Crawford Never Tires
Of Playing Baseball

DETROIT, MICH, Nov. 15.-When
the bells ring out the old year Sam
Crawford will have achieved a new
worlds record. 1t is believed, for the
number of games in which major
league player has played in one year.
Crawford was in New Orleans all last
winter There he played once or twice
a week with some of the Winter League
teams they have down in that Southern
town, with Jimmy Dygert, former Ath-
letic pitcher, and others. he put In
eight or ten games there.
"Wahoo Sam forgot his holdout as
pirations early enough to get in on all
of the Tigers exhibition games on the
way North. These amounted to TWEEN
ty-five or so. He got In on every
game of the American League schedule,
and now he is playing every day with
the worlds tourists.
1t is roughly estimated that Sans
total games for the year, January ! to
January /, will be between 225 and $50.
This is a tribute to Crawford, who
keeps IN such excellent shape that he
never has to take a day off.
He is so careful of himself that he Is
seldom injured, and then he is in such
good shape that it does not take him
long TO get back into trim. Sam said
last spring that he could remember only
two or three times during his entire
career when he was out of the game
for more than o day or so at time
because OF sickness or injury.

reason sufficiently valid to be placed
In black and white, otherwise ii
should not be done.
The National Commission has al
ways had trouble getting the proper
evidence to decide cases brought be-
fore It, and we think that a number
of our suggestions, II adopted. would
go far toward simplifying its duties.
p EQUFST 16--Many batters have
~ been seriously injured because of
their inability to see pitched balls,
due to bad background. and we think
that the players are entitled to this
safeguard
p EQUEST 17-This provision Is ex-
~ tremely technical and can be thor
oughly understood only by one who is
familiar with baseball legislation and
the practical working of the waiver
rule The object which we are try
ing to bring about by this rule, how
ever. can be stated in very few
words, and is that a player should be
allowed to stay as high in his PROBES
sion as he can And employment
We concede organized balls right
, as said before, to trade or sell q
player but we deny it's right to send
him to a lower classification at a
great cost to his reputation, simply %
strengthen some team which II owns
or because II can get certain player
for him, when there are other teams
In the higher classification who would
be glad to get the player. BY this pro
vision we are seeking to do away
with these abuses.

Ten Years Ago.
HRIsTY MATHEwsoN is kin

y HRISTY MATHEWSON is king
Of all pitchers when it comes to
crossing the batters. Mordecai
Brown came closest to his ability in
this respect, but Big Six" goes on
through the ages as master.
Johnny Evers, a crafty batter him
self, was discussing Mathewson. The
manager Of the Trojans has the high
est respect for Christy.
Il don't believe Mathewson pitched
the same way to me twice all sea
son." remarked Evers. HE might
start out by blinking one little on the
inside, another on the outside, come
across with a fade-away and then
shoot a fast one across the plate while
l was waiting for something else.
THE next time | went up Christy
was liable to start out with fade
away, 5ink slow one on the outside,
follow with a fast one ara then an
other fadeaway. Consequently you
never could be prepared for the next
ball. For Matty knows exactly what
you can't hit and takes advantage Of
said fact"
Whether Matty Is the same to-day as
he was ten years ago is another ques-
from two to three more men during
a game on the average than he does
to-day. Then he had more stuff. To
day he pitches more carefully and
scientifically.
Evers insists Christy is fully as
good as ne was five years ago. 9th
ers will tell you the same thing. He
is never bad.
When Mathewson had all his stuff
on the ball, he was a whirlwind. He
might not have possessed the Same
speed as Johnson but he certainly did
have the old zip
Fvers tells how Matty used to cross
the batters then. He would work
the corners couple of times and
then shoot fast one across which left

Sheldon Resigns as
Coach for Indiana

BLOOMINGTON. md. Nov. 10
Jimmy Sheldon, for eight years coach OF
the Indiana University football squad,
surprised the student body to-day in
the announcement that he had handed
his resignation to President William
Lowe Bryan and DR.. c. J. Sembower,
head OF the Indiana Athletic Committee
Sheldon came to Indiana In 1905 and
previous to that time was a star end OIL
one of Coach Stages elevens at Chi
cago. Indiana never turned out a win
ming team until Sheldon took charge,
and this fact has endeared him 10 the
entire student body.

pEQUEST ARTICLE Is, section d, of
IN the national agreement says that
no side agreement not written in the
regular contract shall be binding upon
the club.
We want all provable contracts
held binding, as any other rule opens
the door for fraud. No explanation
Is necessary to prove the justice of
this request.
EQUEST s-An teams except those
~ In the National League furnish
players uniforms at the present time.
In the National League n player pays
each team he plays on $50 for two
uniforms; when he is transferred two
or three times season the expense
Is not only heavy upon him, but there
Is an economic waste. Old uniforms
are of no value to the player, but they
can be used to advantage by the team.
They are purely personal to tho
teams and should be paid for and
owned by them.
In addition there have been in
stances where men have paid for new
uniforms and received second hand
ones. or even, in the case OF pitch
ers. none at all, and have been COM
PEELED when they went into a game
to borrow from players.
ME think tho player should make a
" deposit which should be returned
to him provided he turns in his uni
forms at the end of the season, but
that the team should eventually pay
for them
p EQUEST s.-The stipulated form
IN OF contract says the team shall
pay the players travelling expenses
from - city to the training camp.
The teams have various ways of AL =
ing in this blank space, and some of
them have this season refused to pay
the players anything whatsoever upon
these expenses.
When 1t is considered that the play
er has left his winter occupation six
weeks before the season starts is not
under salary and Is performing In ex-
hibition games, in many cases at a
profit to his employer, 1t seems that
he should at least have all his ex-
penses paid.

President Baseball Players
Fraternity.

TIME petition of the Baseball
Players Fraternity, which has
just been presented to the Ma
tional Commission and the National
Board, is signed by nearly 500 play
ers, and embodies seventeen requests
for changes in contracts. This petit
ton has been in preparation for a
number of months, and represents a
good deal of careful consideration by
the leading players all over the coun-
try.
Many of the things asked for al
ready are accorded the players by a
few of the owners, which shows very
conclusively the justice of these re-
quests. Mr.. Hermann, Mr.. Johnson
and Mr.. Lynch are reported to have
said they are equitable, so we are
expecting no serious opposition
The significance of some of these
requests is not Immediately apparent.
and we, therefore, wish to give the
public at least hurried explanation.
p EQUEST AT the present time,
IN when a major league player re-
ceives ten days notice of his "un-
conditional release, he is not per-
mitted during that time to sign with
any team outside of the league in
which he has been playing. National
Agreement Article 6, Section 81
If team in the other major league
should offer him $500 per month and
a team in his old league 5000, he
must accept the latter offer. Thus,
Notwithstanding the fact that he has
received his unconditional release,
and that he knows he will be with
out a job at the expiration of ten
days, he can not do business with any
team out of his league.
We believe that he should, of
course, work out the ten days, but
that during that time he should be
absolutely free to contract for the
future; in other words, that an "un-
conditional" release should be what it
purports to be.
In the minor leagues we find a con-
dition even more unfair than in the
majors.
The minor league player receives
no preliminary notice of his release;
sometimes the whole thing is accom-
plished between innings, and yet by
article Is of the National Association
Agreement he is prevented for a pc
Rod Of ten days from signing with any

leagues, a regular contract shall be
entered into with him. But as no
penalty is provided teams have on
several occasions ignored the rule and
simply held the player without any
contract until they had a chance to
sell him.
p EQUESTS II and 12.-These pro-
~ visions are for the protection of
the veteran
We concede that organized ball has
certain property right In pur-
chased or drafted player, but we be-
lieve that this right has been worked
out in the number of years set forth
in the paragraphs. Records Of the
leading baseball statlstician of the
country, John j. Lawres, of Mllwau-
kee, who continued the work laid
down by Father Chadwick, show that
the big league life OF a player is
only four and one-half years.
When a man has given the best
years of his life to organized ball, Is
reaching the end Of his baseball ca
reer and is no longer wanted in the
class In which he has rendered serv-
ice, we believe he should be unham-
pered in his endeavors to secure a
position. and not sold under any such
contemplate agreement as Murphy
sold Mordeoai Brown to Louisville a
year ago.
p EQUEST l3-The withdrawal OF
IN requests for waivers Is used in q
great many cases to enable team to
trade a player to a certain minor
league team for another player. The
transaction works In this way: A
team asks for waivers and another
one refuses to waive. If the asking
team does not withdraw requests Il
must let the player go to the refusing
team
This II is not willing to do. as II
would thus lose its chance to get
the minor league player It wants. II
therefore withdraws requests. either
makes some arrangement with the
refusing team or waits until the re-
fusing team is loaded up with players
asks again for waivers and railroads
the player to the minors.
y EQUESTS IA AND 15-This pow
IN er to fine and suspend ia often
used to crafty a managers personal
spite, which would not be sanctioned
by the National Commission for a mo
ment. We believe that when a play
er's money is taken there should be a
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-11-16
II things. he can not do.

of things, he can not do.
To be consistent, organized ball
should guarantee the player coming
up q certain increase, but this IT does
not do; in fact, there have been cases
where the player did not get even as
much as he did below Again, when
the player goes back after failing to
make good, the major leagues compel
the minors to pay the same purchase
price as they received for him when
he appeared to be big league timber.
In other words, the minor leagues
have to guarantee that the player will
make good or the money is refunded.
If the minors had to pay only rea-
sonable sum for the returning player
they could well afford to meet the
terms of the contract.
p EQUEST 4EThere are several diff
IN ferent kind of releases in use, and
the player is sent from one team to
another under various agreements;
we contend that he has an absolute
right to know what these agreements
are in so far as they concern the
property right of an owner to him.
A player is often sent to another
team with absolutely no knowledge of
what the terms. of the new contract
are to be or whether he has been sold
outright or optionally.
We believe these things being of
vital Importance to him, that he
should be notified in writing just how
the obligation on the part of the
owner has been changed.
DEQUEST 5-These are two things
IN which affect materially the play
er's welfare, and we can see no posi-
BILE grounds for keeping these matters
secret He has a contractual right to
have the waiver rule fairly admins
tered: this rule is not one for the pro-
lection Of the owners alone. There
is surely no reason why these trans
actions shouldn't be had in the open;
no man in any other business would
permit a vital part of his contract to
be carried out or disregarded without
his knowing what was taking place.
. EQUEST 6--For some reason 1t has
IN always been the policy OF or
ganized ball not to give players cop
les of contracts. Ninety per cent of
the players were without copies last
season, preferring to be without them
than to antagonize their owner by a
forCeful demand.

team outside the league in which he
has been playing. Thus, in spite of
the fact that he is not in the teams
employ, that his contract has been
terminated, that he is not under sal
airy, he is forced to remain idle for
period of ten days unless one of eight
particular teams should want him.
Such a restriction upon a mans
right to earn a livelihood needs no
further comment.
p EQUEST when a player signs
IN a contract, accodr1ng to the con-
tention of organized ball, he obligates
himself to sign with the same team
the following reason, and so on in
definitely. The player is thus bound
for life, or as long as the magnate
wants him, while the magnate is not
bound for the fraction of a second
Is the player overreaching, there
fore, If he asks for a notice of ten
days before he can be cast adrift?
Should such mon as Dusty Rhodes
and Jake Gettman, who had given
years of service to organized ball. all
the while under contracts binding
upon them, be thrown out of job,
as they We're last summer, without a
moments warning?
p EQUEST 3-This request means
N nothing more nor less than that
we want a contract to be a contract.
II the magnate to whom a player is
traded or sold is to charge the con-
tract to suit his fancy, as he now does,
the instrument, as far as the player Is
concerned, is worthless. The player
is no incubus upon the owner the lat
ter always has the right to release
him, and this handicap the players
think Is quite sufficient.
Organized ball contends that the
player should not get his contract
salary when he is sold to a lower
classification. This theory would com
pei the players to guarantee a high
degree Of skill, which. in the nature

he has done this because Of lack OF

"If there were football games every
