PLAYERS AWAITING
FEDERAL CONTRACT

New York, Dec. 5.-President DAY i'd
L. Fultz of the Baseball Players Fra
ternity issued a statement last night
in which he dec-ied a report that a
number of major league ball players,
members of the fraternity, had signed
contracts to play with various clubs
in the Federal League in 1914. His
statement on the subject follows:
II do not believe Tie report that a
of the players in organized
ball have signed with the Federal
League for reason that S5 per cent
of the players in the four larger
leagues have stated to me personally
that they would not sign with anyone
until contracts satisfactory to the fra
ternity were procured.
LAS the advisory board has not yet
passed upon the Federal League con-
tract and as no agreement has yet
been reached with organized ball, any
player who signs a contract with
either faction at the present time will
be considered to have committed an
act of hostility TO the fraternity which
may amount to cause for expulsion.
I'VE understand that the Federal
League contract, which will be sub
nitted to us within the next week. will
with all our requests; If so,
he fraternity will place no obstacles
IN the way of players signing when the
proper time comes, if they think the
move a wise one.
"A few of the players may have
signed already, and a number more
nav have agreed to do SO when tho
contract is approved, but there isn't
he slightest doubt in the mind of any
member of the advisory board tnaz
he players with few exceptions will
'emain absolutely loycl to the fratern-
ty and will follow out the plan agreed
lpon several months ago"
