FLAYERS GIVEN A HEARING National League Magnates Listen to the Demandi of the Men. : 4 T '- ' OPPOSE RESERVE AND FARMING RULES Owners of Clubs Asked to Consider the Wishes of Player lit Making Transfers nnil Holding Claims for Services, NEW YORK, Dec. 12. After trying for two da)s the National leaguo magnates finally ot Into session tonight. When the meeting was called to ordor by Presi dent Young thero wero present: A. H. Sodon, W. H. Ornnt and J. I). Hillings, Has ten; W. W. Kerr, Barney Dreyfus and P. L. Auten, Pittsburg; A. J. Reach and Colo nel John I. Rogers, Philadelphia; F. A. Atcll, Edward Hanlon nnd Charles Kb betts, Brooklyn; Fred Knowles, New York; James Hart, Chicago; John T. Brush, Cin cinnati, and F. Dcllaas Hoblson and Stan ley Roblson, St. Louts, Tills was the busiest day that tho league mngnatcs havo put In. Tho commltteo ap pointed by tho lcaguo to hear tho griev ances of tho l'layers' Protective associa tion 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 whon the session bogan tho parlor was crowded. The meeting wr.s opened by Mr. Soden, who stated thnt as a result of correspond enco between Mr. Taylor and tho lcaguo magnates tho commltteo had been ap pointed to listen to tho domands of the players. Tho committee, ho said, was ap pointed last September, but for various reasons could not meet tho players' com mlttce until tho present time. Mr. Soden snld that tho commltteo had no power to act, but would report tho conferenco to the league. Demands of the Plnyers. Rclatlvo to tho players' demands Mr. Taylor said thero wero Just threo defects In tho present form of contract that the players wanted corrected. Thcso wero a modification of tho reservo clnuso, th en tire elimination of tho "farming out" clause nnd tho modification of the clauso relating' to tho power of the club owners to buy nnd sell players or claim them without first getting tho player's consent. Before ho would consent to present th players' demands to tho league's com mltteo Mr. Taylor exacted a promise that tho commltteo would roport the matter to tho league Immediately and that some action would bo taken by tho lcaguo at Ita present session. Mr. Taylor domurrcd to treating with tho commltteo at first, on tho ground that It had no power to act.. Ho nsked thnt the matter bo laid over until It could bo presented to a full meet ing of tho magnates. Both Chairman Soden and Colonel Rogers assured Mr. Taylor that tho matter would be moro expeditiously transacted If pre sented to the committee. "This matter Is a serious ono to us," said Colonel Rogers. "Contracts arc nlne- tcnths of tho nssots of a club. Tho com mltteo will mako a fair and truthful reporc to tho league of what you Bay to us." Mr. Brush said that officially tho mem bers of the league had not been Informed as to the purposes of tho players' organiza tion and they looked upon It as a secret organization Into which many playcM playing managers had not been taken. Mr. Taylor denied this and, after re ceiving' n promise of Immediate' action, he presented his case. Why the Plnyers OrKanlse. "Wo bollove," said Mr. Taylor, "that tho players and club owners can got togotber and adjust these matters without resorting to war. Wo aro not looking for troublo. Wo are simply moving with an Idea of putting the gamo on a higher plane. The sal!ry of the player, wo know, Is regulated by the law of supply and demand. If we can make the gamo more popular wo make It moro profitable financially and then our salaries will Increase. Tho public has Ideas about the ball player. Today, under tho present contract system, a ball player Is looked upon as a slave. Ho Is a slavo un der tho resorvo rule. Wo know thnt thn reserve rule 1b tho bulwark of bnso ball, but It should not be abused. What can bo done to modify It? Tho players suggest that It be limited and that no player may bo, reserved by ta club for moro than flvo y"ears. r "Wo don't tjjl'n'k you havo ' tho right, morally or' legally, to hold a player for an Indefinite period. Would not baso ball be Improved by the changing of star players from club to club? What wo want Is a modification of tho reservo rule. Let each club not reserve moro than ten men, "As to th'o furmlng-cut systom wo want It abolished altogether. There Is no Justice In it at all for the player. If a man ceases to bo valuable to u club, or you have domebody that can play his position better, don't farm htm out. Qlvo him his release. Let him have a chanco to play with eoroo club that needs him. "As to tho system of buying, belling and claiming playors tho player wants the contract modified so that ho will havo some thing to say In tho matter. As tho matter standB now tho contract Is all ane-Blded. Tho playor Is poworless to do or to act." 'Ward's Case Not In I.I nr. At this point Colonel Rogers brought up the famous contract offered to the league In 1S88 by John Ward, aB showing the weakness of Mr. Taylor's contentions. "That Is an Isolated case." said Mr. Taylor, "and dealt not with tho transfer of a player, but with an entire club. Should, In tho course of events, tho magnates do Biro to transfer one player or the entire team from one city to another the playors would not object. "What we want Is to help tho macnates put the game on a better status. The players have talked all thcso mattora over. They agreo with you thnt rowdyism tliouhl be abolished nt any cost. In this respect the players have put tho matter up to the owners. Tho playors are human. In tho heat of a game they loso their heads, but you havo tho power to stop It. You hnvo tho powor to discipline frnctlous plnyers. Why don't you administer tines? Tho question of stopping the rowdy ball Is up to you. We want these things put in the contract. We renllzo that you magnates could easily get together and hnvo n secret under standing that would render Inoperntlve thu chaage'i we ask lor, bill we believe you will be fair and square with us, Do us wo nslt and wo.bollevo base bnll will tako on u now Hie." At tho conclusion of tho bearing Mr. Tay lor submitted n draft of tho contract the players wanted put In voguo. Tho commlt teo promised tho players to consider tho matter at cuco and glvo them a decision tomorrow. Immediately after tho hearing the league's circuit committee, composed of Messrs. Hart. Brush, Rogers and Soden went Into session. Their session lasted until 6 o'clock, whon tho meeting of the league was called, Ignore Hun Johnson, At tho conclusion of the meeting of the circuit committee Colonel Rogers said the meeting was Informal nnd ho could not tell what was done "Wo talked over the American league, but It was In an Informal way. We could not discuss It officially, for tho reason that there Is nothing to discuss, Mr. Johnson has not made any demands nn tho National league, nor bus lv signed the . . , ...... T.. nt "nv..nnn . ) , n ftauuuui ugi I'vuivui. uDb uv yivocuv tut American lcaguo has no existence so far ns the National league Is concerned." After tho conference A, J, Reach of Phil adelphia said: "1 do not bellcvo personally thot tho players will get all they ask for. I am In favor of changing the contract In somuch as It relates ,to the 'farming out' cla'use. That should b'o abolished. As to the first nnd ' third l'J'eranrids relating to tho reservo rulo and o the buying and sell ing of playets, I do not think the league will grant tho request of the playors. To grant these demands would benefit tho play ers but llttlo nnd weaken the clubowners' position materially." Formnt Demand of Players, A memorandum of the players' demands was submitted to tho league today. Subse quently Mr. Taylor made public tho princi pal points covered In the memorandum. They are ns follows: First. Club owners not to have tho right to "reserve" players at a salary loss than that provided for tho cnoulni; year, nor for moro than three years. Second. Not to buy, sell, assign, trade, loan, accept, select or claim service of any player for any period In uny way, without Ills wrlttoi' consent, Third. Club owners to pay physician's fees for Injuries received In actual play. Fourth. No player to be suspended with out pay more than three times a season, or two weeks at a time. Fifth. Committee of arbitration, ono mem ber to bo chosen bv owners, one by play ers and a third by these two, such commit tee to pass on nil differences between own ers and players. The magnates adjourned at 8:30 tonight. After tho meeting broke up President Young snld: "There Is nothing to give out for publication. Tho magnates took up tho subject of the domnnds of tho play ers and discussed It. Nothing was dono, howevor. Tho matter will bo taken up at tomorrow's session nnd then somothlng may bo dono. Tho players' domnnds was the only matter up at tonight's session." The circuit committee held another meet ing nfter the lcaguo meeting had adjourned. What they did was kept secret. DeuU for Players. E. II. Cunningham, owner of tho Norfolk (Va.) team, arrived in town today. Accord ing to Mr. Cunningham, tho New York Baso Ball club, In receipt of Pitcher Mat thewson last year, agreed to pay $2,000 for his release. Although Matthowson has par ticipated In several games in a New York uniform, Mr. Cunningham asserts the money hns never been paid. The matter probably will bo taken bofore the league. The Now York Baso Ball club has secured the services of two minor leaguers In Pul slfer, au outflolder, and Conroy, first base man.
