Fultz Doesn't
Think There'l be
Players Strike

NEW YORK, Oct 2s.--David L. Fultz.
president of the Baseball Players fra
ternity. Is not disposed to force him
self upon the magnates of the national
commission for the sake of notoriety.
When he learned today that August
Hermann, chairman of the commits
sion, had pronounced the fraternity's
demands reasonably fair" but had
stated that the commission could not
deal with FuItz because the latter hap
pened to be an outsider" Fultz said !:
II cannot believe that Mr.. Hermann
has been quoted correctly regarding
my appearance before the commission
AS matter of fact. 1t would be par
ticularly gratifying to me If the COM
mission granted the fraternitys re-
quests without making hearing nee
essary If there is ground for per-
sonal prejudice / know nothing of IL.
The fraternitys demands have not
been filed with the commission yet. ]
am not in the least belligerent. and
have no desire to go before the COM
mission unless am compelled to take
that stand"
rs it true that eighty per cent OF
the players now members of the fra
ternity have refused to sign for next
year, Mr. Fultz was asked,
Il cannot answer that question" was
the reply
win the fraternity order a strike
If the demands are not granted, or II
the commission refuses to recognize
your"
Il don't believe in strike. Such a
move should not be allowed. The
interests are too great to permit Il re-
volt, and ] think that there VIII be no
trouble on that score"

HARVARD HAS ITS
HARDEST SCR|MMAGE

CAMBRIDGE, MASS. Ocf. 2a--No
mid-week scrimmage held in the
stadium this fall has been harder than
that which the Harvard regulars had
today against the second team. The

downs, later the substitutes going in
and scoring another.
The varsity worked on offense all
day, mainly because the second team
was unable 10 get hold OF the ball

Va. Went Stale
in Georgia Game

That the Virginia eleven did not
make a larger score against the Uni
sersity OF Georgia last Saturday was
due TO the Charlottesville team being
overturned was the opinion expressed
yesterday by c. Moran Barry. of Nor
folk. the former Georgetown star
halfbaek and captain who umpired
the game
Barry said he thought Virginia had
trained SO hard for the game with
". NJ T. previous TO the George clash
that the men had gone little stale.
Last year V. NJ. |. defeated Virginia
10 to and all early season efforts
this fall were shaped TO wiping out
the 1912 defeat. However, he ex-
poets the Orange and Blue to come
around In great shape for the meet
ing with Vanderbilt in Charlottesville
and Is inclined to think Virginia will
win from the Commadores.

COACH JONES ORGANIZES IN
TER-CLASS FTVES-GOOD MA

In an effort 10 form an inter-class
basketball league at the John Mar
shall high school for the coming win
ter, a large meeting was held in the
auditorium of the school yesterday
afternoon, and the first steps looking
to the organization were taken.
Tucker Jones, who Is director OF
athletics in the Richmond public
schools, is the moving spirit in the
project, and hopes to arouse a great
amount of interest in the games as
we'll as - develop some new material.
The high school team for the past
several years has been one of the best
in the city, and has defeated many
of the much heavier and reputed to
be stronger fives.
He plans to have the inter-class
games played on Wednesdays. There
are four classes at the high school,
and each class will have A and E
team, with substitutes. These teams
will play for the school champion
ship. and from them will be selected
a Ave to represent the school in inter-
class games. KIP

LEXINGTON. VA. Oct. 29,-Be-
lieving that a tackling dummy is bat
poor substitute for a shifty run
ner. and that practical instruction IN
tackling can only be gained by actual
practice, Coach Poague has spent the
past two DAYS in what many coaches
consider un-called for coidhlooded
work.
The coaches themselves have car
ried the ball and have required each
man in turn TO tackle hard and aC-
curately The results have been all
that could he desired from the stand
point of instruction gained. and the
number of MINOR hurts small in com
parison 10 those to which the squad
has been subjected due 10 imperfec-
ton tn the technique of tackling.
The action of the University Of
North Carolina in canceling their an
nual game with the A. and NJ. college
of North Carolina has given rise to
some interest IN the corps of cadets.
University 81 North Carolina seems
TO have had a contract with the
Aggies whereby eligibility Of players
was determined by FIVE months ma
circulation. and based their action on
the failure Of A. and NJ. 10 comply
with this clause.
No such arrangement exists between
V. NJ. l. and A and NJ. though. Of
course, before the game is played,
the players who are bona-tide stu
dents of each college will be certified
to by the faculty committee on attn
letics Of each institution. If this
regulation can he complied with by
A. and Nj, no objection can nor VIII
be raised by the cadets. V. M. ]. can

Richmond academy slipped one
over on the cadets from the Benedlc-
tine college yesterday afternoon Wheh
they annexed the championship game
with the Green and White eridironers
by the decisive score of 30 to o.
The academy boys outplayed their
opponents from the very first, ana
throughout the game clearly demon
strated their superiority. In many IN
stances their play was of the highest
order ard they rushed the heavier line
for good gains and tore off consider
able distances around the ENDS. Ihere
were very few times when Benedictine
threatened to score and on each oc-
casion either a tumble, poor headworR
or the calling OF time saved score
Benedictine played game TAR from
the standard they set in the early por-
ton of the initial championship con-
test against the high school. In that
game they played the public school
team to a standstill during the hrst
half, but their lack of condition ana
the rejuvenated determination OF the
Blue and White players proved too
much for their stamina III the last
minutes and their defense crumpied
into atoms. Yesterday the eleven
game did not make the strain on them
as In the former contest, but they
lacked dash and the spirit to fight as
we'll as several others things without
which no team can be successful IN
football.
The Cadets kicked off to Pitt, who
ran the ball back good twenty-five
yards. The line held and soon the
ball went over. Several bucks at the
and Morrison
essayed forward pass, Cheatwood
recovered and made fifteen yards. Sew
eral other plays were tried at the line
before Whitlock intercepted second
pass and sprinted fifty yards Tor a
touchdown. Pitt kicked the goal
Parsons did creditahle work for the
Cadets during the remainder Of the
half and mainly through his erorts
the Green and White eleven forced
the play well within Academy's terri
tory and for "a time seemed certain
of scoring Their delay in calling
their plays. however. proved dls-
asterous and time was called with
the ball in their possession a bare
eight yards from the goal line.
