BLACKLIST PLAYERS
Who JUMPED TEAMS
NATIONAL COMMISSION NOT TO
TAKE B OK MEN AFTER
OPENING OF SEASON.

NEW YORK, Feb. l3-The Ma
uonal commission yesterday fired the
hrst gun in the impending war with
the Federal league when it voted to
blacklist from organized ball every
player who fails to report to his club
on the opening day of the season.
After being closeted for some time
with the commission. the Players
fraternity joined hands with the COM
mission in the battle and announced
that when a player was barred by
organized ball he would automatically
suspend himself from the players or
ganiZation.
Baseball men anticipate that this
important action by the commission
and Players fraternity will have a
quieting effect on players jumping
to the Federals. The first batch Of
jumping players did not doubt that
in the event of the Federal league
not being able to finish the season
they would be forgiven and taken
back into the ranks Of organized ball.
The latest action of the commission
shows that 1t plans to do nothing of
the sort, and when the blacklist Is
put into operation on the 142 players
who are already claimed by the out
laws the ball players outside of the
ranks will be shown that organized

Barred Out Forever.
Under the present rules of the
blacklist, as adopted several years
ago, a reserved player who jumps is
barred for period of three years
before he ca nappiy for reinstate-
ment, and player under regular con-
tract will have to wait Ave years be-
fore applying for reinstatement. II
the commission chooses. 1t can bar a
player at the end Of that time and
bar him from playing forever.

which placed the ban on the Jump
ing ball players were Chairman Au-
gust Hermann, President Ban john

Stradivarius, the. Emperor now on

about violins that people do not un-
derstand. When they made them the
artists did not play them as we do
now. The old masters were very gem

adays we go at them sometimes like
animals. fairly tearing out the pusic
and putting the instruments to a strain
their makers never dreamed of. This
treatment shows on the instrument
sooner or later; it is bound to. The
violin gets played out; loses its reso-
nance can no longer give out the
same tone. This hiss happened to all
the vio1ins that have been used BY
the great virtuosi. Tae perfect IN
strument which I have been fortunate
enough to find has happily escaped
such treatment. never having been
owned by virtuoso before l acquired

will last as long as ] last. Such an
other does not exist in the world"
