Reserve Clause Needed.

The player may think that the re-
serve clause is bad thing for him be-
cause it prevents him from going to
another club that would give him
more. I'll admit that, and that's the
greatest safeguard the game has. Let
John McGraw have free rein to sign
UP whom he pleases and he would have
the greatest team of stars ever gath
cred together and the game would be
destroyed. as competition would be re-
moved
The player would suffer in the end
Just as the minor leaguers are suffer-
ing today from the base ball war. Be
cause the minors did not sell as many
players last year they are cutting sal
aries. A few players have benefited
by the disregarding of the reserve
clause. but the minor leaguers who
may be the big leaguers of five years
from now are paying for the bigger
salaries received by those few"
