Against National Agreement.


While the presidents Of the three
great baseball organizations have
been privately formulating plans and
exchanging ideas for the proposed
new national agreement, all other mag
mates, save one, have discreetly re-
Trained from embarrassing comment or
suggestion. The exception is Presi-
dent Hart OF the Chicago club, who
has given to the press a pan which
amounts to practically a reversion to
the old abrogated agreement. shorn Of
very few Of its Objectionable fea-
lures, but retaining all the principles
that lent themselves to perversion
ard abuse. and made for complete ma
jor league dominance
Mr.. Hart's scheme is for a tri-partite
agreement. with equal representation
for the National league, American
and National association; which agree
ment should prescribe and control
these matters Respect Of contracts
and reservation; a draft system and
"niform drafting price. with $500
limit, payable in installmentsI uniform
playing rules; a national board with
supSeme iurisdiction settlement of
mingr league disputes by their own
national board, but privilege Of ap-
peal to the supreme board by any
league. club or player
We are unable to perceive wherein
this proposed agreement, in its funda-
mental principles, differs one iota from
the old agreement, under which the
minor leagues chafed so long that its
abrogation by its own makers and
beneficiaries was hailed with delight
by the entire minor league world.
The only radical departure is the mat
ter of giving three great baseball
bodies equal representation, and that

matters pertaining to differences be.

these did not exist. or could be

Baseball history gives MS a warning

kind was in 1884 with the National

The altitude of the aurora above the earths sur

opinion that the auroral light always enanates

that on the contrary, observations best recon

The question at issue may apparently be settled il
