COLUMBUS, Ca, March 5.-The
Newark International League ball
players CHARTERED here are deeply
interested in the meeting of the In
ternational magnates to be held in
New York tomorrow, something which
was predicted in the Evening Star a
fortnight ago.
Orioles Not Enrolled,
There are several reasons for the
Tigers interest. First and foremost
Z Is the fact that the Baltimore club is
the only Barrow league organization
not enrolled with the Players Fra
ternity. According to Wyatt Lee the
other International League clubs will
refuse to play against Baltimore un-
less Jack Dunn allows his men to
join the fraternity. Dunn refused
permission to the Orioles last year
! when the other clubs came in. Bert
Daniels and Birdie Cree are men,
bers of the fraternity, and there may
be one or two others in Dunn's flock.
but the big majority are on the
"scab' list. Lee says that Ed Reul-
bach, who is one of the board of
directors, told him at Hot Springs
that the fraternity would insist on
the Birds joining the organization or
the other International League clubs
would refuse to play Baltimore. All
of the big league clubs are now re-
enrolled in spite of the canard sent
out that the Philadelphia Athletics
had refused to join. Lee says, If
necessary, the rest of the league will
force Dunn into submission by pay
ing the dues for the Oriole players
II Dunn refuses them the privilege to
Join, which he has no right to do In
the opinions of the Tigers.
Expect Dalton to Succeed Bsrger.
1t Is expected that Jack Dalton will
take Cy Barger's place on the board
Of directors in the Players Fra
ternity. Jack is exceptionally we'll

ers. Fred Beck. another jumper, was
included in the board of directors, and
will have to be replaced, as well as
Jacklitsch, of the Rochester club, If
he has jumped, as is reported
southerners Protest.
Another point which may be
brought up at tomorrow's Interna-
tional League meeting is the waiver
s. request, which the National Commits
sion conceded in part. The Southern
League has come out very strong
against the proposed scheme of ask
ing waivers on big leaguers through
the class AA circuits before sending
them back to class A circuits In
the past, when a major league club
drafted a player from the Dixie league
the club losing the player had the
right to put in claim for him at the
waiver price. Under the new rule
this is excepted. Glass AA clubs
could hold the men for a time and
then ask higher price than the
class A leagues received for them.
That is the Southern Leaguers' argu-
ment.
Do Not Like Dunn's Plan.
The Tiger players here are de-
lighted that Jack Dunn's scheme of
removing the draft was not put
through.
