Long Tom Refuses TO Obey
President GilmOre's Orders
and Join Brooklyn.
MAY JOIN THE PHILLIES

Tom Seaton may pitch with the
Phillies this year after all.
According to dispatches from the
lutely declines to join the Brooklyn
Federal League team. II will play
with Chicago or quit the league"
are the words he has used.
Owner Weeghman made every eff
fort to induce Brooklyn to let Chicago
have the star. He offered the Tip
tops three players in exchange, but
the offer was turned down.
At first President Gilmore, of the
Federal League, went on record as
saying that Seaton would play with
the Chifeds. as they have been
dubbed, but seeing that the Wards.
of Brooklyn, were determined to hold
bin, he changed his tack.
Weeghman was also convinced that
he could not get Seaton in a deal, so
he instructed Joe Tinker, his man
ager, to notify Seaton TO report at
once to Brooklyn.
Then it was that Seaton declared
he would play with Chicago or no
one else.
Baseball sharps see great signifi-
canoe in Seatons stand. To them it
looks as If Tom had tired of the in
dependents and was seeking n grace
full way of quitting the league.
1t is reported that agents of the
Philadelphia Club have interviewed
Seaton in the past ten days, and that
they were satisfied with the result
of their trip. The belief is sperad in
Philadelphia that Seaton's refusal to
join Brooklyn is the first step toward
his returning to the Phillies' ranks.

day afternoon issued statement in
which he declared that the fraternity
probably would protest against the
rule recently promulgated by the Ma

This rule gives the majors the right
To turn back directly TO the Glass a

leagues from which these layers We're
secured without giving the Glass A
teams a chance to bid Tor their ser
vices.
This new rule, as it is reported
the commission has made it, is in
direct violation of Section 4 of the
so-called Cincinnati agreement, !"
