magnates by surprise, The fraternity
held it's meeting in New York Sun
day and drafted a plan of campaign.
The ultimatum came Unexpectedly,
and found the owners unprepared.
The case of Kraft is the immediate
cause of a break. But Fultz asserts
that in numerous instances the So
called Cincinnati agreement, reach
ed at a conference of magnates and
players representatives last year, has
been f1agrantly violated. He claims to
have made frequent demands for
redress in behalf of some of the
sighted athletes, but in no case re-
ceived any satisfaction.
The side to which the public swings
will win. If the fans decide that the
players have a just grievance, the
magnates will not get far with their
proposition to close the parks. If the
fans decide that the players are, act
ing hastily, they will take the closing
of the parks gracefully.
An affair such as this promises to
be has been in the air for some time.
1t began with the formation of the
fraternity. Pultz, at its head, is an
old ballplayer, and also a clever law
yer. The magnates found they were
up against a difficult proposition
when it came to doing business with
him. He could discover the joker in
a contract.
johnson has been trying to get rid
of Fultz for some time. He refused
for a time to receive the president of
the fraternity in Cincinnati. Ban
knew that the lawyer-athlete was a
keen one.
Apparently the players considered
that this was the psychological mo-
ment to act. The Federal has not
waned in popularity, and any of the
athletes who strike and want to jump
will probably find positions with the
third circuit.
