Jimmy Britt Sails for
Long Vaudeville Tour

NEW YORK. July 21.--Jimmy Britt
and Hugh D. Mcintosh, who were as
ISOLATED in promoting boxing on a
large scale in London severSl years
ago. sailed for Europe on the Aqui-

Mcintosh went to London it was to
carry out big boxing deal. but their
present trip has nothing to do with
sport.
1t is an interesting coincidence that
both gave up their boxing interests to
Intosh in the office and managerial

shown the finish of the race which
Hourlier won. Hourlier Is on the pole
and leading Poulain by about a half
wheel. Ellegaard, who finished
third, is away on the outside, and
saveral lengths back of Hourlier on
the pole is Friol, who finished fourth.
Ellegaard and Friol are both in
tentedly watching the fight for first
place between Hourlier and Poulain
and have apparently eased up. The
picture at the bottom shows the start.
Frioi is on the pole, Houriier is Sec
ond, Poulain third and Ellegaard is
on the outside. Hourlier. although he
won the race, has not, up to the pres
ent time, been declared the winner
officially. Poulain finished second,
but was disqualified when Ellegaard
lodged a claim of foul, and Poulain in
turn has claimed tsat Hourlier fouled
him, which caused him to run Ellie
gard off the track and on to the
grass. The matter is up before the
Union Velocipidique of France, the
governing body, and both claims Will
be heard before the final result OF
the race is officially announced.

PITTSBURGH, July 21.-The Bos-

of the proposed strike of ball players
yesterday Max Carey received word
from Fultz ordering the strike for
tomorrow. On being asked what the
Pirates intended to do about 1t he
said there was not man on the team
that would play tomorrow unless the
agreement was lived up to by the
National Commission. Several of the
players We're seen and asked what
they intended to do and. they said
they would do whatever they were
ordered by Fultz through Carey.
Several men on the Boston team,
like Maranville. Deal, Mann, Evers
and others were also seen and they
all said that not only would the
Boston team strike, but every other
team in the two big leagues with the
possible exception of two out of the
two major leagues.

CLEVELAND. O., July 21.-C. w.
Somers, owner of the Maps, will not
attend the meeting in New York to-

of the players who belong to the
Players Fraternity. Nevertheless, he
is in full sympathy with the stand
taken by President johnson, who says
the American League will close its
gates rather than give in to the fra
ternity.
II do not believe there will be any
strike, said somers last night. For
the question at stake is too trivial
and does not concern the American
League in the least. But, IL the play
ers do strike, l am willing to abide
by the decision of the other club
owners and close my park as far as
American League games are con-
cerned."

Champions viii Join Strike
Movement if Kraft Case Is
Not Settled.
BAN JOHNSON WILL FIGHT
American League Head to Close
Ball Parks if Revolt
Comes.

The Baseball Players Fraternity
has declared open. war on the club
owners Of the National and American
Baseball Leagues and the National
Commission has been Informed that
the ball players will go out on a
strike tomorrow.
The cause of all the trouble is the
case of Clarence Kraft, of the New
ark International League Club, who
went to Brooklyn this season from
Nashville. Later waivers were asked
on him, the Boston Braves refusing
to waive on him and ne was sold to
Boston. Still later Boston asked
waivers on Kraft and Brooklyn re-
called the player and turned him over
to Newark Nashville, in the mean
time, claimed the player. The Ma
tional Commission decided that the
player should go to Nashville. The
fraternity claims that Kraft belongs
to Newark, and that he is entitled to
the salary paid him by the Tigers,
which is higher than the amount he
would receive from Nashville. Kraft
has refused to report to Nashville,
and in taking this stand he is acting
upon the advice of the fraternity.
for the American League last night,
declared that If the players dared to
carry out their threats, all the ball
parks in his league would be closed
for the season, the salaries of all
players would be cut off and that the
offenders would be heavily fined be-
fore the parks were reopened. How
ever, David L. Fultz, chairman of the
Players Fraternity, and the leading
.RIas !, "A le@ afrrI.f No.
there is some hope of averting the
strike. Mr.. Fultz notified August
Hermann, chairman of the National
Commission, yesterday that If by to-
morrow Kraft had not been allowed
to play with Newark, the players be-
longing to the fraternity would no
longer Consider themselves under
contract" to their respective clubs.
Though "a strike" was what was in
tended, 1t appeared neither in tha
correspondence or in the official dis
cussions on the crisis. No word has
been received by the Newark Club,
which is playing a series of games
in Providence, but according to
advice received from that city today,
If President Fultz notifies the New
ark and Providence players, both
teams will go on strike tomorrow.
The action of Fultz took the club
owners of the big leagues by COM
plete surprise. 1t was said, however,
that Mr.. Fultz made this bold stroke
with the hope of bringing about an
immediate settlement
The American magnates are hold
Ing a meeting early today in the
Hotel Walcott New York, for the
sole purpose of settling matters. A
baseball strike at the present time,
in the opinion of big baseball men,
would be a serious blow to the ma
tional game. and one from which it
would not recover for some time.
Another advent which placed organ
ized baseball in a perilous position
Is the invasion of the Federal League
this year. The fraternity itself is
well organized, but does not include
all ball players in the big leagues.
