Turned Down.

David L. Fultz, president of the
Baseball Fraternity, the same old
Dave who starred as an outfielder
and batter for the New York Amer
leans five years ago, paid visit to
Newark yesterday to address a young
mems meeting held in Wallace Hall
at the Newark Y. M. c. A. Fultz,
the man who bearded the National
Commission lions in their own den
and wrested away from organized
baseball one of the cherished privi-
leges it held SO highly for many years,
made an address that scored a hit
with his audience. He spoke on the
influence an older boy or man has on
the younger fellows. After the meet
ing F'ultz was buttonholed and asked
for his opinions on various matters
concerning the Players Fraternity S
attitude toward the Federal League
jumpers. Fultz replied that the
players who had deserted their clubs
in organized baseball were under sus-
pension-not Enthusiastically be-
bause there was no Federal League
chapter In the Players Fraternity.
He also declared that the Federal
League had made application for ad-
mission into his organization last
year, but at the time the Federals
were not considered to be up to the
class IA standard. I'VE started out
on top" said F'ultz. land We did moi
take in the Federals because we die
not know their calibre."

CYCLISTS ARRIVE
AFTER DAYS DELAY
G0uIlet, Grenda and Clark De.
lighted to Get Back to
Newark.
ALL ENJOY STAY ABROAD

Alf Goullet, Alt Grenda and Jackie
Clark are back in Newark. The three
Australian bike stars, who competed
in the Paris six-day race. returned
yesterday on the Kaiserin Auguste
Victoria, and they say they are
mighty glad to be back. Fred Diver,
Clark's trainer, was also a passenger
on the big German liner. Considerable
rough weather was encountered on
the voyage across the Atlantic. which
caused the ship TO be a day late and.
incidentally, made some Of the re-
turning athletes suffer from seasick-
ness.
The three riders were pleased with
their success abroad, and aside from
the hardship Of riding In a painfully
cold building In the Paris six-day
race, had a very enjoyable trip. They
could have had engagements, both in
six-day races and short distance
events In Paris, Brussels and Berlin,
but they passed up these offers, pre-
ferring TO come back to Newark to
rest up for the outdoor season In
America. They are signed with the
y
will not race again until the opening
of the season at the Yelodrome, which
is scheduled for April u. Big Grenda
looked thin and drawn. but Goullet
and Clark did not show any effects
from the rigors of the. Paris race.
In commenting on the Paris race,
Goullet stated that none of the riders
was in good form at the finish and
had he shown even a flash Of his New
York form he would have won easily,
in spite of the five-Inan French COM
sination that was against him. Goul-
let freely admitted that he was team
ing in the final mile with Joe Fogler
and Walter Rutt, but that neither Of
them rendered him any assistance.
Rutt, said Goullet, was IN very bad
shape and was not the Rutt we know
here.
Clark stated that he was not very
much disappointed by not finishing
the Paris race.
1.-The building was so cold 1 could
not keep warm even with five big
sweaters and a fur-lined overcoat,"
said Jackie, land as | am very poor
performer in cold weather I felt no
regrets when Root and / retired. Rutt
contracted a very bad cold and has
been sick ever since. His right lung
is affected and he is in pretty bad
shape Had I finished the race I
might have been In as bad shape as
the big German"
The Paris promoters were very
anxious to have Clark stay in Paris
and meet Hourlier again and also
meet Kramer and other riders, but
Jackie was homesick and the offers
held no allurements for him.
According to the returning cyclists
Julian Pouchois. who was defeated by
Kramer in a match race yesterday IN
Paris, is riding faster than any man
in Europe at the present time. They
also agree that Kramer IS riding as
fast as at any time in his career, and
saw he will sweep the boards, as he
did last year during his campaign
abroad.

FULTZ TELLS FRATERNITY'S
ATTITUDE TOWARD JUMPERS

do you think that the Federal
League will be taken into the fold
within a year," Fultz was asked.
THAT is subject on which would
rather not be quoted l guess every
one knows" he added with a smile.
Some people seem to think that
the players who jump should be
blacklisted and regarded as 'scabs,
to use a slang expression. So far as
we are concerned, they are not COM
hitting any crime SO long as they
do not break a contract. 1t would be
poor business union that would
blacklist men who have a chance to
get better than union wages and a
long contract in the bargain, wouldn't
1t now?"
Fultz's success as a leader of men
can easily be understood when one
stops to analyze his ualitieS and his
makeup. His speech to the youngsters
was gem, and carried a punch
straight from the shoulder Fultz,
who was always noted for being a
gentlemanly ball player during his
big league career, told the youngsters
that christianity, makes a man a
better athlete and athletics help TO
make a man a better Christian. We
attach too much honor to victory
alone" said Fultz, "and oftentimes
overlook the valiant fight put up by
the vanquished. Any old club can be
a good winner, but it takes a team OF
real men to be good losers. 1 say II
| in sense of reverence when l declare
| that Jesus Christ was the earnest
man who ever lived. Boys, he knew
from the start what was before him
but he never quit Let Him be you

REGULARS READY
TO SMOTHER FEDS
Moguls, Big and Small, Flock to
New York for Special
Meetings.
MAY FORM THIRD LEAGUE

Baseball owners, big and small, will
confer in New York this week, and
before they finish It Is believed that
the Federal League movement will be
snuffed out or crippled in such a
manner that 1t cannot survive.
The National League will answer
the call of the president, Governor
John K Tener, at the Waldorf Tues
day morning. On Wednesday the
American League, with President Ban
Johnson In the chair, will meet at the
Baltimore Hotel.
The big fellows in organized base
hail have been working on plan to
take care of Charles Weeghman, of
Chicago. The plan, if adopted, will
enable Weeghman to operate another
club in the Windy City In the Amer
lean Association, with grounds on the
north side.
1t is known that either the Toledo
or st. Paul franchise In the associa-
ton can be turned over to Weeghman
if the necessary consent of c. w.
Murphy, of the Cubs, and other Ma
tional League club presidents can be
obtained.
So far, Murphy, backed by the own
ers of the Brooklyns, Giants and
Pittsburghs, can block these proceed
ings, and 1t will not be surprising to
learn that the owners of the Phillies.
Cincinnati Reds and the Boston
Braves fall in line today.
With the plan to take care of
Weeghman blocked, an entirely new
scheme to protect major and minor
league territory will be suggested
when the major leagues come to-
gether. 1t will be outlined that the
formation of new major league, to
be operated under the protection Of
organized baseball, can solve the
problem.
The proposed new circuit will in
woke the placing of clubs In Pitts
burgh, Cincinnati. Cleveland, Detroit.
Baltimore, Brooklyn, Buffalo and
Washington, the franchises to be sold
to persons who want to get Into the
game, and the grounds of clubs al
ready operating in these cities to be
used.
If this plan falls to meet with uni
versal approval, it is a certainty that
the magnates will discuss the old
scheme of admitting the International
League into Brooklyn, Pittsburgh and
perhaps Washington, with the Ameri-
can Association to enter Chicago,
Cleveland or Cincinnati.
August Hermann. of Cincinnati,
chairman OF the National Commits
sion, arrived In New York yesterday.
He declared that the Federal League
would soon dissolve, and that he did
not favor the plan to help Weegh-
man and company out of a tight fix.
He said that the Federals had no
backing in at least four cities, and
that they had actually signed not
more than twenty-four major league
players. Hermann seems to favor
the disbarment of all National and
American League players who actu-
ally begin sthe season in Federal uni
forms. He would include Joe Tinker,
he declared.

KNABE COMING HERE TO
GET ERNIE WOLF FOR FEDS

Joe McGinnity, trained at Danville.
He was released early in the season
to Charlotte, N. c., from which club
the Cleveland Maps drafted him the
following spring. The Waterbury
club is an asset of the Cleveland club
and Wolf finally wound up in the
watch" town.
Otto Knabe has the best team in
the Federal League, according to COM
petent baseball judges, and Wolf was
delighted when Knabe made him an
offer. The Baltimore outlaw leader
is travelling all around the country
and his schedule is mapped Out weeks
ahead. He has written to Wolf that
he would be here February IA, which
comes next Saturday. If Wolf signs
he will be the second local boy to go

an is the other 'terrapin twirler' Sc
cured from these diggings by Knabe.

Many starters in a-Miie Bicycle Race
EngIishman Runs 1856 Miles.

A remarkable road-running per-
Torrance was recently accomplished
by G. w. Hart, well-known English
athlete, who in running between
Brighton and London. covered a dis
lance of 1856 miles. His task was to
get to London, back to Brighton and
return to the metropolis, the esti-
mated distance being 1876 miles. Ac-
cording to the time recorded by the
officials of the run, Hart required
A hours and Al seconds for the run.
An analysis of the run showed that
the runner covered the first two
stages of the journey in 22 hours
and 27 minutes, which was almost
doubled in the last leg. Notwith-
standing meeting with a fog when
nearing the end of the journey, the
runner finished strong.
