Text	[from the New Orleans columnist “Creole”] If the right of reservation be given to the minors with the understanding that they must accept a fixed scale of prices for their players, say $2,000 for pitchers or catchers, $1,500 for infielders and $1,000 for outfielders. This would give the clubs a chance to accept these offers and would not be denounced by its patrons and press for so doing because it would be something over which they had no control. New Orleans would have accepted the $4,5000 [offer for three of its players] this spring were it not because the management feared the public and press, and now they have neither the players or the $4,500.
