APPEAL FOR FAIR PLAY.
Powers Wants Major Leagues to Re-
spect Contracts of Minors.

io"efs wants MAJOR Leagues to He-
spect Contracts of Minors.
P. T. Powers, president of the Eastern
League. and also president of the new or
ganization of minor leagues. has sent let
ter, dated September 80. to the presidents
of the National and American League
clubs, in which he says:
The minor leagues have recently received
notice from President Young that the ma
tional agreement will be abrogated and ter
minated by the National League on Sep
tember 30. 1901, and not again renewed.
While such sudden and arbitrary action
was entirely unexpected. and while by
many considered unwise for the best in
terests of professional base ball and great
Injustice to the minor leagues, which have
always been loyal to the national agree
ment. it is not the purpose Of this letter to
criticiSe the action of the National League
in this matter, but simply to acauaint you
with the fact that in consequence Of the
National Leagues abrogation of the ma
tfonal agreement, the following leagues Of
professional base ball clubs have banded
together for mutual protection and organ
lied an entirely Independent association,
under the name of the National Associa-
tion of Professional Base Ball Leagues,
of which have the honor to be president
The membership of this new organization
Is composed Of eleven leagues, representing
the Western League. the Eastern League.
and Illinois leagues. the New York State
League, the Connecticut State League, the
Southern League. the New England League
the Virginia-NOrth Carolina League the
Pacific Northwest League, the California
State League, employing in all at least
1000 professional players
While it is to be regretted that base
ball war now exists between the National
and American leagues, yet the minor
leagues are in no way parties to it or re-
sponsible for it, and the minor leagues
desire to remain neutral we respectfully ap-
peal to and request that the individual
club members of each of the National and
American leagues express their willingness
as individual clubs to respect the reserve
and contractual rights of the minor league
clubs With their players, the minor league
clubs, members of the National Associa-
ton of Professional Base Ball Clubs to re-
ciprocate by respecting the reserve and
contractual rights Of the club members Of
the National and American leagues with
their players, or such individual clubs OF
these two leagues as may be willing to
JOIN with us In this reciprocity arrange
ment.
While our association feels itself suffi-
ciently strong and competent to protect
Its own interests, yet an honorable respect
for each others contracts and rights seems
so proper. fair and necessary for the good
repute of professional base ball that as
president Of the National Association of
Professional Base Ball Leagues I am
prompted to make this proposition with the
hope that a sufficient number, il not all of
the individual club members of the two
warning National and American leagues
will cooperate with the National Associa-
these important and essential business
