AMERICAN LEAGUE
APPROVES ACTION
AT Meeting Tomorrow Resolu-
ton Similar to That of Ma
tional Will Come Up

New York, Feb. IA. - Representa-
tives of the American League declared
to-day that their organization was in
accord with the abrogation by the
National League of the agreement
made with the Baseball Players Fra
ternity at Cincinnati. January 6, 1914,
and indicated that the American
League would take similar action at
its meeting tomorrow.
President David L. Fultz, of the
Players Fraternity, refused to COM
ment on this point, but pointed out
that the fraternity was not required
by the so-called Cincinnati agree
ment" to do more than call off the
threatened strike of 1914. He would
not state what action the fraternity
would take until he had consulted
other officers of the organization.
Commission to Act
President Tener, of the National
League said that the National Com
mission would take the same action
that the league had and that any
further requests or communications
from the fraternity would be ignored.
He explained, however, that no dis
elimination was to be made against
any player who might have been or
continued to be q member of the fra
ternity, but that all future dealings
would be with the players as indi-
viduals.
The rule will be strictly enforced,
he added, that no player who is not
under contract shall report at a train
ing camp unless he comes there to
sign.
