CHICAGO. December 31.-In a sensa-
uoHal statement last night Ban johnson,
president of the American League. said
a base ball war was the one thing needed
to save the game and that he hoped the
Federal League would prove strong
enough to give good account of itself
For his own part, President Johnson
said. he welcomed the issues and was
ready to do battle
Il hope the Federal League will prove
a success he said. a revolution in
base ball is needed and a bitter war will
tend to purify the game. The club own
erS have become extravagant and waste
full and the players, with their continual
demands for higher salaries, have helped

restricted last night when the National
Collegiate Association just before final
adjournment adopted resolution pro-
hibiting colleges and universities allow

Foresees Disastrous Year.

1t Is a fact ! cannot explain that the
American League was the only league in
the country that as a whole made any
money last year. Minor league base ball
men have told me that 1913 was the
worst year they have experienced in a
decade. 1t was one of the most dis
astrous years in the history of the Ma

which have been allowed to go along

Discuss the Reserve Clause.
The signing of Joe Tinker and Morde-
cal Brown with the Federal League has
renewed the discussion in base ball circles
regarding the legality of the reserve
clause. The present form of National
League base ball contracts containing
this clause was drawn up by John Con-
way TOole. an attorney of this city. His
views, which are timely. are given in a
statement published here yesterday. He
said:--2
THE reserve clause. so called, in the
base ball contract. is nothing new or
strange in the law of contracts. 1t is
merely the application of well established
legal principles to new situation. The
essentials of a contract briefly are, first,
parties competent to make an agreement;
second. something to agree on. and third.
a sufficient considerat ton for the bargain.
I'VE have all these requisites when
base ball manager and player get to-
gether and agree on terms. If as part
of a contract of service for this year. III
base ball or in selling goods, man
gives to the employer an option on his
time for next year. is it anything UNI
usual? Not at all.
The present contract goes beyond that,
however. and specifically provides that
portion of the salary agreed to be paid to
the player is to be regarded as direct con-
sideration for the privilege granted to the
club of reserving the player.
Contract Will Stand Test.

uphOlding the reserve clause as are the
owners. If at the close of each season

mad scramble for players :he whole sys-

Difficult Problem.

While all of the speakers We're unani-
nous in the opinion that college sport
suffered b. reason Of students earning
thei! living on the diamonds of organized
base ball clubs during the summer and
also representing their colleges in sup
posedly amateur sports. their suggestions
for remedy came near leaving the per-
picking question for later solution. No
doubt was expressed that college men
still play summer base ball and that they
receive a creditable income from it, and
several speakers expressed the opinion
that such participation in professional
company should not act bar to anna
teur standing of the players.
BY adopting the resolution barring sum-
mer ball players and other athletes en-
gagged for pay from participation in in
tercollegiate contests the association took
u middle course between the plan advo-
Gated by DR.. Harry l.. Williams Of the
University of Minnesota. who urged that
summer base ball players should be eX-
PEELED from the college if they attempted
to compete in another sport as amateurs,
and that by George Huff, who believed
that the college man could be pro-
fessional in one sport and an amateur in
another.

Urges the Minnesota Plan.

DR.. Williams urged the adoption of the
plan in operation at Minnesota, by which
a student suspected of having played pro-
fessional base ball is forced to sign an
affidavit that he never had received
money for playing, and as a penalty the
man making false affidavit is expelled
from the university. This method was
success at Minnesota, he said. In answer
ing criticisms that eXpelling man would
be too heavy a penalty, DR.. Williams de-
cared that if amateurism was worth
anything it could not be upheld unless it
was taken seriously.
DR.. Young of Cornell University sug-
gested a One-year residence rule and a
three-year limit for playing on college
teams to stop PROSECUTING. He also adj
vocated that the men play on a scholar
ship basis as possible means of barring
professional athletes on school teams.
