BAH Club Owners Agree to Be Dumb

Baseball club owners have signed an
agreement to become deaf and dumb as
FAR as crit!cis!ng each other goes. They
have agreed not 10 talk about each
other. CritiCise each other or comment
upon the acts of others. II they keep
their solemn agreements the public is
70 be congratulated.
Practically all the scandal the wars
md disgrace of baseball have had their
foundation in the battlse OF the club
owners. 1t was proposed at the Chicago
conference to ask the newspaper writer's
10 joint In the agreement. Also there
appeared TO Do considerable feeling
among the club owners against the
writer's and an2 impression that the
writer's really were to blame. That Is
the club owners who nave for years en-
Couraged and even pleaded with writer's
to give their side of arguments with
other owners. now desire to blame the
writer's for writing what they wanted
TO have written.
Muzzilng the writer's would be the
worst thing possible for the sport. I'm
less tho writer's keep hammering away
and exposing every slantways move OF
the owners the game will fall into worse
condition even than 1t was. However.
IL the owners agree to soft pedal on
their constant abuse Of each other there
will be no need Of gaggIng the writer's.
The pact probably will not keep the
owners from whispering about each
other anyway. ,-..---

called a certain brokerage house and
using the name Of a big man, ordered
the purchase Of a substantial amount
of Steel common.
The order seemed to be legitimate
and IL was forwarded to the floor
of the stock exchange for execution.
While it was on the way member
of the firm decided to call the sup
posed purchases on the telephone.
In the meantime the order was can
