BALL PLAYERS NOT
TO GO ON A STRIKE
Ending of Long Controversy
ASSURED When Fultz Issues
Pacific Statement.
HE CoNFERS WITH M'GRAW

New York, Feb. l4.-There will be
no strike of base bali players this
year This ending of long contro-
versy was assured when President
David Fultz of the base ball players
fraternity issued the following state
ment there today.
Owing to the unfair position in
which the major league owners have
been placed in the present base ball
controversy between owners and
players, the fraternity has submitted
to the owners the following proposal:
ITO release all players from their
pledges not to sign contracts upon
the understanding the owners will not
discriminate against fraternity play
ers nor discipline them for their 10y
atty to the fraternity in observing
their pledges" -r..
Hold Conference.
Early in the day Manager McGraw
of the New York Nationals and Presi-
dent Fultz held conference at
which the fraternity executive said
that if he was assured that the mem
bers of the players would not be dis
eliminated against financially or 9TH
erwise by the major league owners,
he would release the men from their
pledges.
McGraw Immediately went to see
President Tener of the National
league and after the situation had
been explained Tener said:
"You can assure Mr.. Fultz that |
give my word of honor, as the presi-
dent OF the National league that the
National league will not discriminate
in way against any ball player be-
cause of his connection with the
fraternity
Strike is Of.
Upon receiving this statement from
President Tener, McGraw declared to
several newspaper representatives: Il
fell perfectly justified in announcing
that to all intents and purposes, the
strike is off insofar as it affects the
National league"
When President Johnson of the
American league arrived here late in
the day to attend the annual schedule,
meeting of the league tomorrow, he
was informed of the action taken by
President Tener and in reply to a
query as to whether he would give
similar assurance, he said:
so far as the fraternity is con-
cerned we give no assurances. All
our players look alike to us. About
IS per cent of them have signed 1917
contracts and if the men come along
to their training quarters, well and
good. That is all the assurance that
the American league will give"
Chairman Hermann of the Ma
tional commission stated that there
was &C lause in all the major league
contracts for 1917 which protected the
players from discrimination on &C
count of membership in the fraternity
and both of the major league presi-
dents also called attention to this fact.

Cannot Be Rubbed
Away With Liniments

You who are afflicted with
this most painful disease--who
know from experience just
how excruciating its pangs
are--get this fact fixed firmly
in your mind, and it will aid
you in finding a way to a COM
plete recovery. Rheumatism
cannot be rubbed away with
lin;ments--its pains and pangs
cannot be wiped out as If by
magic. A disease that is so full
of torture and finally renders
its victims so helpless, is a
deep-seated one; it is not on
the surface, hence it cannot be
reached by external, surface
remedies. This is no theory, for
your own experience doubt
less has shown you that you
can never expect to rid your
self of the disease in this way.
For the chances are that
you, like thousands Of other
sufferers, have been misled in
to the hope that liniments, To-
tons and other applications
would cure your rheumatism.
But what has been your ex-
perience? The pains possibly
have been lessened for the time
being, but have they not prom
pity returned, often with in
creased severity, and are you
really any nearer a cure than
before? You certainly are not,
and you never will be as long
as you rely upon treatment
that at best is merely a make
shift.
See what Mr.. j. j. Agnew,
of Mt. Vernon, Ohio, says of
his rheumatism:
For ten years was badly
afflicted with Rheumatism, the
pnins in my knees. legs and
ankles being almost unbearable.
| tried various remedies with
out results. until a physician adj
vised me to use S. s. s.. stating
that the disease was in the blood
After taking few bottles the
pains and soreness were greatly
lessened. | continued this medi-
cine until all pain. soreness and
inflammation were gone. and l was
completely cured"
