There will always be players in
trouble, nearly always of their own
making, but 1 doubt if there will come
a time again when the players will
take up a case of any one member

Boston, Dec. 24.-Dave Fultz. pres
ident and legal adviser Of the Players
Protective association. like Thomas
Lynch of the National league. is han
dicapped in his work by his long alb
from the game.
Mr.. Lynch was out of the game for
ten years. busy in all that time with
his theatrical affairs. and knew moth
ing of the workings of the league.
When Mr.. Brush made him president
of the league three years ago he was
like a young man learning a new
trade and after three years appren-
ticeship, under the careful handling Of
Messrs. johnson and Hermann
Lynch n be considered a full -fledg-
ed iourneyman.
Dave Fultz graduated from the
Brown university, played ball several
years for Connie Mack's athletics and

practice of law. as he had been adj
mitted to the bar. When the players
were searching for some one t o take
the leadership they decided Fultz
would fill the bill. as it would be in
limo with his law business. They
knew he was honest and would give
them the hest he had.
Baseball Has Changed.
There was only one question. and
that was. how much baseball did Mr..
Fultz learn since he left the game"
The legislative conditions had chang
ed. and 1t naturally will take him
some time to become familiar with
up-to-date organized ball.
Fultz seems very anNinus to- get into

Let us sec how the NATIONAL league
has acted in similar cases during the
last four years. There was William
Murray. whose case with the Phila-
delphia club WAS idrntically the same
as Bresnahan'S case with ST. Louis.
This case was settled out of court to
the entire satisfaction of Mr.. Murray.
Another case settled satisfactorily was
that Of Fred Tcnny with the Boston
Nationals. Then there was the case
