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 payed in one year.
Crawford was in New Orleans al 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-fve or 50. 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 !, viii be between 225 and ESQ.
This is a tribute to Crawford who
keeps in such excellent shape that he
never has to take q day off
He is 50 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 day or so at a time
because of sickness or injury,

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
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
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 a hurried explanation.
PEQUEST AT the present time,
when major league player re-
CeiVes ten days notice of his ''uu-
conditioner 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 8, Section 81
If a team in the other major league
should offer him $500 per month and
a team in his old league $500 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 nm
conditional release should be what it
purpOrts to be.
In the minor leagues we find 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-
pished between innings and yet by
article 25 of the National Association
Agreement he is prevented for a pc
riod Of ten days from signing with any

Sheldon Resigns as
Coach for Indiana

BLOOMINGTON, IND. Nov. Is
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 Or. c. j. Sembower
head of the Indiana Athletic Committee
Sheldon came to Indiana in 1905 and
previous to that time was star end on
one of Coach Stages elevens at Chi
cago. Indiana never turned out win
ming team until Sheldon took charge
and this fact has endeared him to the
entire student body.

EQUEST Article IS, section Il, 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.
p EQUEST San teams except those
IN in the National League furnish
players uniforms at the present time.
In the National League a player pays
each team he plays on $50 for two
uniforms; when he is transferred two
or three times a 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 the
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 al all, and have been com
PEELED when they went into a game
TO borrow from players.
ME think the 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
= EQUEST 9-The stipulated form
N Of contract says the team shall
pay the players travelling expenses
from --- city TO the training camp
The teams have various ways OF fill-
Ing in this blank space, and some of
them have this season refused to pay
the players anything whatsoever upon
these expenses
Whensit 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 al a
profit to his employer, it seems that
he should at least have all his ex-
penses paid,
p EQUEST l0.-The proba tionary
IN contract runs for 40 days, and
the national agreement says that if
at the expiration OF that time the
player is not returned to the minor
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-11-16

of things, he can not do.
To be consistent, organized bail
should guarantee the player coming
up certain increase, but this 1t 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 a rea-
sonable sum for the returning player
they could well afford to meet the
terms of the contract
ID EQUEST There 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 now
the obligation on the part Of the
owner has been changed.
DEQUEST 5-These are two things
IN which affect materially the play
ers 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 vital part Of his contract to
be carried out or disresarded without
his knowing what was taking place.
pEQUEST 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.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-11-16

leagues, a regular contract shall be
entered into with him. But a 40
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
a certain property right in a 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 statistician of the
country. John" j. Lawres, OF Milwau-
kee, who continued the work laid
down by Father Chadwick, show that
the big league life Of a player is
only four and one-haif 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
ConlenpLlDle agreement as Murphy
sold MoTdeCai Brown to Louisville a
| year ago.
| = EQUEST 13-The withdrawal of
N requests for waivers is used I'm a
great many cases to enable a team TO
| trade 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 II
must let the player go to the refusing
| team.
This it is not willing to do. as it
would thus lose its chance to get
| the minor league player II 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.
p EQUESTS IA AND 15-This pow
IN er to fine and suspend is often
used to crafty a managers personal
spite, which would not be sanctioned
by the National Commission for mo-
ment. We believe that when a play
er's money is taken there should be a

when G.. O. Lee. who had the room
next to Culbreath, heard him talk
ing delirously This was especially
noticeable about o'clock and the
attempt to take his life must have
been made then, for when Mr. Lee.

Of clotted blood. which had evidently
