As the echo of the recent whirlwind campaign, during which about $75,OOO was raised, the local Young Women's Christian association, through it's building committee, has accepted pre- ljminary plans of Architects Davis and Brooks of Hartford, for two buildings, one boarding home and the other combination gymnasium and as- sembly hall, to be erected on valuable
 property just below the present ad-
 ministration building on Hungerford
 court. This will insure the local as-
 sociation having two of the finest Y.
 w. c. A. buildings in New England.
 The architects are now engaged in
 preparing working plans. They will
 probably be completed by July. Bids
 will be called for shortly; later the
 contract awarded and ground broken
 fer the buildings, which the associa-
 tion is much in need of at present.
 Barring unforeseen delays, it is possible
 that the additions will be ready for occupancy late in November-eleven m onths after the campaign. The cost will be in the neighborhood of 6O,000. F. , sg The buildings will be located on the land purchased from James S. North, early this year, for the sum of $10, 900. The new site has a frontage of 128 feet on Hungerford court, a depth of about. 113 feet and includes a wing which measures 121 feet in length and 1 f1fty-six feet in width, thereby pro- viding for a tennis court.
 Facing the street, at distance of about fifty feet from the old building, will be the dormitory, as it is com monly termed. This structure will 1 measure 100 feet on the street side and forty-five feet in depth. It will 1 be four stories high, and built of 1 brick with concrete stone trimmings and gravel roof The gymnasium will be erected directly in the rear, separated from the dormitory by court

League, for insubordination and declin-

team to play the Tri-State game
scheduled there yesterday afternoon.
In a statement last night President
Graham said:
"There was no possible excuse for
this breach of baseball law. The money

american LEAGUE
UP AGAINST FULTZ
Club Owners Meet Today
to Offset Baseball
Strike Order
WILL CLOSE GATES
IF GAME is HALTED
By HAL SHERIDAN.

NEW YORK, July 2l.-With organiz-
ed baseball facing what is declared to
be the gravest crisis in its history, great
Importance was attached to the meeting
of the American League clubowners here
today. The meeting was hurriedly call
ed by President Ban B. johnson when the
Players' Fraternity served notice ON the
National Commission that a general
strike of players in the National and
American Leagues would be called to-
morrow unless its ruling in the case OF
Player Kraft was reversed.
Johnson has declared that the Ameri-
can League clubowners will fight the
players to the finish and today's meet
ing is believed to be for the purpose Of
formulating plans for warfare in case
the players do walk out. just what
methods win be followed is unknown.
The American League head asserts that
the clubowners in his circuit stand ready
TO close their parks until the dispute is
settled. He declares that salaries will
be stopped the minute that the strike
goes into effect and that every player
who takes part in the movement will be
heavily fined.
While saying he hopes the matter still
can be settled amicably, President Fultz
of the Players Fraternity, today de-
clared the ultimatum stands-that the
players will 90 on a strike unless the
National Commission sees fit to reopen
the Kraft case. He insisted that the de-
cision to take such drastic action was
not occasioned altogether by the Kraft
case, that the National Commission has
repeatedly violated its rules in discrimi'
mating against players The Kraft case
he said was such a glaring discrimina-
tion that the players had decided to
make a fight on it, and abide by the re-
suit
Fultz claimed the members of th'
Fraternity throughout both malol
leagues are unanimous in endorsing the
action of the leaders in deciding tC
strike. He asserted that the wallSou'
will be complete and that it will be i'm
possible for the clubowners to gel
enough players to continue games.
Members of the Fraternity who are II
New York were silent about the strike
Ed Sweeney of the New York Ameri
cans. who is a vice-president of the or
der, refused TO discuss the situation a.
all. though he admitted "A strike ha'
been called. Few members of the st
Louis Americans are members OF tn
Fraternity, but some of them vouchsate,
the opinion that if strike was called
most of them would go out any way.

Hermann WOULD
ARBITRATE THE
Baseball FUSS
By The United Press.

CINCINNATI, O., July 21.-August
Hermann, chairman of the National
Commission was working today for
arbitration of the dispute between the
Ball Players Fraternity and the Com
mission, which may result in strike
of all National and American League
players tomorrow.
Hermann began by attempting 70
get into communication with Ban
Johnson, of the American League, and
Governor Tener, of the National
League and other members of the
commission. "I do not claim the COM
mission is right, nor the fraternity
wrong, in the Kraft matter" said
Hermann. at looks as though both
sides have an argument, and there is
a way to settle the whole matter. but
the best way is not to strike. If Kraft
has a just claim, it can be easily ad-
justed.
It does not look right for about four
hundred major league players, club
owners and patrons to be affected on
account of a case as insignificant as
this, and hope the matter may be ad-
| iusted without a strike"
Hermann stated that three men,
bers of the board of directors of the
Players Fraternity had agreed to al
low the Kraft case to go over until
fall for settlement, but President
Fultz. who yesterday called the strike
had failed to accept this agreement
The three we're Ed. Reulbach, John
Henry and Jack Miller, Hermann
said. He denied the reported state
ment of Fultz that arbitration had
previously been suggested by the Fra
ternity.

NEW YORK, July 21.-With Connie
Mack busily buzzing around, suppos-
edly as a go-between for the Ameri-
can League magnates, and players,
the club owners went into session
with President Ban Johnson here to-
day to discuss the threatened strike
of the members Of the Baseball Play
ers Fraternity.
It was understood that the purpose
of the meeting was to give President
Johnson authority to wage bitter
warfare upon the players and close
all American League parks If the men
live up to the ultimatum from Presi-
dent Fultz and strike unless the rul-
ing in the case Of Player Kraft is

ATHLETICs WON'T STRIKE.

The Athletics refused to take the !
proposed baseball strike seriously |
and would not discuss 1t at length.
I'VE have not held a meeting or
talked about the so-called baseball
war; therefore there Is nothing to
be said from the viewpoint of the
Athletics"
That was the statement made by
Captain Ira Thomas last night.
Thomas last year was the Athletics
representative in the Baseball Play
ers' Fraternity, but 1t was said that
he did not attend the meetings regu-
larly and this year had no official
connection with the organization.
The players jolxed about the strike
last night and looked upon it from
the viewpoint of outsiders. Some of
them are enrolled as members, but
for some reason or other have not
been actively identified with the
movement. Others are not on the
membership list.
you can bet one thing" said the
Athletics in unison last night, that
is. there will be a game at Shibe
Park on Wednesday between Cleve-
land and the Athletics. The Maps
hold about the same position in the
fraternity that we do-that is, no
position at all"
From the gossip of the Worlds
! Champions, it was evident that they
did not know much about the reasons
! fol the baseball strike and therefore
had not given it much consideration.
They intimated that later their views
might be changed. At least, they
did not want to be considered as TAX
ing the position of "scabs" in case
the strike is called That they would
not side with the magnates as against
the entire body of players was made
plain by them.
If the Athletics do join in the
strike, it will be because they do not
want to be considered outsiders, OF
ia sympathy with the magnates as
against the players. And they VIII
have to be Shown" before they give
ND their bread and butter" as one
player expressed II.
John Collins, the Chicago repre-
sentative on the Fraternity board, be-
fore the team left for Washington
said he had heard nothing about the
strike oficially. The other players
would not say anything, insisting that
Collins was their spokesman.
