BALL PLAYERS AND THE TRUST.

ORGANIZED baseball has been called the worst trust of all, since it
of the Federal league to break up the bodies operating under the National
agreement ts a n event in American athletic history.
Ordinarily the sports settle their W quarrCls by the codes prevail
ing in theic own field. Baseball is 81 deeply ingrained in our life that the
courts have to determine its more serious disputes.
The bill players have been called white slaves. Yet 1t is hard to
get excited ver the su1enngs of men working for $4,000 to 10000 per.
professional baseball years ago was little better than prze fighting. Pool
and liquor selling OF backgrounds was the general rule. Ball players
we're egai ded IS rowdies, and very frequently lived W to their repu.
tauon.
To-day baseball is o n a far higher basis. Many college men and other
fellows of nigh character have turned IT into n reputable business. Still
there is a tendency to regard agreements loosely and contract jumping"
has been very common.
1t is qGe possible that in order TO maintain n needed discipline, the
big leagues have turned the screws several times tighter than they
should in INV and Justice. The courts will pass o n that point, and the
public viii! suspend Judgment.
Meanwhile ball players can still further advanced their standing. and
gain added freedom, by cultvaung a reputation for business methods in
the signing and keeping of agreements. A thousand Collars extra ought not
to look to hem, II they could only realize what uncertain property they
become vi on once they jump their contracts.
IN HIS latest magazine article o the war in Europe, Mr. Roosevelt
says that President Wilson, "lamelysubniued" to the wrong done TO neg
