Nothing Gained By Printing A Lie.

Honesty of purpose and the deter

the Record. The decent newspaper
wants to print the truth. There is
nothing to be gained by printing a lie.
A lie is business boomerang. A news
paper reputation for reliability is it's
stock in trade. Inaccuracy is a cardinal
sin. There are black sheep in every

ROYAL Welsh Ladies Choir Pleases Large
Audience.

r That Lancaster people appreciate
good music, was evidenced by the fact
that a large and appreciated audience
greeted the Royal Welsh Ladies Choir
last Wednesday night. 1t had been pro-
claimed as fine organization, and they
made good all that had been said of
them. The choir is unique in a way,
being finely balanced and fully
equipped collection of women singers,
with a woman as conductor, who
directed her chorus with dignity and
intelligence. The soloists were receiv-
ed with applause and the chorus work
was revelation of fine singing that
the unsteady inclined people in the
audience will not soon forget.

CONTRACTS MUST Be
MUTUAL, SAYS JUDGE
First Official Expression Made in Re
cent Years Concerning Base
Ball Documents.

HOT SPRINGS. Ark, March 27.-The
first official expression made in recent
years by a judge concerning the valid
ity of the contract generally used in
organized base ball came out here dur
ing the hearing Of the petition filed
by Howard Camnitz, the Pittsburgh
Federal twirler. praying that the court
dissolve the temporary injunction Sc
cured against him by Barney Dreyfuss.
Judge Henderson, who heard the
arguments of the attorneys, stated that
the players contracts must be mutual
before the Pittsburgh club has any
that he would issue an order requiring
the contracts of the Pirate players
to be brought into court If tine injunc-
ton Is to be continued.
On the question of whether the play
ers' contract now in force in the Ma
tional League Is a mutual contract
hinges the final outcome of the case.
which is continued until Saturday.
1t was learned here last night that
there is little chance of Dreyfuss sub
hitting the contract of his players to
the court. The injunction secured only
restraints Camnitz from tampering with
Pirate players while they are In the
state of Arkansas
Counsel for Camnitz during their
arguments in court intimated that the
case would be taken to the highest
courts in the land SO that the matter
could be determined. but they will
hardly have the opportunity of doing
SO. Mr.. Dreyfuss is not worrying about
the outcome of the case.

NEW YORK, March 27.-David L..
Fultz, president of the Base Ball Players
Fraternity. is up in arms once more and
strongly objected last night to the pro-
mitigation Of rule by the national com
mission Wednesday. which, he contends,
is in direct violation of the so-called
Cincinnati agreement"
In behalf of the fraternity President
Fultz made the following statement:
"1f the reported PRONUNCIATION OF the
national commission that players drafted
from Glass A club are to be returned to
that club before being submitted to Glass
AA leagues in case of a release, 1t is In
direct violation of section IS of the Gin
cinnati agreement That section reads as
follows:
Before a major league player can be
released outright or under an optional
agreement to Glass A or lower classi-
fication, his services shall first be tend
cred to all Glass IA clubs at price not
to exceed $1,000. and then to all Glass A
clubs at price not to exceed $3.50 If he
be drafted player. the club from which
he is drafted shall have prior claim to all
other clubs in it's classification
1.-The language is perfectly plain and
makes no distinction between players
coming from classification A and those
coming from other classifications.
Nor does the time when the player Is
turned back alter the situation. The
commissions alleged ruling holds that
this section does not apply to drafted
players within a year of their draft or
purchase. 1t is hard to see how any
such construction can be placed upon the
wording of this agreement.
This section, as is evidenced from its
language, was designed to be a general
one, with no exceptions whatsoever, and
this was thoroughly understood at the
New York conference.
This trouble has arisen because Of a
protest by the Glass A leagues, which

ager and two stars assure Detroit's base
ball public that the team of 1914 viii be a
winner.
Hugh Jennings George Morarty and
Tyr,1s Cobb have written their tickets on

Mississippi watering town and they de-
clare that the only thing that can keep
serious injuries injuries that would af-

George Moriarty and Tyrus COBB go

Detroit has pennant contender Jen-
nings strings along with the Athletics

ers, but Jennings predictions are one
thing and his hopes another.
Moriarty and Cobb combine in saying
that the present team is better than any
Detroit outfit since 1909 and this means
well, it gives assurance of something a
whole lot better than sixth-place club.
Cobb's interest in the team and its
prospects is best shown by his presence
