BALL PLAYERS
IN BIG REVOLT
The Diamond Stars Are to Present a
Bill of Rights to the National
Commissioning Demand
Many Reforms.

Judging by the present state Of af-
fairs. IL looks as If our national game
win be 10 the imelight more than
ever this winter. There is consider
able talk Of another baseball war and
twelve city circuit being formed
Added 70 this is the fact that major
league ball players are drawing up a
magma eharta to present to the pow
ers Of organized baseball. They are
framing a bill Of rights TO present
to the national commission.
The ruling of the baseball commission
against the so called transforming
trips Of ball teams during the fall and
winter months coming on top Of the
rule compelling players to sign
twelve months contract seems TO have
brought the matter to head. and now
the players want to have a say in the
matter. The threatening war clouds
hanging on the baseball horizon may
cause the magnates to listen II the
case is properly presented. but they
are hardly likely to grant all that is
asked Ia this preliminary announce
ment since TO do so would seriously
disturb the present smooth sailing.
trust-like serenity OF the national
game This IS what the ball players
want:
"First--A clause in contracts deelar-
ing them free agents after playing in
one city for a limited term of years.
"Second,-In case of dispute between
player and club owner over the size
of the players salary board of arbi-
tration to pass upon the case.
Third Representatives on the ma
donal commission
"Fourth.--Six months players con-
tracts to terminate at the end Of the
league season. or compensation for
twelve months Of service if club own
ers insist on that time for their con-
tracts
Fifth Freedom TO play ball or en-
gage in athletic sports with teams
other than those in organized baseball
after the American and National
league seasons are over"
While there seems nothing unreason-
able In these demands, to grant them
in full would mark the beginning of
the end of organized ball, since It
would no longer be possible TO equal
lie the playing strength Of the teams.
The strong teams would grow strong
er and the weak teams weaker unless
the players were to sacrifice their own
preferences and follow along the same
lines that the managers are now pur-
suing 10 endeayoring to maintain the
popularity of the game. If they would
do that and do il as well as the mana
gers are doing It some Of the money
that now finds its way to the pockets
OF the club owners could be garnered
by the men who play the game.

year by finishing first in the fifth Van
derbilt, won Saturdays event from Joe
Dawson, driving Marmon, by the mar
row margin Of 25 seconds, John Aitken,
In the National, was only minute and
sly seconds behind Dawson.
The dry condition Of the country roads
in the back stretches was responsible
for many accidents, and the pressing
throngs about the barriers and into the
course, despite the efforts Of the police
20 restrain them, was also the cause
Of many of the casualties. The terrific
speed at which the race was run, the
daring of the drivers and the Indifference
Of many Of the spectators to danger,
were all factors which contributed to
the heavy toll Of disaster.
The race was the most elosedly con-
tested of any of the Vanderbilt cup
races, and with the two small-car events
run as unit with 1.-THE Wheatley
Hills sweepstakes and the Massapequa
trophy-brought out a record number
Of starters. The time of the three
first eais to finish in the main event
exceeded the best time ever made in
an American road race. Grant, by cover
ing the 2Ts.0s miles Of the course in
four hours, u minutes and 50 seconds
equivalent to an average Of 65 is miles
an our--established new American
record But az brilliant as was the
performance of the three winners and
as thrilling as was the race itself, the
horror caused by the wholesale MAIN
ing and killing, which attended it, cast
such a deep shadow over spectators,
participants and management, that it is
doubtful If another Vanderbilt cup race
is ever run.

err WHO once aftixes his name to con-
tract agreeing to play ball for any club
in the big leagues is never again a
free agent so long as he continues to
play good ball His likes and dislikes
in regard to continuing with the club
with which he first signed amount to
nothing. and he must stay where be is
so long as the owner or manager Of
the team desires his services. It Of
ten happens that players personal
preferences and family affairs make
him anxious to bring about change,
but under present conditions his only
hope OF being able to accomplish II Is
to play such poor bali that the mana
ger Of his team Is glad to let him go.
II he is ambitious and conscientious
he win hesitate about resorting to
such measures and as a result may be
compelled to continue on for year
after year with team with which he
does not want to play.
The new plan would place limit on
his servitude and then leave him
free agent TO 90 where he pleases I'm
der such arrangements there would be
fewer sales or releases Of bali players
and greater reward for merit since
the player, and not the club, would de-
rive the benefit for extreme popularity.
AS an instance, Ty Cobb would be free
to sign with the team of his choice aft
er having played. say, six years with
Detroit. while Eddie Collins would be
master of his own services after like
servitude with the Athletics. 1t would
surely be fine thing for the great ball
players, but It might prove damaging
TO organized baseball.
Dave Fletcher Of Cincinnati is prob
ably the instigator of the whole bust
ness But at that there is nothing very
unreasonable in the demands. Why
should a bah player who has per
formed his duty faithfully on the ball
field all season be told what he shall
and what he shall not do during the
six months period in which there is
nothing for him to do in his chosen
railing? The club owners have been
hiring him for six months In the year.
and now thcy want to tie him mp for
the other six months without paying
him any more money This is manis
testify unfair. and the players have
good reason FOR complaint particular
ly those who had PLANNED to add 10
their income BY playing ball during ths
of period

BROWN 81, NORWICH D.
Sprackling Gets Goal From Field--Two
veTmonters Laid Out.

Providence, R. l., Oct. 3.-The Brown
football team opened its season satur-
day afternoon on Andrews field with a
3l.to.O victory over Norwich university.
Brown started the game with vim,
making fierce attack In the first
period Brown lost the ball on downs
on its opponents one-yard line and failed
to score.
In the second period Brown rushed
the ball down to Norwiehs l5.yard line,
from where Sprackliug kicked goal
from the field. Tackle play soon
brought the ball to Norwich's fve-yard
line and Warner went over for a touch
down Spraekling kicked the goal
In the third period Brown once nad
the ball on the Norwich l0-yard line,
but failed to score, being penalized for
holding. Mckay scored a touchdown in
this period Browns forward pass eff
forts in the final period proved futile,
Sprackling and staff by line plunges,
soon advanced the ball to the Norwich
l9-yard line and Mckay went through
right tackle for another touchdown.
Two other tonchdowns were made by
Sprackliug and q. Adams, and Sprack-
ling kicked a goal.
Bremher. the Vermonters' left end,
was injured. his left elbow being dislo-
Gated. and Cannon, the center, was also
laid out. The summary;
