BROOKLYN CLUB WILL NOT LEASE
 SEMl-PRO FIELD

There was some talk in baseball cir cles yesterday that the Brooklyn Fed erals could not possibly finish their stadium at Washington Park in time to open the Federal league season in Brooklyn and were negotiating for the use of Nat Strong's Ridgewood Park.
 According to experts on building. the new stands at Washington Park must be finished by April N to be available for use on May 2, the date Brooklyn is supposed to open at home. According to a rule Of the building department a concrete stand must remain unoccupied for ten days. in order to permit the concrete to set tie, after which the wooden castings may be removed.
 It Is said that there have been ne gotiations between sthe Brooklyn Feds and Nat Strong for the temporary use of Ridgewood Field. Strong wants $5,0O0 to let the field for a month. It is said the Brooklyn Feds are only willing to pay g, 500.
 Treasurer Walter Ward of the Brooklyn Tip Tops says there have been no negotiations between his club and Strong, and denied that the Brooklyn team would play at Ridge wood.
 , Ward said his team will surely open the season at their own plant and that everything was progressing finely at Washington Park

 BASEBALL M0GULS
Says They Violated Agreement About Glass A Drafted
 Players

President David L. F,ultz of the Baseball Players Fraternity issued long statement yesterday, in which he strongly objects to the report pro- mfulgated by the national commission on Wednesday. Fultz claims that this report is direct violation of the so-called Cincinnati Agreement" His statement is:
 s.If the reported promulgation Of the national commission that players drafted from class A club are to be returned to that club before being submitted to class AA leagues in case of a release, it is in direct violation of section Is Of the Cincinnati Agree ment.' That section reads as fol- lows:
 's Before major league player sllal be released outright or under an optional agreement to class A or a lower classification, his services shall first be rendered to all class AA clubs at a price not to exceed $1,000, and then to all class A clubs at a price not to exceed $750. If he be a drafted player the club from which he Is drafted shall have prior claim to all other clubs in it's c1assification.'
 stTheS language is perfectly plain and makes no distinction between players coming from classification A and those coming from other classifi- cations
