-EW YORK, Oct. 26-It having
nj been duly moved and seconded,
= the Baseball Players fraternity
IS now reality. and several questions
are before the house. One of the first,
of course, is the matter of the players
sharing in the receipts of the fifth
game Of the worlds series, when one Of
the first fOur games has been a tie.
This viii make terrible hit with the
owners.
Another matter to be taken up is the
seeking Of better relations between
owners and players. 1t was the con-
sensus of opinion that something should
be done to uplift the owner, and this
Will u attempted everywhere but in
Chicago and philadelphia. where the
odds are s 10 3 and cut asS-rst the
possibilities of an uplift. Anyway. the
ball players are willing to be more
friendly with the owners, and the lat
ter should be duly appreciative.
The Fraternity also wants the UNI
pires invested with authority to eject
rOWdy fans from ball parks, it having
been finally decided that inSsmUch as
IT may be best to admit some fans, the
lire can be drawn at the rOWdies. A
resolution was adopted urging the di-
rectOrs to use every reasonable effort
to discourage and prevent any acts by
the spectators that would interfere
with the players giving their best serY-
ices to their teams.
Every club in the National and
American leagues was represented, eN-
cept the two from Boston and the
Cleveland team, which is quite some
exception. Dave FultZ, who was elected
president said his kilograms had prob

dent, along with Ed Sweeney, Nike

was a ragged decision, won half ac-
cidentally over the CHRISTIANS ana the
other was but to 0 victory over a
team they rated as inferior. Wood

reports all last week from the Long

improving steadily. Puett, the bril-

tumble Of his that cost a touchdown

rate stars at present in Bosler, an

only did sterling work in the game
against Texas, but contributed large

out of the game by an injury sustained
in the battle with Texas, has also done
very creditable work in the early sea-
son. His unfortunate incapacity,
however, serves to put him out Of the

That Tom Lynch will be reelected
president of the National league seems
to be a foregone conclusion. The mag
mates may even make his term four or
five years this time, for it has been
demonstrated that the very short term
is imprac ticable.

hitting Murphy and FOgel to go as far
as they did during the past year, his
questioned, and his personal conduct
is a credit to the game
One or two instances might be picked
out where the head of the National
league failed to display the drastic ef-
ficienCy of a Ban Johnson, but on the
run of the season he earned himself
another term, and the National league
can not afford to abandon him now in
