COAL MINE DEAL
BASIS OF SUIT
Saxmap Claims an Agreement
With Vance C.. Nc
Cormick

While no statement has been filed
by Deputy Attorney General William
H. Keller, counsel for Edwin F. Sax
man, of Philadelphia. and Latrobe, in
the action in assumpsit against Vance
c. Mccormick. Democratic national
chairman and wealthy coal land
owner. 1t is understood that the claim
of S25,00 is based upon Saxman's con-
tention that he is entitled to that
much by reason of a verdict rendered
in favor of a coal company against the
Pennsylvania Railroad after a trial of
charges of discrimination some time
ago.
Mccormick. Saxman and others were
interested in the Sonman Shaft Coal
Company, operating in the central
soft coal district, and SaXman sold 100
shares he had in the company to Nc
Cormick for $4,000. He is understood
to hold that in making the sale there
was an agreement that he should par
ticipate in an amount proportionate to
his shares in any verdict secured in
the discrimination suit. This McCor-
mick is said to deny.
Saxman's claim is said to be that
he is entitled to the proportionate
share only to the time of the transfer,
or between $4,000 and $4,000.
The case will hardly come to trial
for some time.

Martin L. Houser Falls

Baseball Chiefs to Decide on
Status of Players During War

New York. Oct. 9.-Major league
baseball magnates face knotty
problem at the coming annual meet
ings when they will be called upon
to decide the status of the player
at present under contract or re-
serve. Very few of the club owners
hold the opinion, apparently, that it
Will be possible to resume league
operations next spring. If such
proves to be the case and there are
tew indications to the contrary, it
would appear that the majority of
players who figured in the 1918 PEN
nant races will not receive contracts
during the early months of next
year.
According to the present system
IL is mandatory upon the clubs to
renew their options or reserve clause
upon players not later than January
l each year and to follow this action
py mailing contracts to the play
ers not later than February l. 1t is
extremely doubtful if this procedure
Will be followed in 1919. Under the
ordinary ruling player who did
not receive his contract by March
would become a free agent and
upon the resumption of big league
baseball would be in a position to
sell his services to the highest bid
der.
1t is understood, however, that
the magnates will hold the business
OF baseball suspended under instruc-
tions from the government and that
since the right to operate was beyond
their control all contracts and other
legal phases are suspended automa-
tically. Under this construction the
contract of the player carries over
until such time as the government
gives consent for a renewal Of the
business of baseball. Thus il the
professional leagues do not resume
until 1920 the year of 1919 would
be considered as nonexistent in so
far as 1t might affect a players con-
tract.
There is still another angle to the
proposition which involves the nag
mates and the two major leagues as
individuals and cooperating busi-
ness organizations. 1t might be held
ito be within their rights to refuse to
negotiate with or for the services
OF a player who, previously TO the
suspension of the game, was the
