The attack on the national agree
ment and it's system will no doubt fail
for it will not be a difficult matter tt
show that under the existing system
alone can base ball be conducted along
successful lines.
1t will be a strong point in favor o.
the organization when the facts are
produced showing how the players
have progressed financially since the
two major leagues have been operating
under the national commission. The
cry about the minor leagues being con.
trolled will fall fiat, for the books will
show that the two major leagues nave
paid fortunes into the Golfers OF the
little leagues for their material every
year.
The bringing of the suit is proof that
the Feds are doubtful of their being
able to go through the coming season
It's promoters appear to be making an
ganized base ball, the only condition
under which they can possibly exist.
The acquisition of Larry Lajoie by
Connie Mack will cost the Philadelphia
club $4,000 for the next two years.
Lajoie's contract with the Cleveland
club does not expire until the end OF
the season of 1916. and it calls for
in his work last season he is not worth
that sort of a salary to any team, yet
his contract cannot be broken.
1t is, however, surprising that Mack.
who let out three veteran pitchers and
sold Eddie Collins because he wanted
to cut down the salary list of his club,
should agree to take Lajoie at that ex-
orbitant figure.
Lajoie, according to reports, is going
to be placed at second base, where he
will attempt to fill the shoes of Eddie
Collins.
That the National League will have q
revival of interest seems assured. The
