PLAYERS UNION
IS LAUNCHED IN
NEW YORK

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-Maior league
baseball players formally launched their
new protective organization yesterday.
1t is known as the National and Amer
lean League Baseball Fraternity. and
its certificate of incorporation was
signed by supreme Court Justice De-
laney.
According to the petition for incor-
pordtion, its object is to foster fra
ternal feeling among the players in
the two big leagues. Dave FuItz,
former baseball and football star. who
was largely Instrumental in bringing
the new movement to a head, is at
present president of the association.
While the articles of incorporation
have not been made public it is gem
orally believed the players intend, for
mutual protection, to demand repre-
sentation of their brotherhood in the
councils of organized baseball
The call for the organization re-
suited from the difficulties of Ty Cobb
which precipitated strike among the
Detroit team in Philadelphia early in
the season.
Opposition from club owners is expected
to be directed against the organization.
The magnates fear this means the
unionization of baseball and the possi-
bilty of strikes
Seventeen men, including players from
the Giants, Pirates. Phillies White Sox.
Cardinals, Maps and Trolley Dodgers,
signed the articles of Incorporation
