Once a player signs with club

BY HENRY MCLEMORE-

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 10. UP)--
AS an old handwriting on the wall
expert it is my guess that the re-
cent freeing of 81 baseball serfs by
Judge KenesaW Moutain Lands will
eventually prove TO be the first step
toward a general releasing from
bondage of all baseball players.
You know, of course, that base
ball players are the nearest things
we have TO slaves in this country.
They don't reach their owners in
clanking chains, and hot and dis
nal crossing in the hold of ship,
but once delivered they become vas
sails of their masters and can be
traded and sold about as if they
we're dumb animals. The fact that
some of them are DUMB ANIMALS
doesn't alter the unfairness of their
treatment.
I have no doubt but that some
Of the free-thinkers among the
players will seek means TO capital
ize on the not quite week old edict
of Judge lands. They are certain
TO see it as the first exposure OF
a chink in the armour of the own
ers and attempt to do something
bout it They also will draw cour-
age and confidence from the TACT
that basebalfs highest power is in
terested IN seeing TO 1t that the
players get an even break from the
operating powers

The Calexico Bulldogs, who rose

servers six to 10 points better than
the Spartans on the basis OF conf
paratiye records.
Coaches, however, particularly
Coach Coyington of Calexico. did
not count the Spartans out by any
means because Ell Centre will be
playing on its home court, dis
tinct disadvantage TO the CaleXi-
cans.
Both Coach Covington and Coach
Larry Hanson have stressed offense
during the past week by adding
a few new tricks in scoring man
euvers.
Ell Centre has defeated Holtville,
22-10 and Calipatria 35-2, in league
games TO date while Calexico holds
victories over BraWley, 1921, and
over Holtville, 4l-29
Indications are that Calexico
boasts superior offense but that
El Centro's defense is considerably
tougher than that of Calexico.
