BIC STRIKE IS
 THREATENED IN
 BASEBALL WORLD
Players Make Demands and Unless They Are Granted Contracts
 Won't Be Signed.

Organized baseball throughout the United States is in turmoil following the action in New York last week of the Baseball Players Fraternity announcing that unless demands made by the players upon the Ma tional Baseball Commission arc granted. more than GOO baseball players will refuse to sign contracts for the 1917 season. Fans in every 1 corner of the country are watching with keen interest what promises Co be the biggest clash between |playcrs and magnatCs that ever has threatened the national pastimo.
 David l.. Fultz, president of the ! fraternity. is outspoken in his dec laratious that the players will stand by their demands and that unless ! the national commission yields a large number of big league training camps will be sparscly populated. ! Ban Johnson. president of the Am cricau League; John K. Tencr of the National. Edward Barrow of the ! International, and Carry Hermann, chairman of the national cOmmis- sion, unite in declaring that the ! players have no cause for grievance l and in insisting that there is no cause for alarm.
 The difficulty for the most part ! lies in complaints of minor league ball players against the terms and contracts offered them by the mag mates. It is understood that thcro is little dissatisfaction among the major league players. but, because l of their amIiation with the fraterni- { ty, which draws its membership l from players in major and minor ] leagues. the big league men are cN- pcctod to support the pastimcrs from ] Inc lesser circuits.

 As evidence of the earnest intent 1 of the fraternity to fight for what | ,t terms its just rights, the orgaui- ,ation announced it had expelled | Pitcher Harry F.

 "Sallce was a member of the fra tcrnity and voluntarily pledged him self with between 600 and 700 oth- ] or players not tO enter into con tract until he was instructed 10 do 1 30. after our requests to organized : baseball had received proper consid- aration," said President Fultz. As 20 consideration whatever has been given our requests to the board, and ! IS SaIlec acted in direct violation Of l his pledge, he was expelled from the l fraternity today. Sallcc now stands . discrcditcd among ball players as a . man who broke his word.
 'It has been reported that Ritter, Sandbcrg and Witterstaetter also have signed. Witterstaettcr has not signed and the report evidently was
 given out for the effect 1t would |hayc on other players. Ritter did
 not pledge himself to the fraternity and his case will be taken up later.
 Sandbcrg is not a member.

 For more than two years we

 and appeals to public sentiment and
 to the board of arbitration of the

 to get, not sweeping reforms, but
 only those ordinary considerations
 which are well recognized to be the
 just portion of the players, things
 which the national commission long ago granted us on behalf of the ma ior leagues, and which they have
 gone on record as approving for the
 minors. In this we have failed ab-

 This board does not comprehend
 these methods and has in addition
 violated it's agreement with us. lt
 is now a case of continuing to ac-

 of submitting to unfair regulations
