"Let Commission Pass on
ManauX Claim ==EbbetS
Pitcher Not a Free Agent and
Will Have to Play With
Brooklyn or Remain Idle,
Says President of Robins.

New York, Feb. S-Charles H. Eb-
bets, president of the Brooklyn club,
gave to young Al. Mamaux. the Ma
tional Leagues poorest pitcher. and
best conversationalist, some sound adj
vice yesterday, when he urged. the
player to submit his claim against the
Pittsburgh Pirates to the National
Commission and abide by the result,
instead of starting a fight in the civil
courts.
Mr.. Ebbets also made it clear that
Mamaux is not a free agent and will
be forced to play this summer with
Brooklyn or remain idle.
Mamauxs claim is that the Pirate
management abrogated the contract
with him by suspending him and
docking his salary for six weeks
last season on the ground that he
broke the club rules. Mr.. Ebbets
said yesterday:
"Mamaux should take his COM
plant to the National Commission. I
understand that Mr.. Dreyfuss is per-
fectly willing to let the commission
settle the controversy. MamauX
would find that it has been the per-
sistent tradition of the commission
| to give the benefit of the doubt to the
| ball players in disagreements with
| club owners, and he would stand a
better chance of gaining something
| from Messrs. Hermann, Tener and
johnson than he would from the
civil courts.
Whatever may happen, Mamaux il
not free agent, and will not be one
His quarrel with Mr.. Dreyfuss is nc
concern of mine or the Brooklyn club
If he wins his claim against Mr.
Dreyfuss all right. If he does moi
all right That is purely question
of money remaining due, and does MOI
affect his reserve, which was traded
to Brooklyn in the deal by which was
sent Cutshaw and Stengel to Pitts
burgh
I'VE are taking Mamaux purely OF
ia speculation. He was an utter fail
ure last year, winning only two
games. He gave as an excuse tina
he had a bad arm. We were willing
to accept that excuse and gamble OF
the return of his arm and the benefits
he would derive from being coached
by Manager wilbert Robinson of thu
Superbas. We look for him to sig1
with us before the season opens, re
CARELESS of his private war with Mr.
Dreyfuss. If he does not we snail
try to open the park anyhow.
