NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-At no time in

have the major league magnates
faced just such a condition as regards
contracts Of players as the war has
brought about At the coming annual
meeting they viii be called on to de-
eide the status OF the player at pres

few Of the club owners hold the
opinion, apparently, that It viii be

case and there are few indications
TO the contrary, it would appear that
the majority OF players who figured
in the 1913 pennant races VIII not re-
ceive contracts DUR the early
months Of next year
Must Renew.
According to the present system It
is mandatory upon the clubs 70 renew
their options or reserve clause upon
players not later than January 1

tremely doubtful II the procedure VIII

Automatic Suspension.
It IS understood. however. that the
magnates viii hold that the business
Of baseball was suspended under in
structions from the government ana
that since the right TO operate was
beyond their control all contracts
and other legal phases are suspended
automatically Under this cOnsrruc-
ton the contract Of the player carries
over until such time as the govern
ment gives consent for a renewal OF
the business Of baseball. Thus If the
professional leagues do not resume
until 1920 the year OF 1913 would be
