much worn these days may be bought
in most of the shops FOR SO. The pop

people do not know that between the

Sporting Letter

New York, Feb. 27.-These be days
when Dave L. Fultz, president of the
baseball players fraternity, is tear
ing his raven locks and living many
sleepless nights in an effort to figure
cut just what to do with reference to
the Federal league.
"The Federal leaguers want our Or
ganization to give their league a
major status" said Fultz. "They are
paying major leagues salaries, and l
don't doubt they will open the sea-
son. Personally l believe the league
will be a success. But my personal
conviction cannot serve for my official
one. And as matters stand now the
rules of our organization plainly state
that such a league as the Federal
league is an outlaw organization.
"Last year the Federal league was
class D organization. Our rules
do not permit players from the class
D league as members. But this year
the Federal league is a different prop
osition.
"The status of an organization is
defined by the salaries it pays. A
league that pays unlimited salaries is
a major league. The Federal leag
uers are paying unlimited salaries,
and therefore ought to get a major
league classification. l could call a
board of directors meeting to discuss
this problem, but l feel sure that the
directors of our fraternity, looking at
the proposition in an official way,
would hold out against giving the
Federal league a status until they do
open the season.
"Our rules also provide that any
player that jumps from protected to
an unprotected, or outlaw league, is
suspended for an indefinite period.
This has been done in the case of all
players who have jumped from or
ganized baseball to the Federals.
"The Federal leaguers thought /
was unfair toward them because l
have refused to recognize them in an
official way. Yet l am sure that those
who read our rules will find that |
am not permitted to give them of
fetal recognition, and that no official
recognition can be given them until
the board Of directors change our
rules.
'I freely admit that the Federal
leaguers have done more for the ball
players than has the fraternity or

players who will take part in all
tournaments there, and players and
ponies leave for the south today. In
the team are Robin Hayne No. 1; Will
Tevis Jr., No. 2; j. C. Cowdin, No. g
and Harry Hastings, back.
The team will play with rating
Of nine goals.
The tournament in the south will
commence March 1 and continue until
March 20. During it's run there will
be large number of local polo en-
thusiasts and society folk in attend
ance, 80 at least going from here to
see the play.
Plans are that at the conclusion Of
the tournament at Coronado the teams
there will be asked to come here and
participate in the annual tournament
of the San Mateo club, which starts
March 20 and will continue until
April 6.
While away the San Mateo players
expect to annex several trophies, as
they will enter all prize events to BE-
played, and hope to arrange for most

A BETRAYAL STORY
WITH NEW SEQUENCE

San Francisco, Feb. 26.-The story
told by Rosa Harris. the candy girl
of Providence, X. L., in which She
sobbed out the details of her highe
from that city with Nicholas Landi,
jeweler, so touched the Federal grand
jurors that they took up collection
for the girl, who is destitute, and
then indicted Landi on a charge Of
white slavery.
Miss Harris is young and attract
i've and her story first came out
through Attorney George H. Corliss,
who found her crying in the entrance
to the Balboa building, last Saturday
night.
The girl told him her story and he
took the matter to the notice of De
tective Joseph Redmond, who arrested
Landi. She told of being persuaded to
elope with Landi and of drawing from
the bank.
She said that Landi promised TO
marry her, but in Chicago he told
her that this was not his intention,
but he was going to take her to San
Francisco to force her into life of
shame.
They arrived here week ago and,
according to the girl, Landi constant
ly threatened her with revolver until
she finally fled from him,

OLD MAN SEEKING
LEGAL COMPETENCE

San Francisco, Feb. 24.-The fight
of Loren Coburn, "the poor old rich
man of San Mateo county," to be re-
stored to competency in his 88th year,
will be re-opened this morning in
Superior Judge Cabiniss' court, with
a veritable army of lawyers arrayed
against each other.

will have for counsel, Sullivan, Sui
livan and Roche, Cullinan and Hickey
and Ross & Ross of Redwood City.
Attorneys for Coburn stated yes
terday that the battle over the mil
lions involved in the law suit would
be productive of a number of sensa
tions and that the heavy firing would
commence just as soon as the case
was called in court this morning.
Coburn was deprived of the right
to handle his own affairs six years
ago. He fought stubbornly but un-
successfully ever since trying to re-
gain his competency" His last at
tempt resulted in dramatic strug-
gle in the Redwood City courts and
ended in a disagreement. Then Co

anyone else. They have made it pos
sible for the players to get big sal
aries, either by remaining loyal to
organized baseball or by jumping to
the Federals. I also believe that if it
hadn't been for the activity of the
Federals the National commission
would not have accorded me the treat
ment they did, and most likely would
have rejected the major portion Of our
demands.

the purpose of helping the player,

this organization, Immediately rule
that the Federals are a major league
organization, lift the suspension of
the players who jumped to that league
from organized baseball and permit
all Federal league players to become
members of our organization.

nothing can be done until the board
of directors meet. This meeting most
likely will be called Immediately af-
ter the Federals open their season.
That will be proof conclusive that
they really exist as league"
"The Baseball Fraternity was not
organized merely for membership OF
organized ball players, although at
the time of its organization there
seemed no prospect of an outlaw or
ganization rising to major league pro-
portions. Now that one has risen to
such a point it will be up to us SC
to amend our rules as to take care OF
this contingency.

New York, Feb. 26.-When the
Federal League was just beginning
to break into print and disturb the
peace of mind of organized baseball,
ore of the chief stocks in the trade
of arguing against the possibility of
the league being unable to live was
the statement of the big officials that
there was not room for third league
There was no place for another or
ganization, it was declared, and there
fore the Federals could not exist. AS
a result of the recent meeting of the
Leagues in New York, however, we
row know that organized baseball it
self has been considering the estab-
lishment of third major league cir
cult. Also that one of the 'war
plans" considered in the early days
was the placing of a third league in
the field to combat the Federals. All
Of which indicates anything that one
may to take it as indicating.
AS might be supposed, there are
many things to consider in establish
ing a third major league circuit.
Most Of the baseball officials admit
that a real major league town will
support two ball teams. Baseball has
reached the stage where it is taken
as a steady diet by the fans and con-
tinuous ball is looked upon with fa-
vor in the larger cities. One of the
sticking points has been the matter
Of players, however. Star ball play
ers are scarce. The sand lots, minor
leagues and colleges are combed ev-
cry year for talent. Few ever get
any further than the training camps
and some go scampering back to the
tall grass soon after the season
opens. Others come up from the
training camps and are not turned
back, but they are not heard of again
for two or three years. AS a matter
of fact some of the clubs leading the
two big leagues have men buried or

than perform daily for the tailenders,
and there you are. .s.. ...
The major leagues knew they would
have difficulty putting third big
circuit under way. No one would be
willing to give up, but if the Federals
keep at it they may show how it can
be done. "The only way third major
league could be started by organized
ball" said a we'll known manager re-
Gently, "would be to take some play
ers from each of the clubs in the
American and National league as
nucleus for the league. But fine
chance there would be of getting any
of the club owners to loosen up. Why,
l could have won a pennant one year
if l could have bought, borrowed or
stolen a catcher when all of my regu-
lars were out of the game injured
Do you get me? Yes, just like
could persuade John D. Rockefeller
to pay his $12,O0O,000 in Cleveland.
The club owners hang on to what they
have, and there would be a fine time
getting players for a new league
j Connie Mack had Walsh, center
fielder for the Athletics during the
last worlds series buried for two o.
three years. Walsh was then star
but Mack had men of such high cali
Ire there was no place for Walsh but
on the bench. He played every posi-
ton on the team at one time OF an
other while waiting around for some
veteran to crack and make place
for him. These men who are doing
time on the bench are inexperienced
and need training, it is true, but
whenever a greater demand for star
players develops they will begin COM
ing to the top. If the Federal league
cuts in and is able to grab off some
of the star minor league players the
two big leagues may be forced to pu
out some of their bench warmers a
little sooner Because stars are scarce
now is no reason for believing they
will continue to be. 1t is natural to
suppose that the more baseball there
is to be played the more players there
will be developed and the percentage
of stars will increase in proportion.
The Federal league is in position
to wreck the minor leagues of the
country if it cares to, in the opinion
of Joe Tinker. He has pointed out that
where the major leagues pay fabu-
lous prices for minor league star
(the money going to the club owner(
the Federals may secure such 4
player by simply bidding to the play

organized ball with an offer of sal
ary to the player equal to the amount
the majors pay for him. After organ :
lied ball makes the purchase they
would still have the mans salary to
pay, but the Federals would have ta-
ken care of that by turning the big
money to the player in the form of
salary instead of handing it to the
club owner. AS the big money in minor
league ball comes from the sale of
players, these interests are hammer
ing loudly at the big fellows to find
some way of stopping the Feds tax
