Famous Shortstop Thinks New

lleve the mortalities will be confined
10 the minors, but he has a firm and
decided opinion the Federals will put
the minors very much on the blink.
we deal with the ball player and
not with the magnate. says the boss
Of the new Chicago ball club, and
thereby we hand out the death blow
to the minors.
Instead of paying some minor
league magnate s22,500 for a player
AS did the Pirates for Marty O'Toolc,
We deal directly with the ball player
Whats the answer? A satisfied

lovely with us"
VIEW 1t from another angle-tbe
Fed erals have guaranteed
through each club fund for the
purchase of big league stars. Each
club has pledged a fund of $4,000 fer
the obtaining of at least five major
league ball players
Now. the r'ederals could not, in this
dav of he high cost of living, buy one
star of even second magnitude for
$4,000 IL they dealt direct with tie
magnates. but they go straight to the
ball player and make him an offer OF
IS 900 for the season. That means
five major leaguers for $4,000, and
they get a years work out of them
for that sum.
Do YOU get the angle?
IL was but few years ago that
pittsburg paid ST. Paul s22,50O for
Marty O'Toole. Who profited? Marty
0'Toole? Possibly he received lit
lie increase In salary, but about the
best he got was a 10-cen. cigar and
his meals at big otel.

Holland Receives
His 1914 Contract
From Clark Griffith

Harry Holland, who cavorted
around third base for the Crackers
during the tail end of the 1918 season,
has Just received his 1914 contract
from Clark Griffith. manager of the
Senators.
Harry is satisfied with the terms
offered him and says he hopes to
prove a valuable aid to Griffith next
season. Although Holland faces stiff
competition In Eddie Foster, the SEN

not be surprising to see Griffith shift
Foster to second when the next cam

FRATERNITY NOT
To GUST BROWN
AND JOE TINKER
Players Broke No Law by Jumping
to New League, Declares
David FuItz.
By Tad
By Frank G. Menke

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-"The
IN baseball players fraternity
will take no part in the pres
ent conflict between the Federal
League and organized baseball"
The announcement was made to-
day by David l.. Fultz, president of
the fraternity
1t Is the feeling of those who are
connected with the fraternity" said
fultz, that a baseball war Is a mat
ter between leagues and club owners,
and one in which a ball players or
ganization should not take part and
has no right to take part
AN interview came to my atten-
ton to-day quoting James L. Gaffney,
president of the Boston National
League club, as saying that he felt
that /, as president Of the fraternity,
should take some action intended to
prevent players from jumping. I dis
agree with Mr. Gaffney beca use feel
that such action Is not within my
power.
I" HE fraternity, however will
not countenance the jumping of
any player to the Federal League
who at present is under contract with
either an American or National
League club. or any other organized
club. Long before the Federal League
doomed on the baseball horizon
rule was made by our fraternity
which automatically exp lied any
that contract
But the fraternity dtsregards the
reserve clause and will take no action
against player who signs with an
organization outside of organized
baseball, who Is bound to organized
baseoaIl only by the reserve clause
Miner Brown and Joe Tinker were
held to the Cincinnati club only
through the reserve clause and their
action in going over to the Federals
will not mean their expulsion from
our fraternity.
60" mixer and Brown, IN our
minds. broke no law when they
went to the Federals. They con-
tracted to play ball with the Cincin-
natl club for only one year They
tulfilled that contract and when the
playing season ended In 1913 they le-
galiy were free to contract with any
one who offered them the best in
ducements."
Fultz said that the National Com
mission had not requested him to use
MS influence with the players to
prevent their jumping In return for
the commissions action in granting
the major portion Of the players de-
mands.
Il don't know whether they ex-
pected me to do that said Fultz, "but
you may assure yourself hat !
would not have done so had they
asked it. I do not care to become
mixed up in the baseball warfare, nor
Will | permit the fraternity, as an or
ganization, to take any part in it.
That is final"
=" the fraternity planning any new
moves intended to better the con-
ditions of the players?" Fultz was
asked.
Not at present" was the answer
They are well satisfied with what has
been accomplished. Practically all
the reforms they wanted were grant
ed by the commission. OF course,
conditions may arise in the future
that may seem to be a detriment TO
the players interests. In case they
do-the fraternity will take the mat
ter up with the commission in the
same way as in the past"

WILL RETIRE
HEAD OF STATE DEMOCRATIC

SWAY FOR PERIOD OF YEARS

McArthur's day Of supremacy in the

now said to be almost completely at
an end and it has been announced from
Grand Forks. the home of one of his
chief lieutenants, John Vallaly, that
| the state chairman will voluntarily re-
tire from his leadership owing to the
fact that as a federal officer holder he
can no longer devote his time to the
party organization.
Smiles nave been seen on the faces
of some who wondered why the state
chairman was not willing to step down
when he was first appointed to his
federal position. Had the independent
forces failed to nominate Frank o.
Hellstrom for governor, it is whisper
ed in some corners, Mr.. Macarthur
would still have been or the job as
the dominating figure of his machine
which is now slowly sinking as does
the setting sun.
For more than two years at least
Macarthur has been the bone of con-
tention in the North Dakota demo-
cracy. He has been the controlling
factor, has recommended a good many
men for federal offices through Ma
tional Committeeman Bruegger who
was his choice for that job, fought for
their appointments at Washington,
secured their confirmation and built
up a strong machine generally.
The first severe dent in the NC
Arthur machine was the appointment
and confirmation Of S. j. Doyle OF
Carrington as United States marshal
which was secured after one of the
hardest political fights ever known in
either of the dominant parties SEE In
North Dakota. But Mr.. Doyle was
triumphant, and made it single-handed
which reflects much credit on him.
The next telling inroad made int
the Macarthur ranks vas the appoint
ment and confirmation of George S. Duls
as postmaster at Grand Forks who de-
feated Mr.. McArthur's chief lieuten'
ant, John Vallaly. The. final finish

PROF. WILSON SPEAKS
OF MINNESOTA BIRDS

That there are nearly 400 varieties
of birds in the state of Minnesota was
the interesting statement made by
Prof. Carl B. Wilson of the normal
school faculty, who addressed the stu
dents of tina institution this morning.
Professor Wilson's lecture was illus
trated and described especially the
birds of Minnesota. Professor Wilson
also told of the economic value Of
birds, something which is toe often
overlooked. The farmer especially
owes more to the bird than he can
ever repay, even the hated chicken
hawk is of economic value to him.
The song birds have their value, too,
Professor Wilson declared. aside from
their economic value. If all birds were
to De killed, mankind could not live on
the earth for more than a year.
The purpose of the Audubon society
was emphasized by Professor Wilson.
This organization was formed in 1886
and as a result Of its work the value
Of birds are better known to the pub
lie in general and many laws have
been passed for the protection Of bird

who it will be has not been limited. It
is whispered the independent leaders
are breathing relief now that they de-
feated the Macarthur machine, because
they feel the party in the state has
been filtered and purified again for
use.
State Chairman McArthur's last
days in the role of head Of the state
party could not have been the pleas

and charges afloat Of bossism and
nepotism. Preferment Of family was
heard as the cry on several sides, for
his son-in-law, Joseph A. Kemp,
was appointed receiver Of the
GAINESVILLE National bank, and his
brother-in-law, Mr. Stewart of Bot
tlneau, is said to be the favored can
didate for the Bottineau postoffice.
Mr.. Macarthur was in Bottineau to-
day so that he could o be seer to
either confirm or deny the Grand

not be again a candidate for re-elec-

COUNCIL CLOSES
STREET FOR BUILDING

At the regular meeting of the city
ounCil which was held last evening
consent was practically given to the
closing of Twelfth street between Sixth
and Seventh venue SO that the new
$780, 900 building which is to be erected
for that institution may be placed just
across from the original building and
work into the proposed group which
has been planned by the state board of
control.
Construction on the building will
commence as soon as the plans are
complete and bids are received. 1t will
be located on the north side of Seventh
avenue directly opposite the present
building. The 500, 600 necessary to
complete the structure was appropriate
ed by the Legislature last year through
the efforts of Senator Marden.
BY the closing of Twelfth street, the
school will have supervision of the
property between Sixth and Eighth
n on the north and south, and
Eleventh and Thirteenth streets on the
west and east, excepting the block
bounded by Seventh and Sixth avenues
and Eleventh and Twelfth streets. 1t
Is expected that later the state board
of contIOl will purchase the entire
block so that the school will have the
entire square for their campus The
new building will be used for science
purposes.
