BALL PLAYERS TO DECIDE
STRIKE ACTION TOMORROW
BY Mark Shields

If the Baseball Players Fraternity
lacks power toaenfOrce a strike of
minor league athletes and sympa-
thetic action by the majors, it is run
ming a colossal bluff.
If it really is strong enough to en-
fierce it's threats, things are about to
happen that will change the entire
political angle of the game.
Players of this section of the
country will attend a meeting. here
tomorrow night, at which Al De-
maree of the Philadelphia Nationals
will read a letter from Dave FUltz.
;FuItz alone knows the contents of
this missiVe, but it is said to be load
ed with dynamite for the major boss
es. Joe Benz of the White Sox, not
in sympathy with the movement, will
nevertheless attend. Bob Roth of
the Cleveland Indians and one Of two
Cubs are also expected to be there.
"A raft of minor leaguers who winter
in Chicago will be among those pres,
ent.
According to Demaree, the Ma
tionaDis controlled by the fraternity.
This is mainly due 10 the way play
ers have been treated by the veteran
major. In the American the organ
izatiOn is not quite so strong, but
some of the stars Of the Organiza-
ton are numbered among it's MEM
. bers. Garry Hermann, owner Of the
Reds and chairman of the national
commission, says his league does not
fear the players. -.s-....
President Ban johnson of the
/ American, on his way east, has de-
] fed -Fultz and his followers to do
their worst. Things are lining up for
a straight out fight, and the magni-
tude of the battle depends upon the
number of men the fratednity can
hold in line.
Despite the WarIike attitude of
both sides, it is hardly likely matters

| Will reach stage OF open warfare,
interfering with the opening of the
season. Conditions are not prOpi-
tiOUs for strike. Baseball is getting
back on it's feet and the players have
no place to go in the event of a
Walk-out.
Just recovering from the blight of
the Federal league war, the sport
needs every aid to rehabilitate itself.
Fans, who pay the freight, are tired
of the continual pickering. They
will determine who is at fault and
demand a showdown. They have
proven in the past two years that
they will not attend ball games just
because the bear major league
label.
Art Wilson has reNIrned his Cub
contract with the statement that he
will not stand for the salary cut
made. Jimmy Archer has taken the
same action. The size of these cuts
is something known only to the play
ers and the club officials, but a rea-
sonable reduction was to be expect
ed. Salaries rose beyond all reason
during the Federal war and players
received more money than they
knew was in existence.
1t hurts to 60 back to the STAN
dard that prevailed before the war,
but that is the level salaries must
reach. Baseball is not a grand opera
affair, though there are some prima
donna salaries. 1t is a game support
ed by the people who pay 25, so and
rs cents for an afternoons amuse-
ments.
The tendency been steadily to-
ward the reduction of the number of
two-bit perches and the level has
been reached in that direction. Now,
if it is necessary in order to pay in
creased salaries, to reduce the num-
Der Of half-dollar seats, there will be
a roar from the patrons, for the stan

CHEERING SOME ONE ON.

Dout YOU mind about the triumphs,
Don't YOU worry about fame:
Don't You rrioye about succeeding,
let The future guard your name.
All the best loo life's the simplest,
Love viii last when wealth is gone
just Doe glad that YOU are living.
And keep cheering someone on.
Let your ucighbors have the blossoms
Let your comrades wear the crown;
Never mind the little setbacks
Nor The blows that knock you down.
ouu ho here when they're forgotten,
You'll hr glad with youth and dawn
II YOU just forget your troubles
And Keep cheering someone on.
Th.re'H lot of sorrow round you,
Lots of louosomoness and tears;
ln.H of hartachos and Of worry
Through the shadows of the years.
And tho world needs more than tri-
umpha.
Nor. than all the swords we've
drawn.

Who keeps cheering others on.
Lpt ho wind around YOU whistle,
\nd Juo storms around you play;
>uuU Doe here with brawn and gristle
Whom Che gOnqucrors decay

DO some souls you've saved from

Il you put aside the victories
And keep cheering someone on.
