On June 1s more than 100000 Wis

Some Owners Want
To Limit Player Deals

whether the owners recognize il or
not. 1t is said that the comm ssioncr
Of baseball had been appointed to see
that the players got justice, but the
players think the commissioner has
forgotten them. Anyhow, they didn't
appoint him, nor did they have any
thing to do with the appointment.
Some of them go so far as to say that
they can't see the slightest neces-
sity for. the commissioner OF base
bail, especially as they pay his sal
airy of $4,000.
That's the ball players side CT It..
The ball players have been sold
whether they wished to be sold or
not. and they have seen owners make
thousands or dollars by exchanging
them to other clubs. They got none
of the money and sometimes they did
not get penny OF increases in their
salaries, yet the fact that they were
transferred at such nigh figures
would seem to be proof that they
were superior players and entitled to
an increase.
Perhaps any grievances that the
ball players might hold would not
come TO anything were It not for the
fact that some Of the club owners
feel that their future is threatened
On much the same lines as that of the
Dali play crs.
That is why six owners have agreed
that they will sanction a rule which
win prohibit the sale OF any ball
player except under the waiver price
after May 10 Of the season at hand.
Some would prohibit the sale when
the season starta. II would put the
managers on a flat basis, each one
having to work cut his problems
with what he had at hand, and none
OF them able to draw on the purse
strings to recruit team at the last
moment and 20 lay off or get rid
of enough deadwood to bring Its
standard back to 100 after it had
dwindled down to so.
II the owners of baseball clubs
ever do enter upon such course 1t
will be the first time the managerial
job has had q real test in long
time.
But the ball players are going to
even up further: they are discussing
under their breath thar they won't
be sold at all unless they receive the
money that liz paid for them, less that
part which might be due TO the club
originally holding them. for bring
ing up" And some of them never
we're brought up. They "growed" like

. Mrs. Beverly d. Harris filed the final
brief in the supreme court today in
support Of her motion for alimony
and counsel fees to contest the action
for marriage annullment brought by
her husband. former vice president of
the National City bank.
Both brief and the replying affi-
,davit from Mrs. Harris took occas-

her husband has aired in court re-
garding her connections in the south,
particularly Memphis.
Referring to Eli Rayner of Mem

= charged her to have been and who
a professional gambler. Mrs. Harris
said:
MIR. Rayner is now man of 10.
He is frem one of the best families
of the south"

many other men he may play cards
for high stakes.

Her counsel criticised Mr.. Harris
for terms used in referring to her in
legal statements and said:

him full license to attack her with
every hideous term that can be used
against the most depraved woman"
Mrs. Harris stated in her affidavit
that her husband has been trying for
three years to force me to go to Reno
or Paris and procure divorce from
him.
\ great number of times during
said period, she declared t'he in
formed me through my former at
torneys and through various ennis
saries of his own that he would de-
stroy me if l did not divorce him."
