Both Kid Shelter. OF Frederick, and
Silent Howard. Of Akron. returned their
signed contracts for their 1fteen-roUnd
battle TO be staged as the main set7to at
the show Of the Maryland Athletic and
Social Club. at Ardmore, Nd. on George
Washington's Birthday.
The articles call for the fighters to
weigh I'm at l5s pounds at II O'Clock on
the day OF the fight. Shelter can easily
make this middle-weight limit while
Howard has at no time during the past
found any difficulty in eating down 70
the Gibbons poundage."
With the returned contracts came a
certified check for 800 from both bat
Tiers, agreeing 10 make the weight LIMIT
and to fight under the rules Of the Mary
land club. No referee was named in
the articles, but President La Fontain, is
confident that both battlers will agree on
p. F. O'Connor. the official referee Of the
club.
No definite arrangements were made
yesterday on the preliminaries and semi

PLAYERS FRATERNITY
DEAD AS FEDERALS
Death Knell of Frat Sounded When
Fultz Sacrificed Principles.

New York. Feb. l5.-With the Amer
lean League ready to abrogate its
agreement with the Players Fratern-
ity at the schedule meeting here to-
day. and the releasing Of the ball
players from their fraternity pledges,
the death knell Of the players organi-
zation has been sounded
Dave Fultz. II is believed, will re-
sign as president of the fraternity,
for without the recognition Of the
major leagues the purpose Of the fra
ternity, which was organized to han
die controversies between players and
clubs, is blocked.
FNultz sacrificed the principles for
which he has fought in order TO re-
lease some fifty ball players Of major
league standing from their pledges,
and the sacrifice is also a personal
one, for his position as president of
the organization brought him an an
nual salary OF $4,000.
The truth about the inability OF the
fraternity TO win its fight lies in the
fact that the ball players did not
hang together" Had the 1000 odd
members Of the organization stuck 70
their pledges the strike would still
be hanging over the heads OF the
magnates.

COMMISSION APPROVES
/ SEvERING RELATIONS
Refuses Application from Three Class
AA Leagues on Lifting Draft Ruling.

New York, Feb. 15.-Severance of rela-
tions betweep the Baseball Players Fra
ternity and the American and National
League club owners, meets with the ful-
lest approval of the members of tbc Ma
tional Commission In session here to-
day the commission passed resolutions
approving the acts of the two major
leagues in severing relations and abro-
eating their agreement with the frater-
nifty.
Applications from the three Glass "A
leagues for the lifting of the draft privi-
iege was refused by the commission be-
cause President Al Baum. of the Pacific
Coast League. objected to H. Baum main
tained that without the draft Class IA
players would feel themselves on The
same plane as major league players and
would make large demands
y The commission, however, agreed that
there should be no immediate delivery
drafts and that in drawing the name Of
the club from which a player was to be
drafted would be disclosed first and the
name OF the player not made public until
the deal Is, completed. The commission
also refused to increase the draft price.
President Barrows. of the International
League. asked that drafts be confined TO
once every two years. but the commits
sion ruled In favor of the yearly draft
ing.
Requests for a board of arbitration
from minor leagues to sit in contro-
versies with the major leagues was turn
ed down by the commission, but provis-
ions were made for a board TO consist
OF the owners Of the teams In contro-
Nersy 10 sit with members of the ha-
tional Commission.
The commission passed recommenda-
tions 10 the minor leagues that they re-
district their territories. This would be
in the interests of more compact circuits
with less competition for the teams.

O'SULLIVAN FALLS OUT
WITH LES DARCY

New York, Feb. 15.-Les Darcy and Tim
OSullivan, who risked Imprisonment to
come to this country with the Maitland
boy as stowaway, have reached the
parting OF the ways, and Darcy has de-
cided to manage his own business af-
fairs or else engage an American for the
job.
Darcy and his companion split shortly
after the young pugilist arrived from Chi
cago, few days ago, where he had been
appearing with burlesque troupe.
Darcy's action came as a great surprise
In pugilistic circles in view OF O'Sulh-
vans success in obtaining a record break
ing purse Of $4,000 for Darcy to meet Al
Mccoy, third rater, in Madison Square
Garden on March 5.
The break between them was occasion
ed when O'Sullivan demanded Is per
cent Of Darcy's ring earnings. According
to O'Sullivan. the boxer promised on the
voyage from the Antipodes that he would
give him SO 1-3 per cent of his profits, in
view of the fact that O'Sullivan engineer
ed the trip and that they had long been
friends in Australia.

DOUBLE-HEADER
IN SCHOLASTIC LEAGUE

Tech and Eastern basketball teams
will toss for honors in the Y. NJ. C. A.
gymnasium, in the first games of a
double bill, while the Western FIVE will
face the Central tossers. in the seconc
attraction Of the high school series to-
day.
With Tech having a good hold on the
high school title, it Is figured that the
Capitol Hill lads, will not prove a hard
task for the league leaders, although
the Light Blue and White team, sprang
a surprise on Tech and held them to a
l6-to-s score in the engagement between
these two teams.
Who will be the victor in the game
between the Central and Western basket
ers, will be hard to say, but the defeat
handed the Central five last Tuesday by
the Business quint was somewhat OF a
setback.
Time for the start of the first game
will be 2:45 o'clock
