When Long Larry Mclean read
that 2Rollie Zeider, the Bunion
King, had stolen home from third
in Washington and thus scored
the winning run, he pondered for
a time, and then hunting up the
address of chiropodist he took a
cab and was soon in the office
of the hoof specialist.

my feet for me-" said Larry, who
frequently gets to second on a
three-base drive.
After a minute examination Of
Larry's gunboats the specialist
said: II am unable to find any
thing wrong with your feet. They
are full size and normal. What
did you think was wrong?"
WELL" replied Larry, this
here Zeider has got bunions to
burn, and he steals home. Now
thought you might hand me
something that would bring out

From the first move of the
Federals the powers of organized
baseball have been milling
around. contradicting each other,
and no one seemed to know what
to do. They threatened, bluffed
and delayed. Some wanted to
rush to courts, some wanted to
keep out of the courts. They had
every brand of advice possible
most Of which was bad.
Up to this point the Federals
had all the better of the argu-
ment, because they were united
and had a definite plan. The
American league also had a defin-
lite plan, which was to keep
baseball out of the civil courts.
The National league, as usual,
could not agree upon anything.
The situation now, briefly, is:
Organized baseball is prepared to
go to law-and does not want to.
The Federal league has all its
preparations made to defend
suits and to institute others-and
1t hopes to avoid either.
Neither party wants to 60 to
court, but the filing of the first
suit means the immediate filing
of dozen or more and a legal
struggle that may tie up scores
of players during the entire sea-
son, ruin some one and cost
every one involved an immense
sum.
Wanting to know something of
the legal aspect of the cases in
volved, / took two forms of con-
tracts. The names of ten lawyers,
authorities on contracts, were
supplied to me. I went to all of
them and got their opinions.
AS to the reserve clause, as
amended, seven believe it will
hold, two think it, would be
thrown out, one has no opinion.
AS to the ten-day notice of re-
lease told FORM eight thought no
court would uphold a contract
containing it. two were in doubt.
AS to the new form of contract
recently adopted at Cincinnati.
six thought 1t would stand in
court, three believed 1t would not
stand, one was in doubt.
AS to the Tinker case, eight
said organized baseball could not
hold him, one was in doubt, one
believed Tinker could be re-
strained from playing with the
Feds.
AS to the Killifer case, seven

Up to this time the local team

TAKE UP BASEBALL |

The loss of Orr, one Of the best
forwards on the College of Puget
Sound basketball five, has been
partially offset by the acquisition
Of Arvid Beck, star basketballer
Of the Methodists, a year ago.
Beck's position Is really at
guard, but he is being used at
forward. He is not in the best
shape yet, as he only turned out
to play about q week ago, and Ia
not thoroughly limbered up. He
has not been playing basketball at
all this winter. and Of course
this handicaps his playing to some
extent.

TEAM SHOWS CLASS BY BEATING THEM
Hpros At so TELLS OF PLAYERS V1croRY OVER OWNERS
ny HUGH s. FULLERTON

Boston's Braves are coming,
and by their wonderful work dur
ing the past month they have
established what promises TO be a
record.
After one of the worst starts
in the history of baseball the
Braves plugged along = never
quit, kept working and fighting
and during their last stay at
home they rallied and Stallings
got the team whipped into some
sort of shape. By the time they
were ready to start the Western
trip the team was working to-
gether, the pitching had improx-
ed, and the team has simply
waded through the league to vie
tory.
If Boston comes on now and
wins the pennant it will be prob
ably the most remarkable
achievement in the history of the
National game.
Do not think that the pennant
is an impossibility for the Braves.
Evers told me the team was
playing as much inside ball as he,
ever saw, but that weak pitching
and the breaks of the luck were
holding il back. Now IL is fore
ing it's way forward. playing bril-
liantly and, in fact the best in the
league, and it ought to arrive
somewhere when IL returns home
for a long series.
Organized baseball has met the
players-bluffed, and then sur
rendered. The victory of the
players in the Kraft case was due
entirely to the Federal league.
But for the existence of the out
law league Kraft would have
been compelled to submit to hav-
ing $3.50 a month taken from his
salary and would have had to go
where he was sent. The same
thing has happened a hundred
times a year and the players had
no redress. 1t would have kept
on happening but for the ex-
istence of the Federal league
and regardless OF the existence
of the players union.
The powers of organized base
ball last winter met the players
and signed an agreement They
did not intend to abide by that
agreement any further than IL
suited their magnificent pleasure.
They signed 1t because they
thought the players would be as
helpless as before to enforce any
demands. Not one player in 90
would have had the courage to
complain. Kraft has won his case
through the Intervention of Eb-
bets-but il will be a dear vic
tory. The next time he is sent
anywhere he will go-and that
place probably will be outside,the
pale of baseball.
