New York, Oct. 12.-Reports that
major league baseball players were
organizing an dissertation TO present
demands to the club owners and to
call a strike next spring unless they
were met, are not taken seriously by
Gotham magnates.
None denied the existence of a
movement which has been underway
about year under the direction of
Raymond j. Cannon, a lawyer of Chi
cago and Milwaukee, but all OF them
professed ignorance of the movements
present extent; its purposes and its
membership.
There has been little secrecy about
Cannon's work. AS the attorney for
Oscar Happy" Felsch and other of
the Chicago BLACK Sox,' who were
barred forever from organized baseball
following the 1919 worlds series scan
dal, Cannon is we'll known TO the mag
mates. From time to time newspapers
have published stories detailing the
movement.
From what can be learned, ii APP
pears that the movement is based
on the dissatisfaction of some play
ers with the manner in which Com
missioner X. NJ. lands has handled
their affairs. II is said that the
specific aims OF the new association
Include representation on the advis-
ory council, elimination of the ten
day clause in contracts. and the es-
