IS A VERY COMPLICATED ONE
NKW YORK. Jan. 12.-Davld T. Kulx.
president of the Tlase Ball Players' fra
ternity, ha addressed a special com
munication to the members of the or
ganisation calling attention to the com
plicated contractual relations that will
exist between Federal league players and
magnates under the proposed peace agree
ment, Involving organized snd Inde
pendent base ball Interest. Mr. Kults
has outlined the situation In part as fol
lows: "Although the ihc agreement between
organised ball and the Federal league
has not been maduillc authoritatively,
It ram safely be said that organized ball
will not assume the long-term Idei'ul
league contract, except where It desires
to doso.
l.lkrly Hespert Then..
"It will probably respect thee con
tracts, but will not necessarily assume
them. In other words. It an organized
hall club desires the services of a player
who htis signed a long-term contract. It
will make terms with his Federsl league
owner and will then be obliged to assume
the contract In its entirety. This the
player ahould be careful to see to, as the
club hsve no right to compel him to
sign a le favorable contract' than the
one he .already ha. Where, however, no
organised eiub desti-es.to assume the con
tract tif any" particular player, tnere win
be, In my .opinion, no obligation on' the
part of the. organised' club to do so. The
player. In thl situation will "have only
hi Federal league owner to look to.
"In order to preserve their rights all
Player ahould Bet ) ennasnt nf their
J Federal league owners before elgnlng w:h
sn organised ball club. If they oo not do
this they may lose the advantage of their
retleral league contract without gaining
any corresponding advantate tinder their
new agreements.
"The situation I a very complicated
one and players should be careful to get
competent advice before entering Jnto anv
new contractual relations."
WAIVER RULE NOT FOR
THE FEDERAL PLAYERS
ST. IXll'IS. Jan. It.-Flnlder A. Jones,
manager of the combined 8t. Louis
American and Federal league teams, an
nounced here tonight that hi summls
slon of a list of former Federal player
for waiver by various American and
National league clubs was not an ac
knowledgement that such waiver Is a
pre-requtslta to the disposition of Fed
ersl players.
"On the contrary," Jones said, "I feel
confident that the St. Ioula Federal
league players are not subject to tha
waiver rule, of Organised base ball. 1
requested tha American and National
league clubs to waive on certain players,
merely to avoid possible complications,
inasmuch aa the application of the waiver
rule to Federal league player haa not
yet been definitely settled by the Na
