CLAIMS ‘ORGANIZED BASEBALL MONOPOLY’

Rep. Cannon

Makes Plea For Judgment

‘Wisconsin Statesman Says ' Agreements of Owners Violate Laws.

By United Press WASHINGTON, April 2.—Rep. Raymond J. Cannon (D. Wis.) today asked Attorney General Homer S. Cummings to determine whether club control over baseball players “organized baseball monopoly” which violates anti-trust laws. | In a public letter to Cummings, Cannon said that existed between all clubs “that no club owner will hire or engage the service of any baseball player if such player is unable to reach an agreement with the club with which he isjor has been playing.” “THis: combination has made it possible for the magnates owning the ball clubs to dictate and impose upon Jthe players such terms as they desirg,” Cannon wrote. He|charged ‘“cqercion and intimidation” of players, and said! “Ing order to hoodwink and mislead ithe baseball public, the baseball hnagnates each year permit the

| publi¢ation in the press of the sal-

aries of two or three outstanding players on each team, but refuse to let tHe sporting writers thtoughout the nation know what salaries they are aying all of the other players, that | is, the hardworking, everyday ball player who renders services in behalf of the magnates during the best ears of his life. Thus, recently a well known baseball magnate of the American League told the sporting writers it was none of the public’s | business what salary the players on his club were receiving.” b Facts Not Known

“All of these facts are not allowed to become public by the magnates, and the tyrannical power of these owners ot baseball prevents the players from bringing them to the notice of the people. “Ilicall these matters to your attention in detail ta show you how daring, brazen and bold this band of tyrannical club owners has become. “Of course, a parallel situation in any other industry, by means of a closed monopoly of employers thai would arbitrarily bar employees from their work unless the employees agreed to work for one particular employer upon arbitrary terms dictated by such employer, would not be tolerated by either law | or public opinion. “IF am convinced a situation exists which is not only in violation

“an agreement’ |

of law, but which would meet with the immediate disapproval of the great mass of the American people who are lovers of baseball, if they knew the facts.” ;

Frick Says He's Not Alarmed

By United Press NEW YORK, April 2. —Ford Frick. president of the National League, said today that the Supreme Court ruled about 20 years ago that baseball was a “peculiar business” and that the “reserve clause” in a player's contract was necessary for successful organized baseball. Frick. said his office was not concerned over a letter Rep. Raymond J. Cannon (D. Wis.) sent today to Attorney General Homer S. Cummings asking him to determine whether baseball clubs’ control over players amounts to an “organized baseball monopoly” which violates antitrust laws.

Times Special . BOWLING GREEN, Ky., April 2.— The hitting of Oscar Eckhardt; veteran, and Bob Kahle, rookie, continues to feature the practice games staged by the Indianapolis Indians in their spring training camp here. Playing with the Regulars against the Yannigans yesterday, Eckhardt rammed out two doubles and Kahle collected a single and double. Behind the superior pitching of Jimmy Sharp and Elmer Riddle, the Regulars trounced the Yans, 6 to 0. It was a short tilt ‘of five innings. Sharp allowed the losers but one hit in the three frames he worked and issued but one pass while young Riddle, brother of veteran catcher, gave ties, in two sessions, and fanned one. ] two-bagger off his brgther in the closing stanza.

Four Runs In: First

The Regulars got to Bud Tinning for six blows in two rounds and touched Ox Hartley for ‘one in his two-inning performance. In contrast with their play of Wednesday when they made three errors in the first frame, the Tribe Regulars yesterday played almost flawless ball, Babe Lawrie miscuing on a hard hit grounder that could have easily been scored a safety. Four runs in the first stanza on a single by Lawrie, a double by Eckhardt, a walk to Taylor and doubles

by Lewis and Kahle gave the Regulars more than enough advantage to win without trouble behind %he kind

of pitching they received. Two un-|7.w

earned tallies in the second completely subdued the Yannigans, who got only one runner as far as third during the brief contest. The Indians will go collegiate tomorrow in an exhibition with the local Western Kentucky State Teachers’ College nine. The Bowling Green Barons will be met for the second time on the Sabbath. o
