Reports From Teams Indicate
Loyalty in American League;
Doyle on List

Chicago, Jan. 2S. - THE backbone

This was the parting shot of Dave
Fultz, president of the Baseball Play

propaganda is being fostered by Fultz

President Dun, of the Cleveland
Indians, was an American League
magnate who brought in an optimistic
report. He said to-day:

signed contracts to play for Cleveland

who has not come to terms is Bobby

-Four of his regulars, including Walter
Johnson, were already under contract,
"Griff' said, and he anticipated little

optimistic over the chances of start

the American League playing their
regulars, even if a strike was called
on EGDruArV Dn fhrenfann1 q
refused to take the strike seriously.
White SoX players have lined up al
most unanimously in favor of their
club, as opposed to the Fraternity, and
the st. Louis team also seemed strong
for its club.
President Johnson exhibited a COM
munication from Samuel Gompers, of
the American Federation of Labor, in
which he asserted a walkout of the

the American Red Cross The state board of health has begun a sanitary survey of each town, that possible disease epidemics might be prevented.
 Food stations were established to- day and owners of motor cars were pressed into service delivering to pub lie buildings, institutions and private homes serving as temporary shelters for the stricken.
 So fas as was known today the tor nado took 91 lives and resulted in in- jnries to about 600 persons in Coles county.
 Available estimates placed the prop erty damage in the county at between g. .5oo,OoO and ss,o0O, 00O of which s1,- 2o0 600 was in Mattoon and about $780, 900 in Charleston.
 Of the injured only about a score were in a dangerous condition today, according to the physicians.
 Both in Charleston and Mattoon the storm centered largely on the homes of workingmen, and among the 500t homeless were hundreds who lost everything in the ruins.
 The food problem became acute in both Mattoon and Charleston yester- hay, when thousands of sight-seers from neighboring villages thronged the towns. In Mattoon the emergency committee ordered restaurants and hotels to cease serving meals to all except residents and relief workers Today, however, with the departure of most of the uninvited guests the embargo was lifted and it was assert ed that enough provisions were on hand to last for several days
 Members of the five companies of the Fourth infantry, I. N. G., are pa- trolling the two towns.
