Cincinnati, April 2l.-Of the nlns
provisions requested by the Baseball
Players fraternity 10 be inserted il
what is known as the fraternity agree
ment. the National baseball commits
sion late today handed down a find
ing allowing one of the provisions
and denying three, Of the other five
/ two were found TO already exist in the
| agreement; another existed in the
agreement in modified form, maxi
/ ing the provision unnecessary in the
opinion Of the commission: one was
withdrawn and another dealt with mil
nor leagues and was therefore up to
/ the national board or the national as
I ISOLATION.
The provision that was allowed, No.
( Q, was:
THAT the commission and board
furnish the arrangements in the va
rious organizations over which they
have jurisdiction respectively, with
forms of release making provision for
the several items Of information re-
CURED by the agreement"
The provisions that were denied
were Nos 3, and s. No. 3 was
modified after being presented and
in this form reads.
A player recalled by club in Il
higher classification shall report to
said club either before the close of
the season Of the releasing club or
Immediately thereafter and shall he
put upon salary.
The commission in denying this re-
quest says.
The effect would minimize the re-
call of optional players and thus ope-
rate TO the disadvantage of the play
ers
No. 4 says:
4 club releasing a player outright
or optionally shall serve upon him
written notice, containing, in addition
60 the date already mentioned in the
fraternity agreement. a statement of
the minimum amount of salary he is
to receive from the purchasing club,
which shall he n reasonable salary for
that classification.
The commission held that the sal
airy of released player Is purely
matter of agreement between himself
and his new club.

When waivers are asked upon a
player, the fraternity is to be notified.
The commission said this request
had been fully discussed at the meet
ing with the fraternity representatives
in 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"

dealt with the salary to be paid

ment.
