New York, Jan. lS.-ln retaliation
for the action of the players fraternity

sion to sign. Presidents John Tener OF

that hereafter their leagues will refuse

nounced here Wednesday night Pres
ident Johnson left Wednesday after
noon for Chicago.
1--WE could take no other ~action,
said President Tener. I'VE cannot
longer have dealings with an organiza-
ton which is guilty Of the rank inJus-
tice of the present action Of the frater-
nifty in attempting to interfere with,
hurt and ruin our business. Hereafter
the clubs will have to deal with their
players individually and we can no
longer deal with any outside body.
When he learned that the major
leagues considered their agreement
with the fraternity broken and would
no longer recognize it, President Fultz
Of the fraternity said:
They will be only too glad to rec
ognize lis after this case comes to
head. They had better give in now,
as the situation is growing more tense

FREDDIE WELSH is
UNPOPULAR CHAMP

lightweight champion. is an unpopular
party in Milwaukee today. He would
not fight himself nor allow Richie

disguised a crowd of 5000 which JAM

in the expectation Of seeing eyeat
combat. with a chance for the title to
change hands.
Welsh gave remarkable exhibition
of defense boxing and nothing else.
The crowd didn't get run for Its
money. However it is likely that
Welsh did the best he could. The
champion seems to be fading. 1t Is
doubtful il he has anything left be-
sides his defense. which has become
instructive by this time, and keen
brain to offer in the way Of ring as

condition were untrue. He had not
