Magnates May Hit al Play
ers' Fraternity with New
Style Contract
BY W. J. MACBETH.

The formal opening Of the winter
league season will be observed in New
Orleans Tuesday. This is the date Of
the annual meeting of the National
Association, the governing body Of the
minor leagues. which represents the
minor magnates, who will attend as
delegates.
Ordinarily conferences of minor
league owners attract but passing no
tice from the major powers. However,
this coming meeting seems for one
reason or another to be of exceptional
Importance. Most Of the owners Of
major league clubs have decided to
visit their humber brethren at the
rally. The members of the National
Commission have been invited Ban
Johnson and August Hermann prom
ised to 90; John X. 1ener was unde-
cided about the journey when he left

OF course, the major league club
owners have no voice in the National
Association. They are interested in
the sticks indirectly only in so far as
business relations in traffic of payers
is concerned. But so many Of them are
already in the Louisiana metropolis or
headed that way as to make it appear
that the gathering in New Orleans will
be more than the customary conference

affairs.

five years. For the last several seasons
il has become more and more evident
that most strict economical policies
must prevail if the sport is to thrive.
For the sport naturally depends to n
great degree on its business possibili-
ties. The public cannot expect base
ball to continue if the promoters are
forced to operate at loss. No doubt
the meeting in New Orleans will call
for better understanding between
promoters great and small as to ways
and means of providing the economical
ends.
OF course. there is one excellent rea-
son for major league interest in the
minor league meeting aside from the
several phases explained above. The
major game, as conducted to-day, en-
braces no end of detail. Players must
be secured from minor leagues, and only
the best can be used. Other players,
not Immediately ripe for fast company.
must be placed in slower company for
the purpose of seasoning.
The wise major league owners have
established affiliations with certain
minor league clubs. Frank Navin, of
Detroit. has effected profitable alli-
'ance with teams of several leagues.
These relations serve him double
purpose. 1t provides him the best pos
sible adjunct 10 scoutingsand 1t fur
nishes him an elaborate farm FOR his
extra players.

could not be officially confirmed-that
this occasion will be seized upon by
the major and minor powers to effect
an understanding in regard to certain
demands requested of them by the
Baseball Players Fraternity. The ma
ioritv of these concessions are neon
sequential; most of them have already
been granted in spirit by the major
leagues and the big minor leagues.
Since peace was declared between the
Federal League and organized baseball
a feeling of resentment toward the
fraternity has taken root In the hearts
Of the promoters in general lhose
who footed the bills of the war nave
not forgotten how mercenary the mem
bers Of the fraternity showed them
selves when it appeared the players
had them at their mercy.
Ban Johnson, president of the Amer
lean League, always has looked with
disfavor upon the administration OF the
players union. He saw IN 1t a mer-
cenary menace that tended 10 destroy
discipline. Bans attitude was not I'M
nroved by the recent stand of the
Fraternity executive. President DAVID

National Commissions right to discl-
Milne the athletic conduct of players

II is said that the death blow to
Fraternity encroachment will be struck
with proposed change in contract
form. At present baseball players are
under contract, in the most strict in
depreciation of the sense of the word,
for but six months OF the year. Dur
ing that time only, in semimonthly
instruments, do they receive their sal.
aries in full. 1t has been proposed TO
change this system in at least so far
as the major leagues and the greater
minor leagues are concerned. The
idea is a form of contract that will
continue in operation throughout the
twelve months of the year. 1t is be-
lieved that such contractural terms
would tend TO closer business interests
mutually. Players would be answer
able for their athletic life during the
off season.
Certain it is that the minor league
problem Of to-day calls for certain ter
ritorial adjustments. Last season was
a rather Improbable one for the little
fellows. Many of the leagues OF
humble classification were forced to
disband A few of those highly rated
had hard struggle TO complete their
seasons. The chief problem for re-
organization, of course. is TO utilize
the fertile territory while economizing
on mileage.
Two distinct causes contributed TO
financial losses in the minor league
wo-ld in 1916. The chief one was I'M
usually unfavorable weather the first
three months of the playing season.
The other was inflated playing values,
an afterclap of the late baseball war.
The chief source of minor league
revenue lies in the development and
sale of players TO clubs Of higher
rating. The 1916 major league market
had already been glutted as a result
Of the death OF the Federal League.
This unexpected twist came after the
major leagues had loaded up for 1916
with the customary wealth from the
minor league material When the
PLAYERS of a near-third league were alb
sorbed by the American and National
circuits, these, 10 make room for the
seasoned Federal talent, had 20 turn
back the 1915 fall crop. Consequently
there was little buying last year.
Again the larger minor leagues
which look TO the majors for farmed
players found these more expensive
than usual. The majors had 10 rid
themselves of lot of men who held
wartime salaries. Often they were
willing 70 let these 90 at great sac
rifice, but even these easy terms came
stiff 10 the operators who accepted
part Of the contractural burdens. espe-
cially in view of the business depres-
sion caused by unfavorable weather.
To certain degree the success Of
major league play depends on the
health Of the minor leagues. In small
time are developed the great majority
Of the stars who shine later in the big
show. Schooling is absolutely essential
to the development of the embryo Ty
Cobbs, Iris Speakers and Eddie Col
linses. Only in this way, which en-
braces, Of course, farming Of green ma
terial of class. are the major leagues
dependent on the minors. The Ameri-
can and National League club owners
realize that il is to their own advan-
tage TO help the little fellows all sAey
can.
The operating cost OF professional
baseball has doubled within the last
