CLAIMS ‘ORGANIZED BASEBALL MONOPOLY"

Rep. Cannon

Makes Plea For Judgment

Wisconsin Statesman Says

Agreements of Owners Violate Laws.

By|United Press ASHINGTON, April 2.-—Rep. Raymond J. Cannon (D. Wis.) today asked Attorney General Homer S. Cummings to determine whether club control over baseball players amounts to an “organized baseball monopoly” which violates anti-trust laws. In a public letter to Cummings, Cannon said that “an agreement” 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 is or has been playing.” “This combination has made it possible for the magnates owning the ball clubs to dictate and impose upon the players such terms as they desire,” Cannon wrote. He charged “coercion and intimidation” of players, and said: “In order to hoodwink and mislead the baseball public, the baseball magnates each year permit the publication in the press of the salaries of two or three outstanding players on each team, but refuse to let the sporting writers thtoughout the nation know what salaries they are paying all of the other players, that is, the hardworking, everyday ball player who renders services in behalf of the magnates during the est years 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.” © Facts Not Known

- “All of these facts are not allowed to become public by the

| magnadtes, and the tyrannical power of these owners ot baseball pre- | vents the players from bringing {them to the notice of the people. “I call these matters to your. attention in detail ta show you how daring, brazen and bold this band of tyrannical club owners has be- | come. “Of course, a parallel situation in any other industry, by means of a closed monopoly of employers that would arpitrarily bar em- | ployees from their work unless the employees agreed to work for one particular employer upon arbitrary terms dictated by ‘such employer,

law or public opinion. ~ “I am convinced a situation exists which is not only in violation

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 Osear 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 thie losers but one hit in the three frames he worked and issued but one pass while young Riddle, brother of Johnny Riddle, the veteran catcher, gave up two safeties, in two sessions, walked none and fanned one. Johnny socked a two-bagger off his brother 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 the Rly of pitching they received. Two unearned 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.
