Bv W. !. McBeth.

NEW YORK. Aug. 9.-Profes-
y sional baseball players of the
major leagues have organized
a mutual protective association.
Dave F>ultz, former star outfe1d-
er Of the New York American
league club and now a lawyer, is
president of the new organization.
1t Is the first time, since the Broth
erhood days. that the playing fra
ternity has been united in common
principle, and, while as yet mem
bership is confined to athletes of
the National and American leagues,
it is purposed ultimately to take
into the fold every active member
Of the many minor leagues working
under the present system of organ
lied baseball.
The Mutual Protective AssoCia-
ton of Baseball Players was per-
fected last Sunday at the office OF
Mr.. Fultz. The preliminary meet
ing had been held two weeks ear
lier. At that time the American
league players pledged themselves
to the new cause. 1t but remained
for the National league players last
Sunday to fall into line to assure
the success of the venture.
Every National league club was
represented either in person or by
one or more of its players or by
proxy There had been a full rep
resentation of American league per
formers two weeks earlier. BY mu-
tUal consent of the players Of both
major leagues, Mr. Fultz was elect
ed president. AS such he was EN-
powered to draw up articles of
constitution which will be ratified
within the next couple Of weeks
and, when approved made public.
No Idea of Unionsm.
According to Mr.. Fultz, president
of the new Organizatio there is
no idea Of unionism behind the
project. interviewed last night,
Mr. Fultz appeared somewhat reti-
cent in discussing the plans of the
players. He finally consented to
outline very briefly the purposes Of
the newly formed association.
The ball players are not antago-
nistiC toward the present form of
baseball government" said Presi-
dent F>ultz. There is no menace
intended toward the National Com
mission. But it is felt that great
good will come of the players hav-
ing proper representation in the
court that governs them. Players
have no voice in National Commits
sion matters. nor have they hope of
being represented in the supreme
court of baseball. While the integ-
rity Of the National Commission is
above reproaCh, it is felt generally
among the playing fraternity that
the ordinary laymen do not meet
with the consideration of the great
star.
The small fry is timorous about
asserting its rights: it feels appre-
hensive of the power of the mag

NJ WHORTER IS
HITTING. 74O|N
A CITY LEAGUE

a THENS, GA, Aug. 9.-What
n local baseball fans believe to
be a record in amateur base
ball has been hung up by Bob Nc
Whorter, the sensational football
and baseball star of the University
of Georgia. who has been playing
with the Y. NJ. c. A. team of the
City league.
In the games played to date, Nc
Whorter has batted for an average
Of .74O. and in this repertoire is in
cluded four circuit smashes. three
triples and five two baggers. At
the fielding and base running game,
Bob has also shown to great ad-
vantage, having covered the center
garden in lfaultless fashion and has
stolen twelve bases in the last eight
games.
BY these figures don't judge the
City league to be a boob Organiza-
ton. for. on the contrary, it is one
of the fastest little leagues in the
country, it's teams being made up
of eX-College stars. among whom
are Morton Hodgson, Julien and
win Erwin. Wed Brown, Johnny
NOuhcutt. Frank Anderson. Kid
Braunen and other well known ath-
letes of the University Of Georgia.
McWhOrter. it is said, has re-
ceived overtures from two n three
big league clubs, but there is no
chance for the rbig boy" to break
into professional ranks before he
completes his course at the uni
verSlty, which will be two years
hence

outlined in his interview it will be
his duty to see that great and small

Until the new organization is
ready to make known its plans and
purposes in full some apprehension
may be felt among the powers.
But if the scheme is as simple as
intimated there appears no reason
for worry over the future of the
national sport.

association, which was outlined at a
recent meeting in New York of tmaior
