fession in the world that contributes
80 much TO all sorts of charities as
does that OF the theater To its
members, nationality creed or posi-
sion in life makes no difference. All

That ball players should sign no con-

sued last night by David l.. Fultz,
president Of the Baseball Players Fra
ternity The statement follows:
Although the peace agreement be-

Harry X. Hampstead said yesterday,
that the club will not be sold. lie
made this statement conditional upon

For more than an hour Mr. Hemp
stead discussed the possibility of sell
ing the Giants, and gave his reasons
for wanting 10 retain control. lie
said that only the payment OF price
unparalleled in the history Of base
ball would induce him 10 part with
his holdings. lie said that he doubted
seriously that the men vino have been
named so frequently would be wiling
10 pay that price. That certain stock
holders in the club were willing 10 get
out. he would not deny, but he insisted
that with peace established, and every
indication OF prosperous season,
there was no reason 20 sell.
lie said. 90 quote uIs own word:
81 give my word as q gentleman that
have held no conferences with Nr.

sentative OF those gentlemen lie
said. moreover, that he had no appoint

marked: "That Is a matter which s
distinctly their own personal business.
There is nothing to prevent any person.
or any number Of persons, tolkng OF

preached Oh the matter.

Mr.. Hampstead then shifted the con
yersation. and indictted By his manner
that he had nc further desire 20 talk
baseball.
Later in the afternoon Harry Sin
clair was found az the Offices of the
Federal League. He forestalled all
questions and plunged right into the
matter Of the Giants. An ounce Of an
tcipaton is worth ton of after
thought. and the ability to anticipate
has put Harry Sinclair where he is to-
day.
