[from the Indianapolis correspondent] There is strong and general opposition among the Indianapolis and other players to signing the present form of contract adopted by the league, and many assert their preference to playing in an international club rather than submit to the present arrangement. The main objections to the present contracts are the right reserved to lay players off if they fail to play a strong game, and also the right of the management of any club to deduct salary during the sickness of a player, or any wound or injury he may receive which would incapacitate him from duty.
