litigation which may help to settle the vexed ques-
ton Of how far player signing the contracts Of the

on the salary list of Il rival concern.
Tinker was under contract with the Cincinnati
on his services in 1914 The Cincinnati owners sold
the option to the owners Of the Brooklyn club, and
Tinker holds that the sale cannot bind him person
G!ly because he has stood in any cOntractual
relation whatever toward Brooklyn. The point FOR
the courts TO decide is whether an option on ser
vices given TO employer is transferable TO an
other employer without the acquiesCence of the en-
ploye himself In other words. is involuntary en-

stand ready TO enforce contracts interpreted by the
owners of baseball clubs sanctoning the sale by
them Of the services OF non-consenting players:
Baseball players have sometimes been called the
highest paid "peOns' in the labor market. Most Of
them willing to play the "peOn' role for the
money there Is In it. But if they not willing to
