MAGNATES SHAPING UP
A WORKING AGREEMENT
New Arrangements Between Majors
and Minors Allows Each to Con-
duct Business Separately.

NEW YORK, January 1S.-The con-
Guiding session of a week of confer
ences between major and minor
league base ball club owners was held
here today, the principal business be-
ing the signing of a new working
agreement to take the place of the
national agreement abrogated by mu-
tual consent of the two major organi-
zations and the Association Of Minor
Leagues. The minors now will be un-
der control of their own board of ar
bitration until 1921. All players must
be purchased from the minors for
cash and drafts and optional agree
ments with the National Association
have been discontinued.
In case of future disputes it has
been proposed that the minors and
the majors each appoint a represent
alive, and these two will appoint a
referee. This committee of three will
adjust all differences which may arise.
With the decision yesterday to re-
turn to normal salary list, the ma
tional club owners are planning to be
more liberal with their spring train
ing plans. It was announced that the
Brooklyn team probably will train in
Florida or Georgia.

Every now and then some unus-

land last summer that kept me ex-
planning for couple Of days,
New York was playing Cleveland,
and II my memory serves me correct
ming was the eighth or ninth. Ping
Bodie was on first base. when Mar
sans sharply singled to right field.
Bodie got away to a good lead and
surprised Bobby Roth by going to
third on the hit. Roth made Shne
peg. the ball and Bodie arriving at
struck the hands of Joe Evans. Rodie
slid into him, upsetting him and
causing him to. drop the ball. It so

Ping closed his arm tightly around

but I have always believed he was

thinking and acting quickly on That
play.
It SO happened that / was unmpir-
ing the plate that afternoon. and it
was up to me to render q ruling on
the play at third. I was over the
play, saw Evans drop the ball, and
then momentarily, lost sight of 1t. in
the cloud of dust that naturally re-
suited. Joe Evans began to scramble
for the ball, but in vain. At the same
time noticed a very small portion OF
the sphere peeking out from under
Bedie's arm. / decided the wise
thing t6 do was call time. which !
did. Marsans noting the delay at
third, made up his mind to try for
second, at just about the time I had
suspended play. Reaching down ]

tort. Ping made II appear that he

This triangular swap Is one that
can be said seems to have
ben Gifted all concerned, No two play,
ers among those accounted regulars
on the roster of the local club could
nave been given UP who will be
missed less than Du Mont and Ain
smith. Du Mont, because of the rather
ferocious wind-up he employs. gives
the average fan the impression that
he Is whale of pitcher, but al
though given every opportunity in the
several seasons he has been with the
local club to make good he has failed
and this fact probably is due to that
self same wind-up. 1t is an effective
or three swings of the
arm with the ball sent hurting to
the plate. from in back of him, it
being difficult for the batsman to
gauge the course of the ball until
after it is we'll on it's way toward the
platter. Du Mont has a lot of smoke
and In the early innings is able to
puzzle the best of the sticksmiths, but
the constant use of speed with the
wearing effect Of his rapid fire wind
up SO saps his strength that along
toward the middle of the fracas he
begins te wilt and as a rule has to
have q relief hurler rushed to his
rescue or Ia pummeled in lively fashion
in the later rounds when he loses all
his zip.
.Ainsmith is good catcher and
should make a valuable man for De-
troit, but he had about outlived his
here. He virtually was
supplanted by the youngster Pieinich
last season before Val Joined the
Navy and would have given way 10
him next season as frst-string back
stop had he been retained. Never a
good hitter, Ainsmith has shown no
signs of improving in this respect,
while Picinich displayed wallop
along with an ability to catch the
speediest Of the local moundsmen
that sounded Ainsmith's doom as
hrst-striHg receiver.
To help Picinich this year Eddie
Charity. an even more powerful hit
ter. will be available. and it Is Grit

catcher before the season opens.

in a game at ST. Louis. that caused
much discussion among the speota-
tors. and made things rather un-
pleasant for me. yet as matter of
world ahaut the play that was at all
unusual other than that the speeta-
tors were not familiar with the facts
Had the fans only known the situa-
ton d 1t really happened the play
would have probably passed OF with
out the alightest trouble.
1t was the first of thes ninth, with
one down and runner Oh first base,
and st. Louis one run to the good. The
batter hit the bali to the shoFtstop,
who tossed to second. forcing the run
ner from first. while hurried throw
to the first sacker retired the bats
man. completing what seemed to be
q double play and retiring the side.
The field umpire made it look all the
stronger by waving both men out. AS
is customary the exit gates were
opened. and the spectators started to
come on the field
BY this time I had managed to
make it apparent that the side was
not retired, Only the fact that a small
crowd was at the game that day
MADE y possible Ter us to resume play
without much OF q delay, The st.
Louis catcher who was working very
close to the batsman, accidentally
came Into contact with the bat as the
hatsman was taking a healthy swing.
The interference was very slight. and
seriously doubt If 1t had any effect
on the hit made by the batter, but un-
der the rules, I had only one ruling
that could possibly make. In ali in
reference plays the intent or lack of
intent Is not given the slightest con-
alteration. The batsman was. of
course, entitled to first base and this
necessarily forced the runner oriei-
naliy on first to move up to second.
Thus. instead of the side being re-
tired and the. bali game over. with
St Louis the winner. the game was
still on, the visitors had runners on
frst and second and only one out.
AS Is usually the case. a couple of
base hits followed. two runs were
scored and 81. Louis lost by a run.
After the game some of the fans said
unkind things about my eyesight and
Judgment but the scribess SO thor
oughly explained the play the next
day. that one fan who had said un-
kind things to me, wrote me a letter
of apology for the attitude he had
taken.
