Text | [from an interview of Soden] Yes, I suppose it was a victory for the Brotherhood. The main thing they were after was to be recognized. They gained that point, but we never ought to have allowed it. And we would never have had to recognize them if the Westerners had kept their mouths shut and let Rogers alone. As for the contract, I am perfectly satisfied with it. It is a fairly equitable one, in fact as much so as you can make it between a responsible party and an irresponsible one. The contract don't bother me. It is not that, but now that this so-called Brotherhood has gained a foothold, I fear we may see trouble from it in the future. They certainly gained nothing by the provision that if a player is reserved he shall be signed at the same salary the next year. The result will be we shall be very careful in signing a man and pay smaller salaries. |
