| Text | There is a break in the stone wall the national agreement has built around the national game which should be repaired at once. The California League last season employed three ineligible players—J. J. Smith, Ebright, and Whitehead—and is likely to become a refuge for more of that ilk next season. Close upon the announcement that the Newark Club's reserved pitcher, Norman Baker, has signed with the Sacramento Club comes the news that Third Baseman Alvord, reserved by Des Moines, has also signed with that club, and that other Des Moines reserved players contemplate doing the same thing. The California League surely needs looking after. It is a prosperous institution, pays good salaries, and is apparently permanently established. Under the circumstances, no strong efforts should be spared to make the League an ally instead of a menace to national agreement interests.
