Moguls of Organized Baseball, Having Proved
Efficacy of Trust Methods, Will Not Long
Continue Expensive Fight.

I As We view il. every organized base
ball league is under the direction OF
and must bow to the mandates of the
nationH commission. Each leagne can
make its own minor rules, but when 1t
comes to anything drastic it is con-
pelled to do Just what the national COM
| mission dictates
7 A trust attempts to crush out any
competition that may arise. Isn't that
what organized baseball has done IN the
case of the Federal leaguef Haven Z
| they exerted every effort to block the.
onward rush of the new league that
| threatens to break up their monopoly
| in the baseball worlds
| Before the Federal league assumed
its present powerful proportions the
maior league magnates, III cities where
only one team operated. had no thought
of transferring a minor league fran
chise to that city and providing con-
tinuous baseball.
Meet the Invaders.
Charles w Somers, owner of tbe
Cleveland American league club aud al-
so owner of the Toledo American asso-
citation club, was perfectly satisfied TO
have the teams operate III their re-
spective cities. But now, since the
Federals have shown that they really
mean business, Somers has decided 10
shift the American association team
from Toledo to Cleveland. He's doing
it not so much because he wants to
provide continuous baseball Tor tue
Cleveland fans as he is to ferestall an
invasion of the Federals-
Charles II. Ebbctts. owner OF inc
BROOKLYN National and the Newark In
ternationa league clubs, never gave
thought to transferring the NewarS
team 10 Brooklyn until IL was rumored
that thr FederaIs would .put team

BY FRANK G. MENKE.

NEW YORK, March lis there q
| baseball trust?
There is, say we.
"There ain n't,p assert Messrs, Herr
man, Johnson, Tener, ct al.
Well, then, let S see.
"a trust,'' remarked Mr.. Webster
| the well-known assembler Of words ''ls
combination formed for the control OF
several generally competitive corpora
tions under one direction. It's object
is to reduce expenses, regulate produc-
I tion and do away with or otherwise
! overcome competition, and thus domi.
nate the market and obtain maximum
return for the capital invested.
Doesn t that about fit the description
Of organized baseball?
What happened about ten or eleven
years ago when the American league
showed that it had become as great a
baseball power as the National league I
Did the two leagues continue to WACO
warfare on each other9 Did the mag
mates continue the practice of paying
big salaries to players to keep them
from jumping TO the rival outfit No,
they did not. They combined forces.
They figured that competition WASH u
beneftting anyone but the player.
Combined After War.
And what happened afterward7 The
two big leagues then combined, and
the combine decided to take the minor
leagues 'funder their wing In other
words, it coaxed the minor league
teams to join in tho National agree
ment. where they would be bound by
the dictates OF the ruling powers OF the
two big leagues.
The major league leaders pointed out
to the minor leaguers the big benefits
the minor ]eaguers would derive from
this action. The minors would get the
protection of the majors, and the
minors would have tho privilege OF
selling their star players to the major
leaguers. IL was beautiful little
argument-and the minors 'fell -
for it.
But in passing ii might be said that
the major leaguers sought ont the minor
lenguers and bound them mp with such
an agreement, not so much because
they loved tho dear little minor
leaguers, but because such an agree-
ment would prevent the minor leagners
from some dav rising up and asserting1
they were major leaguers. IN the same
wnv that the American league did IN |
