BASEBALL STRIKE
CLOUDS IN SKY
With First Spring Training Date But
q Few Days or, Sky Has
Not Cleared
Up.
AFFAIRS ARE MUDDLED
American League VIII Not be Hit
Hard II Strike 10 Called, But
the National
May Be.

[By II. c. Hamilton, United Press
Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-With the
first spring training date for big
league clubs only slightly more than
score of days in the future, Dave
Fultz and his baseball players strike
have yet to be shown that they
aren't ready to give the National
league an awful jolt. They have adj
pited the American league will not
suffer to any great extent If the
walFout becomes reality.
Charges and counter charges have
lnuddied up the atmosphere to such
an extent that the real seriousness
CT the affair has not made itself felt.
Apparently the magnates are doing
all in their power to have the fact
known that out of all the ball players
expected to take part in the two flag
chases, not more than half, barring
recruits, can be counted on abso-
lutely to show up at the training
camps.
In the American league there are
two entire clubs-New York and
FhiladeIphia-which have very slight
representation with the players fra
ternity.
Cleveland, too, is not heavily In
yolved in the fraternity. Iris
Speaker is a member, but the fact
that he has a contract all signed pre-
c,udes possibility of his striking. In
the younger organization nearly every
star player is signed or is not q
member of the fraternity. Ty Cobb,
iris Speaker. Walter Johnson, Eddie
Collins, Ray Schalk and dozens OF
high class players will not be with
Fuitz in mis- battle except as roorers.
In the National league Jake Daubert
has the stage to himself in the mat
ter of stars who have signed. Tie
New York Giants, however, are par
ticularly free as a club from frater-
nifty members. Charley Herzog,
Benny Kauff and many others have
signed or are not members. The up
shot of the thing appears to be
runaway affair for the Giants in case
the strike goes through. The entire
first line defense of the Brooklyn
club is on the outs with Charley
Ebbets over the salary question and
the chances are that even If Fultz
does not pull off his coup the eleven
Dodgers who had tucks taken In
their salary checks will put crimp
in renewal plans Of Wilbert Robin
son.
