The menace OF war In Europe is too

WHO JUMP
MAY ANSWER
IN COURT

NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-The signing
of Joe Tinker and Mordecai Brown
with the Federal league has renewed
the discussion in baseball circles re-
garding the legality of the reserve
clause. The present form of National
league baseball contract containing
this clause was drawn up by John
Conway Toole. an attorney of this
city. His views, which are timely,
are given In a statement published
here today. He said.
The reserve clause. so called, in
the baseball contract, Is nothing new
or strange in the law of contracts. 1t
is merely the application of we'll es-
tablished legal principles to a new
situation. The essentials of con-
tract. briefly. are:
Parties competent to make an
agreement
2-Something to agree on
"a sufficient consideration for
the bargain.
I'VE have all these requisites when
a baseball manager and a player get
together ana agree on terms. III, as
a part of a contract of service for
this year in baseball or in selling
goods, man gives to the employer an
option on his time for next year, is
1t anything unusual? Not at all.
The present contract goes beyind
that, however, and specifically pro-
vides that a portion of the salary
agreed to be paid to the player Is to
be regarded as direct consideration
for the privilege granted to the club
of reserving the player.
THE contract will stand the test in
court or elsewhere. you may be sure.
The players are as much interested
IN unfolding the reserve clause as are
the owners. If at the close of each
season the whole situation degen-
Grated into mad scramble for play
ers the whole system. which has made
$4,000 salaries possible. would go to
smash, and the good old days when
Radbourne used to pitch 10 games
and play 80 more in the outfield each
year for $1.400 might come back
again"
Mr.. Toole was former President
Thomas J. Lynch's legal adviser In
the Horace Fogel case a year ago,
and is attorney for the Boston Ma
tional league club.

year was one of the reserve for

BURNS SPIES ON
GUNNER At
OLYMPIC

Tommy Burns did little quiet gum
Shoe work yesterday afternoon when
he invaded the Olympic club for the
purpose of watching Gunboat Smith
go through his stunts for the benefit
of the winged co. members. 1t was
the first time that the former heavy
weight champion watched Smith in
action, and after i. was all over he
declared that Pelkey will surely take
the measure of the former tar on
Thursday afternoon.
always did feel confident that
Pelkey Is better man than Smith,
but now there is nothing to 1t, in my
estimation" said Pelkey's manager
after 1T was all over. Smith has not
got a chance, I tell you. Pelkey is
the winner, and just mark my words"
For long time Burns has been
very anxious to take a peek at Smith
in action in a real battle or with a
sparring partner. He could not very
well invade the San Rafael strong
hold of the Gunner. and he was at a
loss to figure out a plan till yester-
day, when he heard that Smith was
billed to box as the Olympic clubs
guest.
Tommy Immediately took the tip
and reported on the job. He sat in a
secluded portion of the gallery and
kept his eyes peeled. He noted each
and every movement of the man who
is to oppose his white hope on Thurs
day afternoon. and 1t was very ap-
parent from his expressions that he
does not hold Smith in very high es-
TEEN.
SMITH WORKS FAST
A great crowd of clubmen rendered
the Gunner a big reception when he
entered the gymnasium. He got
right down to business, first taking
on Jack Hemple for two rounds and
round sessions with Bill Sparka, a
big heavy weight from Kentucky. and
Otto Wallfisch, the husky Olympic
club boxer.
The Gunner seemed to make a big
hit with the clubmen. He was fast
and full Of pepper. He drew blood
from Hemple and Sparka, but he
seemed to ease down a bit when he
went against the Olympian. He used
his left to the head with good effect.
and he also showed nice right hand
swing and an unerring right hand
cross to the jaw.
opiHloHS dIHOuE the ciuDmen seem
to be very much divided. They saw
Pelkey in action at their home on
Saturday afternoon and two days
later Smith came along The latter
appears much faster than the big
Canadian. but at that, hundreds of the
Olympians like Pelkey's style, and
they figure that his great strength
will carry him through.
The Gunner Is much shiftier than
he was in his last appearance in a
local ring. He also possesses more of
variety Of punches and handles
himself with the grace of a light
weight. Judging from his appear
ance, Smith is a better man than he
ever was. He certainly ought to
make a great showing in this, the
most important battle of his career.
