PRESIDENT CoRIsH WOULD PRE-.
VENT OUTLAWS FROM TRAIN
ING IN THE SOUTH,

| Savannah. Ga, March 6.--President
I Nick Corisn, of the South Atlantic
I League, has taken up the cudgels for
n fight against the Federal League.
Corish believes that proper co-opera-
ton on the part of the major and fast
, minor league clubs in the matter of
the selection of training camps would
block the outlaws from the most ad-
vantageous training camps OF the
South. He has been instrumental In
instituting proposed reform present
ed tn the national association in the
following resolution:
Whereas IL has come to the at
tention of the president and directors
of this association that two Federal
League clubs have closed contracts
for the purpose of spring training
within its territory; and.
whereas, we deprecate the idea
of Federal League clubs coming In
contact with players of organized
baseball. and
whereas. II Is practically impos-
sible for the minor leagues to protect
themselves against the evil influence
Of Federal League clubs without the
CO. operation of major league clubs
and.
Whereas, Il has been customary
for most major league clubs to do
their spring training outside the con-
fines of organized baseball. which
practice Ia detrimental to minor
leagues Of those sections in which
such training liz generally done; and,
"Wher ,as the protection afforded
by the contract labor laws OF certain
Southern states offers Inducements
which are unusual; therefore be II
Resolved that this association, In
meeting assembled, requests the ma
tional board of arbitration of the ma
tional association OF professional
baseball leagues to use It's good offices
to have major league clubs. wherever
possible, TO do their spring training
hereafter within minor league circuits
Of orga nizcd baseball.
Resolved further. that copy of
these resolutions be spread upon the
minutes of this association, and that
q copy be forwarded to the national
board OF arbitration"
