PLAYERS FRATERNITY
INSISTENT IN DEMANDS
DECLARE THERE WILL BE NO
TRAINING CAMPS UNLESS The
President David |. Fultz Says Organ
lied Baseball is in for One
Great Surprise.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE Baseball
Players Fraternity, through its presi'
dent, David l.. Fultz, today threw
down the gauntlet TO organized base
ball and declared that unless the
magnates agreed 10 the requests o!
the fraternity there would be no need
OF training camps this spring.
As evidence OF the earnest intention
OF the fraternity TO fight for what II
terms its Just rights, the organization
announced that it had expelled Pitcher
Harry +. (Sim) Sallee from member
skip because he had signed Il contract
with the New York National League
club after he had promised that ne
would stand with the fraternity until
given the word that would permit OF
a contract acceptance.
President Fultz's statement in part,
is as follows:
For over two years we have,
through petition, argument and ap,
pcaIs to public sentiment and to the
ocard Of arbitration Of the National!
Association of Baseball Leagues
not sweeping reforms, but only those
ordinary considerations which are rec.
ognized to be the just portion Of the
PLAYERS, things which the national
commission long ago granted US on
behalf of the major leagues, and which
they have gone on record as APPROX
ing for the minors. In this We have
failed absolutely.
This board does not comprehend
these methods and has, in addition,
violated it's agreement with US. 1t is
now case of continuing to accept
breaches Of their contract and Of sub
hitting to unfair regulations, or talk
ing IN terms which the board under
stands. We believe it will under
stand this, that II it continues its pres.
ent methods, organized ball is in for
one of the greatest surprises it has
ever had in its existence"
President John K. Tener of the
National league, and one of the three
members of the national commission,
said tonight that he deplored the
threatened stand Of the Baseball Play
Fraternity insofar as it might
the National league, as there
absolutely no ground for what
I. be termed strike on the part
OF rers expected to play with the
sen organization next season.

The above IS the schedule of bas-
ket ball games TO be- played in the
Wheeling district tonight. 1t is by
far the most attractive that has been
presented this season. and should
prove of interest to the lovers OF the
sport in this vicinity.
The Wheeling High school girls. af-
ter several days of preparation, will
open the season with The Steubenville
High school girls team. While three
members OF the team Of last year are
back in the lineup for the 1917 sea
son, but little can be judged Of the per-
formanCe Of the new members or the
squad. They have had but little ex-
perience, but it Is confidently expected
that the efforts Of Coaches Gabler and
French will not 20 unrewarded. Misses
Dorothy Robinson, Hilda Hoehl and
Evelyn Ulrlch. members Of last years
team, Will start the game tonight,
along with Misses Martha Statler,
Katherine Klein, Angela Bachmann,
Adelaide Bachmann and Elizabeth
Monroe.
A double bill will feature the meet
ing of Llnsly and Philadelphia tonight,
The first and second teams Of the two
schools will play at the Park Casino,
and two interesting games are expect.
ed. Coach Holden last night was still
in doubt as to Linsly's probable line
up. Coach Stewart announced that
Smith, a member Of last years team,
would be back for the first time to-
night, materially Strengthening the
pike five.
Sistersville, on weekend trip, will
invade the Wheeling district tonight
for the first time this season, PLAYING
their first game with the Union High
school Of Benwood. Tomorrow hight
the Tyler county five will play the
Linsly Cadets.
Reports from East Liverpool are TO
the effect that when Bellaire meets
that team it will have to 60 the limit
if it succeeds in defeating the up-rlYer
team. That game, the only one that is
TO be played on the Ohio side, will no
doubt be the stellar attraction for fans
in the Buckeye State.
Wheeling High Plays Tomorrow.
The Wheeling High school boys team
and the Cathedral Cadets will be the
attraction for Saturday night. For tho
past several days both teams have
been getting into shape for the ARRAY,
and last night the coaches announced
that with members Of both fives in
good condition, Il good game could be
expected The second teams or the
two schools will play between halves.
