PLAYERS DEMANDS WHICH WERE TURNED
 DOWN BY OWNERS

New York. Dec. z1-Having failed to impress Organized Baseball with the justice of it's demands, the Play ers Fraternity. through David E FsuItz, president, yesterday decided to requests. F.u1tz brought the demands up when Garry Hermann, Ban John son and other major league omctaIs were in this city at the time of the National League meeting recently
 One of the most important demands made by the players is that Che fraternity be notified iTnmedfately when waivers are asked upon a play CT. The waiver rule has always been secret among club owners in che ma Jor leagues, and information on the subject has been regarded aE coufl- dentaaI The player has aI4s been the last one to know when WaiVers have been asked upon him.
 The players ask that a club which agreement shall pay the difference ln salary during the term Of tho option and they also demand that @ released player shall receive the difference ia the salary Of the releasing club and the purchasing club during the period of five or ten days of uncouditional ree1ase.
 , a higher classification want to be put upon asalary by the purehasing club from the time of the conclusion of the minor league season, or if pur= chased player from the time or his purchase. Another new demand is that a club releasing a piayer shall give him a written statement of che amount of salary he is to receive from the purchasing club, and they further demand that 1t must be a reasonable salary.
 The fraternity also asks in it's de- mands that the club which release player shall pay his expenses Co the point at which he is to jein the purchasing club. These expenses mean railroad fare, Pullman fars. and meals while en route.
 In order to give the players all the proper information in regard to their release the fraternity asks the com mission to furnish uniform notices of release to all club owners making pro- vision for the several items Of tns formation required by the fraternity.

BOB MOHA REDUCES
 FROM 245 TO TO

Boxing fans the world over were very much surprised when it was an nouncad in Australia three years ago that Cyclone Johnny Thompson had dIeweight within a few weeks time, but Bob Mohas the beer city middle weight, can go Johnny one better as to the weight business. Vincent Moha, brother of Bob and who acts as his manager, Is authority for the state ment that Bob reduced from 245 pounds to ITO within a. month or two. Before Bob was matched with Mike Gibbons at Hudson" said Vincent, The was away above weight; in fact. during the summer he scaled 245 pounds with his clothes on. That did not bother Bob and when he started training in the fall was surprised at the rapid manner in which he reduc- ed. Why, in 8 short time he was down to ITO pounds. having taken off 75 pounds in weight and made 16o at 8 for Mike Gibbons. That was taking off 85 pounds all told-some work. believe me- In the case of Johnny Thompson it might be well to men ton that at the time of his jump in weight he was matched to fight Hughey Mehegan at TAO pounds ring side. He was told that he would go stale if he tried to keep down so fine, so Johnny decided to forfeit his $500 and go in at catch-weights. He did not weigh himself and supposed he would go to about 145 or 148 pounds. The night of the show the official asked Johnny to step on the scales. It WAS not necessary as he had forfeited to Hughey, but he thought nothing of it and got aboard He was nearly Qaralyzed to see the pointer move to 162 pounds. He had gained twenty two pounds in two days. From that time on Johnny was a middIeweight.
