But impressive as the naval parades will
be. and ~colorful as will be the pageants,
there is no question but that the greatest
popular interest attaches to the airship

the celebration. Just what the perform

of the atmosphere and the willingness Of
the aviators, but the program calls for a

WARNS AGAINST FREE AGENTS
Commission Tells Clubs 10 Protect
Themselves by Contracts.

CINCINNATI. o., May 1S.-In announcing
the decisions on cases of free agents. -
the National Base Ball commission warns
the clubs under the National agreement
that they should protect their interests by
making all players sign contracts. Jersey
CITY sent Arthur Degroff to Wilkesbarre.
Jersey City wanted the player back. but
Degroff cleaned he was a free agent. The
player has proved his case. but the com
mission says clubs in the future should
put no player on the payroll without maxi
Ing him sign a contract. Degroff had none
with either club.
w. b Kay, who was turned adrift by the
Washington club some time ago, also put
in q claim that he was a free agent. The
Commission, however, refused to allow his
claim. Kay is ordered to report to the
Washington club at once. Kay is
at present playing with the Troy,
N. Y, club although he has been with
several other teams since Washington sent
him back to the minors.
