DIES MONIES CLAIMS PAYNE.
Will Try to Get Money When Pitcher
Goes to CHICAGO

The management OF the Des MONIES
baseball club promises contest Tor
possession OF George Payne, pitcnes,
loaned by Marshalltown to the Boost
ers at the close of the Central asso-
citation season. The claim of the Des
Moines club is that Payne had not
been paid his salary IN full by the Mar
shalltown club and is attempting to
take advantage Of a ruling by the ma
tional commission which is in conflict
with a decision from Secretary Farrell,
Of the national association. in which
he held that minor leagues disband-
ing before the end of the scheduled
season might retain all property rights
provided players were paid salaries IN
full to the date Of suspension.
The Des Moines club was given the
use OF Payne after Marshalltown had
paid the player in full to Aug. :. The
date Of the suspension OF play in the
association. Later Manager Boyle sold
Payne to the Chicago White Sox for
5000 and Dies Moines now seeks to col
lect the purchase money on the ground
that the player was not paid to the end
Of the scheduled season.
The national commission apparent
ly has ruled that a player should be
paid to the end Of the scheduled sea-
son, but the ruling is in conflict with
that OF Secretary Farrell, and was
made public after the suspension OF
the Central association. As practically
all the class and D leagues have sus-
pended they will fight the decision OF
the national commission and ask that
Secretary FarreIl's ruling be adhered
to by the governing body Of profess
sional baseball. A final hearing OF the
case probably will not be possible be-
fore the annual meeting Of the National
Association OF Professional Baseball
Clubs, TO be held at Louisville. KY, al
the close Of the major league season.
The national associations ruling
was not given out until after the sus-
pension Of many leagues and therefore
is held to be unfair and virtually con-
fscatory Of club property. Should the
governing body insist on carrying out
its program the probabilities are tnat
the minor leagues will demand the
formation, 81 q new commission which
will provide for equal representation
OF the minors with the majors, the lat
ter now controlling the commission
membership.
II is expected that as Des Moines has
claimed title TO Payne, similar claims
| will be made for Murphy and Higgins.
| The local club will carry the case to the
Louisville meeting and insist on It's
rights.
