II ANSAS CITY, No, Oct Eff the
n major league players press the
demands they claim they will
make there is not a ghost of chance
to avoid a baseball war this winter.
Therefore fans, be prepared for a bat
tie unless the fraternity suffers a Sc
we're case of chilly underpinnings when
it is time to get out next spring and
prepare to draw the usual pay checks.
One of the demands it is set on max
ing of the national commission is that
the reserve clause be abolished This
is the one clause of the contract that
protects the club owner It does not
seem reasonable, even possible, that
the commission will allow this, in
view of the fact that without this
clause the club owners will find their
annual profits being used up in high
salaries, paid to players who will jump
from one club to another as their con-
tracts expire.
Protection for Fans.
Under the reserve clause a player
belongs to club after his contract eX-
pires without this clause clubs in
such cities of New York, Chicago and
Philadelphia, which can afford to pay
high salaries, would have all of the
valuable talent. This would result in
one sided races every year, with one
or two cities having a monopoly on
the pennant, and in a few years the
tremendous interest now manifested in
baseball would be sadly on the wane
The club owners adopted the reserve
clause for this very reason and it GER
tainly is a protection to the fans in
cities where clubs do not get rich an
nually, even if the players, who are
pretty well paid do say it is unjust
Plausible WAYS Out.
There seems TO be two plausible
Us for the magnates to abolish the
reserve clause and still get along.
This would call for a private agree
ment of some sort on their part which

could not, under any circumstances,
be broken.
One of these ways would be to
adopt an individual salary limit so
low that any club in the major leagues
could pay the amount This would
prevent wealthy clubs from getting
the cream of the talent by paying
higher salaries than other clubs could
afford. The second would be to have
a private agreement among club own
ers not to hire a player from another
club unless he was paid for or traded
for as is the case under the present
arrangement This would really mean
the retention Of the reserve clause IN
the form of an agreement between the
magnates, instead of a clause written
in the players contracts. The players
would have to play with the club they
were contracted with or quit, as is
the case today.
This Demand is Just.
Contracts should be equally binding
on the club and the player. This is
one demand that could be granted
without injury to either party II
player signs a contract for a year he
should be kept the entire year regard
less of accident or failure to show ex-
pected class. This would prevent the
signing of players for long term con-
tracts and would make the magnates
more careful about signing lot of
men they do not expect to use, thus
giving the players more freedom.
Experience VIII Tell.
The Federal league does not recog-
nize the reserve clause and all con-
tracts are equally binding on club
owner and player. However, it is
safe bet that the new league mag
mates, unless they have some sort Of
an agreement among themselves that
they will not take players from other
clubs, will find. after the league has
been established a few years, that the
club with the largest earning capacity
Will engage the most valuable talent
by paying higher salaries than clubs
in the smaller cities of the league can
afford.

Scoring Against Eastern University
Football Teams No Longer UncOm-
mon; DrOpkickers Lose Laurels.
New York, Oct 27.-As the football
season progresses the teams of the big
universities of both the east and middle
west are finding it more difficult each
week to keep their score states clear.
Time was when the colleges forming
the Big Six and Big Nine" felt that
their escUtcheOns had been blOtted if
the eleven Of a minor. institution scored
upon their team. With the coming OF
the socalled open game conditions
changed. Scoring against Yale, Har-
ward and Princeton IN the east and
Michigan, Minnesota and Chicago in
the middle west is no longer uncom-
mon. In most cases. however. the
score is made via the aerial route and
is due more. to the personal kicking
ability of one player than to the team
as a whole
During the early part of the present
season such scores were infreQuent and
the manner in which the little teams
were scoring on the big varsity eleV-
ems led TO a discussion at university
club as TO whether the modern kicker
was more proficient in his particular
part of football play than IN the past
It was the consensus of opinion among
the many former football stars that.
while the ability of the average col
lege dropbicker had advanced. the

to which their brilliant performances
entitled them.
In order to prove their contention the
oldtimers quoted some authenticated
field goals scored from drop and place
ment kicks that startled the youngsters
about the table 1t was agreed that the
60 yard drop kick field goal made by
Pat O'Dea- of Wisconsin. in the game
with Northwestern in 1898, formed the
record for this method of scoring. while
]. T. HaXan. of Princeton. held the rec
ord for a goal from placement with his
65 yard score against Yale in 1882 J. v
COwling, of Harvard, was credited with
Princeton in 1898, and J. z. Duffy. OF
Michigan. with a similar feat against
Cornell in 1891 Getting down to mod
ern times in football play records were
produced to show that John Dewitt,
the famous Princeton guard and kicker.
scored two so yard placement field
goals in 1902. one against Yale and
the other against Cornell Just to show
that such feats are occasionally accom-
pished in the present game. the case OF

He has also decided to pass up Bob

Higgins mOdestly admits that he has
two nifty young pitchers in Bill DOak

big help to Harry Sallee, who was
named by McGraw as one of the curv-
lists on the all-American nine Then if
he can land Hub Perdue from Boston
for Mowrey and Harmon and cash, he
will allow as how his team is no longer

meeting all the leading middleweights
in the country and beating most OF

writer's as the man who should sue
coed the late Stanley Ketchel, while
others have given the same credit to
McGoorty.
The knockout of Frank Klaus by

RFR CFR'S TERM IN CONGRESS EXPIRED


is chairman. Henry is a staunch
friend of the working class-just be-
fore election. It was he who took
favorable action on Berger's resolution
calling for an investigation of the
Lawrence, Mass, strike-just as the
democratic party was preparing to en-
ter a presidential campaign. But Mr..
Henry, after election, takes a differ
ent view of this New York struggle
in which thousands of women are
struggling against intolerable econo-
mic conditions. The resolution has
been pigeon-holed, and Henry refuses
to call a meeting of his committee to
consider 1t.
"The workers themselves are re-
sponsible for this defeat" said Berger,
because they have sent to congress
only one representative of the party
of the working class. If we had fifty
socialists in congress, or even ten So
cialists, even though we would be a
minority, we could force this resolu-
ton through. But one man alone can
do nothing but protest"
Postoffce Censorship
AS a result of the indictment of the
editors of the Appeal to Reason for
violation of the arbitrary postoffice
censorship, and within the past few
days, the suppression by the postof-
flee department of a series of articles
on sex hygiene which was being pub
lished in the New York Call, Repre-
sentative Berger has introduced in
the house a resolution calling upon
congress to investigate the postoffice
censorship of publications. The reso-
luton provides for a special commit
tee composed of members reelected
to the next congress and permits this
committee to conduct it's investiga-
ton after the adjournment on
March 4.
In Berger's opinion there is no ex-
cuse for this latest action of the post
office censor. The articles were writ
ten by Margaret G.4Sanger, trained
nurse, and dealt with the question of
sex hygiene in a dignified and scien-
tific manner.
"If we permit any petty officials to
decide what is obscene and what is
not, or what is dangerous and what is
not, then we might Just as well go
back to the middle ages and let the
priest act as censor" said Berger.
"More than any constitution in the
world, and more than all the juries
on earth is free and untrammeled
press the buiwark of liberty, and we
must guard it as such"
