HINTS OF SLAVERY
Under Janney's shoots the hill player

Soling throwing and catching his life
I ITir for the benefit of others Janney
demoted t0 snow that. If a ball plavcr
'riiLfed to the reserve clause In hlR con
met and refused to sign his name to that
YLment he would be barred from bujing

Ah. but It was pretty canvass that
Ucture of tho modern ball plaver when
roundsman Pepper finished Garry was
rwllng off facta and figures to show the
laoiern tosser a pampered prince among
re-earners Luke McLuke. It appeared
from Garry's testimony, started In to run

ti,n gradually rose In fame and Hilary
until he was harrowing away the worlds
writs dough by October provided, of
course, that ha was good enough Mr
Pepper wound up by saying, "Wo will show
tint the ball player is not in a state of
QMil-peonagc but Is mighty well treated "
Carry Herrmann testified that, before tho

however Garry's loquacity lessened some
what under the crossfire of Fllnger Janney.

mai" wriggled uneasily in his seat while
being spitted by the prosecution His ad
missions tended to show that the national
commission docs nn interstate business and
that it controls In the last analnls the
aalarlea of major and minor league )laers
He named J2 481.000 as the sum paid bv
the major league to the minors from 1911
to 1916 Inclusive He also testified that In
the National League the minimum prlca for
admission was twenty-fivo cents (5arr s
picture of his organization was Indeed that
of a supreme and controlling court
'If a plaser Is drafted from the minor
league by the big ones," asked Mr Janne,
"and he la not satisfied with the salary
he Is getting in tho big leagues, what Is
he to do'
'He can come to the National Commis
llon for his redress," answered Garrv
'But If the National Commission refuses
him what he thinks he Is worth docs ho
fet a chance to ask among other clubs
for bids for his services?" was the next
question
'No,' admitted Garry, a little faintly
"If he docs not abide by our decision, he
cannot plav in organized ball "
Mr Janncv sought to prove that the play
ers do not benefit by their sale .and that
their salaries are fled without giving them
a fair chance to go into the open market
and have magnates bid for their services

Instantly before Ned could make an

their feet for a decision They argued long
They argued loud, and Pat Kirk, the turn
stile Keeper va3 warned to bar Mugesy
McGraw should he apply for admission
Rowdjlsm Is ban ert in this game
'Let Mr Hanlon put a value on his club. '
said Umpire Judge Dickinson ' Safe at

placed a value of $205,000 on the club
franchise at the time of the peace pact
Pitcher Pepper made a couple of quick
Jhrcms In an effort to catch Ned napping

all of the Terrapins at Ned with a quebtlon
as to where these plajera went after the
Terrapins tilted and fell over backward

The way in which the drawing power of
