WOULD RESTORE MEN
TO FRAT STANDING

New York, Nov. 17.-Peace between
organized baseball and the Federal
league would mean the restoration to
luli membership in the Baseball Play
ers Fraternity of Federal league play
ers VINO We're members previously,
except contract JUMPERS. 1t was stated
last night by David l.. Fultz, presi-
dent OF the fraternity. Moreover, the
fraternity would oppose any attempt
to: discipline players who, have. gone
10 the Federal league without violat-
ing contra cts. and it was telt that ever
those who had jumped their contracts
should be dealt with leniently, he said.
In the peace negotiations between
organized baseball and the Federal
league, was President Fultz' state
ment, much has been said about taxi
ing care of the Federal league mag
mates. but little. about taking care of
the Federal league players. Should
the federal league be taken into or,
ganized baseball. the immediate effect
or such move would be to restore
automatically a full membership in
the Baseball Players Fraternity all
Federal league players who were pre-
viously. except the eight or ten con-
tract players.
Hundreds of players. both in the
Federal league and organized bali,
are under long-term' contracts Which
contain no release clause. Any peace
negotiations. therefore. which ignort
these contracts. will necessarily fal'
short of their purpose. as the frater.
nifty and the public will insist that a IL
contracts be. carried. out" .-.,
: In regard to contract jumpers, Fultz
said: :
"The magnates Should remember
that for every player who has jumped
a contract. there has been magnate.

Germans Only Think
Of Getting a Start
On Their Pursuers

LONDON, Sept 12.-The correspondent
of the Daily Telegraph has sent the fol-
lowing dispatch from the front:
THE last remnants of the Germans
cavalry have been destroyed and a large
part of their mobile artillery and ammu-
milton trains have been taken. Huge
numbers of their rank and file have
either been captured or cut off.
"A wireless message to Berlin, which
was intercepted here today said. We are
badly in need OF horses and supplies
"A German general who slept in an inn
here last night was overheard to say to
one OF his aides. a great disaster has
overtaken us.
"An English officer of an aviator
scouting corps remarked: 1t will be a
miracle II any Of these Germans get
home again. Their only anxiety now is
to increase the distance between them
selves and their pursuers.'
There can be no doubt that the tide
has turned in the allies favor. The
great German coup has failed. There
will be no siege Of Paris and the govern
ment can safely return home from Bor-
deaux at once"

this right wing TO surrender
THE Russian cavalry has got behind
the retreating army with guns and the
situation OF the. Austro-G Germans is now
desperate, To cross marshes and rivers
with cavalry and artillery and ammuni-
ton in the rear Is more than any beaten
aimy ever accomplished since Napoleon's
time. Moreover. the Austro-Germans have
