He threatened heavy fines and suspension from baseball for illegal manipulation of players, “covering-up” of play- ers, and filing of “fake agreements” in ‘the future. | Baseball law, like most other codes, is to complex for general con-| sumption and digestion, but here briefly is what the farm chains have been doing outside of legal bounds.| Covering 'up players: A coverup deal is one in which a club that ostensibly holds a player’s contract| is merely holding it' for someone else. There are many variations of this evil, but the cases generally | fall into two classes. One, a “gen- tleman's agreement,” in which no-| thing official is reduced to writing. Two, drawing up and filing of false | papers, H Just An Agreement In the “gentleman’s agreement |case, one club sends a player to & lower club, allegedly outright, but with a secret understanding that the player does not belong to the| | lower club, but that the lower club | is merely holding him for the high- | er club. In some instances no trans- fer papers are filed at all, a viola- tion of the rules in itself. Officials pretend to comply with| the rules in the second preamble.| Transfer agreements are filled, but these agreements ar fictitious. The| assignee sends through official ' |channels a check for the considera- | tion specified in the transfer agree- lllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIII|llI||||IIIIIIIIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllIIIIIII!IIIII!I||||IIIIlIllII||IIIIll|IIIIIIIIlIllJiIIIIIIIIIIlllIII|l|l|ll|IIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllIllIlllllllllIlllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlE menta, but in the e ths check i |routine transfer, reports to his new club, signs his contract, never know- ing he was momentarily a free ag- | ent. ‘This deprives him of the right, as a free agent, to bargain for his services on' the open market. i The principal behind baseball law is that all deals and transactions should be open and above-board and should give to the player an even break and a chance to show his true | ability. Landis has often expressed his opposition to “chain-gang” baseball in general, but says that as long as such systems are authorized he will | “insist that they are properly op-| erated and insist upon termination of their abuses and misuse as mere instrumentalities %or wholesale ‘cov- ering-up’ of players, depriving play- | ers of their rights and for opvm-l, tion of two or more competing clubs,” CHOICEOF NEW FIRE TRUCK 10 BE POSTPONED Fire Committee of Council fo Receive New Recom- mendation Tuesday Purchase of.a new fire truck for| the City of Juneau will be post- ALL WHITE BEAUTY ACTIVATOR WASHING ACTION L} QUIET WASHING ACTION | ] PERMADRIVE MECHANISM L] GENERAL ELECTRIC MOTOR " NO OILING REQUIRED [ ] GENERAL ELECTRIC GUARANTEE — Alaska Electric Light & Power School For left turn 1.
