SYNDICATE
BALL in BAD
Tri-State May ReSCind Action
Permitting the Farming
Game
LEAGUE AFFAIRS
ARE NOW SHAPING UP

A concerted effort will be made at
the annual meeting to be held next
month to rescind the action taken at
the last meeting permitting the clubs
of the Carpenter circuit TO accept
"farmed' players from big league
teams. Many persons declare the ac-
ton was a mistake and the directors
in some instances. are eager to go
back TO the non-optional agreement
rule.
The optional agreement permits of
syndicate" baseball. Il allows one
corporation or one individual to own
more than one baseball franchise. A
big league manager may control his
own team and then purchase one or
more teams in lower class organiza-
ton This will work toward the
abolishment of interest. some declare.
and will destroy the municipal riv-
airy Of the cities where such clubs
are located. II is to obviate this pos
sibility that the Tri-State leaders are
considering resembling their action Of
several months ago.
Some leagues aside from the Tri-
State permit the use Oh farmed play
ers by the clubs Of their circuits
Some days ago the Detroit American
League purchased the Providence
club of the International League as a
farm for the Tigers. Cleveland
owns Toledo and Boston has long
been suspected Of controlling the Sac
ramento club of the Pacific Coast
League Other big league clubs are
suspected of controlling teams In
lower classes.
In the National League Charles
Murphy of Chicago. Is said to be the
owner Of the Louisville club. but the
other club owners in the league have
never openly admitted or been accus-
ed Of controlling any minor league
teams, though some have been accUs-
ed Of owning stock I'm clubs Of tho
National League other than their own
II looks as though the American
League was far in advance OF the
older organization in the matter Of
owning farms.
Big league control Is likely TO be-
come a menace to the minor leagues,
if carried on TO any great extent.
Either all of the clubs must BE- owned
hy clubs "higher up" or none OF them
should be- How can the owner OF a
minor league team whose interests
are controlled by q major league club
compete with a rival who secures all
the surplus material Of some big fei-
low?
The syndicate idea will eventually
break up the draft also. This can
readily be ceen when It is pointed out
Suppose one big leaape club is aftcr

a team that Is controlled bv another
man or league corporation. The scout
Is told upon applying to the supposed
owners Of the team that tho nlaver IN
question Is "owned" by such and such

There Is a rule In some ~ the hieh-
or class leagues prohibiting clubs
from carving more than a certain al
io'ment of PLAYERS. To get around
this the club prompetly secures some

ponder over the matter the more
convinced do we become that it will
never grow dangerous. We are pleased
to note that our conviction is borne out
by the statements Of baseballic high

all labor laws. including those relat-
ing to factory inspection, fire escapes
and sanitary conditions of factories
and workshops.
