Hen Berry leaves for Fresno tomor-
row sometime to meet representatives
of the various State league teams fol-
conference regarding the proposed
organization of that league as class
B member of the national agreement
The State league magnates are all com
ing around now, and inasmuch as
Berry has a proposition to make to
them along the same lines proposed by
them to Berry recently 1t looks very
much like a compromise agreement and
the organization of the clubs into q
class b league. This also will mean
that one club will be located in Los
Angeles, thus solving the continuous
baseball situation.
It is greatly desired by all concerned
that Berry succeed in his negotiations
with the State league. There really Is
no good sense in the stand of the State
league clubs against organized baseball
if their demands, as heretofore outlined
are. met, as in that case they will be
able to retain their circuit and more
will hold all their present players sub
iect only to the draft rule, and will be
extended the same degree of protection
and aid that is given other class e
leagues. Berry and the other Coast
league magnates will render every
possible or desirable aid in establish
ing the new league upon firm and
sound basis, so that all clubs VIII be
able to play regularly scheduled games
throughout the several weeks of the
playing season and show profit at the
end. Everybody will be everybody s
friend and harmony and good Will, i'm
portant assets of any baseball organi-
cation, will prevail In both leagues on
the south coast.
Such an arrangement will be to the
material profit and welfare of both
leagues, but will be more profitable ia
the State league clubs than the Coast
league teams Instead of playing two
games a week and paying princely
salaries to their players, the state
league clubs will be able to keep their
players at the class B salary limit, con-
siderably lower than now is recognized
as the limit in that league and can
play four. six or seven games week
