NEW YORK, April I'm answer 10
the charges that the Base Ball Players
Fraternity was not observing its obh-
cations to organized base bail in refusing
to advise its members to respect the re-
servo clause of their contracts, President
David L. Fultz of the organization has
issued the following statement.
The fraternity has been more or less
severely criticised for not compelling its
members to regard the so-called reserve
rule contained in contracts of organized
ball. We have refused to do this. for one
reason, because We have felt that We
would be putting ourselves in very
questionable light by disciplining our
members for not doing something the
law might later decide they were not
bound to do. Had we taken this step
We would have run the risk Of not only
being unfair to our members. but OF
subjecting ourselves to actions at law
for unjust disciplinary measures.
IF this very troublesome clause is
tested. as now seems likely. We believe
the result will prove that We have been
wise in tine stand We have taken.
whether or not this clause is binding
been discussed with various lines of rea-
soping and with results which can in no
way be reconciled.
Many Different Forms.
Many persons apparently think of the
clause as fixed quantity whereas until
very recently there were almost as many
different forms Of it as there were
leagues in existence. As some Of these
clauses are undoubtedly without force,
and others, possibly good. no blanket
opinion can be an intelligent one, and
these which have been rendered without
giving the text of the particular clause
passed upon are, it seems to me,
valueiess
The reserve clauses as set forth in the
of 1913, and under which players who
have jumped to the Federal League must
be held II at all. are identical. and to my
mind are unquestionably uninforceable
There are two alleged defects in the
provision; first. its inequitable nature, in
that 1t binds the player for his entire ca
reer, while the club is bound for only
ten days; and, second, its neglect to state
what salary shall be paid under the con-
tract to be entered into. The first OBJ
lection is somewhat involved, and does
not need to be considered here, as the
second is sufficiently vital to rob the
clause Of any binding force.
This clause reads. in part as follows:
{" In consideration of the compensation
paid to the party of the second part by
the party of the first part as recited in
clause hereof. the party Of the second
part agrees and obligates himself to con-
tract with and continue in the service of

While the counsel for the Federal
League conferred their attack upon the
reserve clause of contracts i'll organized
base bail and the So-called ten-day
clause, permitting club to dispense with
Il contracted players services at any time
after ten days notice, the issue went
off at tangent when Judge Sessions
during the argument raised the question
as to the Federal Leagues moral rights
in the matter. Under hypothetical ques-
tons directed at counsel for the Federal
League the judge pointed out that KILL
fer and the management of the Philadel-
phia club are the parties to the contract
containing ten reserve and ten-day clauses,
and both have said they are satiSneo

operators own figures furnished the
