not seen a copy of the 1917 contraof
recently adopted by the motor leagues,
the reported change in the clause re.-
lztting to payment to players injured

dismissed because the condition com-
plained of does not and cannot exist!

national commission from the resolu-
tions of the National association, .
which will have the effect of bringing _'
