OPPOSE RESERVE AND FARMING RULES aked to Constder yers fn Making ers and Holding Claims for Serv Owners of Clubs the Wishes of Tr NEW YORK, Dec. 12.—After trylog for two days the National league magnates finally got into session tonight. When the meeting was called to order by Presi- dent Young (here were present: A. H. Soden, W. H. Grant and J. B. Blllings, Bos- ten; W. W. Kerr, Barney Dreyfus and P. L. Auten, Pittsburg; A. J. Reach and Colo- nel John I. Rogers, Philadelphia; F. A Abell, Edward Hanlon and Charles E betts, Brooklyn; Fred Knowles, New York; James Hart, Chicago; John T. Brush, Cin- clnati, and F. DeHaas Robison and Stan- ley Robison, St. Louls This was the busiest day that the league magnates have put in. The committee ap- pointed by the league to hear the gr ances of the Players’ Protective assocla- tlon went into session this morning. The committee is composed of Messrs, Rogers, Soden and Brush. The players' organiza- tion's demand that the session be an open one was acceded to and whoen the session began the parlor was crowded. The meeting wes opened by Mr. Soden, who stated that as a result of correspond ence between Mr. Taylor and the league magnates the committee had been ap- pointed to listen to the demands of the players. The committee, he sald, was ap- pointed last September, but for various reasons could not meet the players' com. mittee until the present time. Mr. Soden sald that tho committee had no power to act, but would report the conference to the league. Demands of the Playe Relative to the players’ demands Mr. Taylor sald there were just three defects in the present form of contract that the players wanted corrected. These were a modification of the reserve clause, the en- tire elimination of the “farming out” élavse and the modification of the clause relating to the power of the club owners to buy and sell players or claim them without first getting the player's consent. Before he would comsent to present the players’ demands to the loague's coms mittee Mr. Taylor exacted a promise that the committee would report the matter to the league immediately and that some action would be taken by the league at its present session. Mr. Taylor demurred to treating with the committee at first, on the ground that it had no power to a He asked that the matter be laid over until it could be presented to a fuil meot- ing of the magnates. Both Chairman Soden and Colonel Rogers assured Mr. Taylor that the matter would be more expeditiously transacted If pre- sented to the committee. “This matter is a serlous one to us,” sald Colonel Regers. “Contracts are nine- tenths of the assots of a club. The com- mittee will make a fair and truthful reporc to the league of what you say to us." Mr. Brush sald that officially the mem- bers of the league had not been informed as to the purposes of the players' organiza- tion and they looked upon it as a sccret organization Into which many players playing managers—had not beem taken. Mr. Taylor dehfed this and, after re- celving a promise of immediate action, he presented his case. Why the Pl » Organize. “We belleve,” said Mr. Taylor, “that the players and club owners can get together and adjust these matters without resorting to war. We are not looking for trouble. We are slmply moving with an idea of puttiug the game on a higher plane. The salory of the player, wo know, is regulated by the law of supply and demand. If we can make the game more popular we make 1t more profitable financlally and then our aries will increase. The public has ldeas about the ball player. Today, under the present contract system, a ball player is iooked upon as a slave. He is a slave un- der the reserve rule, Wo know that the reserve rule is the bulwark of base ball, but it should not be abused. What can be done to modify it? The players suggest that it be limited and that no player may be reserved by a club for more than five Jears, "*“We don't think you have the right, morally or'legally, to hold a player for an indefinite perfod. Would not base ball be improved by the changlng of star players from club to club? What we want Is a modification of the reserve rule. Let each club not reserve more than ten mea. ““As to the farming-cut system we want it aboliehed altogether. There is no justice in it at all for the player. If a man ceases to be valuable to a club, or you have somebody that can play his position hetter, con't farm him out. Give him his release. Lot him have a chance to play with some club that needs him. “As to the system of buying, velling and claiming players the player wants the contract modified so that he will have some- thing to say in the matter. As the mattgr stands now the contract s all ome-sided. The player is powerless to do or to act.” Ward's Co At this point Colonel Rogers brought up the famous contract offered to the league fn 1888 by John Ward, as showing the weakness of Mr. Taylor's contentions. “That 18 an fsolated case.” sald Mr. Taylor, “and dealt not with the transfer of a player, but with an entire club. Should, In the course of events, the magnates de- sire to transter one player or the entire team from one city to another the players would not object. “What we want i3 to heln the magnates put the game on a better status. The players have talked all these matters over. They agree with you that rowdyism should be abolished at any cost. In this respect the players have put the matter up to the owners. The playcrs are human. In the heat of a game they lose their heads, but you have the power to stop it. You have the power to discipline fractious players. Why don’'t you administer fines? The question of stopping the rowdy ball Is up to you We want these things put in the contract We realize that you magnates could easily get togetLer and have a secret under- standing that would render inoperative the chauges we ask for, but we belleve you will be fair and square with us. Do as we ask and we .believe base ball will take on u now life." At the conclusion of the hearing Mr. Tay lor submitted a draft of the contract players wanted put in vogue. The commit- teo promised the players to consider the matter at ouce und give them a decislon tomorrow. Immediately league's circult committee, Messrs, Hart, Brush, Rogers and Soden went into seasion. Thelr sesslon lasted until 5 o'clock, when the meeting of the league was called Ignore Bun Johnsou. At the conclusion of the meeting of the | circult committee Colonel Rogers sald the meeting was informa! and he could not tell what was done. “We talked over the American league, but it was in an informal way. We could not discuss ft officially, for the reason that there is nothing to discuss Mr. Johnson has not made any demands on after the hearing the composed of the National league, nor h slgned the | National agreement. Just at'present the American league has no existence so as the National league I8 concerned.' After the conterence A. J. Reach of Phil adelphia sald ‘1 do not believe personally that the players will get all they ask for 1 am in favor of changing the contract fn- somuch as it relates to the ‘farming out' clause. That should be abolished. As to the first and third'‘demands relating to the reservo rulo and to the buying and gell ing of players, I do not think the league will grant the request of the players. To grant these demands would benefit the play- ers but little and w i, position materially Form Dem A memorandum of the players' demands was submitted to the league today. Subse- quently Mr. Taylor made public the prinei- pal points covered in the memorandum. They are as follows: First. Club owners not to have the right to ‘reserve’’ players at a salary less than that provided for the ensulng year, nor for more than throe years. to” buy, sell, . select or claim er for any perfod in any w writter consent, Club owners to pay Tles received In actual play No player to be suspended with- times & season, or tar assign, trade, ervice of any ¥, without phvsiclan's Fourth out pay more than thr two woeks at & time. Fitth. Committee of arbitration, one mem- ber to be chosen by owners, one by pla; ers and a third by these two, such commi tee to pass on all differences between own- ers and players, The magnates adjourned at 830 tonight. After the meeting broke up President Young sald: “There is mothing to give out for publication. The magnates took up the subject of the demands of the play- ers and discussed it. Nothing was done, however. The matter will be taken up at tomorrow's session And then something may be done. The players’ demands was the only matter up at tonight's session.’” The circuit committee held another meet- ing after the leaguo meeting had adjourned. What they did was kept secret. Deals for Players. E. H. Cunningham, owner of the Norfolk (Va) team, arrived in town today. Accord- ing to Mr. Cunningham, the New York Base Ball club, in receipt of Pitcher Mat- thewson last year, agreed to pay $2,000 for his release. Although Matthewson has par- ticipated in several games in a New York uniform, Mr. Cunningham asserts the money has never been paid. The matter probably will be taken before the league. The New York Base Ball club has secured the services of two minor leaguers in Pul- sifer, an outflelder, and Conroy, first base man. The Brooklyn club today comoleted @ deal by which they get Shortstop Elber- fleld from Detroft.
