FAVOR UNIFORM CONTRACTS
National Association to Adopt
Stvle for All Leagues.

Columbus. Ohio. Nov. 12.-Five commit
tees were announced by President Sexton
Of the National Association of Profes-
s,onal Baseball Leagues during to-day
session. one committee was assigned the
problem Of devising a way whereby a
uniform style Of contract can be prepared
for players Of the five different classes VI
leagues affiliated with the organization.
The greatest obstacle now apparent
baseball men say, is the possible lnser-
ton of a clause requiring player to De
given notice of release ten days prior 10
the time the release can be made effec-
tive. 1t is understood that Glass A
leagues are willing to work under TINS
plan. but those in classes b. and ID do
not favor the idea Of having 10 carry ana
pay a useless player for ten days.
President Tearney of the Three | League
started a movement for reform in the
system OF drafting players. and was sup
ported in a fight against the practices or
major league clubs IN claiming large
number Of players and then making can
cellations of the drafts. 1t was voted
that there shall be no such procedure by
the National Association clubs.
The list OF requests from the Players
Fraternity was read. No action was
taken. II being left to the committee on
contracts 10 formulate course of pro-
cedure to be submitted to the convention
for ratification.

RESERVE DECISION ON FINN
Kolehmainen Brings Prizes Be-
fore Investigation Board.

The registration committee OF the Wet
ropolitan Association, which convened IN
secret session last night at the 81 bar
tholomew Athletic Club to Inquire into
the amateur standing Of Hannes koleh-
mainen, the Finn, declared a' 'he emu 'nde
IL had reserved its decision
The reason that the decision was re-
served was that the committee needed
time to examine the trophies submitted
by Kolehmainen.
1t was later said the examination of
the runners prizes might consume three
or four days.
William L. Jones, Of the Irish American
Athletic Club. in the absence or Terrence
Farley the clubs counsel, represented
Kolehmainen. On behalf of Kolehmainen
Lawson Robertson, his manager and
trainer, appeared, but was forced to await
the summons of the committee before
being allowed TO present the case OF his
protege.
The brothers brought many silver cups,
bronze statues and other emblems OF VIC
tory won by Hannes. These trophies
which his accusers declared the runner
had disposed of. were so numerous and
so apparently complete that some OF
those present declared that the runner
could have disposed of few, II any, OF
them.
Hannes Kolehmainen speaks so little
English and was so closely surrounded
by his friends. VINO appeared 10 doubt the
intention of any one who approached
him, that it was difficult to obtain an
interview. He declared through an inter
prefer that he felt first rate physically,
and was in no way alarmed over the In
Vestigation.
Much indignation was expressed by
members OF the Irish-American Athletic
Club on account Of the action OF the
registration committee.
The committee lifted the suspension OF

Dave Fultz the Target
in Speech by Hermann

on our, part to entertain any concessions
that might be fair and proper.
Betore passing from this subject ! de-
sire 10 state that the views as expressed
Dy me tonight are those of the members
oI the commission. In SO far as the Ma
tlonal Association and its players are af-
lected' the adjustment of these demands
are entirely In the hands of that associa-
uon and its national board.
Mr. Hermann announced that on last
Saturday the commission had received
twenty-six petitions embodying seventeen
suggestions for consideration. These
were followed a few days later by an ex-
planatory letter signed by nearly all the
players in the major and Class IA
leagues.
Taking up the matter of the outlaws
he said:
In the last two years we have seen and
read great deal about the United States
and Federal leagues, two organizations
not operating under the national agree
ment The commission has never gone
on record with reference to its attitude
with respect TO either of these leagues,
but we will do so now with reference TO
the latter as the life of the former has
already been ended.
Baseball is not, cannot and will not be
CONIluGu 10 lnOSe leagues, CluDS OF players
who operate under the national agree
ment. The game is open to all. Any one
has right TO engage in IL in any capacity
that he pleases. without any interference
on the part OF those engaged in organized
ball, and i may add there will be no in
reference unless il is done in retalia-
tory way when contractual obligations
or vested rights are illegally interfered
with.
Competition in all lines of business must
be expected at all times, and this must
apply TO baseball as in anything else.
When competition comes. II must be met.
and the question then to be determined
is the survival of the fttest.
In conclusion | desire to state that there
are two suggestions that the commission
recommends that the National Association
and SIS board give the most serious ana
careful consideration:
First-We are firmly of the opinion thal
the contracts between club owners ana
players I'm all leagues operating under
the national agreement should be OF a
uniform character. s
SecOnd-That a change in the rules OF
the National Association holding that Side
agreements are Illegal, unless etnoodled
in the players contract. should be inodl-
fed by qualifying such rules ana adulnS
thereto. "unless such side agreements are
sisned by both parties interested thereli'
or have been established by a preponder-
ance of the evidence submitted as haNlhs
been mutually entered into.

| ABE ATTELL To BOX
FOR HIS OLD TITLE
Finally COaxes Johnny KiIbane
Into a TWenty-Round Bout
on the Coast.
A DINNER FOR RITCHIE
Lightweight Champion Insists
That Leach Cross Be One
of the Guests-Campi
to Meet Williams.

Abe Attell the former featherweight
champion Of the world. will have "A chance
to regain his lost laurels. After two years
OF patient waiting and persistent chal-
longing the crafty Attell has finally
coaxed Johnny Kilbane, the present
champion, TO meet him in a twenty-round
battle on Washingtons Birthday before
Jimmy Coffroth's club in San Francisco.
1t was on the same day in 1912 that Kill
bane won the title from Attell after TWEEN
ty rounds OF boxing at Vernon, Cal.
Attell will leave for the Coast immedi-
ately to begin training for the fray. He
still has unbounded confidence in his abil-
ity, and has never admitted, even TO him
self. that Kilbane is his master. Atten
has always called Kilbane "parlor
boxer" who lacked the requirements OF
real champion, and said many times that
il he ever got another chance he would
win by knockout. Kilbane announced
shortly after winning the title that he
would never give Attell another chance,
because of the tactics the latter used dur
ing the fight. He said few months ago.
however. that Attell was IA has been
and could have return bout whenever
he wanted II.
A match has been made between Eddie

is rated by many as a coming champion,
and kid" Williams, OF Baltimore. The
bows have agreed TO box twenty rounds
at Tom McCarey's arena. in Los Angeles,
on December 13. The winner probably
will be matched to meet Johnny Coulon.
Williams defeated Campi in twenty
rounds in Los Angeles last winter. and
also gained the newspaper decision over
Johnny Coulon in a ten-round contest at
Madison Square Garden. He iS taNorlte
over Campi in the coming bout, although
the latter has developed wonderfully OF
late.

that Leach Cross whom he defeated on
