TO
PARTING
OF WAYS
The National League Breaks
With Players Fraternity
Abrogates Agreement
DEAL WITH PLAYERS ONLY
League Will Not Discrim-
mate Against Members
as Individuals
(By Associated Press.)

New York, Feb. 1.-THE National
league and the Baseball Players fra
ternity came to the parting of the
ways here late yesterday while Man
ager John ]. McGraw, of the New
York National league club, and Presi-
dent David l.. F'ultz, of the Players
association, were in secret conference
endeavoring to reach q common
ground upon which the called strike Of
the players would be compromised.
The senior organization passed unani-
mously a resolution abrogating the
agreement made with the fraternity at
Cincinnati Jan. 6. 1914, and when Nc
first appeared as If his self-imposed
mission had been In vain.
Later when President Tener, of the
National league, read the resolution
to the newspaper representatives, he
explained that no discrimination was
to be made against any player who
might have been or continued to be
member of the fraternity, but the
league would no longer recognize the
Organization, but all future dealings
would be with the players as individ-
uals AS this was the principal request
made by F'ultz in his conference with
McGraw, as a guarantee before taking
steps looking toward the lifting of
the strige order, insofar as it affected
the major leagues, it appeared that his
request had received consideration.
Realize Seriousness.
That the magnates realized the
seriousness Of the situation that faces
baseball, both from internal and in
ternational complications, was shown
by the fact that the baseball writers
were called into the meeting of the
league for one Of the very few times
in the forty odd years OF its existence,
and the following resolution was
read, after which the magnates stat
ed that they were ready to answer
any questions which might be asked:
''Whereas, the Ball Players fra
ternityt has violated the letter and
spirit Of an agreement made between
National agreement leagues, CLUBS
and players entered into of date Jan,
Is, 1914, therefore, be it
Resolved by the National league or
Professional Baseball clubs. that in
solar as that league is concerned,
this agreement be and is hereby aoro-
gated, and all relations between this
league and said fraternity are hereby
severed and terminated"
Refused to Comment.
When the resolution was shown to
Fultz he refused to comment until
he had consulted other officers of the
organization. Before he left McGraw
arrangements were made to meet
again. when Fultz hoped to go before
the National league, but the action of
that organization virtually barred the
way for such a move.
McGraw returned Immediately to
the National league conference quar-
tiers. and explained what he accomp-
lished to President Hampstead, of
the New York club. who in turn laid
the result of his managers EFFORTS
before the magnates, but what effect,
If any, the report had was not dis
closed.

SOMETHING NEW AWAITING AHEAD

Just think, next Monday will be the last day that man will be permitted to make fool of himself about Ketchikan. The day after, every person will have to walk the chalk mark. Heretofore, drunk staggering on the streets has always been a subject of disgust. They were so common. From Tuesday on, they'll be subjects of curiosity They'll be so scarece and with the law camping right on their trail. Hully gee! what a change all in that one step; that is to say, from being permitted to make fools of ourselves to being restricted. The shock to our system may prove severe, but y.c must hope to survive It is all for our own good. We never knew when we had enough; and our ex-delegate who has alwav3 been so fatherly to us had to put stop to that nonsense, and we reach 1918 shorn cf a much abused privilege. But we have nobody to blame but ourselves.
 It is true that the United States has never been very strong on standing armies. But fight ing armies are different and the United States will show the Boches the difference pretty quick now.

PFNCE NOW IMPOSSIBLE

There is no denying that the tentative peace proposals made at the dctation of the Kaiser, had had a soothing effect ma large number of l people throughout the world; and in way mas increased the hope that the world shall soon be 1t peace again.
 These proposals, if nothing else, show a ten- dency on the part of the Kaiser to listen to reas- lon, which may be said to be great improve |ment oyer his previous proposals As matter |of fact we think we can see a burning desire to let go.
 Personally, we don't believe in making peace how To be brutally frank, we don't believe that peace will come before the entire German armies | have been annihlated. from the Kaiser down.

 Japan owns the railroad through Manchuria to Harbin, and it is said that large armies may be transported in short time should the neces- sity require. Japan has gone too far in favor of the Allies to retrace her step She must stand firm in order to save herself for should the Central Powers prove victorious, Japan would be next prey for the Germans. The situation at present seems to be that China and Japan have decided to attend to Russia while the Allies at tend to the Central Powers, thus preventing Germany from receiving whatever help she may have expected from that quarter, which is bound to make great deal of difference in the near future.
