Fultz Attempts
To Show Baseball
Is Monopolistic

Philadelphia, June 12.-The second
DAVIS trial Of the suit Of the Baltimore
baseball club Of the defunct Federal
League against organized baseball 10
recover 100000 damages under the
provisions of the antitrust laws began
in the United States District Court
with David l.. Fultz. president OF the
Baseball Players Fraternity, on the
stand. Fultz's testimony in support OF
the Baltimore clubs contention that or
gsnized baseball is monopolistic was to
the effect that the National Baseball
Commission, included among the de-
PENDANTS in the suit, had attempted 70
induce him to expel from the Players
Fraternity all players who went to the
Federal League from either Of the ma
jor leagues.
Fultz testified that the subject Of
blacklisting players was preached to
him in Cincinnati by August Hermann,
chairman OF the National Commission,
but that he had told him the Players
Fraternity could not enter into such an
agreement.
Stuart S. Janney. chief counsel for
the complainants, sought further to
show that efforts had been made to de-
liberately crush the Federal League and
stihe competition in baseball through
Joseph villa, a sporting writer, OF New
York. Villa identified a published inter
view in March. 1914, with Ban Johnson,
president of the American League, one
of the defendants, in which he was
quoted as saying there would be no
peace agreement with the Federal
League until the league had been exter-
minated

Fordham Student
Defeats Bassford
In Tennis Singles

Only three matches were played in
the singles on the turf courts of the
Country Club Of Westchester yestcr-
dog and one exhibition doubles match
for the benefit Of the Red Cross fund
IN the latter event Frederick y. Alex!
ander and Harold A. Throckmorton de-
fcated Karl Behr and Robert lie Roy
By score of Ga, 50, 6-3.
Elliott Binzen, national indoor junior
champion, played cleverly in defeating
Abraham Bassford, jr., in the first
round of the singles. The Fordham Uni
vcrsity student caught Bassford out OF
position many times b. suddenly
scftening his stroke and dropping the
ball just over the net, with his oppo-
nent on the baseline.
In the doubles match it was the
brilliance OF Throckmorton that dis
tirguished the play. The national in
tcrscholastic champion smashed with
great power, and also earned many
points with his block volleys. Alexan-
der was probably second in effective
ness, his low volleying being brilliant
ia the extreme. Behr. with all OF his
old fire. but lacking somewhat in con-
troll, was always an interesting figure
on the court, while lie Roy did great
execution with his deep drives. and
was the steadying influence on his side
OF the net.

Order Bonhag to
Return Prize Won
In N. Y.A.C. Games

George V. Bonhag, the one time dis
lance champion. was ordered to return
the first prize ne won in the one-mile
walk at the recent New York Athletic
Club games by an order Of the regis
tration committee Of the Metropolitan
Association, which met last night. Bon
bag represented the Winged Foot club
when he registered as an unattached
athlete with the local association. II
was in this contest that Bonhag. max
ing his return 10 the cinderpath after
n fve-year retirement. covered the dis
lance in the record time of 6:2s 80.
George ?. Matthews, chairman OF the
committee, did not vote on the matter,
but three Of the four other members
of the body voted to punish Bonhag.
Villar Kyronen and J. F. Hackman,
Of the Kaleva Athletic Club, were both
on the stand, relative TO the supposed
frame up" of the Bronx to City Hall
race in 1916, in which Kyronen nosed
out Hans Kolehmainen. Kyronen tes-
tilted that there was no truth to the
stories. However, kyroncn did declare
that Kolehmainen asked him to slow
UP a little during the last mile Of the
journey, and to make the fight for first
prize n short finishing sprint. The
committee apparently was satisfied, and
dismissed the charge.
Several suspensions were meted out
to athletes. Hugh Honohan, of the New
York Athletic Club, was suspended for
thirty days for wearing the number Of
clubmate in a race. similar fate
befell Maynard Trippe. of ST. Johns
Prep. and Thomas Tully. Of st. Bene-
diets Prep, for not recording their cor
rect performances on entry blanks.

The Dufer Remarks

They say that life in the trench Is rough
But life IN the bunker's worse;
The one is bloody and ran and tough,
But the Others a Hring N<rse;
It's no fun battling hand to hand
IN the shell holes deep NTH mud,
But It's no fun swctering IN the sand
While the soul is running blood.
Life in the trench is fearful thing
Where the shrapnel echoes sweH
Where the big bombs break and the bullets sing
BIT the bunker's a hiring he'll:
TO see your score mount stroke BY stroke,
Where the deep pit kills your mirth
To whalc alcay till your back IS broke
fs the toughest life on earth.
There are times enuy the man who ,0dtts
With rife in his fists;
Who stands and shoots and detes the fdtes
As he plugs at German tyst;
But as uc swing in the bunkered lea,
This is the song ne sing:
20 Craze, Where is thy rictory-
Death, 1yhere is thy sting?"

Russell was a trife erratic, but man
aged to hold the Sox safe until the
sixth. Then, after tanning two of the
pale hosed invaders. he began 20 go
bit bad. Schalk, Cicotte and Leibold
singled in turn, with the result that
one run was forced through. With
jinx in the box, it looked tough for the
Yankees.
Slim Love went in for the Yankees
in the eighth, Russell having been
yanked 10 make room for Caldwell as
pinch hitter in the seventh. Counting
his work yesterday. Love has now
pitched twenty-nine innings this sea-
son without having permitted run 70
score. The attenuated left-hander has
come pretty near TO earning place on
the regular pitching staff. Love worked
with wonderful stesdiness yesterday.
and he got none the best OF 1t IN the
matter OF strikes and balls.
There was fight in the air all through
the game. The umpires-there were
three again, count en-. three-fre-
auently were forced TO intervene when
the repartee that passed between the
two dugouts got unusually acrimoni-
Gus. Kid Gleason and Wild william
Donovan exchanged number or more
or less pointed compliments.
One OF the mysteries OF the game
was where Cicotte hides the shoe
blacking. He must have had some
thing OF the sort concealed upon his
person 20 get new bsseballs black AZ
quickly as ne did yesterday. But ths,
is nothing in the young lives OF the
Yankees nov. They seem to have G.
