CHICAGO, Dec. 25.-The annual

tending from Portland, Me-, to Tue

Contract Jumpers
In Baseball to Be
Put on Blacklist

Here Is what the national commits
sion says regarding the Federal
league in a statement issued some
time ago, but which only came to
light yesterday:
In the last two weeks we have
seen and read a great deal about the
United States and Federal leagues,
two organizations not operating un-
der the national agreement. The COM
mission has never gone on record
with reference to its attitude with re-
spect 10 either of these leagues, bat
we will do so now with reference to
the latter as the life Of the former
has already been ended.
Baseball is not, can not and will
not be confined to those leagues, clubs
or players who operate under the ma
tional agreement. The game is open
to all. Any one has a right to en-
gage in il In any capacity that they
please, without any interference on
the part of those engaged in organ
lied baseball, and il may be added
there viii be no interference unleas
it is done in a retaliatory way when
contractual obligations or vested
rights are illegally interfered with.
Competition in all lines of business
must be expected at all times, ard
this must apply TO baseball as In any
AnAuS clSc+ W IlCU comes
it must be met and the question then
to be determined is the survival of
the fttest. College players. semipro
players, free agents, the boys on the
lot. when entering the profession can
cast their lot within or without or
ganized baseball. This is a privilege
that can not and will not be denied
them.
When. however, players have af-
fixed their signatures to contracts
that have been mutual and satisfac-
tory, the commission will make an ef-
fort at all times to enforce all pro-
visions of such contract, whether 1T
affects the player or the club owner
In former years there existed a doubt
with reference to the reservation
clause In the players contract 1t be-
ing contended and probably correctly
so, that il was not an equitable ar
rangement This condition has now
been changed. A player signing a
contract containing reservation
clause is compensated for his action,
whether he is reserved or not. That
being the case, an effort will at all
times be made by us looking toward
the respecting of this. as well as any
other clause in players contract by
all of the parties to 1T. For those
players who do not respect their obli-
cations there will be no place In or
ganized baseball either now or In the
future and the same thing applies to
the club owner as well"

ball over the plate, and will give the
star batsmen their bases on balls just
the same.
This likely would result in a lot of
wrangling if the umpires attempted
to penalize what they thought were

were trying to put the ball over
