More teame of both leagues still figure in the major pennant races than at any time within the past five years. But that does not alter the situation, The sadness of soul on the part of the athlete is not confined to the members of those clubs which already have been eliminated. It is a general epidemic, which affects alike the high and the low, but mostly players who have been content to be back behind ironclad term contracts in snug security. For the tron- clad contract is absolutely no fence against demotion these days. The Federal League has introduced a rather novel \theory in regard to these so-called binding term contracts. The outlaw | Promoters hold that as soon as a player loses his effectiveness his contract | may be broken without notice from his employer. This is not theory alone with the Independents. It has certainly become the practice in a number jof cities, Jacklitsch and Swacina of Baltimore, together with Chief Bender, , are illustrious examples. Half a dozen players of the Buffeds suffered: similar fate, among them Russell Ford. I am told that nearly every club| in the circuit has arbitrarily smashed one or more “soldier's” dream. One of these ou' I asked him why he case to the courts. “That's just what the Federal League | told us to do if we weren't satisfed, That outlaw bunch will throw out whom it pleases and fight the cases to ‘the highest court. Its members have the money to carry on such a legal battle—haven't they been burning it up jin unlimited supply for two years? We players might be able to put up a fight by taking one case and all sticking be- [hind it financially, 1 tried to inter~ est the gang in such a scheme, but couldn't et @ tumble, The bunch thought the Feds are getting ready for the blow-off, and couldn't see any logic fn gambling one penny of law ©: penses against the uncertain future.’ 1 saw Chief Bender last winter Just ts I saw recently, @—<$<$$<_$$_| Attend Races at Belmont Park| BELMONT PARK, Sept racing here this afternoon drew out | 20,000 of the bh iday sport-lovers, A} | Photograph of the gathering from the | top section of the grand stand would have shown a densely packed picture | of cheerinf humanity.
