Secretary Farrell Of the National AS
sociation Of Minor Base Ball Leagues
has announced wording of a clause
which is to be part Of the wartime"
players contracts as approved by the
committee appointed at the annual
meeting Of the association in Louisville
November 12. The clause follows:
1.-THE player agrees to abide by the res
ervation clause in this contract in the
event that the club or league of which

This clause is void unless the club

them permission to play on Thursdavs

FAMOUS JocKEY-TRA1NER DEAD
Jacob Pincus Dies Suddenly Of Heart
Disease in New York.

NEW YORK. January 24.-Jacob Pin
Gus, one of the most famous Jockeys
and trainers on the American turf, died
suddenly of heart disease in the Mount
Vernon Hospital yesterday. He was
born in Baltimore in 1888.

ton. He rode all of his races on the
American tracks, but as trainer he
developed and saddled winners in all
parts of the world. He was the only
American trainer to win an English
Derby with an American bred horse.
