Chicago, Nov. 9 — The American league bas no power to hold the play- ers on the three clubs which have Pllni the new National league and every man on these ciubs can play in the new organization next year, ac- cording to an opinion given tonight by Alfred Austrian, attorney for the two Chicago major league clubs and advisor in the drafting of the Lasker plan for reorganization of the game. Mr. Austrian's opinfon was render- ed in response to statements from rep- resentatives of the five clubs which are backing Ban Johnson in the base- ball war that the league owned all its players and that the Chicago White Sox, New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox clubs consequently could “take only their ball parks into the new league.” “The players belong to the clubs and their contracts are made with the clubs,” said Mr. Austrian. “The league is_merely a voluntary organization which has no contract power over the men other than to prescribe certain clauses which may be put into con- tracts. I co not care to say at pres- ent whether even this power, which voluntarily has been given the league, is lawful. - “There is no doubt, however, that the Chicago, Boston and New York clubs, formerly of the American league, may take their entire playing person- nel into the new league, regardless of claims to the contrary which may be made by Mr. Johnson and his five backers.’ The new National league, however, is preparing for extensive court action d expects numerous injunctions to applied for by the five American league clubs before they permit the players on the other three clubs to be taken from the league, according to {ehreseatatives of the new organiza- jon. \ “We e-pect bitter court _battles,” #ald one club owner, “but we have pre. ceeded carefully and have no doubt as 10 the outcome. The new league fs composed of the morey-making clubs and they are ready to spend every cent necessary to win. This club owner pointed out that f necessary the Chicago, New York and Boston clubs could put teams of ama- teurs in the fleld as their representa- tives in the American league if they 50 desired. The three former American league clubs are made up of many of the stars of the game, including Babe minors from joining with the . new.

Efforts were made to have Sexton replace Farrell as secretary, the chief office, but not-enough votes Were mus- tered. It is planned, however, to give Sexton a salary of $5,000 a year. Heretotore he served without compen- sation. Previous to his address- be- fore the convention, President John- son_issued a statement declaring that “it was warg, to a finish” and that the American league ® would place new clubs in Chicago, New York and Bos- ton to replace those joining the new National league. “What baseball needs is to get rid of some of its recalcitrant club own- ers,” he said. 3 FPresident Johnson of the American league, in his address to the minor leagues, characterized A. D. Lasker, of Chicago, sponsor .of the Lasker plan for baseball reorganization, as “one who has not ehed his eWaddling clothes in baseball” and declared that the minors should not/show any par- tiality to either side in the major league dispute. 4 “The American league does not came here with the thought of asking you to carry any of our burdens,”. Presi- dent Johnson said. “It must be clear to you that you should pursue a cen- tral course showing no favor or par- tiality to either” “There is a question as to whether there will be any serious difficulties t> adjust, but I believe my position ehould be made clear. I think you ehould have equal representation on tne national board and that you should have equal power with the Amerigan snd National league, We can offer 3ou no more at this time. I have been ~uthorized by our board of directors to request you to appoint a committee of three to meet a committee of the same Aumber from the National and Ameri- can leagues to reorganize the game and all the differences should be swept aside in view of the serious céndition - of Rock !

RETAINING OF PLAYERS DEPENDS ON GOOD WILL OF THE MEN St. Louis, Nov. 9 — Whether the American league will be able to re- tain its players may depend on the “good_will” of the men, according to Phil Ball, president of the St. Louis Americans, who returncd today from Chicago. Ball said it was expected the majori- ty of players would be in line on their racts. nchisés and players, however, are part of the assets of the American league,” he asserted, “and camnot be transferred to another organization. “We will be doing _business next | year, but as to our plans we are, of Course, merely marking time until the situation clears. I don't know where the minor leagues stand, but I cer- tainly am surprised that six of the owners of the National league clubs should ‘have taken the stand they did. However, some of us have been through one war and we are here to stick for\lhp next, if they will have it. It will be a healthier league with three magnates out, although we have noth- ing against Ruppert of New York.” g INVITED FRENCH TRACK TEAM .

Prior to”tHe war, says a statement by the’ National City Bank_of 'New we 'ranked thira among the. coal. exporters ‘of the ‘world, our exports in the year unmedlk(ely pre- céding the war having been slightly less than - 20,000,006 “tons - against 76,000,000 tons exported: by Great Britain and ap- proximately 30,000,000 tons by Germany. In the eight months endlbg With August, 1920, 'the latest date for which detailed figures are available, our exports of coal were, in round terms, 23,000,000 tons while those of Great Britain’were, in the same period, but 18,375,000 tons and those of Germany far less than those of | cither the United ‘States or Great Bri- tain. This change ' which has brought the| United States to the head of the list of world coal exporters, is due, adds the bank's statement, both-to an increase in our own exports and a decrease in”those of Great Britain and Germany. Our coat ~xports, Which aggregate, in. round terms 25,000,000 tons ‘in- the fiscal year 1920, were only 13,000,000 tons in 1910, 19,001 000 in 1914, 24,000,000 in 1917, 26,000, 000 in 1318, and,"as above ‘indicated 28, 000,000 tons-in"{he' fiscal year- 1920, 7ana seems likely to_be mearly " 40,000,000. in the calendar: vear-1920, 1o total for the latest: months for which -figres: are available having been practically- déubled that of ‘the same months’ of - the. imme- diately preceding year.
