TRAINER OF FAMOUS
CLAUSE ASSERTS IT
IS WITHIN The Law

New York, Dec. 31.-The signing of
Joe Tinker and Miner Brown with the
federal league has renewed the dis
cusslon in baseball circles regarding
the legality Of the reserve clause. The
present form of National league base
ball contract containing this clause
was drown up by John Conway Toole,
an attorney of this city. His views,
which are timely, are given in a
statement published here yesterday.
He said:
THE reserve clause, so-called. in
the baseball contract, is nothing new
or strange in the laws Of contracts.
1t is merely the application Of we'll
established legal principles to a new
situation. The essentials of q con-
tract briefly are:
First-Parties competent to make
an agreement.
Notwithstanding to agree on.
Third - A sufficient consideration
for the bargain.
1--WE have all these requisites when
a baseball manager and a player get
together and agree on terms. If, as a
part Of a contract of service for this
year, in baseball or in selling goods, a
mar gives to the employer an option
on his time for next year, Is it any
thing unusual? Not at all.
The present contract goes beyond
that, however, and especially pro-
vides that a portion Of the salary
agreed to be paid to the player is to
be regarded as direct consideration
for the privileges granted to the club
Of reserving the player.
THE contract will stand the test
in court or elsewhere, you may be
sure. ,rt
THE players are as much Interested
in upholding the reserve clause as are
the M If at the close Of each
season the whole situation degenerated
into a mad scramble for players the
whole system, which has made $4,000
salaries possible would go to smash
and the good old days when Rad
bourne used to pitch seventy games
and play thirty more in the outleld
each year for $1,400, might come back
again"

former Pres. Thomas J. Lynch in the
Horace Fogel case a year ago, and

League club.

The Duluth News Tribune said of the
meeting:
The failure of VIM. J. Sommer, own
er of the Superior Baseball club of the
Northern league, to pay back dues and
the seeming lack of interest in the
league displayed by Superior general
~, may result in the loss Of the club
franchise to the city across the bay,
according to the announcement OF
Pres. John Burmeister of the Northern
league.
Officials of the league met at the
/ SpaldinE hotel and after spending five
hours in discussion, unanimously de-
cided that holiday and opening dates
will be pooled by all clubs of the
league. The constitution upon which
! Mr.. Burmeister has been working for
three years was adopted, and the full
schedule of games was completed. ,
The eason opens May 7 and will

Mr.. Burmeister said that the sche-
dule will be made public within a few

KAVANAUGH IS
SURE OF ALLEN
ysRAND FORKS MANAGER OF NOR
THERN LEAGUE RETURNS FROM
DULUTH MEETING-sTILL CLAIM
ING FARGo-MoORHEAD CATCH
ER

Grand Forks Herald: Manager A. j.
kaYanaugh of the local club OF the
Northern league, returned from the
meeting held Monday at Duluth, well
satisfied with the results. On being
questioned regarding the Allen deal,
he said tina he had not been able to
meet with Cantillon while there, but
that he was practically certain that
the big catcher would wear a Grand
Forks uniform next season. He stated
that he had a contract signed by Nick,
with Frank Force as a witness to the
transaction. Further he said that AL
len would not play under Canttllon-
tina coming from Nick himself--that
rather h do that he would go to
the Federal league.
1t Is pretty certain that Cantillon
would rather see a man go anywhere
than to the Federal. being mixed up
with that league right now, and later
he will probably find himself in a
free-for-all fight with them. Mr.. Ka-
vanaugh tates that while he is fight
ing the Federal, Mike n he are not
doing any fighting, nor have they any
desire to fight. It will be a question
with Canti1lon of whether to let Allen
go to the Federals or come here.
Further thar securing the catcher's
signature and trading Edmunds for
McGraw, he had secured no new men;
He said that he wanted "Muggsie"
because of his stick work, The Flicker
tails were w~oefully weak in that de-
partment last year and the local man
ager is starting out to build 1t up, and
by his three additions, including Play
ing Manager Wheeler, he thinks that
ne has made a good start.
While he has not signed any more
men he states that he is getting two
pitchers from the Notre Dame univer-
sity team, whom he thinks will
strengthen that department materially.
He is sending out contracts to every
old member of last years team, wheth-
er he intends to use him or not, and
so far as he knows, all are ready to
return.
Regarding the announcement that
appeared in The Sporting News of. the
retirement of Jarnigan from baseball,
ne knows nothing. No word has been
received from him since he left, MFR.
Kavanaugh will look about for a sec
ond string catcher also, since he has
traded Jerry.
In speaking of the schedule passed
upon at the Duluth meeting. he said
that the season would open in Grand
Forks on May g. and continue for
three weeks, giving the city a good
look az an the teams from the begin
ming. FOR holiday. dates Grand Forks

UNION OF PLAYERS
WILL NOT AID OUTLAWS

New York. Dec. 31.-The Federal
league will have to stand on its own
feet-if 1t stands at all. Whatever
support it may have hoped for from
the Baseball Players fraternity will
doubtless be found lacking when the
national commission treats with this
body in Cincinnati on Jan. 6.
David L. Fultz, president Of the fra
ternity, declared yesterday that his
association, faC from being disgruntled
at the sway OF the ~triumvirate. stood
ready to ratify peace and good will if
the commission stood ready to pursue
it's broad minded policies of the past.
Not Fighting Reserve Clause.
I'VE have nc objection to the re-
serve rule" declared Fultz. 1--WE real
ize that whatever evil may be embod-
led in the clause 1t is absolutely es-t
senial to the good Of the game.
I'VE believe, however, that a player
/ who has served ten years with a club
should be given his unconditional re-
lease If his services are no longer de
sired In the major leagues. This will
save some the humiliation Of being
thrust back with some minor league
club.
"There have been instances OF
faithful veterans being sen back tc

to desert their colors. ~
AS a matter of fact, there are likel,
to be no more holdouts mex sprine
than in the past. Few major league
clubs sent out contracts until The
middle of January.
This season all the major league
presidents decided to await the settle,

delay was necessitated by the fac
that the 1914 form Of contract will no
be determined until after the Cincin,
