ognition can be given them until the
board of directors change our rules.
az FREELY admit that the Federal
Leaguers have done more for the
ball players than has the fraternity
or anyone else. They have made 1t
possible for the players to get big
salaries, either by remaining loyal to
organized baseball or by jumping TO
the Federals. | also believe that if 1t
hadn't been for the activity of the
Federals the National Commission
would not have accorded me the
treatment they did, and most likely
would have rejected the major por-
tion OF our demands
The fraternity was organized for
the purpose Of helping the player yet
the greatest help the players ever got
was through the fight the Federals
are making on organized baseball.
Many people believe that in view of
this ! ought. as president of this or
ganization, Immediately rule that the
Federals are a major league organi
zation. lift the suspension of the play
ers who jumped TO that league from
organized baseball and permit all
Federal League players TO become
members of our organization.
"TCAN NOT do such a thing now,
and nothing can be done until
the board of directors meet This
meeting most likely will be called i'm
mediately after the Federals open
their season. That will ne proof con
elusive that they really exist as a
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
proportions. Now that one has arisen
to such a point II will be up TO us so
to amend our rules as TO take care of
this contingency
las president Of this organization |
am not playing any favorites The
organized baseball people and the
Federal League both will get a square
and fair deal. But in the case OF the
Federals they must be patient a little

By Frank G. Menke.

RTEw YORK, Feb. 27.-These be
IN days when Dave l.. F'ultz
president OF the Baseball Play
ers' Fraternity. is tearing his raven
locks and living many sleepless nights
in an effort to figure out just what to
do with reference to the Federal
League.
"The Federal Leaguers want our
organization TO give their league
major status" said Fultz. They are
paying major league salaries, and l
don't doubt that they will open the
season. Personally ] believe the
league will be success. But my
personal conviction can not serve for
my Official one. And as matters stand
now the rules Of our organization
plainly state that such league as
the Federal League is an outlaw or
ganization.
Last year the Federal League was
Class ID organization. Our rules DO
not permit players from the Glass ID
league to be members. But this year
the Federal League is different
proposition.
0THE status OF an organization is
defined by the salaries it pays.
A league that Gays unlimited salaries
is a major league. The Federal
Leaguers are paying unlimited sal
aries, ard therefore ought TO get a
major league classification. I could
call board of directors meeting to
discuss this problem. but ! feel sure
that the directors OF our fraternity,
looking at the proposition in an offi-
cial way, would hold out against Civ
ing the Federal League status until
they do open the season.
Our rules also provide that any
player that jumps from a protected
league 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 organized baseball TO the Fed
erals.
The Federal Leaguers thought /
was unfair toward them because /
have refused TO recognize them in an
oficial way. Yet am sure that those
who read our rules will find that l am
not permitted to give them official
