Football Dies Hard; but
FRATERNITY IS
GREAT HELP TO
BALLPLAYERS
Fultz Issues His Annual
Report Covering Work
of Organization.
BI? INCREASE IN
THE MEMBERSHIP
Major League Magnates Are
I.iv inj? "Fairly Strictly" to
the Agreement of 1914.
I>a\nl L Palta, president of the Base
ball 1 -v, has issued the
annual report of the organiza?
tion. The fraternity has grown in
strength, and more players are allying
themselves with it every season. There
arc now more then 1.100 men in the
fold, and Mr. i'ultz said la?t night that
in all probability this number wou'd
he greatly laereaaed before another
B ha-? passed uno baseball hi -?
. The major league players have shown
und enthusiasm,
while the American Association a.id
Pacitic Cos " are well repr-r
aeated. Iri many teems in these leagues
tne full strength has joined the fra?
ternity.
In league? of !es?er classification, sal?
ary r?ductions and the other woes to
which the minor leaguer is heir have
to slacken somewhat,
but, on the wohlc, the condition is most
favorable.
The fraternity presented to the Na?
tional ? un and National I.oard
nine requests aa authorised at the last
meet:- | 'loiiy. The ?lecisions of
the commission follow: Fcir ftMUOStS
avere denied, three were granted, one
and one pertained sole?
ly to the minor leagues. The derision
of the Nat onal Hoard was a* follows:
Seven requests were denied, one was
granted ami one was partially granted.
The fraternity agreement a? entered
January ?'?. 1!'14, lias been of great
? mce to the players and has been
lived up to fairl" strictly by the niag
.n the big leagues. In the minor
leagues, however, B great laxness has
shown, which indicates either a
w.lful disregard or inexcusable ignor?
ance of its provisions. The agreement
been ??specially helpful to tha
minor league players in that it pro
ri?ei for a rive-davs' notice of release
bet?re the player can be dropped from
the salarv roll.
Ali players under "irone'ad" con?
tracts who were traded by their own?
ers and who applied to the fraternity
vice have been enabled, through
this office, to secure agreement? from
their owners guaranteeing their sala
apon transfers. This has been a
et help to a number of these
is, a? their owners were attempt?
ing to transler them, making no prom
whataoever regarding their sala?
ries under the new contracts.
? fall meeting of last year
approximately 410 player? have ap
plied to the fraternity for advice,
which on every occasion has been
promptly rendered. That some of the
players are beginning to use the fra
ternity in eaae of trouble is an evi?
of the necessity for the organi
. and of the players' appreciation
of this fact.
The decision in the case of Hageman
Bo-ton American League
which was rendered in the trial
court and appealed to the Appellate
on of. tne Supreme Court, was
-ed and decided in favor of the
irateraity. The club thereupon ap?
pealed to the Court of Appeal?, which
highest court in the ?t?te. This
appeal has not yet been heard, but
probably will be during the winter.
l'h?re seem? little likelihood of the
fraternity '."-ing and the player will
realize Quite a sum of money.
The fraternity has taken up upon
."ormal atridavits during the last year
?laims of players with the National
?lission. the National Board and
club owners as follows: With the Na?
tional Commission: Kight directly and
- on appeal from the National
Hoard's decisions. Of those taken up
?"'?ectly sea en were decided in favor
of the players and one against, (if the
'OKT appealed from the National
board's decision two were reversed
and Sjflhraeedl
With the National Board: Twenty
i!?im? have been taken up, ten of
which weie dec!?Vtd in favor of the
rs and eight against; two are ?till
nending. Appeals were taken by the
clubs fren two dec.sions of the Na?
tional Board ; f,ne was withdrawn be?
fore the commission rendered a deci
and one was affirmed in favor of
the player.
With the clubs: Six were taken up
directly, and it- every ease the frater
has ?ureeiled in recova-ring the
money.
tislslos thai I, there have been num
grtMM which the fraternity
ha? taken Bp with the dubs la behalf

more requested expeditious Bction on
the matter.
The request for ?peed is taken in
some quarters as an indication that
the relierais have not plunged on the
Lenox Avenue plot alone. It wa?
rumored originally that options had
been secured on h tract in The Bronx,
and if the one deal fails, the other
may be promulgated.
Giltnors would not deny thut Harry
G. Sinclair would be the owner of the
Ne??' Yfirk Federals. He said that just
now Mr. Sinclair does not control
them, but that nothing could prevent
him securing a controlling interest,
provided he disposed of his stock in
the Newark team. Gilmore admitted
that h?' was negotiating with J. Frank
; lin Baker, and his talk carried the in?
ference that he is in a fair way toward
securing the Trappe slugger for th?
? New York team.
Mr. Sinclair will nrrive in thi? city
from Chicago to-day, and ho may have
something definite to say about hi*
: plan? for the future.
William F. Baker, owner of the Phil?
: lie?, called at the offices of the Na?
tional League yesterday afternoon and
held a long conference with Pr?sidant
Tener. He said that be had not seen
Pat Moran since the ?eason clo?ed, and
that be di?l not expect to see him until
the National League meeting at the
Wnldorf, on December 14. Mr. Baker
Said that ho anticipated little trouble
Ifl coming to an agreement with
Moran. Just now Moran is off on a
hunting trip.
Georg? Gore, the famous cen'ref.eld
er Of the old Giants, called at the
offices yesterday, (?ore is lending the

.1. Franklin Baker was asked by a
friend if he intended to return to the

Baker. "I may."
"Oh," replied his friend, "waiting to
see which way the cart leaps, eh,
Frank?"
"Gosh, there are forty cats jumping.

The prospect? of a championsh
fight between Jess Willard and Fran

Ike Dorgan, Moran, Jack Curley an
Tom Jones met yesterday, and after th
conference it was a ?ettled thing thi
Moran and Willard would not meet fc
some time to come. Dorgan carie t
Curley'? office at the suggestion of th
Willard interests, with a view to sigr
ing Moran up for a contest with Will
ard in which the big Fittsbugh ma
was to get a flat guarantee of $11,00
for his services, no matter where
contest between the pair might be hele
A.? soon as Moran and l>organ en
tered the Willard sanctum Tom Jone
flashed the old papers in true ten
twent-thirt fashion, th? ?ame being
wire from New Orleans promoters stat
ing that they had finally decided tha
Fred Fulton was the big man that ha
been ?elected to fight Jess Willard II
March, during the Mardi (iras wee?
The wire went on to ?ay that '.he pro
moters had waited far too long fo
Frank Moran to consent to a prelim
inary bout with Fulton to see wh'
should have the honor of being pokci
on the chin by the title holder.
Up spok?- Ike Porgan, for Moran
quite pert. "You asked us to com'
here> to-day to ?ign. You said 'hat Wi
would get $11,000 for our end in i
fight of twenty round? if we wished i
or the same amount If we decided I
tight ten round? here with the ham
pion. Here's my little old fountair
pen. Where's your pap?Ts, vou, Curley
and even you, Tom Jones? Tro? ou'
the foolscap and Moran's name goe'
down in good faith, quite."
"I'll tell you, Porgan," ?aid Curley
? "What we intended was to have Morar
i sign an agreement to accept thai
1 amount for a bout with the champior
and to further agree that the bout i?
to be an open air affair here, and, per
chan:e, elsewhere. Further, WS VOIt
to have a two week-;' option on him."
"Beautifully put. Jawn, old boj," said
Ike, "but that is a little too foggy for
a pair of old-tirners libe lloran unc? ray
? ??If. We'll propos? a new atigli- right
now. We'll sign a contract to tight your
Jess Willard any place in the WOtie for
one-third of any money that Je ?s may
get. How does that sound? asked Ike,
.- - ,ng Tom and Jack the up und down,
the once over and the through and
?i,rough, to say nothing of a last with
i ing over all.
"Sounds to us ?ike nothing wn ever
expect to hear again." said Curley and
Jones in a joint chorus.
"Suppose, for sake of argument, that
the fight between the pair drew $160,.
000, and Willard's share would ?mount

to ask for a third of THAT *"'shrieked
Jay and Tee.
"By the time the pair are able to
draw $150,000," began Ike. "Moran will

what Jess may get. Vou must realize
' that we Intend to do a lot of fighting
between now and March. First of all,
i we have planned to knock Jim Coffey

' Fighting is our business, and board

"We won't d?lly with th?t old dove

"Better than anything the author of

Ike, as he chuckled back of hi? Adam's

Moran failed to accept the terms of
the New Orleans promoters for a fight
with Fulton ?s a sort of un appetizer.
I've said a dozen times in a dozen days
that we've received Be offer for a Ful

Once they did say they would give u?
uO per cent for our end for that fight."
"Thirty per cent of WHAT?" broke in
the .(net spoken Muran. "Where have
I hear.I that before? I tell you wiiat
I'll do.'' added Mnr:,n, "I've listened to
all this Fulton talk without a word of
protest. I never ducked an issue in
my lile. Now, if you fellows or those
chaps down in New Orleans think that
Fulton is so good, and S Specially good
?nough to give Willard a tight, I'll make
this proposition. I'll tight him at Kadi

him in ten rounds I will give my end to
tne Associated Charities, tin- Christmas

if he cares to collect it under the cir?

offered a fight with nv in the ?iarden
and i.e turned it DOWN. Said he was
too busy filling his present dates. Does
that sound like I ?vas ducking him?"
"That's last where we Stead," said
Ike and ? rancis ?liarles in unison.
"Willard doesn't want to fight? Ful?
ton is a mark of the softest sort. You
fellows know that. If you don't con?

"Oh, say not so, say not su," brok? i

day, through the chairman of its com?
mittee, Anson F. Robinson, that the
club would once more enter the tour?
nament field in 1916. In fact, it would
not be surprising if Ardsley sought
the privilege or holding one of the
championship tournaments of the Met
lopolitan Golf Association.
Particular attention lias been paid to
the task of conditioning the links this
season, through the supervision of the
professional. Valentine Flood, and the
results are declared to have been
highly satisfactory. A few changes
have been made in the trapping. Inci?
dentally, the club has increased its
membership by 6f> in the last year,
making a total of 570.
Forty-two competitions were held at
Ardsley during the season just closing,
mid the average entries for each event
has been forty. Never before in the
history of the club have so many tie?
reiulted. Two weeks before the sea?
son closed no less than ?even members
were on even terms for three separate
cups, the ultimate result being that ;
'he prizes wer,, divided among three
of these seven men. More than ISO
names were on the handicap list, and
a? it happened no man won more than
two prizes during the season.
By way of a change, handicap match
play was introduced on several oc-1
casions, for the club has been fond
of the medal play arrangement. It is
planned next year to b?gin each month |
with an lS-hole oualifying round at |
medal play, the eight lowest men meet
iaa at match play during the month.
Roswell F. Mundy won the club
championship, but it turned out to bt? j
a narrow srueak for him. He defeated
Merrill K. Waters by only 1 up in the '
decisive test. In speaking of the i
course, Robinson declared that the con- '
dition had never been better, and that
i' was the consensus of opinion on
Thanksgiving Day that the putting
greens were as fair and true as on
any day in June, while the fair green
afforded great possibilities for the use
of the brassie. I

East Aurora Comes Forth
to Meet Hamilton for
Scholastic Title.
TEAMS CLASH AT
WASHINGTON PARK
-
Visitors Expected to Win, but
Local Players Are Certain
to Play Gamely.
The curtain will be raised again on
football this afternoon, when Captain
AI Formosa will lead hi? Hamilton
Institute eleven into action against
C?ptala Albert Pike's East Aurora High
School team, from East Aurora, 111., on
the gridiron at Washington Park,
Brooklyn. This will mark the ending
of the sport in this section of the
country, at least, for the year, and the
Eastern scholastic world awaits the re?
sult with interest. If Harrilton can
win from the Illinois team, it will break
a long string of defeats which New
York teams have ?uttered at the hands
of Western visitors.
If there i< any team in this city
qualified to repel the invaders, it is
Hamilton Institute. The Red and Blue
has swept all comers to one side, with
the exception of Cullum Hall and Pawl?
ing School. It closed its regular sea?
son with a sweeping victory over the
Columbia freshmen. The score in that
game was 61 to 0. The team is well
grounded in fundamental football, the
.lire and experience of the player? con?
sidered, and plays a snappy, aggressive
game.
Snap and aggressiveness will be the
order of the day. East Aurora has
been unbeaten in two years in the Mid?
dle West. This season it scored 40??
points to il for it? opponent? in nine
games played. The figures bear elo?
quent evidence to the force of its at?
tack. How stable it? defence is may
be judged from the fact that only one
touchdown has been made against it
this season. The Joliet High School
team scored this, one of its men snap?
ping up a fumbled punt and racing
Home twenty yards or more across the
goal line.
There is a feeling that the visitor?
will win, due to a belief in the West?
erners superi rity and to the fact that
, it is traditional for the Western high
i schools to beat the local teams. The
? experiences of Boys' High and Poly
Prep, against the Onk Park High
School, of ( hicago, are still fresh in
the minds of the Eastern enthusiasts.
The teams are pretty well matched
physically. East Aurora averages \>?>
pounds to the man, while Hamilton is
five pounds lighter. The line of the
Westerners is by far more powerful,
or, in any event, heavier. The East
Aurora forward? average 174 pounds,
and have an advantage of twelve
pounds to the man over the Hamilton
boys.
Throughout the season the visitors
played a line smashing gam??, depend?
ing on sharp thrust? off tackle, with
Captain Pik? carrying the ball, and
short end runs, with the light but fast
O'Grady and Slater doing the work.
With forwards of such remarkable
physique to open the holes, it was a
matter of mere detail for the backs to
; plunge. The open game, however, ha?
' not been ne-.rlected, and the teachings
[of Hurry Up Yost, Alonzo Stagg and
the other conches of the West will be
reflected 'his afternoon.
Hamilton boasts an attack which is
as forceful as it i? well conceived and
as versatile as it is baffling. In Cro
vat, the quarterback. Hamilton has a
real star. Ha is a wizard in an open
field and runs like the wind. R?ssel
( lapp, the halfback, is one of the
greatest backs ever developed in this
city. He is a wonder at bucking the
line, and if there is any opening pro?
vided for him Clapp may be depended
on. Ted Cann, at left end, is another
power in the Blue line, as is Jimmy
Parkes.
Hanny, the young giant who guards
the right flank of East Aurora's flank,
avili do the punting for his team
against Ted Cann. Hanny COBBOg here
heralded as another Jim Thorpe in
ruting ability. He will have to be at
his best, for Cann ha? done some won?
derful kicking this season, and places
his ounts along the outside lines with
wonderful skill. There will be little
running back done on his kicks, and
those .which are caught will be well
revered by Mornn and Captain For?
mosa, who takes Cann's place at end
on kick formation.
General interest has been aroused in
the game. Tickets have been placed
on ?ale in r.ll the local high and prep,
schools, and they have been snapped
up. It is not an assured face that the
non-combatants will preserve strict
neutrality. From every indication all
hand? will be joined against the in
redera, who. be it said, are not worry
I little hit.
Washington Park is located at Fourth
Avenue and Third Street, Brooklyn. It
may be reached by the Fifth Avenue
"L" train?, which stop at Third Street,
and the. new Fourth Avenue subway,
which stop? at Union Street, a few
block? below the grounds. The Fifth
Avenue and Third Avenue trolley cars
pegs within a block of the entrances,
and the Bergen Street cars also run a
short distance from the main gate.
