President Pulliam certainly gave his OPP
poncnts In the National League some
thing TO think about when he came out
natfooted the other day with that state
ment that he was a candidate for re-elec-
tion to tho presidency on his three years
record.
Nothing can feaze Brush, or rather
Freedman. the real owner Of the New
York Club of course. But Hermann Will
not take the stand Of supporting MeGraw-
ism and Haunting it in the face OF tho
public without doing a lot Of thinking.
Murphy. Of the Chicago Club, cannot we'll
back up on Pulliam after the way the
president stood behind Chicago in its fight
against anarchy on The Polo Grounds
Droyfuss can be counted on to fight the
return of Freedman's supremacy, but the
control which Brush has over Boston
and Hermann over Philadelphia, makes
those clubs doubtful st. Louis and Brook
lyn are likely to so with the push.
still, it is not believed the National
League owners arc so shortslghted as %
confess TO their public that they do not
want clean. sportsmanlilSe baseball. such
as Purliam has tried to compel the old
league to play. There can be no surer
method Of committing suicide than 70
oust Pulliam and put in his place some
weak politician who will let the league
run itself or rather let Freedman run st
and allow rowdyism to revive.

money to-day and stop to think where
they would have been financially If the

gone for three more years countenancing

TO FIGHT UNIONS EVERYWHERE
New York Structural Steel Builders
Propose National Association.

The grievance committee of the Build
ing Trades Employers Association in New
York city heard charges yesterday against
the George A. Fuller Company to the eff
feet that it employed force of union
housesmiths at the Plaza Hotel, in viola
ton of a resolution passed by the Allied
Iron Associations. Paul StArrett, president
of the Fuller company, who Is also presi-
dent of the Building Trades Employers
Association, attended on behalf of his
firm His company has S30,000.O00 worth
of contracts in various cities. and il Is con-
tended on behalf of the Fuller company
that IL it got into any trouble with the
unions here the union men on its contracts
in other cities would strike in sympathy.
There was a sentiment among the en-
ployers it was learned. against taking any
extreme measures against the firm IL Ii
could be avoided. Action on the charges
was deferred for two weeks.
Circulars were received by the Fuller
company and other firms Of general con-
tractors yesterday from a representative
of the National Association of Erectors of
Structural Steel and Iron asking for ex-
pressions Of opinion as to the expediency
of forming a national association of gen.
eral contractors. The proposed association
was to enable general contractors to act
in concert in case of strikes in other cities
caused by unions in New York and to fight
other grievances which they could not
fight as we'll individually.

CANS YIELDS, BUT
THREATENS NOLAN

GOLDFIELD, New. August 3O.-under
the strain Of severe training Joe Cans
has become troublesome. Tuesday he oc-
cupied the greater part of the day In OBJ
iccting to match arrangements and max
ing threats Cans walled against the
clause calling for him to weigh In with
his fighting toys on. a difference or NJ

If I were a white man I'd lick YOU"
shouted Cans to Nolan after a bitter ar
gIment, in which the fight promoters
were trying to act as peacemakers.
When peace had been established Tex
Richards spoke in favor OF Cans He
saIo that the promoters felt grateful for
tho manliness Cans had shown during
the proceedings. He refused to comment
on Nolan. The latter's persistency In de :
nanding points which he believes may
favor his man has exasperated the Gold
field club leaders.
One shrewd follower of the ring said
that it was part of Nolan's game to get
Cans so angry that he would lose his
temper in the ring. The Negroes behavior
yesterday indicates the soundness of this
theory, but fight followers believe that
the crafty champion Is too wary to be
caught by any move Of strategy on the
part Of Nolan.
Referee Siler visited Cans quarters this
morning. in company with several Of the
club directors.
I'm satisfied that you will give me a
square deal, Mr.. Siler." announced Cans,
after the party had talked of fight plans.
Cans insists that ne is Nelson's master

details were considered by Cans in talk
today. and he ended with Il can't figure
