DALI PLAYERS NOT SLAVES
President Lynch of the National
League Takes Exception to
Statement In Magazine.

ut is ridiculous to say that baseball
Thomas J. Lynch of the National
league, cor that there is any condition
resembling slavery in baseball
This comment was made after
Lynch had finished reading story in
a baseball magazine which insinuated
that the club owners were bunch of
Simon Legrees.
Il do not suppose that the writer of
the article l have just read was ami
mated by spirit of malice in making
his deductions, but he wasn't familiar
with his facts or with his subject.
81 am In position to know wheth-
er baseball players are slaves, for
have had to inspect and promulgate
almost 800 contracts since l have been
president of the National league. |
would like to place these facts before
the baseball public:
Ball players are, as a rule, the
best paid men in any profession you
can name and their work is not a
hardship. The majority of players
love to play ball, and they get paid
for doing it. Look at the matter in
this light:
"The player who gets the smallest
salary In the big league receives as
much for one days work of two hours
as the average man gets for a weeks
toll of from 81 to 60 hours. do not
see where the slavery comes in.
"The writer of the article I am
criticizing paid lot of attention to
the matter of buying and selling play
ers. To develop a man who can DO
sold to club higher up is the hope
of every minor league team in the
country. The player who is sold ad-
vances in his profession and the club
that developed him gets some return
for the time spent In bringing the
athlete to the attention of the per-
sons who are willing to pay him a
higher salary than he has been re-
ceiving.
IF slavery exists in baseball, 1t is
rather strange that so many bright
young men, possessed of college edu-
cations, have entered the game in the
last ten years in preference to any

EnaIand,s Oldest School.

A controversy has arisen in England
as to which school has the right to
claim greatest age. There are two
schools which were founded in the
early part Of the seventh century-the
Kings school, Rochester, and the
Kings school, Canterbury. Justus, on
his appointment to the see of Roches-
ter in 604, made provision for school
in connection with the cathedral. Au-
gustine established the Canterbury
school about the same time. st. Pc

"The sailor, after long voyage"
he said, went ashore in the tropics,
and, it being hot day, he drank, IN
certain tropical bars, too much beer.
"As the sailor lurched under his

He was the small son of minister

twelve boys in one bedroom, and eleven

boy would show true courage"
