partments foresight has been the rule, and
the work which the two medical corps have
been accomplished in itself makes a re-
rkable> story of achievement.
Besides this work Of keeping general
oversight over all branches Of the public
medical service, the committee has con
ccrned itself deeply with The problems Of
personnel and supplies. The personnel
problem has not been solved. but il il pos
sible to say that the section has been OF
great service in putting the government dc
partments in touch with the kind Of men
they need, and we are working continually
through personal contact and extensive
correspondence on filling the ranks to the
point needed to take care of the new army.
To take advantage of carefully laid plans
we must have in their administrators only
physicians with the vision and the profess
sional training needed to carry them out,
both for active service at the front and in
the concentration camps back at the rear.
The medical service must be filled with
men OF the broadest gauge, of the stan

"The supply problem, which j. cared for
by DIR. Simpson, who sits IN with the Gen

source of difficulty in which the Medical

FULTZ MAY BE !. D.
Huncrs About National Capital In- dicate That Labor Federation Will Deny Charter to Fraternity.

Washington, Jan. 25.-Considera- ton of the application Of the Base ball Players Fraternity for a charter in the American Federation of Labor was taken up yesterday by the executive council of the American Federation. President Fultz of the fraternity was in Washington last Saturday and Mon- day presenting arguments why the fraternity should be granted such a charter.
 It has been reported that the fra ternity's request already has been turned down, the argument being that the ball players did not consider utilization with the federation until they became involved in a life and death struggle with organized base ball. However, high federation officials today deny that any decision has been reached. They say the coun- cil decision will not be announced un- til the conclusion of it's meeting today.
 The inference drawn, however, from remarks of la hor heads is that the fra ternity would speedily be granted 8 charter were conditions settled in baseball. but that objection is being felt in some circles to using the power of organized labor as a club with which to force the issue between the players and the club owners.
 Whether organized baseball is ad- vancing any arguments to offset those brought to Washington by FuItz local labor leaders would not say.

FARRELL REPLIES
 TO FULTz'S REMARKS
Minor Leagues Secretary Denies
 Statements in Crystal Case

New York, Jan. 25.-John Fl. Far rell of Auburn, N. Y., secretary of the National Association, and around whom the threatened baseball strike is centered, broke his silence on the subject of the Players Fraternity yesterday, and came out with a repu- diation of the statements of President David l.. Fultz in regard to the case of Manager Crystal of St. Thomas Canada. This Is the first utterance on the part of Farrell since the fra ternity decided to go out on strike.
 Secretary Farrell states that in many or the minor league cases the National Board carries on it's dealings directly with the player and not with F'ultz as the head of the fraternity
 This Is where the shoe pinches in all these cases" says Farrell. Presi- dent E. G. Barrow of the Interna- tlonal League, who is a member of the National Board, said yesterday that 1t was because Secretary Far rell negotiated with the players them selves, instead of through the fra tern1ty, that Fultz was so vehement in his protests against the associa- tion's secretary.
 Farrell calls Fultz's efforts in be- half of the players, "school boy, Fourth of July oratory." His state ments," says Farrell, "are garbled, re- gardless of the frequent, meaningless flights of school boy oratory about such conditions as the Crystal case being tolerated in free land"
 President Fultz yesterday again de- nied that he had received any 1nfor- nation concerning the rumored rejec- tion of the fraternity's application for membership in the American Fedora ton of Labor, which is now before the executive council of the organixation in Washington, D. c. It Is the i'm pression among the club owners that the fraternity has been turned down.
 The fraternity leader stated that the players of the American Associa- ton had again pledged their loyalty to the organization. He said:
 Out of approximately 125 players who finished the 1916 season on seven clubs in the American association. eighty-five of them have, within the last four weeks pledged their loyalty to the fraternity.
 The latest Brooklyn player to send back his contract unsigned is Gus Getz, the Dodgers utility infelder ,, Gets refuses to accept the contract terms which call for a reduction in his last seasons salary. It was also rumored yesterday that Zach Wheat who is a Brooklyn holdout, may de. eide not to play ball any more Wheat is now managing his ranch al Polo, Mo. There are six holdouts or the Brooklyn team. They are Wheat Stengel, Hi Myers, Chief Meyers, Mil Ter and Getz

Edging Back?

By a queer freak of fate last season all of Connie Mack's old stars-Collins, Baker and McInnis-suffered undue slumps. Baker dropped below .2SO. McInnis fell below 300. Collins skid ded back a healthy number of points from his usual high average As none of these is yet decrepit veteran. the chances are that the 1916 slump was merely coincidence, one of those things of which the game is full
 But since there is always the chance that even a star may have reached the peak to begin pointing downhill. it will be interesting to watch the batting of this trio through the year ahead. Baker especially, will come in for close observation, as John Franklin, of Trappe, while retaining the power of his punch in long-distance way. fell away further than the other two so far as the complete averages went. Bakers return around his old mark of 33O would do the blessed Tanks a world of good.

DISAPPROVES SYSTEM
Joe Wright of Penn Sides With Court ney in College Racing Controversy Thinks Three Miles Enough.

Philadelphia, Jan. 25.-Joe Wright, coach of the Pennsylvania crews, has joined hands with Charles Courtney of Cornell, dean of college rowing coaches, in advocating the dropping of the fourth mile from the annual race at Poughkeepsie this June. Wright, who recently started work with the Penn oarsmen, advances substantially the same ideas as the Cornell instructor. Wright said yes- terday:
 1T believe, due to my active partici- patton in the game, that college oars men are better fitted to participate in a race of three miles than one of four miles. The men in the majority of college eights do not have the ex- perience and length of time at the sport to make them equal to such long grind.
 of course I and the other coaches work the men up to the four mile spin, but don't think that they show the best results. If, as I hope, mile is dropped from the race on the Hud- son then the men will be able to stand the strain better and be in bet ter shape than in a race of four miles.
 Three miles is just about the proper distance to test the work of an eight in endurance, skill and unison."

GET READY, HARTFORD
Supernumary Police Formulating Plans for 1917 Baseball Season Four Cities in Proposed League.

With four cities already assured for the circuit and plans we'll past the tentative stage the Central Connecti- cut Policemen's Baseball league only lacks actual organization to become 8 reality. Plans have quietly neared completion since last fall with Chair man Edward G. Babcock of the safety board playing 8 prominent part in them. Heartily approving of healthy recreation of this type for police and fire departments of all cities, he has given of his time to approach officials of other departments. The idea has been received with approval from the Waterbury, Meriden and Hartford de- partments. A meeting will be held in the near future to make arrangements for organization a schedule, trophies etc.
 Whether the circuit will be enlarged is not known. Some are known to favor two leagues in the state, one as already assured and another to in clude the cities of the southern and southwestern parts of the state, New Haven, Bridgeport, Norwalk and Stam- ford. The plan would be to have the champions of each league meet in one or series of games.
 At a meeting this week of local policemen interested Supernumerary Policeman Edward B. Kerin Was elected manager of the New Britain department team and Supernumerary Policeman William Souney was select ed as captain. They have already be- gun to perfect their plans. Accord ing to present plans, practice and time as regular league games.

FASANE LOSES.
Charley Pitts Is Victor in Fast Twen-
 ty Round Battle.

New Haven, Jan. 25-Charley Pitts, the sensational Bridgeport light weight was awarded referees deci- sion over the ever-willing Jimmy Fla sane of Waterbury, at the end of fast 20-round bout at the Royal A. C., George street, last nigth. Both boys waged a furious battle from start to finish, there being little to choose be- tween the two until the later stages of the bout when the Bridgeporter came to the front and packed up a comfortable lead on points. Neither boy let up in his work in any of the rounds, both being content at tearing in and doing his bit to make the go worth while. Fasane waged an al- most incessant attack on Pitts body while the Bridgeporter scored most of his points at long range. For ten rounds the boys battled fairly even but Pitts was entitled to whatever honors that were forthcoming in the majority of the rounds in the final half. Fasane, despite tpe fact that he lost the decision, fought an accept able battle and made many friends by his willingness to mix 1t whenever op- portunity presented itself.
 Jerome Hennessey, who was sched- uled to box Tommy Shea in the semi windup of eight rounds, failed to put in an appearance and Frank Brindlsi vas substituted. Brindisi handed Shea a neat little surprise package and at the end of the mill Shea had to be satisfied with a draw verdict i3rindisi showed any previous effort and gave the elusive Shea a terrific battle from gong to gong.

Captain JoilHson's Scxtette Again Forced to Drink From the Cup of Dcfcat-Suburban BoWlel.s Battle.

Some of the best games in the Johnson-Wright bowling argument, were staged at the Aetna alleys last evening, and as a result the outcome was in accord with the results of the past conflicts, Captain Wright's team being the victor. The close attention paid the lane game by the female members of the seXtettes, has made them very proficient, and it is the consensus of opinion that a team can be selected that will show Bill Bren- necke's 'Matrimony Duckers,' q few tricks in the game

The Annual Call of tue Fan.

The Annual Call of the Fan. Where the stench is on the landscape As the winter session grows; Where the garbage cart is waiting As the driver holds his nose; Where they yelp aloud for lawyers Or they scramble for the dough, Give us back the breath of April And the game we used to know. Give us back the breath of April Where the wallop leaves the stick; Where the pop is on the gurgle And the peanut hulls are thick; Where a Collins, Cobb or Speaker Takes an inshoot for a ride And the echoes leap to meet hlm With "slide-you bone-head-
 s-l-i-d-e-"
 Give us back the breath of April And the glory of the game; Give us back the crashing double And the f1elder's sprint for fame; Where the fumigating's over And the smear has reached its close, And it isn't necessary
 For guy to hold his nose.
 It is generally agreed that Team Play is big part Of success in any game. No nation has proved this more than the old U. s. A. Here in baseball and football team play has been one of the main slogans and one of the best developed traits. The queer part of it is that the nation, proved this. has applied it to little else but sport. Apparently. it has never occurred to Capital and Labor, save in sparsely scattered in stances, that team play produces the score. tt
