Policy Of Rstrsnehment Adopted BY
National citation.

National Assoei alton.
Omaha, Nov. IA horizontal re-
duction of 20 per cent In The salary
limit paid by minor league clubs was
the recommendation of the COMMITTEES
On constitutional revision OF the Ma
tional Association Of Professional
Baseball Leagues. II was adopted. 30
far as 1t concerned class A and class
B leagues. Leagues in class "A were
permitted to- revise their salary lists
as fitted their convenience and leagues
in the c and d class were given an
other day in which to agree on limit
that would be satisfactory to them and
make report today.
The recommendation OF the commit.
tee followed an address by Garry
Hermann, chairman OF the national
commission, In which he declared that
organized baseball leagues should have
salary limits which would be in keep
ing with the gate receipts.
Hermann told OF his conferences
with Federal league officials and de-
ciared all his talks had been IN an in
dividual capacity and not as a repre-
sentative either OF the national COM
mission or the Cincinnati baseball club.
The schedule OF salary limits was
then presented by Judge Kavanaugh.
of Little Rock. chairman Of the COM
mittee on constitutional revision. It
recommended the following limits:
Class "A, $1,000 per month: class A,
Southern association, $4,000: West
ern league. $4,000: class B. $4,000;
class c, $1,000; class D. $1,000.
These limitations were put on the
numbers OF players. Class AA, IS for
first twenty days and fifteen during
season: class A, 2s and Is; class B. "a
and II: class C, - and 1e: class D, %
and IL.
An important amendment was q
provision adopted for at least one exc
cutive session at each annual meeting
Of the association. This provision was
adopted, II was stated. to provide an
opportunity for league officials and
club owners to thresh out their grew
ances without the details being made
public.
There was considerable general talk
outside the convention Of what may
be expected to result from further
conferences between members Of the
national commits sion and officials OF
the Federal league. II seemed to be
the general impression that changes
would BIO made in the personnel OF both
the American association and the

LEGAL [zNC THE new NORTHERN LEAGUE IS BIG
TASK BURNEIIFR AND ASSOCIATES HAVE LAID OUT
FOR THEMSELVES; facing new ENEMY IN VIRGINIA

Legalizing the alleged reorganiza-
ton Of the Northern league is the big
task that has been placed before
President John Burmeister, Mike
Cantillon, Harry Blume Of Duluth,
and one or two others said to be on
the inside in the new move affecting
minor baseball in the northwest.
will be waged by H. A. Pulford, the
deposed Winnipeg franchise owner.
and the Winona club, Burmeister and
his associates now face new enemy
in the Virginia Baseball club, also
removed from the league.
AS near as can be learned. there
never was a meeting at which the old
Northern league was dissolved; IT
appears to be the contention of Bur-
meister, and other prime movers in
the new league that the old Northern
simply ceased to exist at the end OF
each season, and that it had to be
revived annually.
Elected for Three Years
There is one condition. however,
that remains to be explained, and that
is the action Of the Northern league
elected president for a period Of three
years. That, in itself, Pulford and
others who are fighting the new lea
gue plan, declare is sufficient proof
to indicate that the league is more
than year to year proposition-and
that the old Northern still exists.
Move Without Justification.
AS for the transfer of the Winnir'
franchise to F. H. Webb-whoever he
may be-there apparently is little JUS
tidcation. Burmeister and the other
prime movers simply maintain that
they have a right to dispossess Pull
ford because "he hasn't developed the
game in Winnipeg properly" Such
alleged neglect. it is maintained, has
particular reference to the mainte-
nance Of proper ball grounds-the
Winnipeg ball yard being miserable
affair, and hardly in keeping with the
importance of Winnipeg from a base
ball point Of view
The national commission will be
asked by Pulford to grant recognition
to the old league, and to refuse rec
ognition to the alleged new league.
His movement also will be directed at
Burmeister personally.

the gaze of skeptic baseball family.

trouble from the magnate end Of it.,
and there is movement on foot to
get rid Of Charlie Taft.

or affirming them will follow in the
wake Of the worlds series Then,

Grand Forks daily herald., 1914-10-03

the Northern league is based on the
plea that it would give a better at
tendance than either Grand Forks or
Fargo. and that, in the matter of
mileage. it is better situated.
Virginia. however, is hardly in a
way to make much Of fight, mas
much as Messrs. Coates and Finch,
the Virginia baseball magnates, have
been granted the Port Arthur, Ont,
franchise in the new circuit. Evil
IDENTIFY those two gentlemen are sat-
isfied, inasmuch as Coates has been
putting up all the money for base
ball in Virginia. it is hardly likely
that any very lusty cry will come
from that section.
Attitude of Others.
AS for Grand Forks and Fargo, the
North Dakota cities are satisfied to
stand aside and let the others fight 1t
out At least, that is their prese.
attitude.
Winona has Its war paint on. ready
for battle.
Duluth. Superior and Fort William
are all satisfied with the new arrange
ment. In fact. the head Of lakes base
ball magnates are regarded as being
pretty much on the inside in the mat
ter Of shaping the policy Of the pro-
posed new circuit.
Supported Game When Losing.
The Winnipeg baseball situation, Of
course, will attract the greatest atten-
ton. With a club that made Pulford
and his associates $4,000 during the
past year, deliberately conf1scated--
for that is what the proposed action
Of the new league amounts to. Pull
ford can be depended upon to make
case that will keep Burmeister busy
for some time to come.
Pulford has been In Winnipeg base
ball since the early days-from ten to
twelve years. Way back in the old
days, when the first Northern league
was reorgantzed, Pulford. Blackburn
and several others. backed baseball
in Winnipeg when 1t was a losing
proposition.
Now that it has approached the
point where it is a good investment,
they declare there is an attempt to
rob them Of their rights-and those
who know Pulford and his fighting
tendencies admit there will be things
doing.
High-handed, Says Dispatch.
That the proposed new league is at
Grand Forks daily herald., 1914-10-03

tracing widespread attention is indi-
Gated by the following comment by
the st. Paul Dispatch:
when James Farrell, secretary of
the national board of arbitration, gets
squint at all the angles of the re-
cent reorganization of the Northern
league. 1t is likely that Messrs. Bur
meister and Mike Cantillon will be
compelled to revise their plans mate
rally.
President Pulford of the Winnipeg
club, whose valuable holdings have
been converted into waste paper by
the stroke of a pen is raising a stem
torian 'holler' and he has made out a
good prima facie case.
IF the reorganized league profess
es to be within the pale of organized
baseball, Pulford cannot be deprived
OF his franchise at meeting of
which he had no notice and at which
he was not represented. He has val
liable property rights of which the
national board will take cognizance.
"Burmeister has been cunning for
the Winnipeg magnate for some time
and. failing to get him in any other
way. 1t looks very much as though
express purpose of giving the Winni-
peg franchise to those who were in
sympathy with him. To put it mildly.
this is a highhanded piece of work
that unless Pulford is concealing ma
terial facts, will not be countenanced
for moment by organized baseball.
"At present the new league con-
tains six clubs, but it goes almost
without saying that two additional
clubs will be taken in before the op-
ening of next season. Cities DESIRING
membership, doubtless will be invited
to make offers of what they are pre-
pared to do in return for franchise.
IF the present owners at Winnipeg
can be dispossessed Of their proper
in this high binder fashion, there is
no justice in organized baseball.
The Winnipeg organized ball fran
chise is valuable property. Even
now 1t is the gold mine of the North
ern league and in years to come when
the Manitoba capital is in a larger
and faster circuit, it will be a gilt
edged baseball investment. No won
der Pulford is not quietly submitting
to seeing it snaked away from him."
