indianapolis, Ind, December 30.-Or-

and as maintaining blacklist In case
intunctions are sought to restrain play
ers from playing with the Federal

day by Edward L.. Gates. of this city
counsel for the eFderal league.
Any baseball club that attempts to

ITO restrain u player from playing in

fronted with two very serious PROPOSE
lions; first. Is the commission IL trust

There is no doubt in the mind OF
any one, we tako 1t, that organized
baseball as organized under the
so-called national agreement, has
In the past monopolized the base
ball business, not only by attempting
to crush competition, but by tielng up

from the largest down to tho smallest
minor league club
DO tho clubs operating under the
national agreement maintain a black
scnted to and determined by a court
before 1T will enter into considera-
ton of the reserve clause"
In discussing the reserve clause, Mr.
Gates said:
Tho reserve clause liz condition
In the contract between tho club and
the player by VIII ich the club attempts
to hold tho player for q nominal sum
OF money, and yet not necessarily play
him upon tho club with which he has
n contract In other words. tho clubs,
by means OF this reserve clause. can
and do say We have you under re-
serve. We Will not play you on our
team this year. We will sell you 70
another club at large profit, and
they can play you"
Mr.. Gates declared the Federal
League has been consistent In it's pol
Icy not to enter into negotiations with
a player who has signed a contract TO
play the season of 1914 in either Of tho
National, American. or any OF the minor
