Ebbetts Settles Trouble by Purchasing Nashville's
 Interest in Kraft.
VICTORY FOR PLAYERS,
Although EbOetts Assumes All Re- spOnsibility, Major League Mag. mates Displayed COnsid-
 erable Activity.

New York, July 21.-There will be no strike of baseball players in the two major leagues. The Kraft case, basis for a strike order, issued yes terday by the Baseball Players Fra ternity, was settled today by the Newark internationals agreeing to buy Nashville's interest in Kraft.
 Announcement to this effect was made by Charles H. Ebbetts, owner of the Brooklyn Nationals and large stOckhOlder in tine. Newark Interna- tional league club.
 At the time of MT. Ebbetts' an nou1cement the American League magnates were in session, having been called together to determine up on a course of action in case the players in the two major leagues should obey the strike order
 Mr. Ebbetts announced that Nash vile has signified it's acceptance of Newark's proposal and that Kraft would report to the Newark team at Providence tomorrow. Kraft has been under suspension for more than five weeks, ever since his refusal to re- pOlI lO lHC NdSutlllG CIuU.
 Nashville Gets $2,5OO.
 In settlement of all claims on Kraft, the Nashville club is to re- ceive $2,500, Ebbetts announced.
 q made this arrangement without either request or instructions from either the American or the National League" MT. Ebbetts said. "I act ed entirely upon my own responsib- ility. 1 settled this case myself be- cause 1 did not want to See trouble between organized baseball and it's players
 Mir. Ebbetts was asked if the Ma tional League had "backed down."
 "No," he replied. eff anybody has backed down, I have. l accept the re- sponsibility for the whole thing.''
 Kraft will not suffer in any way financially, Mr. Ebbetts continued He will be paid his Newark club sal ary of $45o month ($15O more than the Nashville club was permitted to pay him), for the time that he was under suspension and for the rest Of the life of his contract.
 Fultz Is Glad.
 David L. Fultz, president of the Baseball Players Fraternity, express ed qualification at the outcome of the case. "If the purchase is bona fide one and the New York club in tends to use Kraft, we are satisfied" he said. 50 far as We are concern ed, under these conditions, the incl dent is ended.''
 While the American League was still in session Ban Johnson was in- formed of the settlement of the case.
 That's up to Ebbetts," he said. Its his business; not mine. I don't see where the controversy anyhow"
 All that MT. Ebbetts would add to his previous statement was: "I will accept all the blame, 1 am the dead one"

AFRAID OF FEDERALS
(By Frank G. Menke.)

New York, July 21.-This is prov ing a bad year for the umpires Ill the American and National leagues, the players have taken to "sasslng'' the former czars il most unlady- like manner, and the poor old umps don't know what to do about it. or course they are chasing the sassers from the game, with the reckless abandon of yore, but they aren't levy ing fines as they used to in the good old days before the Feds came into being. You see, it doesn't pain play CT to be chased from the game. In fact, he rather likes it. 1t. means a vacation for him. But being fined, and having said fine deducted from his envelope is a different matter altogether. It wallops him in his most sensitive spot. In other years the players were walloped that way, and they had no recourse. This year it's a bit different. If fine is as- sessed and a player thinks it ua- just, all he needs to do is to jump to the, Feds.
 It's a grand little situation for tlc player, but think of-and sympathizc with-the poor dears who officiate as umpires. The worst they dare to do to a player who wounds their feel. ings is to chase those fellows from the game, and that, in the eyes of tine players, is the best possible thing that could happen to lem.

SPORTING CHATTER.

Jimmy Duffy is quite an interesting parsonage these days. He is said to be the only true lightweight who ever won decision over Freddy Welsh. This he gained at St. Louis last Febru- ary, soa hei is likely to be heard from again. There is some talk of Willie Ritchie's having Duffy to help him train for the fight he expects to pull off with Welsh next November
 George Chips able fighting in Cali fornia has made him a hero in that country and though he intends to do quite little resting during the sum- mer, he is looking ahead for next sea- son. The fight fans on the Pacific coast worship Chip more than they ever did Jimmy Clabby, who made several fights on the Pacific slope. Clabby was idolized for his science in the beginning, but with his last bout with Billy Murray his lack of punch took away big portion of his popu. larity.
 Frank Chance is looking ahead to 1915 and wisely. By fitting in new cogs now it is possible he may get truer running machine before an- other season looms up, while no amount of experimenting can put hls team much deeper in the mire than at present. The Yankees truly seem entirely out of the running for the rest of the season.

The Nashville End.

Nashville, Tenn, July 21.-Clar- ence Kraft was drafted from the Nashville club last fall by Brooklyn and Nashville's claim for him was filed with the National Commission before February 1. After releasing Kraft to Boston this spring later re- called him, President Ebbetts agreed to release the player to Nashville under an optional agreement but not otherwise. Nashville being in need of a first baseman, accepted this proposition, but the Brooklyn club delayed so long in complying that it was later formally withdrawn. The next news from Kraft was that he had been relased to Newark, of which Charles H. Ebbetts Jr. is president, and President Shropshire of Nash vile immediately filed a protest with the National Commission. He later received notification from President Garry Hermann that Kraft has been awarded to Nashville. The Nashville president maintains / that Ebbetts violated the agreement by which Kraft was drafted when he sent him to Newark, and demands that he eith- CT be returned to Nashville or that damages be paid for his loss. Mi. Ebbetts has refused to comply with either request.
 New York, July 21.-The Baseball Players fraternity today won what is probably the most notable and most pregnant victory in modern baseball, when the magnates of the national commission settled their strike threats through the purchase of the player, Clarence Kraft, by Charles H. Ebbetts of the Brooklyn National and Newark International league clubs.
 Kraft goes back to Newark under an arrangement by which Ebbetts purchased him from Nashville at a sacrifice of $1,000.
