WAR DECLARED ON
FEDERALSbYTWO
BIG LEAGUES
Drastic Rule Adopted to Prevent
Contract Jumping
FRATERNITY WILL HELP
Players Have Joined Hands With
Maenates to Crush the Outlaw
Organization

New York. Feb. l2.-Organized
baseball today declared war on the
Federal league. Led by the national
commission and supported by the
Baseball Players Fraternity the con-
trolling officials of the organized
branch of the game decided to EN-
ploy as its most effective weapon
against the so-called outlaw organi-
cation a provision In the national
agreement against contract jumpers
and reserve claims violators.
This provision stipulates as a pen
atty for player. who violates his
contract five years suspension from
organized baseball, and for playe.
who breaks the reserve clause three
years on the suspended list
The appearance of the Baseball
Players Fraternity as a party to this
action against the new league came
as su -prise to the Federals; though
to the National and American league
officers it was said 1t was not unex-
pected.
1t was intimated by member Of
the national commission that the APP
parent change of heart by the fra
ternity was the result of the action
of the commission and OF league Of
icials in recognizing so many OF the
demands at the Cincinnati confer
ence. at which a players committee
led by David L. Fultz, president OF
the fraternity. appeared before the
commission. In othe, words, 1t is M
derstood that organized baseball and
the fraternity reached an agreement
by which the players chief demands
would be granted in return for the
fraternitys support to organized
baseball.
