Cincinnati, Sept. 23-President Herr
man of the National Baseball COM
mission stated Friday that he has in
his possession copies of contracts Of
fered by the new baseball league in
process of formation, signed by six
players of National and American
league teams. This developed during
a conversation in regard to promoter
ID. A. Fletchers plan to play SER
les of games with two all-star ma
jor league clubs this fall I'm defiance
of an order issued by the National
commission prohibiting such series.
The contracts in question call for
a bonus of $4,000 to be presented to
the players in the form of certified
check in February and to be cashed
when the league becomes an actual
ity. At the end of three or FIVE years
the players under contract become
free agents.
1t is believed that the players who
have already signed up are to be
managers Of teams in the new league
and that the bonus to be offered other
players will be smaller.
The possibility of a new league
breaking into the field is not the only
thing worrying the major league NOR
tails The activity being displayed by
Promoter Fletcher, of the all-star SER
les, Is causing them no little annoy
ance. Fletcher Thursday night ex-
hibited letters and telegramh from
q majority of the players who were
signed to make the trip as original
ly planned. The following men have
declared by letter or telegram within
the past few days that they will re-
port to Fletcher after the worlds 8
series and make the trip.
Pitcher Mullin, Catcher Stanage,
Shortstop Bush and Outfelders Cobb
and Crawford, or the Detroit club;
Outfielder Tommy Leach and Catcher
Gibson of the Pittsburg club; Manager
McGraw of the New York Giants;
Pitcher Walter Johnson and Outfelder
Milan, of the Washington Americans;
Outfielder Magee, of the Philadelphia
Nationals; Artie Hoffman and Johnny
Evers of the Chicago Cubs; Catcher
Carrigan and Outhelder Speaker, OF
the Boston Americans, and Second
Baseman Eddie Collins and Pitcher
Bender of the Philadelphia Athletics
A number of the players mentioned
have also sent in their measurements
for uniforms.
Fletcher declares that late Thurs
day evening he received n telegram
signed by FIVE members of the Chicago
club which reads as follows:
1--WE will be with you as per argee'
ment. (Signed) Hoffman, Brown

MOST DARING
ACHIEVEMENT
In History of Aviation Was
Flight of The Alps.
BY United Press Wire.

The flight over the Alps by Chavez
and Pailetti is considered the most
daring achievement in the history Of
aviation, From the time they ascend
ed from "a plateau overlooking the
Rhone valley, until Domodossola was
reached, there Is scarcely a suitable
place for landing and had anything
gone wrong with their machines,
death would probably have been the
price they would have paid for their
recklcssness.
Most Of the distance was over
george and rough mountains, which
precludnd the possibility of landing
safely when once over the Alps. The

BASEBALL PLAYERS IN UNION
Men Are Dissatisfied With Existing
Conditions and VIII Form An
other Brotherhood.

A movement Is on foot to organize
a baseball players union, which will
apply for membership in the American
Federation of Labor, according to
President Navin of the Detroit club
and David L. Fultz Of New York, a
graduate Of Brown university, Is slated
for the presidency Of the brotherhood,
says a Providence (A. ~ dispatch to
the Buffalo Express. Mr.. Fultz was
formerly baseball and football play.

Der of the philadelphia Athletics and

from the diamond several years ago
take I'D the practise of law in New
York city.
Mr.. Navin says the Detroit players
have admitted taking part in the move
ment, which will become widespread
before another season.
II chosen president, Mr.. Fultz will
have power to deal with the national
baseball commission in the attempt to
secure numerous concessions for the
playing element. -
It is understood that the proposed
brotherhood will work for the adoption
of a new contract which will limit
the time magnates can control their
players to six months, from April Is
to october is. and will permit players
to engage in other pastimes the rest
of the year. The most important de-
mand, however. will be the right of
players to be free agents as soon as
their contracts expire. According to
the insiders, the leaders Of this new
players organization are anxious to
have the reserve rule, the bulwark Of
professional haseball, eliminated, so
that players can demand and accept
terms from any club owning a fran
chise In any major or minor league.
II this demand Is backed up by the
proposed brotherhood, 1t is safe to say
there will be a revolt all along the
line, for it is conceded that the organ
lied leagues will never agree to such
, proposition.
