Secretary Farrell of the league car
i.ied the National Association that
wear on his own shoulders. He had TO
borrow more than $4,000 from the
bank TO do so. His credit was good
and he did all of the work.
In 1920 the yearly dues to the Ma
1ional Association We're increased and
now the organization has a sinking
fund OF more than 100000
Here enters a National Associate
man who talks, none other than Sec
rotary Farrell. and who says:
The Peoria convention, as small as
il was again proved the value of the
National Association to the little lei
lows in ba Sc ball. ! had prepared
before the convention IA resolution,
which was presented by the commit
tee of revision of the constitution, pre-
serving our reservation and other in
herent rights. This was to protect the
just rights of all lea CUES that had been
compelled 10 diSband because of the
war. 1t expressly provided that the
rights of reservation could be eNer-
ciSed by all club members during the
period of the war and that none of the
big fellows could snoop around and
take away the other mans players be
cause there had been sort OF an inter
regnum."
Everybody had 10 live up 10 the re-
serve list that had been filed with me
for october p. 1918. In addition it
was permitted that where conditions
did not warrant la Sc ball in 1918
players would be permitted to go else
where if they did not enlist, and that
the reservation of 1918 would follow
them. That proved to the minor
leagues what organization meant for
them.
Now ] am going to tell YOU some
thing more. A bulletin had been
issued by the National Commission in
regard to the territorial rights of
minor leagues, and in the bulletin II
stated that if players were not paid in
fun for their services in 1918. as
their contracts provided. there would
be no approval of the right of protec-
ton. In effect that made all players
free agents. as the International
League was the only one to continue
after July 1.

The fast and loose system that pre-
walls here takes away much of the
value of the statistics issued by league
scorers. one cannot compare fairly

a record that shows him to have been

if that high average has been achieved

he feels satisfied that his record is
not to be disputed.
But averages in leagues that do not
worry about the foul line rule are
somewhat tainted. True. most of the
shots in. such leagues are made from
behind the mark. but too many are
fired after the bowler has crossed il
Fouling frequently gives the bowler
an advantage of a yard or two, sur
prising as that may seem. and that s
tremendous advantage, too.
Generally, the bowlers of Washing
ton are of the opinion that the foul
line rule should be in force here. but
they don't stop to think that it's en-
forcement is up to them. They make
the leagues. and the leagues make
their own rules. If they want to pro.
hibit the encroachment upon the
drive, they can do so without EN-
ployins cop with a stop" light.
Let them adopt a foul line rule in
their own league and their averages
will be more satisfactory to them, and
certainly command more respert in
other circuits.
