that the Military Athletic League will

quence of the squabble over the anna

The A. A L. oficials have decided to

taken against the basketball teams Of

The A. a. L. claims that many Of the
soldier players are professionals and de-
rnands their elimination. The military
officials say the A A. L. has been die
tatorial and has no right 70 interfere.
The A. A L. retorts that IL has no wish
to dictate 20 the military athletic ON

NEW YORK. Dec. 24-Harry Pulliam,

has just come out with a strong indoTse-
ment Of the views Of Garry Hermann
on the baseball trust question.
Hermann some time ago stated abso-
lutely that baseball Of the organized
variety IS not a trust, and stated his
reasons for so believing at grest length.
Pulliam's statement is even stronger
than Hermann The National League
pI esident says:
1 do not consider organized baseball
a trust. trust, as I understs nd Il, is
a combination for controlling the aeces-
stiles OF life or public utilities. and has
for its main object the despoiling OF the
producer and the wage-earner. The an

tortion Of the consumer. The only bene-
fciary OF a trust Is a small circle that
dominates the trust.

organized baseball. the interests Of ev-
cry one concerned are protected and the
wage-earner is benefited more than all.
