DEMAND MAJOR
LEAGUES ABIDE
BY AGREEMENTS
Minors Head Says Premier
Organization Cannot Repu-
diate Pact Relative
to Players.

New York, Aug. 3.-Demanding
that the major league live up to the
agreement entered into with the
minors at the conference in this city
last January. David L. Fultz, presi-
dent of the International league and
spokesman for the minor associa-
tons, stated today I'VE are not 60
ing to lose the fruits of the arrange
ment made last winter simply be-
cause the majors now find that they
made bad bargain"
Fultz, in prepared statement,
outlined the case of the minor base
ball leagues, in part as follows:
although the minor leagues of
professional baseball have been the
great developers of playing talent,
they have never received the fnan-
cia1 reward which their important
position in the baseball world would
justify.
This condition was unquestion-
ably brought about to a large extent
BY the draft rule which permitted
the major leagues to arbitrarily
take from each minor league club at
the end of each season one or more
of its PLAYERS at stated prices for
each classification.
Enabled to Withdraw.
"In an endeavor to lessen the
burden of this unfair rule, the ma jor
leagues, at meeting in New York,
January 10, 1919, requested revis-
ion upward of the draft prices,
placing that for an "A player at
$500. This request, Mr.. Herr
mann, acting for the major leagues,
at once denied. He said, however,
that if the minor league clubs
wished to do so, they had the con-
sent of the major leagues to with
draw from the national agreement
and operate alone. This offer the
minor leagues at once accepted.
THE National association on the
following day drew up a tentative
form of agreement embodylng. the
arrangements made at the joint
meeting.
The tentative agreement was
submitted to the National commits
sion but was never signed by them.
at appears that the National
league, at least, has gone on record
as stating that the agreement made
with the minors in January is
scrap of paper, and there is clear
intimation that the majors expect
to again draft minor league players.
"The lifting Of the draft means an
advantage OF at least S75,OO0 and
possibly 100000 to each one of the
class AA leagues.

Standing.

As the result of the Western I'm

torious over the Item Biscuit Co.,
Saturday afternoon, by the score of
3 to 2, in one of the best played con-
tests thus far this season, the 1919
Commercial league finished a three
cornered tie, between these two
teams and the Orchard-Wilhelm
crew.
The league was officially closed
last Saturday, but because of pro-
tested game that had been ordered
replayed, between the Item Biscuit
Co., leaders, and the Western I'm
ions, President Knoll scheduled the
game yesterday.
Since the race is a three-cornered
tie. the city series game scheduled
for next Saturday, between the
Pearl Memorials, champs of the
Church league, and the pennant Win
ners of the Commercial league, has
been called off.
President Kroll will call meeting
of the three managers this week, at
which time a schedule will be adopt
ed to play off the tie.
Saturdays game was attended by
