Big League Play
ers to Organize.

New York. Aug. 5.-David Fultz. a To-
outfielder from Brown University and
major leagues, admitted. tonight. that
the rumors of activities toward forming
a union of big league baseball players
were true. Fultz. who is leading in the
organization. admitted that members of
the National League clubs met in his
Offices, last Sunday, and that American
League players met secretly in New
York. two weeks earlier. All l6 clubs of
the two major leagues We're represented
either by person or by proxy, he de-
clared.
There is nothing of a trade Union ma
ture about this said Fultz. 1.-THE play
ers are simply binding themselves to an
organization to which they can look as
sort of protective association in case
they have grievances with the men who
conduct the big league affairs. Under.
no circumstances will the organization
be affiliated with the Federation of La
bor'
Fultz said that there were certain mat
ters concerning contracts and other
phases of a ball players life which the
players believe they can change for the
better by binding themselves together
and when complaints came up a protec-
tive association could arbitrate the dis
pute with the National Commission.
