II should not be forgotten that the
American League is going to undertake
the novelty OF sending its players a
contract that will give the owners con-
troll of their services or athletic work
for twelve months in the year. There IS
going TO be a mighty howl over this
from some Of the men who have made
good money in the off-season by playing
exhibition games. Those players whose
homes are in the South or on the Pacific
coast are especially prone TO this prac-
tice and as il nets them many dollars
they are likely TO strike for an Increase
in wages to balance the prospective
losses OF next winter. Some of them
will not get the increase. but some will;
