FULTZ ON NEW CONTRACT

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO December 3o.-Peace will
reign in base ball in 1917; Garry Herr
mann probably will remain on the ma
tionar commission. At least, that is the
the American League.
"Everything points to another won
derful race in the American League"
said Johnson. land this means prosper
ity for the whole circuit. The settle
ment Of the base ball war brought
about improved conditions: see no
signs Of a disturbing factor to cause a
setback next year.
THE threatened players strike will
not materialize. because the players
know where their bread is buttered.
Most of the stars are tied to fat con-
tracts. and these men hardly wish to
jeopardize their interests and cause
the notification of these agreements.
so far as the minor leagues are con-
cerned. they will be content to go along
on the old lines without biting off
more than they can assimilate.
There will be no legislation for the
abrogation of the draft rule The
minors will simply be given personal
hearings in important cases involving
them and the majors"
The retention of Hermann virtually
was assured at the time of the Ameri-
can League meeting. 1t was evident
that the American League }hief and
Hermann had buried the htchet. for
no move was made to oust the Gin
cinnati magnate as chairman of the
commission. The American League club
owners rushed through their routine
and put several of the big problems
Of the circuit in the hands of their
chief.
The new players contract appeased
the wrath of David F'ultz, president of
the players fraternity. The passage of
a measure permitting the minor
leaguers to have personal hearings"
before the commission may settle the
sQuabble between the majors and
minors. The retention Of Hermann
may bring about complete peace within
the ranks of organized base ball.

Made Timely Remarks.

A half dozen years ago a. recruit
pitcher Joined a major league team for
Il try-out. He had a forehead that
sloped back at an angle of 40 degrees,
an unusually small head, and Il very
large pair of feet. The club he joined
boasted of having one OF the best CATCH
ers in the business. The pitcher seemed
to have a lot of natural ability. He
was q chap with a million dollar arm
and ten-cent head. After he had
crossed the catcher couple of times.
the latter walked out almost to the
pitchers box, closely followed by Her
man Schaefer. who happened to be at
bat
Cant you get the signals? Can't you
use little judgment of your own"'
Not a chance" interjected Schaefer.
"Observe the head. then glance at the
feet
"I guess I'll never be able to pound
anything into that thick skull of yours. -
said the catcher
"Why don't you get an auger and try
boring?" chimed in Schaefer. A few
innings later the derrick was used on
the youngster. and in q few days he
was aboard the rattler for the tall un-

CALHOUN MIDDIEs' STAR

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, December 30.-The
basket ball team of the City College of
New York put up a brilliant game here
this afternoon, but went down to de-
feat before the Annapolis Midshipmen
by the narrow margin of one point. The
final score was "a to 23. The visitors
made q gallant squirt. but time was too
short.
Conquerors OF Yale, the New Yorks
were looked upon as fit for the go
against the fast Navy combination.
and this they proved to be. In general
team play their work was fast and
of the best that has been seen at An
napolis for long time. their defeat be-
ing due almost entirely to the fact that
the Middies had a keener eye for the
basket. Then too, the New Workers
took too many chances at long shots.
instead of playing in closer. Tichinsky
proved quite an adept in this respect
and three of the five baskets credited
to him were garnered as the result OF
long heaves from difficult positions.

Oregon here is shown TO nave

in the backf1eld is not so disadvanta-

sufficient to be any great advantage.

A PERFECT DAY.

When you come to the end of a per-
feet day,
And you sit alone with your
thought
While the chimes ring out with a
carol gay
For the joy that the day has
brought
Do you think what the end of a per-
feet day
Can mean to tired heart,
When the sun goes down with fam
ing ray
And the dear friends have to part i?
Well, this is the end of perfect day,
Near the end of a journey, too;
But it leaves a thought that is big
and strong,
With a wish that is kind and true;
For mem'ry has painted this perfect
day
With colors that never fade,
And we find, at the end of perfect
day,
The soul Of friend we've made.
