Reds and Cubs Hold
Confab With Fultz

NEW YORK, July 11.-President
David Fultz. Of the Baseball Players
Fraternity, held a confab with prac-
ticaly all the members of the Gin
cinnati Reds and the Chicago Cubs
Yesterday. 1t appears that Fultz has
been holding these conferences with
all the Western teams OF the major
leagues as they have visited this city
in turn. He has been collecting the
annual dues, in addition to laying
plans for the future.
The Reds and Cubs at yesterdays
meeting were informed that the fra
ternity would soon be asked TO take
a firm stand on the question Of re-
duCtion of salaries Of players sen;
from the major to the minor leagues.
1t was pointed out that the case Of
Borton. released by the New YORK
Americans to the Jersey City club,
was typical Of the so-called abuse
Fultz declared, It is said, that the
fraternity should demand legislation
from organized baseball that would
make 1t impossible to cut a players
salary in midseason. He argued that
If a minor league club refused to pay
a major league salary, the club re-
leasing a player to a smaller league
be forced 10 make up the difference
for the balance of the playing season.

Mandot Praises Willie Richie

n JEW ORLEANS, July 11.-Joe
N Mandot, who at one time
threatened to put New Orleans
on the lightweight championship map,
was one of the interested spectators
of the recent Ritchie-Rivers argu-
ment. Joe was one of the first to
pick Richie as winner and, having
fought both. he was well posted on
the respective ring merits of the two
scrappers. The Southern pride is
till a hit with the coast fans, as the
following clipping will indicate:
Young Mandot is a scholarly and
clean-cut young fellow. He looks
more like a bank clerk than a boxer,
and his conduct would pass muster in
The inner circles of the 400 or any
other set in high society"
Joe Praises 6itche.
Discussing Ritchie's victory, Man

about Richie is that he carries his
