AMERICAN IN
TNO-PLYPLAYS

TlNS are not IA the habit of ruin
ing their eyesight in studying
the fielding records OF the
major league players, and there are
few members Of the Baseball Writer'S
Association OF America who build up
feature stories regarding the defen-
sive work of the pastimers. Eddie
Collins, guardian for the White Ele-
plants of the middle cushion, Is ac-
knoWledged by all experts to be the
keystone king" of the American
League, but when any authority sets
out to prove that the Columbia
graduate is the peer of his con-
temporaries he never PUSHES to the
guide books for statistical informa-
ton on the subject
A good way to find out how swift
a fielder is, some persons think. is
to take the number Of double plays
a man starts. Up to July l the Ameri-
can Leaguers had rid their systems
of 8S0 dual killings. the man who
started most Of them being Collins.
He took the initiative in sixteen of
his teams two-ply massacres.
The JOhnsonites' swiftest shoTtstop
according to the performances in the
Double Play League, is Ray Chap
man. Of the Maps. He inaugurated
dozen plays that resulted in the
retirement of a pair Of runners In
figuring Chapman's speed as an in
augurator Of double plays, II should
be remembered that he has been often
absent from the Maps lineup be
cause of injuries, and IT is possible
that had he played all season long
as has Collins, he would have started
just as many two-ply killings

Confab With Fultz

NEW YORK, July 11.-President
David Fultz, Of the Baseball Players
Fraternity, held a confab with prac-
tically 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 sent
from the major to the minor leagues.
II 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 ii impossible TO cut a players
salary in midseasOn. He argued that
If a minor league club refused to pay
major league salary, the club re-
leasing a player to a smaller league
be forced to make up the difference
for the balance of the playing season.

Frederick, Nd, June e.-"This is
the first bond I have ever signed. and
1t will be the last one. you gentlemen
can depend upon that" said Bishop
John Gardner Murray, of the Pro-
testant Episcopal Church, diocese OF
Maryland, who was today witness In
the Frederick County Circuit Court.
Bishop Murray was summoned here to
testify In the case of the State against
Edward NJ Rowe, of Emmitsburg,
who Is charged with embezzling trust
funds.
Mr.. Rowe was appointed co-exeeu-
tor of the estate of the late Reuben
Morrison, of Emmitsburg. with Mrs.
Martha Nope. When the time came
for a settlement of the estate Mr..
Rowe did not have the money TO meet
the claims and the matter was
brought to the attention Of his bonds
man. Bishop Murray. who has a sum-
mer home at Emmitsburg. When he
went upon the stand Bishop Murray
said his letters pertaining to the
transaction would be his best evil
denee, and for nearly IN hour read
letters.
lie wrote Mr. Rowe telling him that
he would lend him the money to pay
the claim, taking from him n simple
promissory note to be paid out Of bis
life insurance. and in lieu of interest
asked him to deed to him a tract of
mountain land. This arrangement
was made. a number Of subsequent
letters showed. and Bishop Murray
finally took 4 note for z1.370.7s from
Mr. Rowe.
The court ruled that a question as
to whether this note had ever been
paid was inadmissible. Bishop Muir
ray said he had never asked Mr..
Rove any questions concerning tho
affair. and said:
