New York, Jan. 1.-THE Base Ball
Players fraternity, through its presi-
dent, David L. Fultz, today threw
down the gauntlet to organized ball
and declared that unless the mag
mates agreed to the requests OF the
fraternity there would be no need Of
training camps this spring,
As evidence of the earnest intent
Of the fraternity to fight for what it
terms its just rights, the organiza-
ton announced that it had expelled
Pitcher Harry F. Sallee from men,
bership because he had signed con-
tract with the New York National
League club after he had promised
that he would stand with the fratern-
ity until given the word that would
permit of a contract acceptance.

"Sallee was a member OF the fra
tcrnity and voluntarily pledged him
self with between 600 and 700 other
players not to enter into a contract
until he was instructed to do so, after
our requests to organized base ball
had received proper consideration"
said Fultz. As no consideration has
been given our ,requests TO the board,
and as Sallee acted in direct viola
ton OF his pledge, he was expelled
from the fraternity today.
"Sallee now stands discredited
among ball players as man who
broke his word,
This board said Fultz, has vio-
lated its agreement with us. 1t is
now a case of continuing to accept
breaches of their contracts and sub
hitting to unfair regulations or talk
ing in terms which the board under
stands. We believe it will under
stand this, that il it continues its

IQ6 latest TO attract woe dLJ6uLlOu.
While the city was wondering over
the Cruger case, a remarkable dem
OnstratiOn occurred of the fact that
women may be fOrcibly abducted in
this town in the midst of crowds and
nobody will lend a helping hand.
This was the arrest" in a subway
station of Mrs. L. T. Smith, wife of
a hotel man, by a man who styled
himself a detective and insisted that
Mrs. Smith was Dorothy Arnold. He
dragged her four blocks to a police
station, where Mrs. Smith was re-
leased and the detective" was sent
to an asylum for observation as to
his sanity.
An apathetiC crowd watched Mrs.
Smith being dragged away; had she
been dragged to some other place
than police station the man who
seized her evidently would have sue
Ceeded in his purpose.
Dorothy Arnold disappeared in
1910 and has since been identified"
several times, while search has been
made in various places for her body.
The mystery of her disappearance is
as deep as ever.
One of the most famous cases was
that of Jessie Mccain. Her body
was found off COney Island months
after she went away. No explana-
ton of her disappearance or her
whereabouts in the meantime ever
has been found.
Other girls who never have been
traced are Florence Whittier and
Helen Mccarthy.
Fate of the girls who are traced
gives a hint of those who never ap-
pear again. There were Anna Au-
muller, murdered by the ex-priest,
Hans Schmidt; Marian OdeII, abduct-
ed by a lover who was arrested; Alma
Myers, who merely left town discour-
aged after failing to find work and
was found in Port Jervis.

SECRETARY CONSIDERING CALL
ING OUT DRAFTED MEN

Secretary Baker has indicated that
a decision as to the examination and
classification of all remaining men
registered under the draft law might
be reached within a few days. Con-
gress eliminated from the urgent de-
ficiency bill an appropriation for this
work and it has been assumed that
the project could not be carried out,
at least until money was forthcom-
ing at the next session in December.
Mr.. Baker also is considering a
proposed change in the process of ex-
aiming the men which has been
recommended to him, the details of
which have not been announced.
Discussing reports that several
bills proposing to change the draft
ages will be offered when Congress
reassembles, the Secretary said that
he had not changed his opinion that
16 to 26 was the best age limit for
military service. He added, how
sver, that he was considering no
amendment to. the present law.
Tentative plans for the second
draft call worked out by Provost
Marshal General Crowder call for the
establishment of order of liability of
men in regard to dependents and
value for industrial work. Arranged
in tables those who are without par
ticular industrial value and have no
dependents would be tested in the
first class; the second class would in
dictate those with distinct dependents
and so on down the list. The scheme
has been submitted to civilian
board and has been approved. 1t is
now being discussed by those civil
ians with the Governors of the vari-
Gus States.
