By c. A. Lovett

Athletic managers of shipyards and
munition plants gave the magnates of
the late lamented professional summer
sport no end of worry last season. And
just as the baseball club owners were
troubled, SO have the employers of
soccer football talent their tribulations
to-day.
With the lure of soft jobs at
wages" that amount to high salaries,
it has become an easy matter for the
soccer managers of dozens of shipyards
of the East-and more particularly of
the Middle Atlantic states--to sign to
contracts virtually the choice of the
dribblers remaining out of the military
and naval services.
But number of these shipbuilding
corporation soccer managers signed
players in a manner'rat haphazard,
and once the playing season got under
way they discovered weaknesses in
their kicking machines. Naturally.
there is a great dearth of soccer talent
in the land and ere they realized the
shortcomings of their respective organ
izations every man capable of trapping
or heading a soccer ball had been COB
bled up by some club or other.
Agents Tempt Players
Recently, taking advantage of the
countrywide lull in soccer activities
in consequence Of the epidemic of So
called Spanish influenza, various ship
yard soccer officials have been tray
elling about making alluring offers to
players who already had signed for the
season with clubs not in position to
tender such lucrative propositions.
While the practice has become quite
general within the last two or three
weeks. but two complaints have been
LODGED formally to date. 1t is known,
however. that a whole series of other
protests are in preparation by clubs
here and there with star players who
suddenly have become diSaHected for
no good reason and have asked for their
release from the terms of existing con-
tracts.
1t is known, although United States
Football Association officials are ret-
cent about the matter, that the New
York r. C., through its secretary, Hugh
Magee. lodged a protest with the Ma
tonal Commission against soccer Off
Gals of the Federal Shipbuilding Com
pany F. c., of Passaic, n. j., who, it is
charged, have sought to wean away
from the Lenox Oval aggregation one
or more of its stars.
The Federal Shipbuilding F. c. agents
were bold enough to talk with New
York players at LenoX Oval last Sun
day. it is stated, and when Secretary
Magee demonstrated with them Man
ager John Graham of the Passaic Club
is said to have reminded Magee taht the
agent doing the interviewing of play
ers was not officially connected with
the Federal management
This evident subterfuge dscloses a
speaking acquaintance of the shipyards'
footballers with the laws of the game
and is an indication that an effort is
being ma de to get around regulations
