Jtx. tho plajers and magnates nro at fault and that n continuation of tho M mitt

If tho intention of the 1'luvets' Fiiiteinltv had boon kept neciet until about two
weeks befoto the time Hcheduled foi tho teints to depait for the South, and the
plnsers had ietiiM.il to sign toiitinuts the magnates would have been taken off

major and minor league ham ball mignntps have cnuitid thin ttouble They defied
nnd goaded tho plaveis to take some dellntto ui tlon, and ma) find out to their
noirow that they h.tio mule a ginvo mistake
Chief Complaint Against Minor Leagues
.JTIHE chief complulnl of the Plosers' rrnlornlty Is against the minor lennues but
as nil members of the organisation Into agreed to stand togethei tegardless "f
classincatlon, 1'iesldont Fultz insists tint tho men will go tluougli with tliel.
threat The most Impo tnnt ipqiicst mndo of the inijm leaaucs whs mauled bv
tho National Commission, but the National Association of Minor League Clubs
refused to consider the petition tcndeicd bv Fultz Quite a f 1 w poisons hao
expressed tho opinion that Picsddent I-'illtr is making a mistake in asking the
major leaguo plavers to light tho battles of the pl-tycm of the stnnllei leagues,
but it is said that tho leader of tho plavers is of tho opinion that tho National
Commission could luivo obtained satisfaction for the Pinieis' l''ratornlt, but
refused to aid.
Ererylliiny Depends on the Public
IT T.H all cry well for tho magnates to &ay Hint thuj nro not won led and that it
Is tho best thing that possibly could hippen to clean up the game as minager
find part owner .Mack, of tho Athletics, has said, but this is entirely tho wrong
View The magnates aio acting upon the supposition that the public will stand for
nn thing. Tliero is no question tint a laigo number of tho fans uro of iho
opinion that iho plaveis nro overpaid in this lospect tho magnates have tho
Bjmpathy of some, but thoie Is nn equally large number who hae no sentiment or
prejudices The fans merely will become disgusted with thu game and turn their
mention to other forms of amusement
Shortage of Hall Players In Future
THi:iin is another way of looking at tho wholo affair. The magnates aio acting
is If they helloed that tho plnveis who are sulking now will bo in tho gnmo
foieier When a man Invests one or two millions of dollais In nn etituro. ho
must look to the futuio. Supposo Hip minor leagues did close up thelrpurkn for a
jrur as faoied by soioial presidents of smnllci oigauir.itiuus, according to in
toi views given out to the press A'here will the major leagues get tho plnvoia to
- fill the gaps, if the plaors go through witli thch stilke threat ' Tho aveiage minor
leaguei is not well paid. That Is ono of the main faults with tho national g.imo
at present, Thoso playois would Book rinplojmeut 'n other businesses rind confine
their baseball efforts to independent games one fvo ni tin oo davs u week if they
becamo settled in nnotlici line of wotk for a. ui the nuijoiitv of tho men now
placing in tho minor leagues would nut return to tho game This would leavo a
shortage of players, and natmally loner the standaid of the game when those
striking veterans of tho major leagues had outlived theli usefulness.
Standard of Game Will He Lowered
Titn magnates hay that tho farms and small cities aio full of star plasms if
Ihej can bo uncovered. Tliov contend tint there would bo a new batch of slurs
developed at smaller cost. Hut do the magnates lealUe that thev must lower tha
standard of tho game at a time when the, nro boosting the prices of admission all
along the line'' Tho public Is willing to pay for Its amusement b it when the pi ices
are raised it expects a supeiior form of enteitalnment, and the two major leagues
cannot afford to loso more than a few plajeis right now, because tho pknlng stand
ard Is lower than ever, notwithstanding the opinion of m.u-iiates and some eiltlts to
the contrary. Tho minor leagues usually nro tho gicatest losers in baseball wars
and probably would suffei h reparable loss if tho threatened stilje becomes a reality,
but tho greatest losers would bo thu major leaguo owneis, who appaiontlyato blind
to their danger. They have conti oiled tho national gamo for euis with utter dis
regard for players 01 fans, and think that nn thing they do will bo foi gotten.
Owners Have Cause for Worry
SOME of the major league owners can well afford to stand pat and fcinile at the
thought of tho plajers passing up their monthly pay checks for a season.
Others, however, are not ho foitun.ite Somfc of the owneis with (Smaller pa i oils,
lighter mortgages and less expenso In every way probibly could afford to cioo
their paiks for n season, but what would become of owneis who nro moitgaged up
to their necks or who are paving exoibltunt ienf These owners say that they
Would play if they had to use minor leaguers In their line up. but do they think for
a. mlnuto that the fans would pay major leuguo piins for minor league ball1'
Connlo Mack enys that the threat of the Plajers' rraternit ptesldent does not
worry Ulm in the least. Why should it? It is u well-known fact that nono of the
Alackmen nro members of the Trateinity, and, therefore, would not bo called upon
to hold out.
' Labor Unions Would Sympathize With Players
IT ALSO would bo well for tha magnite.s to realms that thu plnyers,would havo
the sympathy of the various labor unions throughout tin, country, particularly
If President Kultz is as close to tho Ameiitan t'edoratlon of I.abor as some pel sons
. ay. It is argued that the riayers' Fiateruity move will fall Hat when It conies
' time to call on plajers like Cobb, Alexander, Johnson, Speaker nnd many other
high-salaried players to Join them. Tho contention Is made that these plaj-ers,
who are drawing JIO.OOO a jear or more, will refuse to pahs up this money merely'
to help other lesser lights, particularly In tho mlnar leagues, who have giley
, nnces. It is possible that these players will take this view of the matter, but tho
,' fans are of the opinion that these players can better afford to be kilo a jear than
the magnates can, and will stick by their fellow plajers if they already have,
pledged themselves, as is asserted.
WE ARE making no attempt to predict the outcome of this squabble between
players and magnates, but wish to Btate both sides of tho argument. Sopie are
of the opinion that a strike would not amount to anj thing, so long as there Is no
independent league or leagues in existence to take care of the Jumping major
league players. Virtually every one admits that the minor leaguo owner would
nave themselves by cutting away from the national agieement If two plajers'
leagues, liko the one formed during tho Biotherhood war almost thirty jears ago,
were In existence And do not overlook the fact that there are many wealthy men
anxious to break Into baseball, and were seriously con&iderlng organizing another
outlaw league before this trouble broke. Headers of the KvXKijta lEnqEB MBro
Informed of this attempt at organizing another outlaw' league pn the closing day
of the National League meeting in December. The magnates do not take this
statement seriouslj-, but may learn, when it is too late, that Fultz and his colleagues
cnow more about it than they pretend.
IT WAS erroneously stated In theu, columns that Penn received a Jarge guar
antee to play Oregon at Paadena. A membr of the football committee
declares that Penn reeaived nothing but expeiiMs and that the gome was yjied.

JACK BARRY'S first move probably will make a big hit with the veteran men
