NO CHANCE FOR A. A. DESERTERS League Votes to Bar All Players Who Jumped—Tribe Officials Back. President William C. Smith and Manajjer Jack Hendricks of the Indians were at Washington Park today preparing to top off &nal plana for the spring jaunt to the Southland eeriy next month. The Hoosier officials reached the city late last night from Chicago, where they sat in on the annual session of the American Association. They brought back the word that American Association ball players who caw fit to play outlaw baseball last season can continue to play just that kind of game. The A. A. magnates settled, among other business masters, on the fate of the contract jumpers, and salary holdout artists by barring them from further participation in A. A. circles until their suspensions are up. JTMPEKS' TURK TO BE “GOATS." This means that Indianapolis has lost all chance of getting O Mura, Cruin, Yerkes, Callahan and Hill back, but neither Owner Smith nor Manager Hendricks feels any great loss. It was last year that the Indian officials were made to suffer by the harsh acts of the jumpers. and now they believe It is time for the Junipers to do the suffering. At anv rate, the eight club owners agreed at the Chicago meeting to close the A. A. door on the piayere who took French leave when their services were most needed, and this means that Beals Becker of Kansas City and a few others of the same type who were trying to slip back into the league must remain out of the' fold. Owuer Smith stated today that the meeting was a cheerful affair and that league problems were settled without 5 much quibbling. All concerned seemed to be of the opinion that the coming season is going to see the national pastime enjoying itsTlsual popularity. So confident are the club owners that a banner season looms that all are planning spring training Jaunts in big league style. Outfielder Lee Bartlett, recently purchased from the Winnipeg club of the Indians, has signed a Tribe contract and It was received at Washington park today. The Tribe squad will head, for Crowley, La., March 2 and all players living north of the Mason and Dixon line will be aboard when the special roils out of this city. Owner Smith is pieased with reports~received regarding the facilities for training at Crowley and believes 1 It Jvst the spot to put the athletes in; shape for a fast start. The A. A. voted against the restoration of the draft when the question was put before the owners at the Chicago gathering. The Indianapolis and Toledo clubs stood alone in a vote favoring the restore- j tion. They favored it because the play- 1 ers are strong for the draft. OLD BI S IDEA FAILS TO I*ASS. The attempt to revive the old custom of carrying players to and from ball narks In horse-drawn busses because of *he advertising features failed of adoption. The club owners adopted a resolution I calling for a benefit ball game, as a 1 testimonial for Louis Knapp. Knapp was an umpire In the Association for six years. He died last fall. The proceeds from the game will be given to Knapp's widow. It was agreed to play the game in Louisville early jn the season. President Hickey was empowered to choose two 1 players from each of the seven other 1 clubs and send the all-star team against the Colonels. The players who are chosen will appear la the uniforms of their respective club. The club owners will pay the expenses of sending the men to Louisville.
