CRAWFORD FAVORED
 TO REPLACE FULTz
Letters Are Written to Players
 Requesting Change in Fraternity

New York. Nov. 26.-A reorganiza- tion of the Baseball Players Frater- nifty under a head favorable to the leading powers of baseball IS a strong proba bility before the present winter is over The reorganization Is likely to come through propaganda 1ostered, if not originated, by certain club owners.
 To show how far this move, which aims to displace Dave Fultz, has gone, it need only be said that slipping star has recently been writing letters to various players who formerly took a big interest in fraternity matters. 1 The letter asks when the club held it's last fraternity meeting, what interest the club feels in the fraternity and 1 suggests that a. 'big man can De or tained to take Fultz's place as the fra ternitv executive. It contains a yelled l attack on Fultz and makes a plea to | the players to accept a general reduc- l tion in salary in view of the present 1 baseball conditions.
 1 It is no secret among big league ball players that they lost faith in ! Fultz after his strike fasco of last l winter. At the time it was believed that the players fraternity had died, but 1t retained bit of life and flick cred through last season. According to certain players anxious to build up the fraternity again, there is no hope 1 of reconciliation with the powers in baseball so long as Fultz remains a ! factor in the organization. This i doubtless is a fact, as the bitterness on the part of the owners last winter was directed more against Fultz thar 1 against the fraternity.
 Contract Up This Year.
 Fultzs three-year contract as pres ident of the fraternity will expire thi year. and it is doubtful if he woult care to retain the office under presen conditions.
 It might be added that the name o Sam Crawford is again coming up a a possible successor to Fultz. It ma be recalled that Ban Johnson ono mentioned Sam as a man who Woul be favorable to him as a fraternit ! head and might even be willing t grant him a seat on the Nations 1 commission
 Players who are in favor of a ne executive in the fraternity point oU there would be no use in re-electin Fultz or any other man unfaVorable the commission. They hope to re

VIBBERTS IS CAPTAIN

Clever Halfback is Selected to Lead
 High School Football Eleven Next
 SeasOn-Much Praise for Coach
 Bearce.
 Charles Vibberts, one of the most popular members of the 1917 New Britain High school football eleven, was chosen captain of next years team at the conclusion of the New Haven game Saturday afternoon. Captain-elect Vibberts has been member of the football squad but one season. but in that time he has dis played excellent gridiron knowledge, and under his leadership, the 1918 team should be successful. He was out in 1916 but retired with bad knee,
 Captain Vibberts played in the Hartford game, until forced to retire on account of an injury to his knee, and his absence in that important contest was keenly felt. He is un- occasionally one of the best punters developed at the school in several sea- sons, and with the experience gained this season, should prove valuable next season. Captain Vibberts will have many of this years team back again. Burns, Faulkner, Waters Za- patka, Hagearty, Ashley, forming the nucleus for an exceptionally clever eleven. Much credit for the excellent showing of the team this season is due to the untiring efforts of Coach Bearce. Coming here a stranger, the coach endeared himself with the boys. who were quick to grasp his teach ings, and in turning out an eleven that battled to a tie for the Inter- scholastic championship, Coacb Bearce placed himself on par with Evan Davis, the peer of coaches at the local High school.
 To many of the followers of the team, it appeared as if the locals , played a far superior game against New Haven than that against Hart ford, and there is a feeling at the school, that the locals would be able { to Vanquish their Capitol city rivals , if a return game was arranged.

store the fraternity to power, but aim to work with organized baseball rather than against it.
 The players would hope to get recognition of such a reorganized fra ternity through President Tener, of the National league, himself formerly a player, who has often spoken of how a properly organized fraternity might be of great benefit to baseball
 Bewails Calamity Howls.
 Give baseball rest from the calamity howlers,'' said President Baker of the Phillies, yesterday. What is the use of going around looking for trouble? Persons who are doing all this squealing now certainly are not helping things.
 There is only one thing to do. Use a little common sense and prepare for war conditions by reasonable economy. I estimate operating expenses, with increased railroad fares and hotel rates, will be 10 per cent. higher next season. There are several ways to meet that. First, cut down to a war playing limit, and then, instead of lug ging a lot of players around the coun- try that you won't use, take along fifteen or sixteen. If you need one you can get him anywhere on the cir cult within twenty-four hours.
 Let Us stop talking calamity and open the season. After that we car sec how the land lies. I for one dc not think things are as bad as painted Let's stop this winter squealing anc calamity howling."
 All of which seems to be very goOt advice. Furthermore, let magnate stop offering suggestions on drat l regulations.
