Text	[from an interview of Spalding by Palmer] “Did you notice John Ward's expressed wish for a joint conference between representatives of the League and Brotherhood of players, as printed in The Sporting Life last week?” “Yes; wants the form of contract changed, does he not?” “Yes, among other things. He wants to do away with the one-year term and substitute a three or five years' term, the player to be free upon the market at its expiration.” “Wee, it would not work. The players themselves would not want it. I think I should approve of such a conference, however. It would enable club officials and directors to explain many points in connection with the question which Ward brings up which I think they do not fully understand. I shall always be ready and willing to discuss any questions bearing upon the relations between the clubs and their players, if such discussion will make our relations any more satisfactory.
