., Feb. 15-Afraid that
they have lost a number of star players
to the American league. and fearful
that they may lose more. the National
league magnates are writing to Presi-
dent thinner of the Players Protective
association asking what his association
will do for the National league if that
organization accedes to the demands Of
the players.
thinner has received three letters. The
first two We're from James Hart, presi-
dent of the Chicago club, and Rogers,
Of the Philadelphia club. The former
was DESTROYS Of knowing whether Zin-
mer would attend the National league
meeting alone or would he be accom-
panied by Attorney Taylor. Late this
afternoon thinner received a letter from
President Ebbets of the Brooklyn club.
1t was brief and to the point What
win the Players Protective association
do to those players that have jumped
the National league and Joined forces
with the American league If the Ma
tiona1 league accedes to the demands Of
the players2'
thinner viii answer in a couple of
days In discussing the subject he said:
I'VE can not stop those players that
join with the American league, although
1t is a violation Of the rules of the assO-
citation But those that do so forfeit
their right TO membership Once for
feited they can never join again and
must suffer the consequences. OF
course. we can not agree to make all
players sign National league contracts.
even if this organization accedes to our
demands, but it is our purpose to pro-
teot the National league the best we
know how. This is given to all Organi-
cations acceding to our demands and it
Is our duty to protect them, but as
say, it is impossible to make all players
join their own organizations unless they
are willing to do So The penalty Of
failing to live up to the agreement is
expulsion, and those deserving viii be
treated in that manner. We instructed
all American league players under con-
tract at the end Of the season of 1900 to
sign contracts with that organization.
All others who have signed contracts
win suffer the cOnsequences."
