WITH FED CLUBS
Refuses to Go TO BinghamtOn,
Where Newark Team Sold
Him.

Newark Club. Arlie Britton, the
right handed finger, released Monday
to Binghamton, has set his foot down
on the proposition and refuses to re-
port to the New York State League
club. Britton is dickering with Man
ager Bill Bradley. of the Brooklyn
Federals, and Manager Larry
Schlaf1y, of the Buffalo outlaws. He
believes that the work he did with
Misunderstanding credit for three vic
tories and no defeats and pitching in
an eXtra-inning game-entitled him
to more consideration than he re-
ceived. Az
Maurice Kent, who was let out TO
Memphis. has been furnished with
transportation to that city, but has
not yet made up his mind on the
course he will pursue.
Clarence o. Kraft, the first sacker
of the Newark club, was missed very
much in yesterdays game here. Clar-
ence will not be allowed TO play
until the National Commission re-
verses its orders or some agreement
is reached between the Newark and
Nashville clubs Kraft visited Presi-
dent David L. Fultz, of the Players
Fraternity, in New York yesterday,
and Fultz wrote a letter to Garry
Hermann, explaining the atti-
tude of Kraft and the fraternity,
which will back up the Cincinnati
agreement to the finish in case of
fight. Kraft will remain in this city
until the matter is closed. He is
certain that it will come out all right.
The Newark club offered players
and cash to New Orleans, but the
Southern Leaguers are stubborn
President Cavanaugh, of the Southern
Association, is the one who is making
much of the trouble He was OPP
posed to the agreements made by
the National Commission on the Glass
AA waivers from the start. He
claimed that when the International,
the Pacific Coast and the American
Association we're raised in classified
ton it was agreed that drafted play
ers, if returned to the minors, must
be sent back to the Southern League
if they originally came from such
clubs in that circuit as desired to
recover their services. He is making
the Kraft case an issue. When the
International started its fight for
higher classification the Southern
wanted to move up, too, but was
finally coaXed into yielding on the
above agreement. The International
gets $500 for drafted players, while
the Southern gets only $1,000 from
the majors. The Dixie men claim
that if the new fraternity rule goes
through Glass "A clubs can raise the
original $1,000 in selling back play
ers. The National Commission is in
peculiar position.
All of the runs-three-scored by
the Newark and Montreal teams were
unearned yesterday.
Halstein and Boyle did fairly well
for newcomers. Manager Howley Is
lucky to have the same infield work
ing together on two successive days.
Same old Del Mason-same old jinX.
Billy Zimmerman got on three times
out of four chances. Had his mates
been able to follow up, it would have
been a different story.
"Old Hits-'em in the Pinch" Gus
Getz was there with the one-base
bingle that sent in the tying run in
a fine ninth inning rally with two
down.
Callahan's elout in the fourth had
so much force behind it that Flynn
could not hold the ball, and it went
for a single, filling the bases.
Holmuuist was called out on a third
strike that was low and bit outside.
Decisions like that hurt in the
pinches.
A number Of fans were counting on
Smith to make a squeeze play with
Holmquist at bat in the fourth. 1t
was case of sixes-the Tigers
seemed to be getting to Mason, and it
would not have been commendable
Judgment to give up one man on a
dubious play.
Tooley was slow in covering third
in the fifth, giving Halstein a chance
TO make that bag.
Purtell at short, had ten fine field
ing chances. giving Mason fine sup
port. Too bad for the Royals that
the kid is not clouter, though he
may come around.
Carl Cashion is due to join the
Royals today He is pitcher coming
from the Washington Americans.
Double headers today and tomorrow
will keep the pitchers of both teams
busy.
Ed Donnelly, former Tiger. is with
the Royals, and did his best to win
the game from them-from the coach
ing lines.
meet me- A.
