(By the fno0ntx 6ookin9 Orrtccl
 Since there has been many protests made of late in regard to baseball managers of valley teams who have been stealing players from other clubs by offering them unsportsmenlike in- ducements to leave one team and play on another it has at last become nee essary, at the request of several teams. for the booking office to put an immediate stop to such methods 1t has been left to the manager of the booking office. who must act in the same capacity as league presi- dent when it comes to arbitration of baseball difficulties. to make some de- cision over this matter. For. unless certain managers are forced to stor trying to get players from other clubs in order to strengthen their own II will break up. at least three teams which will have to discontinue play ing ball
 So far the teams in the Salt River valley have had the biggest year il baseball circles ever known to thu fans of this state. they are drawint great crowds at all games and thu gate receipts are running into thu hundreds. of dollars where they uses to be satisfied with not over S5' crowd.
 From now on. while the games arr booked through the tsoolSing office fo both parks. it must be understood b, the managers that no team playini players that have not been releases from the teams in which they started
 playing with. will be given games il Riverside or Eastlake parks. Fur thermore. the booking office does no
 care to book games for any tean
 which wishes to load their club witt
 ringers for the purpose of placin
