Bristol, declaring his belief that as Walsh signed last July for 1904, the national agreement cannot retro act, so that the rule about drafting can- not affect any of his players who signed 1904 contracts before the agree ment was signed. The matter will un- doubtedly come before the national board of arbitration for settlement. MT Burnham also writes about Flanagan. He does not know whether he will draft Steamer" or not. Flanagan wants more money than he cares to pay and besides Burnham has his eye on other players who would do better. Flanagan did say, according to Burn ham, that he would never play in Mer- iden again. This talk naturally angers the Meriden owners, for they believe that their treatment of Flanagan has been of the best.
