Tho atnto leaguers declare that
itlioy aro only willing to mako small
concession, mr.intnlnlng Dint there Is
no particular Inducement held out to
them to join tho ranks of organized
basoball. Unless thoy ciui bo assured
of solo control ovor their players and
of protootlon from discipline to those
who hevo Jumped from organized
bnsebnll fwus to tholr ranks, they
will refii'o to outer Into nny agrco

Another point which will caniBO n-
