said. some steps should be taken TO
relieve the players. once the season
opens, Mr.. Gallagher declares, the
Fan will brook no interference, even
on the part of Congress, which might
offer relief to the players and yet pos
siblN injure the national game.
The most audacious and autocrauc
trust in the country Is the one which
presumes to control a game of base
ball." says the resolution. Its officials
announce daily through the press the
dictates of governing commission;
competition is stined; territory and
games are apportioned; prices are fixed
which millions must pay TO witness the
sport; men are enslaved and forced to
accept salaries and terms or be forever
barred from playing"
Congressman Gallagher said he be-
lleved that the public will indorse the
sentiments contained In the resolution.
Steps must be taken he said, to break
up the trust, which is growing at a
more rapid rate than ever dreamed OF
by the founders and supporters of the
national game.
There Is no doubt but that the game
is controlled by a very few persons.
The strength of the trust" he con-
tinued cannot be estimated by the
layman. Not only do a few men con-
troll the big leagues, but these in turn
control the minor leagues of the coun-
