BOB -THAYER'S GOSSIP
". ON SPORTING MATTERS

Now that Dave Fultz has raised the
embargo on signed contracts and ru.
nlors are rife that he will resign from
the leadership OF the Baseball Play
srs' Fraternity, IL it doesn't go TO
smash altogether, many are explain
ing just why he failed.
summing up the various reasons Of
fered by prominent players who were
members OF the fraternity, IL might
be said that Fultz failed because he
didn't mix enough With either players
or magnates: that he was a stickler
for trifies, and that he showed poor
Judgment in announcing his strike.
Fultz was a player himself. and,
yet living in the same town with John
h. Tener, an old player, he visited
the head of the National League but
once. He lost many opportunities to
make friends for himself. and through
him for the fraternity among the mag
mates.
Having a trained legal mind, he was
ever searching for flaws in all the
doings of the diamond. In the mind
OF the public FultZ soon assumed the
character of a scold.
As Mike Donlin expresses it. "Ice
cutters might as well call a strike in
July as for ball players to call one I'm
the winter" Fultz gave fraternity
members too much time to think over
the approaching strike. Surrounded
by relatives and friends, II is small
wonder that they weakened.
