DOES PLAYERS' WAR THREATEN BASEBALL?
ARROGANT COMMISSION'S REFUSAL TO RECOGNIZE PLAYERS' FRA TERNITY MAY LEAD TO BASEBALL
STRIKE THAT WILL TIE UP NATIONAL GAME.
(By George R. Fulford.)
Men who read as limy run progess to
see ominous handwriting upon the.
wall of baseball, to the effect that un- i
less the conditions under which ball
players now labor go through a few
rapid changes, something resembling '.
a strike will threaten the game with- :
in two years.
The national commission, baseball's
supreme court (originated by and for
the club owners of the major leagues.)
threw down the g;dmtlet to the play:
ers, when Carry Herrmann, chairman
announced that the commission would :
not receive President Dave Fultz of j
the Baseball Players' Fraternity, to;
present the petition of the players, j
The commission lias ridden rough j
snou over tne players so long it sees
no reason why it should not remain as
"baseball's great gassoosalum.
"We won't receive Fultz because he
is not a ball player. He is a lawyer,"
is the meat of Herrmann's statement.
Perhaps the weighty trio of the na- J
tional commission dou't care to tackle
the lean jawed lawyer, preferring to
take a chance with a player's commit-1
tee, composed of, say, Fred Merkle, (
"Ping" Bodie and Dave Altizer. ;
Fultz. by the way, was a ball player j
in the majors before he hung out his j
shingle. I
The national commission is Ban
Jofyison, Tom Lynch and Herrmann.
The-nrst two are members by right of
their oflice as presidents of the Amer
ican and National leagues respective
ly. If Herrmann is elected chairman by
them. He is the only club owner the
other two "being salaried employes.
It would be just as logical for the
players to protest against Johnson
and Lynch hearing their grievance on
the ground that they are not club
owners, as it Is for the commission
to object to Fultz because he is not
a player.
The players' fraternity, which Is
the labor union of baseball, has de
manded several reforms, chief of which
are:
That a player getting 10 days' no
tice of release, shall be free to sign
wherever he can.

HANS SCHMIDT
IS PLACED ON
TRIAL IN NEW YORK
Chicago, 111., Dec. 8 A, Montgomery
Ward, who rose from a day laborer to
the presidency of a mail order house
which bears his name, died today at
his residence at Highland Park. The
multi millionaire was 70 years old.
Death resulted from a complication of
diseases, which developed after two
fails. About two years ago Mr. Ward
slipped on the running board of an
automobile at Pasadena, California,
andbroke one arm and a shoulder
blade. These injuries forced him to
forego all outdoor amusements and
confined him largely to his home. Six
weeks ago, Mr. Ward fell in his home
and fractured his right hip. The kid
neys were inured and pneumonia set j
in. .
New
teams which started at midnight in
the twenty-first annual six day bicycle
race at Madison Square Garden were
still intact at the end of the end of
the eight hour and up to last year's
record, notwithstanding an accident
during the fifth hour. Three men,
Walthour of Georgia, Applehouse of
Germany, and Carman of New York,
had a bad spill on the Madison avenue
turn.
The scoreboard showed that 18!)
miles, three laps, had been covered,
equalling the record made by Wal
thour and Cameron last year. The
teams were bunched with Cory lead

for the murder of Anna Aumiller, a
crime which he confessed after por

washed ashore last September hy the

Schmidt is shamming insanity and
that his plea to be permitted to ex

is insincere.
