PLAYERS AGAINST
CARD DOMINATION
Five Teams Under Breadon
Thr0ttIeS Chances to
Advance, Claim.
BY JOHN B. FOSTER.

N YEW YORK, December 9.--Old
Doc Apprehension moves un
NJ easily these days whenever the
4 st. Louis National League
Club is mentioned. The old
doctor calls attention to the fact that
organized base ball once had to fight
II trust case and wonders whether 1t
is treading on dangerous ground
again.
Sam Breadon, owner Of the st. Louis
Nationals, has just announced that
his club will operate five minor league
teams in 1928, and some base ball
clubs are voicing criticism Of the St
Louis policy in expanding to the
minor leagues.
Now the players are talking of TAX
ing hand in the game. The latest
| Information coming to hand is that the
| players are considering an appeal tc
Commissioner Lands. The players
have talked themselves into the be
| lief that the st. Louis organization is
a five-footed octopus and they want
Judge Lands to cut off four of the
toes.
Once the judge had a so-called base
| ball trust" case come before him and
there has always been an opinion that
| organized base ball would have got i,
| in the thoraX If the judge had rend
cred a decision at that time. OF
course, any decision that he might
make now as commissioner of base
ball probably would be more effective
than If he had made one while on the
Federal bench.
To Have Five Clubs.
Mr.. Breadons announcement said
that the st. Louis Club in 1928 will
operate the Houston, Syracuse, Topeka
and Danville cubs and probably the
Dayton club in the new Central
League. The Houston club was to
have been sold. but the price put on
that franchise was 900, which is
rather cumbersome for a non-pennant
winning team.
The players are rebelling against
Joining club of a circuit which EN-
braces st. Louis domination. They
argue that it is not right for Messrs.
Breadon and Branch Hickey to have
the "say-so" over so many men. They
also assert that the st. Louis club can
so manipulate players as to keep under
cover all those which it wishes
eventually to put into the st. Louis
team, and thus deny young men a
year or more of service with some
other club to which they would pre-.
fer to belong.
"Who." says the orator of these
protesting players, wishes to sign a
contract to play with the Danville
Club when he knows that the St.
Louis Goblin will catch him? Sup
pose player wants to go to the
Chicago Cubs. He gets hitched up
accidentally to the Danville Club and
then he is anchored between Houston
or Syracuse and st. Louis.
That's no way to treat modern
ball player. Why, a guy never is
likely to get to New York except on
a st. Louis ticket even if he is the
best ball player in the world. And
you never know where st. Louis Is
going to buy next"

Final Settlement of Row May

Arbitration.

~ ALIAS, Tex. December O.
Concluding its annual meet
ings by reviving the major
minor draft agreement con
troversv, delegates to the Ma
fional Association of Professional Base
Pail Leagues disbanded today, leaving
the arbitration board to discuss sew
eral questions.
After two days of discussion the
association Yesterday ordered 1lVe OF
its members operating under the modi'
fled draft agreement with major
leagues to discontinue this practice.
The circuits ordered to abandon tEe
modified draft were the American AS
sociation, International Paclnc coast
Three-I and Western leagues.
Fourteen leagues voted for the reso'
lution banning the compromise draft
agreement and five against 1t. The
five voting against the resolution
were: Western Association, Mississippi
Valley. Western. Three-I and Pacific
Coast leagues.
The modified draft pact provided
that leagues which refused to accept
the ma major-minor agreement advanced
seven years ago could obtain players
from the ma jors with the understand
ing that such men could be re-
claimed Players obtained by the
minors from other sources other than
the majors were not subject TO the
draft.
Representative of leagues sponsor
ing the resolution contended the modl-
fled pact allowed the majors to sign
virtually all promising recruits each
wear and place them with the five
circuits with the knowledge the young
sters would be available when wanted.
The smaller leagues claimed this per-
mitted the majors to obtain high
prices for recruits in the Spring and
TO reclaim them in the Fall at stand
ard draft prices.

The association also approved rec
concentrations by President Mike H

for trading purposes. In adopting a
resolution condemning such practices
the association found the large sal
aries offered the youngsters gave
them a false sense of their value and

recruits.

fearful round I realized that would

Better let him set the pace for a
few rounds" whispered Fitzpatrick,
anxiously.
"I don't see what else I can do"
answered. He surely is doing it up

Fight for the body" advised Sam.
That, also, was all could do, for
Walcott had practically no neck. and
when he pulled down his bullet head
under his huge shoulders there was
little target to shoot at above.
