Dave Fultz the Target
in Speech by Herrmann
Chairman of Supreme Court of
Baseball Makes a Few
Terse Remarks.
EXPLAINS COMMISSION SIDE
Says One Action of President
of Players' Fraternity Was
Revolutionary, to Say
the Least.
Columhus. Ohio, Nov. LI? August Herr?
mann, chairman of the National Commis?
sion and president of the Cincinnati Reds,
took ^)'?v,' PultS, president of the "Base?
ball Flayers' Fraternity, to task In a
?peech ?t a dinner given to th.? delegates
t? th?1 national association meeting here
t.i-nlght.
He tatplslasd in detail just why Fultz
i?. persona non grata t<> organized base?
ball, besides giving the !ir>t authorltativ?
Information about a proposed strike of
players. He also had a few words to say
?bout the new Fed? ral I/?ague. giving it I
official recognition, and declaring that the j
laM is op< n to all, that the littest might I
?urvlve. j
V?rioi:s rumora lave been circulated to
the effect that Dave Fultz was about as
popular amonir the powers that be in
l.iaif-ball as a cat on the bach fence about
1 a. m.. but nothing official has been
forthcoming until Herrmann Fpoke to?
night, as Im ?al ;. "for the commission."
It ?eema thai Dave Fultz. ehortly after
his eleetlo? Il ! sad of the fraternity, b. -
pu editing ? department m a monthly
maftaxi-i?- devoted to "the activities of <>r
ganlZt '
About all F atz did, according to Carry,
was to la? lut?, th*? commission al every
?pj.ortinity. Herrmann would not go so
? stat?- that Fultz was intent on
'.-??:? trouble, but he di?l say that
?at do time has anything of a commen
? racter pertaining to the coin-]
; eared in this section of the
tlon "
This evidently is where the shoe pinches,

fraternity for making public, the demands

missi lisalng them pro and con.,

whi:h would be refused, as he wa?? credit?
ed with doing in newspaper interviews
After declaring that the commission
would l? broad minded enough to re, ?f??-?
Fultz as a representative of th? players,
he asjareeeed the h??,'e that th?- members
if the fraternity would appoint s com?
mittee among themselves to press their
claims, and at least accompany Fultz, if
not leave him out In the cold altOgettM r.
After going "ii reconl as favoring the
? :iiz<tti"ti of i-as? ball play?
trg, ?tatlng that "the commission is of;
the opinion that the relations between
eiTlcii.K lub owners and players will
"aarel y he more thoroughly cemented
than ander the cceidltlons that heirs ?***?

Before passing fron this aubject 1 de?
sirejo state that the views u expressed
i?> nie to-nitjht are those of the members
\L . r01""dssioii. In BO fur as the Na?
tional Association and Its players are af
rectea, the adjustment of these demands
ai.- entirely in the hands of that associa?
tion and its national board.
Mr. Herrmann announced that on last
Saturday th?- commission had received
twenty-si-, petitions etnbodjins Beventeen
suggestions for consideration. ThcSC
were followed a f?-w day's later by an ex?
planatory letter signe?! by neurly all the
Piepen In the major and Class A.v
leagues.
Taking up the matter of the outlaws
he said:
In the lest twe years we have seen and
rca.d s great deal about the United states
and Federal leagues, two organisations
not operating under the national sgree
luent The commission has never gun?
vu record with reference to its attitude
with resi.t to either of these leagues,
but we will do so now with reference to
the latter, as tn.- ni.- of the former has
already been ended.
Baseball la not, cannot and will not be
confined to thus.- leagues, ctube or players
win? operate under the national agree?
ment The reame is open to ad. Any one
has a right to engage In it in any capacity
that in- pleases, without any Interference
on tin part ?>f those engaged in o'-ganiz?.!
ball, and 1 may add then- will be BO in?
terference unless it is done in a retalia?
tory way when contractual obligation-,
or v.-sted rights are illegally interfered
With.
Competition In all lines of business must
be expo? ted St all times, and this must
ai ply to baseball as in anything else.
When competition comes, it must !.?? met,
and the question then to be determined
is tii?- survival of the fltt? si
In conclusion i desire to state that t'" re
are two suggestions that the commission
reconnu? i,.is thai the National Association
ami ts im mi give the nmst serious "end
car-, ful < onalderation:
First We are firmly of the opinion that
the contracta between club owners and
players In all leagues operating under
the national agreement should bo of a
uniform character,
.-? ond?-That a change In the rules <>f
the National Association holding that aide
juto merits are Illegal, Unie I embodied
In the player's contract, should be modi?
fied, by qualifying sU,-i, rules and adding
thereto, "uniese auch side agreements are
signed by both parties Interested therein.
or have 1,,-en established by a preponder
of the evhl? i.?? submitted as having
been mutually entered into "
FAVOR UNIFORM CONTRACTS
National Association to Adopt
Style for All Leagues.
Columbus. Ohio, Nov. 12. Five commit?
tees were announced by President Sexton
of the National AaaOClatlon Of Profes?
sional Baseball Leagues during to-day's
-MSStOn. One committee was assigned the
problern of devising B way whereby s]
uniform style of ontrn.-t >-,,n he prepared
for players of the live different I lasses of
leagues affiliated with the organization.
The greatest obstacle BOW apparent,
f as.-l all men say. is the possible ins?r
llon of a clause requiring a player to be
given notice, of n hase ten days prior to
the timo the rol? as.- i sn be made sffOC
tive. it is understood that CltM I
leagues are willing to wuk under this
plan, but those in .lasses B, C and I? do
not favor the Idea of having t?> .any and
pay B useless player for ten ?lays.
President T? arney of the Three I Lc?K"?
Bterted s movemetat for b reform in th?
System Of drafting players, and was sup?
ported in a tight against th<- praetlCfSJ of
major league stubs In <-laiming a large
n nil" r of players and then muking caa?
cell.it Ions of the drafts. It was voted
that there sahaii i? no guch proc?dure of
the National Association clubs.
Th?- list of requests from the Players'
Fraternity was read. No action was
taken, it being left to the cornmitt? ?? ?m
contracts to formul?t?? s ?ourse of pro?
cedure to be submitted to the convention
for rritifl' ation.

Attell will leave for the ('oast imtntdi
ately to begin training for the fray. He
still has unbounded Confidence In his abil?

self, that Kilbane is his master. Attell
has always ?ailed Kilbane a "parlor
boxer." who lacked the ri'iuirenients of g
! real champion, and said many times that
if he ever got another .lian.e lie would
win by s knockout. Kilbane announced
Shortly alter winning the title that he
would never give Attell another ?ban.?-,
because of the tactics the latter used ?lur?

however, that Attell was a "has i... ?

he wanted it.

DEFER DIVIDEND ACTION
American Express Directors
Expected to Cut Rate.
No action was taken on the regular
quarterly dltddend o? 3 per cent by direct?
ors of the American Express Company at
their regular November meeting; yester?
day. Francis F. Flagg, vice-president,
would not state what action would be
taken at the Ijeeember meeting, but It Is
reasonably certain that the. company will
cut the present 12 per cent rate to con?
form to the announcement made last July
In connection with the nlstrlbutlon of 45,
00) shares of Well, Fargo & Co. to the
American -Express stockholders in a stock
dividend.
At that time the directors pointed out
that it would piobably be necessary to re?
duce the dividend of the American Bx?
priss Company because of the resulting
decrease In its income from investments.
As thai source of revenue has been esti?
mated at r> per cent, a reduction In the
dividend rate to at least 8 per eggtt Is not
C' nsidered unlikely.
Mr. Flagg said that the gross earnings
of the Company ?luring July and August
were belOW normal, but that ?luring Sep?
tember and October they had exhihlted
mat rial i.nprovement.
