STILL ARGUING
F>ultz States Lannin Put O. K. on Plans of the Men to Play Colonials Optimistic About Fining

New York, Oct 2S.-David L. Fultz, president of the Baseball Players Fraternity, stated last night that the players contracts had never been passed by him as president or by the fraternity as a body, because the con- tracts never have been submitted to him beforehand. In the event of the Boston players being fined by the national commission, MT. Fultz stated that the fraternity had not decided upon what action they would take. He refused to admit that they would take the matter to the courts. MT. Fultz said that he did not think that the players would be fined and that the matter would blow over. lie stated that President Johnson evil dentlv did not know the real circum- stances of the case.
 According to MT. FultZ the BOs- ton players received permission from President Lannin to play the game at New Haven and al, arrangements had been completed when on the evening before the game the permis- sion was withdrawn. It was then too late for the players to withdraw their obligation to play the game.
 Owner Lannin said he did not know that the players were going to play at New Haven.
 "I really would not have any ob- lection to the men going to play but did not know anything about it, said the president of the world champions.
 The Bosson club owner has written to the national commission and while he says the players should have re- ceived permission, he says their cases are no different from those of Ty Cobb and others who played on Sun days during the season at New Haven and after the world series

 limit of Oiphant's abilities. Tn fact, #football is just one of his accomplish #ments- Oliphant is the only four-"A" &man in West Point history. This #means that he is the only man who lever won his letter in four different 8branches of athletics. Oliphant can
 wear four jerseys with the initial "A' $on them at the same time if he #should care to. Baseball, track bas- #ketban and football are the sports in (which he has excelled to an alpha &betic degree. And he won them all

MAJOR LEAGUERS
 HIT HIGH SPOTS
Both National and American Cir
 cults See Many Strange Contests

The baseball season of 1916, notable for the number of unusual features in major league pennant play, developed a number of games in which heavy hitting, run scoring and base stealing were prominent features. A careful scrutiny of the box scores for the en- tire period discloses a cluster of odd records that might also be termed freaks of big league baseball play.
 The American league statistics show that during the season every club in the organization figured in at least one game in which the times-at- hat numbered more than 40; runs equaled or exceeded 10; hits 15, and stolen bases 5. In the National league the highest at-bats ranged from 49 to 62: runs, 10 to 13; hits, 5 to 23, and stolen bases, to il.
 Figures indicate that the Boston Fed Sox led the Am erican league with S1 times at bat, while Chicago was second with 59, and St. Louis third with 57. The New York Americans made the greatest number of runs in any one game, accommodating 19, while Boston and Detroit were tied for second place in this respect with IF. The Chicago White Sox won first place in hitting with 20, while the Detroit and New York clubs divided second honors with 19. Boston, Cleveland. Washington and Philadelphia all hammered out IT hits in at least one game during the pennant race In stolen bases, the New York Ameri- cans were also leaders, pilfering nine III one contest, while St. Louis and De- troit were tied for second place with eight each
 Tn the National league the Chicago Cubs took first place in times at bat in one game with 62. Pittsburgh was second with 61, and Brooklyn third with 58 New York and Brooklyn were tied in the greatest number of
 runs, each scoring 13, and it is of interest to note that the Giants record score in this respect was made against Pittsburgh in the onening game of the string of 17 victories which the club piled up early in the season and pre- vous to it's record breaking run of 26 games. Cincinnati was next with F runs. Tn hitting, St. Louis came first with 23 safe drives. Brooklyn second with 21, and New York and Cincin- natl tied for third with 19. St. Louis easily led the National league in the
 number of stolen bases in any one
 game, having collected il, while New York and Brooklyn qualified for i second place with seven each Boston
 and Pittsburgh being third with six. The following compilations show l the greatest number of at-bats, runs, hits and stolen bases made by each
 club in the American and National 1 leagues in any one game during the
 play for the pennants:

o You Romany!

Slip me the rag and pack, The worldwide, open track, The trail that leads from dawn to

 Tn light heart wandering By vale and hill and mountainside
 beyond the endless strife. Where is the heart to stay When the west wind calls 'Away'- When tho east wind and the north
 wind and the south wind in re- Plead in the early light Call through the gloom of night Of byways and of highways through
 the sunshine and the rain? No one to wonder when
 I come this way again,
 No one to watch and wait for me
 when I have passed beyond; No weary tears to shed
 Because some dream is dead Where every dawn shall send it's
 dream to every vagabond. , Where dn1l care leaves the mind Free from the sodden grind, Free as the drifting winds that romp by heather and oy foam, While no set lamp shall burn To wait for my return, Yet each far strand I touch upon 1 shall be the Port of Home. l Mole fur is said to be the vogue this season.
