league agrees.
Another topic Is the new players’
contract, recently drawn up by the Na-
tional Commission. Although the con-
tract Is said to contain clauses that
may bring forth protests from the play-

erably probable, (hie qf the clauses
objectionable to the fraternity stipu-
lates that when a major league player
