League baseball club, issued a state
ment last night criticising the Base

result more seriously for the major
leagues than temporary annoyance.
Il believe that there never was a
time when closer relationship existed
between the club owners and players
than right now, and 1 should regret

fraternity, should persist in any atti-
tude toward the club owners that
might cause even the slightest trace
of passive ill feeling"
