George II. Mosser. of the Chamber Of
Commerce, realizing the value of a
baseball club as an advertisement Of
city. has interviewed President
Charles +. Carpenter. of the Tri-State.
regarding the possibilities of placing
a club in Altoona next summer. Car
penter made it plain that unless
Johnstown were included in the
league. baseball would not be finan-
cially successful in Altoona. Investi-
cation in JOhnstOwn shows that the
religious wave there, following the
BILLY" Sunday meetings, has made
professional baseball dead" issue.
But Mosser has not dropped the

DEMANDS GO
BY THE BOARD
Refuse to ACCede to Request
That Major Players Con-
tracts Continue When Sent
to Lower Classification

NEW YORK, Jan 12.-John A.
Heydler. secretary Of the National
League. has returned to this city from
the meeting of the National ,ommis-
sion IN Cincinnati MIR Heydler
talked freely regarding the negotia-
tions between the Players Fraternity
and the National Commission point
ing out several items that had been
rejected by the commission, the most
important of which was the refusal
OF the minor leagues to honor the
terms OF a major league contract
when the player was sent 20 a minor
league Some of the details of what
the commission granted and re-
fused TO grant is found is the follow
ing interview with Mr. Heydler
"Thc request that the contract
terms be observed by q minor league
club securing player from The
majors will be turned down COM
llctcly." Mr. Hcydlcr said. After the
players committee had listened TO the
remarks of the minor leagues COM

much in this particular request A

ducton OF moro than 20 per cent. be

which the minor ieaguers did about

decided TO lcayc individual cases with

Now player who fee that his sal

put The case up TO the commission,
and that body will determine whether
he has been dealt with Justly This
compromise makes the commission a
sort OF jury on the worth of the
player and If the commission feels
that the player has not received
proper treatment from the minor
league club il will make a ruling ON
the mans salary which the minor
league must accept.
"The refusal OF the request that
waivers once asked could not be esre-
called was due to the experience of
