MCCARTHY FLAYSl
JUDGE lands FOR
ENDORSING RULING
Pacific Coast League Prexy
Says Major Minor Pact
Violated

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Jan. IL
and minor baseball leagues, restrain
ing the drafting of players, was
characterized today by William H.
Mccarthy, president of the Pacific
Coast league, as "a scrap of paper"
as a result of a recent pact be-
tween the majors, which, according
to Mccarthy, extends the drafting
privilege beyond the scope of the
MAORI minor agreement.
Mccarthy based his statement on a
telegraphed Interpretation of the
majors pact from Kennesaw M. Lam
dis, high commissioner OF baseball.
and Commissioner Lands decision
that the majors were justified in
making such pact.
1.-The minor leagues of this coun-
try, approximately twenty five, have
been humbugged. deluded, deceived
and cheated by the two major
leagues, the statement said, land the
pity of 1t is that this has been done
with the knowledge, consent and APP
prevail of the new Moses as the high
commission, who was to lead profess
siona1 baseball into new land of
promise.
Inc man whose pTOuQeSt DOdSC anu
claim to fame was that he had fined
the Standard Oil company $29,000,000,
was not big enough nor courageous
enough to tel his over-fed and over
prosperous employers that a contract
is a contract binding upon both par
ties and that they would have to live
up to their part of It."

sioner K. M. lands was so little in
tersted in the statement issued by

hotel and started to read the Nc

far from being the best on the bill.

LOCAL MAN CR|TICIsEs
 { CONDUCTED 0| ! TOURS

H. E. Ellsworth at a recent meeting of the chamber of commerce stated that there has been considerable com plaint on the part of members of per sonally conducted tours of the high cost of touring Alaska. For instance while the cost per round trip on the steamships Is but $14S, and over the Richardson road about S75, with $2S.5O from Fairbanks here, certain agencies in the states are charging those book ing in their offices from 5000 to ST. 500. That this will initiate aganist tourists making the trip is the opinion of MT. Ellsworth, who feels that while these agencies should be reimbursed to a certain extent, that the present cost is far too high.
 One plan substituted by MT. Ellis worth was for the city to advertise tours of its own, furnishing guides, boats and accommodations for parties desiring to camp at Ken;.l or Russian River, or who desire to enjoy the fish, ing and boating Guides could also be furnished to those desiring to noun tain climb or visit the big glaciers near here The fees for the guides etc., would be paid by the tourists, but operating under MT. Ellsworth's plan, it would insure far cheaper trip for tourists, and would allow them to remain a few days in Seward.
 Under the present system, those conducting the tourists rush through each place, in order to save money by making the trip as rapidly as possible.
 There is a great deal of merit in MT. Ellsworth's plan, as it would in- crease tourist travel and would also allow tourists to have more time to investigate the country and visit points of interest
