I am tired of what so many fans have justly termed ‘syndicate baseball’ and am determined to end the prac- tice once and for all. razee’s conduct in disposing of all the best play- ers on the Boston team shows him up as one looking to none but his own advantages. “TI personally am going to recommend before the con- ference of club owners in Chicago in February that the management of the Red Sox be taken from Frazee. | ve “The promiscuous selling of good players for per- sonal gain, which results in the total wrecking of a ball club, is going to be made a thing of the past. “Frazee’s conduct sets a bad precedent. The game must be saved from such tactics. “It is not purely a thing for barter. The interests of the fans and club stockholders are to be safe- guarded. “I shall never permit the wholesale killing of com- munity team pride by another repetition of Frazee’s action. “Not only has this man wrecked the playing power of the Red Sox, diminished the box receipts for next season and hurt the American league in general, but his course has been directed against the fan.

Incidentally, Vancouver smasi Seattle's winning streak of four games by a 5 to 0 scoring three goals in the first period and one in the and one in the third. Fraser, stepping into Roy Rickey’s place, showed up well, He handled himself pretty well, using his stick in class fashion and he stickhandled like a veteran. His experience, however, showed several times when he was |drawn in by the speed of “Smoky” Harris on the forward line. MacKay, Skinner and Adams scored in turn for Vai ver in the first period when the Mets were badly off their stride. Harris scored the fourth goal in the second session when he made a beautiful backhanded shot about 15 feet out. Parkes scored from Adams in the third period. The defeat still leaves the Mets in first place as they have nine points , Victoria seven and Vancouver six. TIGERS WILL STANDINGS Won. Lost. Tea. re’ | | Its finally come to Heht.
