BOARD REJECTS
8 PROVISIONS
Only One Provision Pro
posed by Players Frater-
nifty Meets With Favor.

Cincinnati. Ohio. April 22.-Of the
nine provisions requested by the Base
ball Players, fraternity 10 be inserted
in what is known as the Fraternity
agreement. the National baseball COM
mission late Wednesday handed down
a finding allowing one OF the pro-
visions and denying three.
OF the other five, two were found
to already exist in the agreement; an
other existed in the agreement in a
modified form, making the provision
unnecessary in the opinion Of the COM
mission, one was Withdrawn and an
other dealt with minor leagues and
was therefore up to the national board
o. the national association
The provision that was allowed, No.
9, was:
THAT the commission and board fur
nish the arrangements in the various
organizations over which they have
jurisdiction respectively, with forms OF
release making provisions for the sew
eraI items of information required in
the agreement"
The provisions that were denied
were Nos. 8, 4 and s. No. was mOdi-
fled after being presented and in this
form reads:
"a player recalled by a club IN \
higher classification shall report to
that club either before the close Of
that season or shall be put on salary"
Notice of Release.
No. 4 says:
a club releasing a player outright
or OpuOnally shall serve upon MIN
written notice. containing in addition
to the date already mentioned in the
fraternity agreement, statement Of
the minimum amount Of salary he is
TO receive from the purchasing club,
which shall be a reasonable salary for
that classification
The commission held that the salary
Of a released player is purely a mat
ter of agreement between himself and
his new club.
No \ a1SO denied saws
when waivers are asked upon q
player the fraternity is to be noti-
fled"
The commission said this request
had been fully discussed at the meeting
with the fraternity representatives I'm
January, 1914 and that IF granted
would not help the players and would
add another avenue for publicity IN
matter that should be considered
strictly confidential"
Provision No. 1 was withdrawn. It
dealt with the salary to be paid play
er while under optional agreement
Provisions Nos. and 5, the former
dealing with the salary Of a player
between the time of his release and the
number Of days his release notice calls
for, and the latter dealing with pay
ing the travelling expenses of players
released outright or optionally TO the
purchasing club Both are covered by
the rules OF the national commission.
