Fultz Will Make Effort
To Protect Fed PLAYERS

New York. Feb. 13.-David L. Fultz.
president of the Baseball Players Fra
tcrnity, has issued forth with an an
nounccment that his organization is
going to do everything in it's power
to force the Federal League magnates
to live up to their contracts made with
the players.
"Of course. we never officially recog-
nized the Feds" asserted Fultz, but
the purpose of our organization is to
protect the player. While the Fed
eral League existed. the players in it
were not recognized by us. Those who
belonged to our organization and then
jumped to the Feds automatically sus-
pended themselves. But the recent
merger. which wiped out the Federal
League from experience, had the effect
of restoring to membership all our
suspended members.
LAS the matter stands now, these
men again belong to our organiza-
ton, and, therefore. It is our duty 90
secure for them square deal. Just
what action we will take in cases
where magnates of the Federal League
ignore binding contracts with players
is something that the future must de-
eide. We are marking time. Nothing
will be done until after the playing
season opens. Then We will know

TO HAVE LACROSSE
AT COLLEGE PARK

College Park, Md, Feb. 13.-If mate
rial and confidence count for anything
the Maryland Aggies are in for a most
successful lacrosse season. This game.
since its inception at the college three
years ago, has steadily gained in favor,
until now it is regarded as a major
sport. Enthusiasm over the teams
prospects Is at a high pitch and the
! candidates will take advantage of the
first favorable weather to get IN some
hard practice.
1t will have to be hard, too. If the
farmers hope to develop a team able to
| contend with some Of the strongest
lacrosse elevens in the country, Harvard
| being booked to appear at College Park
| early in the season as well as the Car
| Isle Indians. These are not the only
teams of high Caliber that will be met
! either. Hopkins will probably be on the
list and negotiations are on with sew
| eral other fast teams. However, with
practically all OF last years team avail
able and an encouraging squad of can.
ddates promised, the Aggies are conf
dent of turning out a formidable aggre.
cation.

what players, il any, have been treated
unjustly as regards their contracts"
Fultz refused to get excited over
reports that when the National Com
mission is reorganized next winter
there is a possibility of a player be-
ing named as one of its members.
Fultz said that at this time he couldn I
quite figure out where the players
would be benefited by National Com
mission representation If the player
was In the minority.
The plan. if it ever was put
through. might bring about much bet
ter conditions for the player, but |
can't imagine its full benefits just
now" added Fultz For the players
to have member in the commission
certainly would be a fine thing. The
reported plan. s l understand IT, calls
for a commission of three members,
one representing the players and the
other members representing the re-
spective leagues In case where there
was some dispute between the leagues
and the players. and the matter came
to vote, ii would be two to one
against the players, in case the COM
mission members voted as their or
ganizations dictated"
Touching on the condition of the
fraternity. Fultz said:
we are III Deller shape rlSnt now
than ever before. Our total member
ship is 1850. Approximately 80 per
cent of the big league players are eu-
rolled The balance of our member
ship is recruited from the teams in
the Glass AA and Glass A leagues. We
are taking new members right along.
DO you figure on taking in the
players of the lower leagues"
Not now. 1t seems to us that in
taking in players from the three high
est leagues we have covered the field
fairly well. At some future date we
may decide to add the Glass league
players to membership. but such a
plan is not being considered at pres
ent."
1t Is very likely that within the next
three months or so the fraternity
officials will call a general meeting
for the purpose Of re-electing officers
and formulating new plans for the
betterment OF the players conditions.

BEING AN AMATEUR
MADE VERY EASY

Louisville. Ky. Feb. 13.-There are
all kinds of amateurs, including the
variety defined by the National Anna
teur Baseball Association of America
in its meeting here.
According to the decisions of this
body. an amateur is a man who has
played professional baseball less than
one year, that being an indication that
he has given up the profession; a be-
ginuer In professional baseball who
has been released before June Is. 1t
being considered unfair to cause him
hardship because he aspires to a pro-
fession and has fallen short of the
mark; the so-called semi-pro player,
because that is not his means of live
lihood."

Captures Feature Race at Jua-
rez Over Mile from Classy
Field in l:37 As.
DUNDREARY Is SECOND

FL Paso, Tex, Feb. 13.-Showing
marked improvement over his last
previous race. Bonanza furnished a
big surprise when he scored an easy
victory in the selling handicap, the
feature OF the program at JuareZ this
afternoon. Incidentally the winner
raced the mile in the fast time of
1871 AS.
BONANZA was the extreme outsider
in the speculation and his victory was
a severe blow to the players who
backed Rapids and Dundreary ex-
% tensIvely to win. The first named
somewhat justified the confidence re-
posed in her by running second to the
winner all the way, bringing up in
tIat position at the end.
