MAGNATES FAIL
To TOUCH RULE
THAT HIT RUTH
No Effort Made to Modify Law
Prohibiting Champions From
transforming.
BY SID MERCER.

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-The base
ball magnates, like prohibition, have
come and gone and the one thins
we were told they would surely dc
remains undone. No effort waa
made, as far as we can learn, to
modify or repeal the rule prohibiting
members Of pennant-winning teams
from transforming after the void
series.
The Ruth case drew attention to
the unfair discrimination against
members of championship teams. The
rule prevents them from trading on
their regulations after a world Sc
ries, but imposes absolutely no re-
strictions on members Of second and
third place teams who share in the
world series prize money.
Ruth, Meusel. Piercy, Mays. Hoyt
and Schang. Of the Yankees. were
warned to abandon transforming
plans last fall. Ruth ignored the
warning and persuaded Meusel and
Piorcy to stand with him. After
Judge Lands swung on the bows
everybody said 1t was bad rule
Club owners agreed that It should
at least be modified at the winter
meetings.
Ruth. Meusel and Percy are un.
der the ban. Ty Cobb, George Sisler
Harry Heilman, Rogers Hornsby, and
others played a six.weeks' engage.
ment on the Pacific coast after the
close of the regular season. The
four headliners drew down approx.
mately twice as much money for this
engagement as any four of the
Giants got for winning the world
series
The transforming rule needs at.
tention, but It didn't get 1t mt the
league meetings.
Another question: How about put.
ting some restrictions on spring
training transforming trips when the
big league clubs officially took mixed
teams of regulars and "bushers" to
play exhibition games under the
names of big league teams7 Is
that any fairer than the players
explaining themselves on dollar
gathering expeditions In the fall?
The Washington times., 1921-12-20

What Is the sense of a promising
youngster being tied down through
out his baseball carees without Q
chance to profit in reputation and
salary7 II In virtually slavery for q
player to be confined by unfair and
unjust rules to q minor league club
that cannot afford to pay him what
he would be worth and able to draw
with clubs Of greater wealth in the
big circuit.
Any baseball player II entitled to
get what his ability warrants. II he
IL prevented from getting that, he Is
being used with injustice that II en-
tirely foreign to our American ideas
of fairness.
The entire plan Of the Class A A
leagues to thus hamper their players
II absolutely wrong. o..
Minor Leagues Must Act.
The Class A A League owners will
have to come down from their high
horse idea or they will be made to suf-
fer the consequences. Tho baseball
fans know a whole lot more than the
baseball ma9nates Of Class A A
Leagues possibly appreciate They
object strongly to any player with
star possibilities being kept under COW
er through action that bears the faint
of commerctalism.
Who knows but that there are sew
eral more embryo Babe Ruths in the
minor leagues who only await the
to demonstrate their rare
ability? Should they be obliged to
hide their talents simply because
the Class A A fellows are looking
to get higher draft price.
The height Of ambition Of every
young player with ability Is to be-
come a member Of a major league
club, and secure the fame and motor
iety their ability entities them to ~
ceive. 1t Ia their due and the leagues
that are endeavoring to smother
their high hopes are not only block
ing their own welfare but that of
the national game as well. They are
the hold-ups that will obstruct the
progress of the sport.
That Commissioner lands has
struck the popular chord in his plea
for the advancement of the young
players goes without saying. He
has the right angle, the sensible, and
the only fair and Just method.
That there will be a compromise
on the drafting price accorded to the
Glass a leagues. I am convinced
of. This idea is supported by the
remark made to the writer on Satur.
day by a man prominent in the
game. There will be a draft sys.
tenn adopted. make no mistake about
that"
