[editorial matter] The National League advances the plea that its player have given it the option of their services; that therefore they are virtually contracted men, and that it would be only taking back its own should it induce them to sign League contracts, even after they had signed Brotherhood contracts. The Brotherhood men, on the other hand, deny the League's claim, and consider themselves free agents and legally competent to dispose of their services as they see fit.
