AMERICAN MAGNATES
READY FOR Meeting
Fans Expect Moguls to Use Pruning
, Knife on Players Salaries.

Chicago. Ill, Dec. 13.-How far will the
American League magnates vote to re-
trench next season? What players are
to feel the effects of the pruning knife in
the vicinity Of their pay checks?
This is one Of the most important sub-
jects which will be brought up for dis
cussion and action at the annual meeting
Of the Ban johnson circuit booked for
Chicago tomorrow.
Baseball is about to be placed upon q
safe and sane basis. The day of the
high-salaried player OF mediocre ability
Is past. The club owners are going to do
the debating now-there's a reason for
this, too-viz: No Federal League to
cause trouble.
President johnson and his associates
always manage to side-step trouble and
embarrassing situations.
!, The meetings this week will be the first
since the Federal League war. and the
question of the players salaries will be a
fruitful topic.
Most of the high-priced. long-term con-
tracts ended with the playing season last
fan, although a number run through the
coming campaign. Those players who
earned their money will not feel the re-
duction to any great extent, but for those
who failed to deliver the goods and de-
Hberately held UP their club owners
well. we are going to hear a multitude of
walls later on.
Hugh Ward and Harry FraZee, the men
who have an option on the Boston Red
Sox, Will either be given the glad hand
of fellowship and admitted to the Ameri-
can League, or else they will be rejected
The chances are, however. that Messrs.
Ward and Frazee will become full-fiedged
magnates.
The passing Of Joe Lannin, former Red
Sox owner. is sure to be regretted by the
American League moguls, for during his
short stay he was a tireless worker for
the good Of the league and did much to
aid two minor league clubs who were
threatened with humiliation by the Fed
eral League,

COAST LEAGUE NAY
BECOME AN OUTLAW
National and American Leagues Must
Meet Minor Circuits Demand.
BY I0E VILLA

by JOE villa.
New York, Dec B-Unless the Ma
tional Baseball Commission, with the
approval Of ,the National and American
Leagues. decides to yield to important
demands which have been iled by the
minor circuits there win be another base
Dali war, although Il will not be con-
quoted on big scale. The Pacific Coast
League, which comprises San Francisco,
Los Angeles, Portland. Oakland. Vernon
ana salt Lake City. viii head this move
ment by Withdrawing from the protec-
tion OF the National agreement. thereby
becoming what is known as a baseball
outlaw" The Coast League has SEMI
representatives here this week to join
forces with the International League ana
the American Association In a deter
mined night for the removal Of the draft
RUE. In other words the Class AA
circuits want the right to hold or sell
their players without submitting to dicta-
ton. The Coast League men say that
tney VIII not accept a refusal of these
demands without declaring war on Or
ganized Baseball
The National Commission, It In said.
VIII receive instructions from the two
major leagues to turn the minors down
cold. At least. that Is the program
mapped out by the big baseball leaders.
III the Coast League decides to tumr
the traces the majors can take away
some Of their valuable players who are
not under contract for 1917 But it is con-
hdentiy believed that the International
League and the American Association
will not decide to break away from the
rebuffed.
As a matter of fact the international
League is under heavy obligations to
some Of the big league clubs for past
favors, and, President Barrow's relations
with the powers that be are extremely
cordial. But the American Association,
1t is said, has incurred the enmity of
President johnson, Of the American
League. by electing Hickey to the presi-
dency Of that circuit In place Of Chiv-
ington- The American League, there
fore. is opposed to granting the minor
leagues demands. and will receive the
backing OF the National League in q
fight to a finish.
At yesterdays meeting OF the Inter
national League the club owners voted
to ignore a ruling Of the National Com
mission In the claim of c. h Ebbets.
Of the Brooklyn club. against the New
ark franchise. The claim, which was
filed last February, amounted to s74ooc
cided that Ebbets was entitled to about
$4,000. Ban johnson, in a dissenting
opinion, declared that Ebbets had No
legal claim.
The refusal Of the International League
to abide by the decision of Hermann
and Tener is a radical move, which
probably will result in a suit for
damages In the Federal Courts. II is the
first time on record that the commits
sion's authority has been disputed, ana
it clearly illustrates the present dissatis-
faction of the minors with the way the
sport is controlled by the big fellows.

ing the Brooklyn club of the National

President Johnson said he had urged
President Barrow, of the International

the National Commission. but that Bar
row had insisted the only safe course
was TO leave the question to the COM
mission. He said Barrow feared Presi-
dent Ebbets, of the Brooklyn club. would
begin court proceedings against his or
ganization. Johnson said he had not
taken the same view in the case as his
colleagues on the commission. but that
he disapproved the international Leagues

New York. Dec. A-Four fun hours
were put tn By the moguls Of the National

the conclusion It was announced for the
benefit Of q palpitating public that 9
eommittss had been appointed 10 draft

q former president Of the league; that
provisions had been made 10 relieve the
distress Of John II. Day, former presi-
dent Of the New York club; that the pro-

to . committee, and that Q provision had
been made, including All players under
contract to . club IN the players limit.
regardless Of whether or not they are
actively engaged IN the services Of the
club.
There you are. What arguments and
controversies arose to string the session
through four hours were not divulge0
Even q casual glance win sufice to show
that the above list Of activities required
but very slight time. Wherefore arises
speculation Of multiple form as to just
what was really going on behind the
closed doors Of the meeting.
Those who Sprofessed to be In "the
know" charged that the league moguls
were merely marking time pending the
beginning Of the American League meet
ing N ChcaSO tomorrow, IN order TO
see just what President Byron Bancroft
johnson and his colleagues are going to
DO with certain issues that the two
leagues are facing Jointly. In other
words, h appeared that Hhs National
Leaguers were merely making . counter
play to johnson in his action Of calling
the conclave Of his league two days
after the other fellows swing into action.
At any rate. prominent figures In minor
league circles. who are expected to deai
quite . hand IN the threatened scramble
between the majors and miners hiked
away for the Windy city today. Among
these were Edward Barrow. president Of
the International League; Alien Baum
and Thomas Hickey. who hold the same
American Association respectively, as
wsTl as several club owners Of the latter
circuit
way to make such proposals and sub
were made to the National Leagne meet
They concern principally relief from the
drafting privileges In certain quarters,
and the formation of q new high tribunal
in baseball to consider controversies.
They, Of course, concerned and are d.
rected to both major leagues. And the
action on the part Of the minor leaguers
IN going before the meetings Of the two
organizations is considered a drive direct
to the base of complaint, In preference
to an appeal to the National Commits
sion. Owing to the nature Of the two
matters, no immediate action can be
apficIDafed
