Veteran Players' tilde
clxctNxATI, Jan. Ill—The Na—‘
tional Baseball Commission Monday
held that the only tests that should be:
applied in the engagement of a minor
league ball player upon his willing-
ness to pay for a salary within the
prescribed limit of the club desiring
his services, should be. his eligibility
to contract. Any other restrictions
imposed by league legislation are held
arbitrary and subversive of the mt»
tional agreement rights of the players
and therefore null and void.
In announcing the ruling the com-
mission says:—"The National Assn-
ciation’s officials and illenibers will be:
held to strict account by the commis—
sion if this ruling is not respected anti
enforced."
The ruling was rendered as a result:
of the resolutions adopted by the. bin--
tional Board at New Orleans reciting
that the Muscatinc Club of the Central
Association had subscribed and voted
for a rule prohibiting the employment.
of more than five veteran players out
its team. In this resolution the Na»-
tional Board and the. Muscatlne club
had subscribed to it in 1915, but 119.1%"
resisted its enforcements in 1916 and
concluded the resolution as follows:—~
“Resolved, That it is the sense at
this lioartl that Manager Egan, of the:
Muscatlne Club, has appeared before:
the courts of baseball with
this board further declines to placu
its stamp of approval on the winning
of pennants by such unfair and um
sportsmanlikc methods.”
The commission, in its ruling, says;
that at the close of last season, when, '
the Muscatine club complained to the
commission that its league refused to
count Home. of its victories in the of-
ficial standing because of its alleged
violation of the veteran playcrc‘ tule- 'I
