PLAYERS WILL NOT JOIN OUTLAWS
President Futz Does Not Believe Reports That Biz Have Signed Federal Contracts Fraternity Will Leave Matter to Discretion of Individuals

New York Dec. 4.--President David L. F'ultz of the Baseball Players fra terITity issued a statement tonight In which he decried a report that a mum Der of major league ball players, menl- bers of the fraternity. had signed con- tracts to play with various clubs in the Federal league In 1914 His statement on the subject follows:
 ''I do not believe the report that 8 number of the players in organized ball have signed with the Federal league for the reason that S5 per cent. of the players in the four larger leagues have stated to me personally that they tracts satisfactory to the fraternity were procured. As the advisory board has not yet passed upon the Federal league contract, and as no agreement has as yet been reached with organized ball, any player who signs 8 contract with either faction at the present time will be considered to have committed an act of hostility te the fraternity which may amount te cause for expul sion.
 We understand that the Federal league contract, which will be submit ted to us within the next week, will comply with all our requests; if so, the fraternity will place no obstacles in the way of the players signing when the proper time comes, if they think the move 8 wise one. A few of the players may have signed already, and a number more may have agreed to do so when the contract is approved, but there isn't the slightest doubt in the mind of any member of the advisory board that the players with few eXcep- tions will remain absolutely royal to the fraternity and will follow out the plan agreed upon several months ago"
