Charlie Comiskey, owner OF The Chi

American League magnates should not
be too hasty in taking action against the
players who have jumped their contracts.
He believes that the men who make the
players give up one team for another
are to blame. and he voiced some senti-
rnents regarding blacklisting and con-
tract jumping which may not read pleas
to fr,s
Comiskey says:
Il hear all this talk about blacklist
ing the players who H.ve jumped their
contracts, but for M part If there is
any blacklisting 10 be done 7 believe 10
should be applied to the men who are
really the cause OF the contract jump
ing.
"a magnate or manager. who through
undue influence gets a player to break
faith, Is as much or more 10 blame than
the player himself, and this sort Of
person is the one who should be driven
out OF the game, according TO my way
OF thinking.
These men are crafty enough so that
their underhanded work does not ge.
down in writing. and the player is
made the scapegoat Usually when
player signs a second contract 10 is
vinced him thar his original contract
is not binding that the organization 20
which he is bound is on the verge Of
bankruptcy, and in no position to full
FIJI its obligations, and that the sign
ing Of the new contract is the only
thing that will keep him in the game.
and yet it has become the custom to
condemn the player, and Jet The magnatc
go free. I don't believe in contract
jumpers Of any kind. but I am with the
players always. and believe that the
real way TO stop the practice is TO get
at the root OF the evil"
