ARE TURNED
ON MAJOR LEAGUES

ST. LOUIS. Mo.-Comparlsoh OF the
news handed out by Manager Brcsna-
han of the Nationals and Bob Hedges,
president OF the Browns. furnishes al
most conclusive evidence that there Is
n baseball trust. This time the major
leagues are the victims of class AA

cruts he will have to dispose of be-
fore the big league opening, or shortly
after SO has Brcsnahan.
Hedges started some time ago to
rid his team of several players he
would not need. and found the AA
leagues willing to take the men, But
the clubs were willing to pay only
$3.50.
While Hodges experience indicated
that the AA clubs made some sort OF
a "gentleman's agreement" there was
stu chance that the agreement, as
to price, was coincidence. But yes
terdny. when Bresnahan reached town
he came pretty near cinching the mat
ter. When asked how many players h,
expected to skid back into the minors
he said about 10, hut added that It was
