Ening Players Barred
Contract jumpers and players
who have disregarded the right Of
reservation are waking up to Q FeAl-
ization of the serious predEament
in which they now find themselves.
Industrial clubs and independent
organisations which, during war
time conditions, were q haveA Of
refuge for such players are last 60
ing out of existence. and there hos
been frantic rush OF such play
ers seeking reinstatement. The IN
eligible list Of the National asso-
citation contained several hundred
players and the national board in
handling these cases has 'hewn to
the line and declined to reinstate
only in cases Of apparent misuse
of players, or in instances where a
player was wrongfully put upon
the ineligible list through mistake
or ignorance.
Salary Limits Adequate.
Monthly club salary limits for
leagues of Class A classification or
lower have been fixed on q liberal
basis, every club in each league
should be able to operate well with
in said maximum salary limit, and
in many cases considerably below
that limit. In trimming down your
clubs after spring practice, every
club official should insist that a
few most promising young players
be retained for the sake OF econ
omy and within Is days after the
opening of each championship Sea
son, every club should cut down
to the lowest possible player limit.
My thought is, that all Of our clubs
/, should prepare themselves, during
the days Of good business, to meet
emergencies that are sure to arise
at many places, and possibly all
over our jurisdiction before the
close Of this coming season.

President Sections Appeal.
On the eve Of the opening of the

address you on several matters
that should command your careful
consideration and attention.
After two seasons of unusually
prosperous baseball business, and,
. healthy interest and good attend

close Of last season, wage reduc-
tons and disputes are quite fire.
quent and extensive, a gradual de-
cline in the price of many commod-
tiles has been taking place and the
people generally are in a restless
and unsettled state of mind. Play
ers' salaries and railroad transpor-
tation have materially increased,
hotel expense, feeding players and
sleeping car charges are still on a
high level. and, in my judgment, it
is absolutely incumbent upon clubs
to practice the utmost economy in
every possible manner. Reduce your
training expenses as rapidly a:

low as prudence will permit, keeI

to win a pennant. The present
price of admission issas low as is
consistent with operating expenses
and you must not permit yourself
to be persuaded into a r duction OF
same.
Urges Strict Economy.
In view of the unfortunate dis.
closures that have taken place dur.
ing the last few months every
league oficial, club owner, club of
fetal. player and umpire should
be on the alert against gambling
and betting in any form on base
