For moment Johnson could not help from

thus. Every time fortune seemed to smile
on him, a storm blew up unexpectedly and
hid her from sight. That had happened when
sudden poverty forced him to leave college;
also when Col. Phillip P. Payne, who had
aided Trinler in the promotion of the trac-
ton company, had plunged in the bucket
shops, depleted the treasury and had disap-
peared. The traction company collapsed.

KRAFT Case MAY
NOW CO TO Court

Bv The United Press
NEW YORK. July 15-Relations
between the National Commission,
organized baseball's supreme court
and the Players Fraternity, were
badly strained today as the result Of
secret meeting of the fraternity
held Sunday. at which it is reported,
the board Of directors voted to go
"a the court mat again with the
moguls of the game.
The case in point is that of Player
Kraft. who was drafted by Brooklyn
from a Southern Association team,
Just previous TO the fraternity-com-
mission working agreement that
made compulsory waiver route
through various classifications for all
players released by major or big
minor leagues. The National Com
mission ordered Kraft TO Nashville.
Newark, a Glass AA club. wanted
Kraft, and refused 10 waive. Then
came a reported reversal by the Ma
tional Commissions ruling ordering
Kraft to Nashville. Later the COM
mission communicated to Fultz that
its first order was irrevocable. Il
is on this point that the Kraft case.
II is said, will go into the courts.

hold on their position as to insure
them against almost any contingency.
Not so this year Whether the local
champions have gone back or the
other clubs are stronger than in pre-
vious years is a question, but there
is one sure thing. all the clubs. with
possibly the exception of Lancaster,
have been playing more consistent
and faster ball than i'm any former

made for a better fight for the pen
nant. and their final resting places
are more a matter of doubt just now

Fessenden Free Press: w. NJ
VanFoorhees, Fain Rolph and Fred
Brandt were taken up by the local
game warden for catching young
wild duck on the Jim river north
of town. They plead guilty and
the first named was fined SO per
bird, or $50 and costs, while the
two latter, being boys, were given
severe reprimand and dismissed.
In extenuation Of the offense it
is proper to state that neither Mr..
VanVoorhees nor the boys knew
that they were violating the law in
catching the young ducks which
they intended to domesticate, but
the law forbids this unless one has
a special permit from the state
game board
j The game protection laws OF the
state have so lo1rg been violated
with impunity that the officers hav-
ing the matter in charge now are
determined that the law must be
respected ana it seems quite GER
tain that every violator will be
prosecuted if caught.
