Light and Heavy Teams Struggle fol-
Title in the Athletic
League.

By far the best elementary school bas-
ket bail yet seen in Washington is now
taking place in the ranks of the Public
Schools Athletic League. The style of
play of players and teams is superior to
that OF former years. AS in former years.
the champions Of the tenth and eleventh
divisions in the heavyweight division are
better than teams of the twelfth and
thirteenth divisions, while the tenth divi-
sion lightweight champions seem to have
the edge on the other contenders.
Never before have the games been SO
efficiently managed as this year. The
improvement is due to the former years
of experience and the personnel of the
committee. Chairman Montgomery and
his co-iaborers deserve commentator
from their fellow-workers and superior
officers In the school system. They are
receiving the fullest cooperation from
the principals of the contending school
teams.
Six games of the series have been
played with the following results:
Stevens School lightweight team has
defeated the Jones and Birney School
teams: Bruce won from Birney and lost
to Jones School.
Slater School easily defeated Banneker

PHILADELPHIA. January 16.-Organ-
lied base ball magnates are breathing a
bit easier these days. The inability of the
fighting FederalS to induce many of the
major leagues stars to flop to their or
ganization in the last few days have en-
couraged the various club owners of the
johnson and Tener circuits to feel con-
fident enough to predict that the out
laws will have very few of the real
headIiners enrolled by the time it comes
to play ball.
Ban Johnson, out in ST Louis, said that
fully so per cent of the American League
men have already signed 1914 contracts
and President John X. Tener, in this city.
yesterday sent out a statement that
everything was progressing finely for the
National League and that the contracts
sent out by the clubs were coming back
as fast as the return mail could bring

BY J. ED GRILLo.

1t is understood that the Federal
League has really tied up but little real
money in signing its players Those three
year contracts, with which they have
caught several major leaguers, are guar
anteed by bonding companies, and little
if any cash has been deposited. Pre-
'sumably the players have taken the
precaution to determine the standing of
the companies which promise to make
good these contracts, and doubtless the
bonding companies are thoroughly salts
fled as to the financial responsibility of
the hackers of the Federal League, but
just the same, comparatively little money
has been required.
Another point that the players should
not overlook is the fact that the new
league will have them in an embarrassing
position if it decides that wholesale sal
AIRY cutting is in order after a year or so
of existence. There is no doubt that the
players who jump organized base ball
will be almost at the mercy of the out
laws as soon their present contracts
run out. Organized base ball Is sure to
put majority of these players under
the ban and the Federals will be able to
handle them as they see fit. The Fed
erals, however, have expressed the belief
that they will be in the fold of orga n
lied base ball before all this happens
That the furry caused by the activities
of the Federals is helping ball players of
the two major leagues to sign up quickly
and at good terms is shown by the prog
ress the big clubs have made of late in
lining UP their players. The CLUBS are
conciliatinS all their men who are show
ing a disposition to hesitate about signing.
The result is that salary lists of the
clubs will be materially increased.
one wartime policy of the Federal
League, as announced by President Gil
more of the OUTLAW" organization, is
that of pooling players and SO dividing
them up among the various clubs that
the respective teams will be equally bal
anced Under ordinary conditions such
plan would be severely condemned.

While thus far the Federal League has

heads of the movement. The plan is to
wreck the first division teams of both

eral League, where because of the pool

Now that the Players Fraternity has
lifted the edict which prevented the play
ers from signing their next year con-
tracts, the Federal League is not finding
it an easy matter to induce players to
jump to its ranks. Incidentally the big
league clubs are not arguing over the
salary question. Most of the players are
getting just about what they ask and as
a result the Federal scouts are baff1ed.
Joe Tinker admits that he would have
had both Groh and Niehof of the Cincin-

FRATERNITY TO KEEP
CLEAR OF CONFLICTS
Base Ball Organization Will Take No
Part in War Between Majors
and Federals.

NEW YORK. January 16-The Base
Ball Players fraternity will take no
part in the present conflict between the
Federal League and organized base ball
This announcement was made Wednesday
night by David L. Fultz, president of the
fraternity.
1T is the feeling of those who are con-
nected with the fraternity" said Fultz,
that base ball war is matter between
leagues and club owners. and one in
which ball players organization should
not take part and has no right to take
part.
An interview came to my attention
yesterday quoting James NJ Gaffney,
president of the Boston National League
cub, as saying that he felt that I, as
president Of the fraternity. should take
some action intended to prevent players
from jumping. 1 disagree with Mr.. Calf
ney, because / feel that such action is
not within my power.
Would Respect Contracts.
The fraternity, however, will not coun-
tenance the jumping of any player to
the Federal League who at present is
unde.' contract with either an American
vi NdtloHdi LcdSuc CluD OF any OInef Or
ganized club. Long before the Federal
League cleaned on the base ball hori-
son. rule was made by our fraternity
which automatically expelled any player
under contract who jumped that contract
But the fraternity disregards the re-
serve clause and will take no action
against player who signs with an or
ganization outside of organized base ball,
VINO Is bound to organized base ball only
by the reserve clause. Miner Brown
and Joe Tinker were held to the Gin
cinnati club only through the reserve
clause and their action in going over to
the Federals will not mean their eX-
pulsion from our fraternity.
Tinker and Brown. in our minds, broke
no law when they went to the Federals.
They contracted to play ball with the
Cincinnati club for only one year. They
fulfilled that contract, and when the
playing season ended in 1913 they legally
were free to contract with the club that
offered them the best inducements
