1t is explained by Kirkpatrick that
he had not given Ebbets a chance
to make him an offer to play with
Brooklyn this year, clause which
was embodied in his contract reading
that Ebbets was to have first option
on his services It Is this "optson'
which the Federals attack and call
the illegal reserve clause. 1t is doubt
ful If any court can attach any guilt
on a club or a player who sells an
option on his services for the follow
ing year for % per cent. Of the
amount his contract calls for.
BY giving the option it is merely
meant that player must give the
club owner first chance on his serv-
ices the following season This is
just as binding as a reserve clause.
of course, because the magnates have
a "gentlemen's" agreement not to
tamper with the other fellows play
ers. Kirkpatrick believes that the
contract he signed with Otto Knabe
was Illegal because he neglected TO
give Ebbets a chance to make him an
offer. Kirk declared that he would
send back the $1,000 check he got
from Knabe for signing and that he
regretted that there had been q mis-
understanding.
Kirkpatrick will go South with the

other members Of the team he believes
that Wilbert Robinson will be a sue

like to come back to Newark, he re-
peated his former statements that he
never played in a better town and
that he would come here If Ebbets

to accept the Cincinnati agreement in
its complete form and the clause in

outside agreements which might, for
instance, provide for a special bonus
under certain conditions, were legis-
