PLAYERS SATISFIED.
Only Regret Opposition of Minor
League Representatives.

New York Jan. S.-The committee
which represented the Baseball Play
ers Fraternity before the national com
mission IN Cincinnati this week issued
a statement tonight expressing salts
faction at the granting Of so large a
proportion Of their demands and pleas
ure at the attitude of baseDall's high
est tribunal toward the players Re
gret was implied that the fraternity
did not meet with more success for
the minor league members before the
Representatives Of the lower class or
carnations.
The statement reads:
eve believe that in the Cincinnati
conference of January the ball play
ers won victory which a year ago
could not have been dreamed Of
Twelve Of our requests were grant
ed, three modified and two withdrawn
Eight or ten OF them were opposed

from the national commission and were
therefore unable to do as much for
our minor league members as we had
hoped. But even as it is, they will
be materially helped.
These representatives., we felt, were
sincere in their belief that an undue
hardship would be placed upon them
unless some requests were modified and
as we had no disposition to bring this
about, we waived the points
''The treatment accorded us, except
in the offensive attitude of one of the
couferees, was all that we could have
asked for. We were met in a fair,
cordial and dignified manner, which.
in view of the strained relations pre-
viously existing, was gratifying in the
extreme"
The statement was signed by John
P. Henry, Edward NJ Reulbach, Jacoh
E. Daubert, John B. Miller. Ray W.
Collins and David L. Fultz.

GLOOM REPORTED
OVER ALL GERMANY

ROTTERDAM, Sept. 15.-Advices re-
ceiVed here from Berlin indicate that
there is deep gloom everywhere through
out Germany. The government is max
ing public only some of the losses, and
the newspapers are carrying only a
small percentage Of even the official
lists.
There Is declared to be grave discon-
tent because the government has failed
tc make any provision for the unem-
ployed. Business generally. is at a
standstill and the leading Socialist
newspapers are complaining because the
government Is employing prisoners IN
road work instead Of hiring German
unemployed.
Some Of he reports received from in
terror Germany say that already there
are whispers of an uprising by the So
cialists, who feel that the country has
been deceived by the Kaiser. These re-
ports. however, are extrmly vague and
impossible of verlfication.
