CINCINNATI, Feb 2..--F'rank Chance.

seen on FIRST base for the New York
Americans this year. The Information
comes from Trainer Doc Barrett, VINO

He thinks, and think he can stand the
strain Of training as well as he did last

island he was about the fastest and most
aggressive player on the squad.

my mind that he will don the spangies

The document bristles With surprises.
II was said recently that the fraternity's
contention for "A rule whereby player
could not DO sent down to league OF low
classification without all leagues OF inter-
mediate classification having a chance to
bid for his services was turned down In
toto as ponderous and impracticable.
However. tho eighteenth clause Of the
agreement reads thusly:
Before major league player shall be re:
leased outright or unoer optional agreement
to class or lower classification his ser
vices shall nrst be rendered to all class
clubs at a price not to exceed 1000 and
then to all class clubs at a price not TO
exceed $3.50.
II s agreed that no player shall be
transferred TO another club OF the same
classification without the latter assuming
the salary and all other conditions Of the
original contract. Tho salary Of player
transferred to lower classification IN case

tional Commission IL he Ia q major Lacquer

the right OF appeal to the National Com
mission. Major leaguers must receive
ten days notice and minor leasuers fivo

leased unconditionally. In case any agree
ment between player and club is not en-
bodied In the players contract the con-
tract Is null ana void and the club is fined
$500 II q major and 500 II a minor league

a player who has been IN service IN
the major leagues In any part Of ten
different years cannot be sent TO clubs
Of lower classification arbitrarily. II the
club can get waivers on him all II can
do is to release him outright. The same
applies to players OF fifteen years SER
vice in Class IA or higher.
Clubs must give each player two COM
plcte uniforms. must pay all expenses 10
training camps and all his expenses with
the club on the road.
The gem Of the whole agreement Is the
fifteenth clause: mo League or club shall
discriminate against any player because
