Organized Ball Heads Mixed Up by
Fact There Are Two Fred Smiths.

NEW YORK, October 20-President
David L. Fultz Of the Baseball Players
Fraternity is having a hearty laugh at
the expense of certain heads of organized
base ball. When Fultz published the re-
suit of the annual election OF officers it
was seen that Fred v. Smith had been
honored with position on the board of
directors The solcns. confusing this
player with the one of the same rame
who is a member of the Buffalo Federals,
jumped to the conclusion that the fra
ternity had Endorsed the independent
movement Dire retribution was threat
ened. 1t even was limited that If neces-
sary minor league operations would be
susnended in 1915 to bring the players to
time.
Fultz explained yesterday that the
Smith named on the board Of directors of
the fraternity is none other than the well
known outfielder of the Rochester Inter-
M tional League team. player in very
good grace with organized base ball.

was understood that we should receive

intend to exercise our functions for the
GOOD of the game in general. There is

PITTSBURGH. October 2O.-That Kan

eral League and the franchise go to
either New York or Cincinnati is the
statement Of President Edward A.
Gwinnef, of the local Federals Mr.
Gwinner also says that the Federal
magnates are ready to listen to any
peace proposals. but overtures must
frst come from organized base ball. In
speaking of the change in the Federal
circuit, President Gwinner said
There are several reasons why Kan
sas City will not be in the Federal
League next year. The town is too far
away from the eastern teams. and.
again. the loss sustained there when
the grounds were practically swept
clean this year by floods makes it de-
sirable to readjust the circuit
Either New York or Cincinnati will
get the Kansas City franchise, al
though three other towns have offered
ample backing and sites.
TT is possible that one other Federal
League club may decide to throw up its
franchise. although there seems to be
no doubt that a winning team in the
town could make money In the event
of the former coming to pass the cir
cult will be even better balanced and
more compact than IL with only Kan
sas City out"
