Gibbons has never fought any fairly

BALL STRIKE OFF - GIBBONS
AND DARCY MATCHED
BY Mark Shields

] he baseball strike IS on.
Thereby wishing many people to
the fact that it was ever on.
Dave FuItz, president of the Base
ball Players Fraternity, yesterday
officially declared matters off in New
York, at the same time saying the
baseball magnates had been put in
an unfair position. And President
Tener batted up to Fultz with the
statement that no discrimination
would be made against fraternity
members in signing contracts. Pres
ident Johnson of the American,
which meets in New York today, said
all players would look alike to his
circuit
As a matter of fact, very few play
ers have been Withholding contracts
because of the fraternity. They
have used that as an excuse, and also
as a club, but the real reason was
dissatisfaction with salaries.
Baseball hasn't recovered from the
Federal war yet and the players are
still beIligerent.
With the ban lifted by Fultz, few
players will sign Immediately. But
there will be no crush at various club
offices. Not until salaries are adj
jgsted.
Jim Vaughn of the Cubs wants
$1,000 for pitching this year, $4,000

Les Darcy and Mike Gibbons were
signed yesterday in New York to
fight ten rounds in Milwaukee April
10 for $4,000. There will be no de-
cisiOn, of course, and neither fighter
is Tisking anything.
The purse is to be split evenly,
