BALL PLAYERS SLAVES?

can League stars who jumped to the
Federals did not have to take into con-
sideration the original draft price of the
individuals.
George Wharton Pepper counsel for
organized interests, asked the witness
whether he considered that part of the
salary paid professional ball players
was given them in consideration of the
reservation the clubs held upon their
services for the next season. Mr.. Gold
man said 1t was not his understanding
that the salary of ball players was SO
divided into two parts. He said the
Federal League in its contracts with
players also inserted reservation
clause.
What he termed the monopolistic
method of organized baseball were de-
scribed yesterday by L. Edwin Goldman.
former director of the Baltimore club
OF the Federal League, testifying in the
trial OF the clubs suit for damages under
the Sherman antitrust law against the
National and American Leagues.
The witness said when the Federal
League started to break the baseball
monopoly" the organized interests con-
trolled every club and every professional
player in the United States, including
225 clubs and nearly 5000 players In
support of his charge of monopolistic
methods of the major leagues. he out
lined the activities of the National Com
mission, which. he said. acted as a
court and adJudged appeals from play
ers, made rules and regulations for all
the clubs, and issued opinions.
Mr. Goldman spent some time reading
forms of contracts between clubs and
players and attempted to interpret sew
eral TO show that the players were not
at liberty to negotiate with any other
club for their services and would have
had to get out of organized baseball un-
less they could agree with the club
holding their contract. In brief, that
they were practical slaves.

Washington, March 27.-Testi-
mony apparently designed to prove or
ganized baseball n monopoly within the
meaning of the Sherman antitrust act
was introduced yesterday in the trial
in the District OF Columbia Supreme
Court of the damage suit of the Balti-
more Federal League club against the
National and American Leagues and
certain officials of the former Federal
League. The Baltimore club is seeking
TO recover damages of 100000.
Counsel for the Baltimore club called
two witnesses yesterday. F. Otto Knabe.
assistant manager of the Chicago club
of the National League and formerly
manager of the Baltimore Federals. and
l. Edwin Goldman. former director of
the complainant club.
The former said he had signed nu-
merous players who came to the Balti-
more club and that the club was COM
PEELED to offer unusually large salaries.
This was due, he said. to realization
by the players that they were going to
new organization and fear that If any
thing happened to the new venture they
might find 1t extremely difficult to re-
turn to the ranks of organized baseball
and might even be out of employment
for the rest OF their professional lives.
Both witnesses were asked many
questions regarding the reserve clause
In the contracts of professional base
ball players; Goldman asserting that 1t
was through these clauses the organf-
zation maintained control of players
from one season to another.
In response to questions regarding
the relative value of baseball players.
Goldman gave 1t as his opinion that
actually there were not enough real first
class ball players in the country to form
one. team. He. explained the system
through which players are purchased
and drafted and agreed. on cross-exami-

ing big salaries to National and Ameri-

= Adventure in Harrisburg
The Most Famous of Wresers Who Meets Stranger LetpiS
Here Nert Tuesday, Is Keen to Return

DR.. Roller. a physician of ability and
fame, who practices at $50 West Sew
enty-second street. New York. and who
will meet Stranger Lewis next Tues
day night at Chestnut Street Audi
torum. writes to The Telegraph sport
ing editor to-day as follows:
II am delighted to have the oppor-
tunity to visit Harrisburg again after
playing some desperate games Of foot
ball in Harrisburg in the past and 1t will
certainly be n pleasure to meet my old
friends. I remember distinctly the
game in 1903, 1 think, 1t was between
the Pennsylvania Railroad Y. NJ. c. A.
and Steelton Y, NJ. c. A, after which
! never was so tired and beaten up in
my life. I am also delighted with the
opportunity to meet Lewis, because 1
have, 1 think, worked out an absolute
block for his famous deadlock.
"I know he is n powerful man with
powerful arm and shoulder, but have
always relied upon my cleverness to
beat the bigger and stronger man my
self and am not afraid of his head
lock now and, besides I am weighing
225 pounds stripped and in good condi-
ton. I will arrive in Harrisburg the
morning OF the match"
DR.. Roller will undoubtedly be
greater attraction here than Tommy
Draak. for he has mat record second

Or. Roller announced his retirement
during the war, but when Wladek
Zbyszko, the Polish heavyweight. won
the worlds title last week he was so
stirred about the title leaving this coun-
try that the noted physician-athlete
tossed his hat in the ring and issued
defy to the mighty Pole. Roller has
always kept himself in the best of con-
dition and is ready to enter the game
Immediately He figures that II Lewis
cannot defeat Zbyszko it is up TO him
~ turn the trick for the honor of Uncle
sam and he liked nothing better than
the idea of proving he is ready 10 make
rood his challenge by mixing 1t with
Stranger Lewis in this city.
Roller was the greatest American
heavyweight wrestler in the game from
the davs of Frank Gotch to the time
America went into war and thus caused
"a cessation of wrestling hosulltles unIiI
Kaiser Bill was pinned TO the mat. In

noted wrestlers were on the job. not TO

himself. was in the service and emerged
from ii a full fledged sergeant During
the war Roller kept in shape at George
Eoethner's gymnasium in New YORK
the hangout of most of the wrestling
fraternity. and he is ready right now
70 prove he is the Yankee to down

Last Chance to See Tech
Champs; Play Steelton Friday

Patrons of the Technical High
school basketball team will have the
last chance of the season to see their
favorites in action Friday night when
Steelton High school will oppose
Tech on the Chestnut street audi
torium.
Tech never had a better team than
the one captained by "Buddie'
Lingle. But one contest was lost and
that by a single point. 1t was the
best record ever made in the Gem
trail Pennsylvania basketball league
in any OF the four seasons. No other
quintet went through a season with
less than two defeats.
For an opponent Tech could not
select a better team than the Steel
ton aggregation. Down at Steelton
ten days ago. it was only by burst
of speed in the last ten minutes that
Tech was able TO land the victory.

Orpheum Boxing Show
Promises Hot Scraps

What the outcome of Friday nights
fight at the Orpheum Theater between
Leo Houck of Lancaster, and Larry
Williams, Of Bridgeport. Conn, will
be makes seething dispute amidst
ring fans and boxers. This morning
the Telegraph sports editor is in re-
ceipt Of biting letter from Leo p
Flynn, manager for Bill Brennan, of
New York, wherein he ridicules Will
liams.
Il notice" says he. that Crying
sam Driver in message to Frank
Erne the other day declares that
Larry Williams who is to fight Houck
in Harrisburg, defeated a lot of good
men. among them my fighter Bill
Brennan. Alright, if spending sew
enty-hVe per cent of the time caress-
ing the canvass means winning, then
Larry Williams beat Bill Brennan.
Williams only took eight knockdowns
during the ten rounds that he stayed
with Brennan. and when he was not
on the floor he was running for his
life. Brennan hit him with every
thing but the town clock. To say
that II was contest would be in
sulting the intelligence of an eight
year-old school boy. Brennan will
agree to stop both Houck and Will
liams in the one night"
The pickering that has been going
on should, at least. insure some sim
cere ring activity on Friday night
Houck was flayed by Mike Gibbons
at st. Louis and should be very keen

The Camp Hill girls have lost no

The Camp Hill girls have been

Why Coal Prices
Are High

Instead of the anticipated drop
in coal prices April | comes the
announcement from one of the
big operators that commencing
May /, coal prices will advance
10c monthly until September /,
when prices will be SOC higher
than at present.
Naturally everybody is Won
dering why coal is likely to go
still higher. The abnormally
high wage increases granted the
miners by the Fuel Administra-
ton during the war, and which
are likely to be maintained in
definitely, are given as one of
the causes of the high cost of
coal.
And the Governors investiga-
ton may make it clear why
coal prices are necessary.
