BIRDIE CREE SENT

Victim of Walter Johnson's
Speed No Longer of
Major CaIiber.

"Birdie' Cree, not so long ago 6
mighty outfelder, who has been with
the Yankees since 1908, has been re
leased TO the Baltimore club of the In
ternational league. Nobody in the ma
jor leagues wanted him. He is report
ed to have received large offer from
the Federal leag@, and it is quite pos
sible he may yet jump to the outlaws
rather than play with minors.
Jack Dunn, manager of the Orioles
is so anxious to hold Cree that, the
story goes, he has offered him salary
CT $4,000 TO sign.
The little out6elder began to show
the effects Of long service last season
He was stocky man even in his prime
and in spite of his best efforts could
not prevent the coming of Hthe base

In all probability, however, the chic
factor in the decline Of Cree was neithe

1877 games, and he was going along a
the same rate the next year until on'
day the speed man from Washington

the rockies back to their clubs after
they had developed.
This spring it g going to be some
thing different. The Federal leaguers,
it is said, will have agents stationed
in all the towns where the organized
major leaguers train. and Will sign up
at once all the rockies that the organ
lied major leaguers intend to send
back
The Federal leaguers claim that in so
doing they will be perfectly within
their rights. and that they will not in
any way break their rule which bars
them from signing men under contract
When recruit who has signed major
League contract is turned back to the
minors, his major league contract is
cancelled, and until he signs up a con-
tract with the minor league club to
which he is sent, he is held only by the
reserve clause.
To circumveDt the Federals, tho only
thing the organized majors can do is to
keep every promising recruit. Most
likely they would do this, even though
it increased their pay roll to huge pro
portions, but the national commission
rules provide TINT no club can carry
more than twenty-five players after the
middle OF May, II seems that the only
way the organized persons can foil the
Federals is to have that limit lifted im-
mediately.
