HARTMAN AGAINST
BASEBALL SLAVERY
State Senator Frames a Bill
Which Deals Body Blow to
Organized Game

The first blow at organized base
ball will be struck by State Senator
Gus Hartman, who is carefully study
ing the situation, and plans to break
the socalled baseball trust in Califor-
MIA. Hartman will make a special
fight against organized baseball if he
is returned to the senate at the next
election, and the bill with which he
hopes to disorganize the baseball trust
will be founded on the thirteenth
amendment of the constitution refer
ring to slavery and involuntary servi-
tude.
Whether he is returned to the senate
or not Hartman declares that he will
continue his fight and he will have a
representative at the next session of
the legislature who will take it up.
While wars have been waged against
the organization by outlaw leagues it
has never yet been attacked from a
legislative standpoint.
Hartman's bill is framed from the
thirteenth amendment, section 1, which
reads as follows:
All persons born or naturalIZed IN the Onite0
States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are
citizens of the United States and OF the state
wherein they reside. No state shall make or
enforce any law which shall abridge the prlvl-
leges immunities of citizens of the United
States; shall any state deprive any person of
life. liberty property without due process OF
law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdic-
tion the equal protection of the laws
Hartman declares that a man en-
gagged in the profession of baseball is
a slave to the trust, and he must either
take what the heads of the organiza-
tion offer him or be denied the privil-
ege of playing the game.
Il am against organized baseball"
said Hartman yesterday, because it
denies a man engaged in that profess
sion the liberties he is given by the
constitution. 1t is slavery, if you an
alyze it thoroughly. good ball player
must go where he is directed, no mat
ter whether he cares to or not. He
may find a climate injurious to his
health or detrimental to the welfare of
himself or family. He is within the
power virtually of an organization
which can crush him out of his pro-
fession and deny him the means of
livelihood
And then again there is another OBJ
lection I have to organized baseball
The people on the coast do not see the
class of baseball they are entitled to-
We see great fighters and the best the
theatrical field has to offer, but when 1t
comes to baseball we have to take what
is offered after others have received
the cream of the field"
Hartman is an old time ball player
and an ardent admirer of the game. At
the last session of the legislature a bill
was presented to him by local civic
body to suppress Sunday baseball but
Hartman refused to father it. He came
to the coast in the capacity of ball
player, having been brought here by
Hank Harris, once manager of the San
Francisco team.

COLORS TO CHANGE
ON THREE JOCKEYS
Dugan to Ride for BedweH,
Shilling for HiIdrefh and
TapIin for Mckenzie

Deals that will switch the colors on
three of the country's greatest jockeys,
Shilling, Dugan and Taplin, were com
pleted yesterday. Dugan, as announced
exclusively in yesterdays Call. will ride
the Bedweu horses for most of the
balance of the season at Emeryville.
Shilling signed a contract to ride for
Sam d1ildreth from April to November
on the metropolitan tracks. Taplin's
contract was sold by Wizard Bedwell
to Rod Mckenzie, the Canadian turf
man, and he will probably be seen to-
day on Elfin Beau, Fort Johnson and
Desperate.
Dugan will ride this summer for
August Belmont but Sam Hildreth paid
$4,000 for second call on the boys
services. Hildreth will, therefore, have
both Shilling and Dugan riding for
him.
Shilling left yesterday with Bedwell
for Juarez and will continue to ride for
the wizard until April. Bedwe1l said
yesterday that he would return to
Emeryville in about three weeks.
Shilling may come with him, and if he
does will probably supplant Dugan on
the Bedwell horses as long as he re-
mains.
The negotiations for Taplin have been
going on for more than a week and
the boy has been on the anxious seat,
fearing that Bedwell would not let
him ride for any other owner. Taplin
has been out on the road daily and is
in good condition. McKenzies contract
on Taplin runs two years from March,
although BedwelPs contract with the
Jockey only ran to August.

Priest Found" COmiskey
Ia College Days

CHICAGO, Jan. 14.-"Columbus dis
covered America, but 1 discovered
Comiskey
That was the greeting extended to
Charles A. Comiskey, owner OF the Chi
cago American league club. and Ban
Johnson, president of the American
league, on their recent arrival at Ex-
celsior Springs, Mo. The greeting was
from Father ]. z. English, a priest of
the Omaha diocese, who was a guest at
the health resort.
Pressed for an explanation, it trans
pired that in 1874 Father English and
Comiskey were students at the Chris
tian Brothers college at Prairie du
Chen, Wis. English was a senior and
manager of the college ball team.
Comiskey. son of a Chicago alderman,
was an under claSsman-
The college team was contemplating
a trip and was short on pitchers. One
day Manager English was attracted by
the pitching of the Chicago lad, who
delivered a slow curve ball, a puzzler
in those days. 1t was the first curve
ball ever seen on the college grounds.
The manager decided to take Comiskey
on the trip. much to the delight of the
young pitcher.
