YANKEES MAY GET
EVERS FOR INFIELD
Ban Johnson Favors Move That
Will Put Trojan on Sec
Ond for Donovan.
By JOE VILLA.

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-Johnny Evers
ran down here from his home in
Troy Monday and stayed overnight
at a Broadway hotel. The famous
second baseman of the Boston Braves
is anxious to wear a Yankee uniform
and believes that Manager Stallings
will trade him If a certain New York
player can be obtained as part Of the
deal.
Evers freely stated yesterday that
he would be glad to end his baseball
cereer in the American League, and
he added that II he could play Sec
ond base this year for the Yankees
they would surely take part in the
worlds series next October.
Sounded the Yankees.
I learned several days ago that
friends of Evers had sounded the
owners of the Yankees and Manager
Donovan as to a possible deal. 1t
appears that Messrs. Rupert and
Huston left the matter entirely with
Donovan, who declined to express his
opinion one way or another until he
could think 1t over from every angle.
Stallings was said to be on his
way here yesterday from Georgia for
a talk with Donovan and the Yankee
magnates prior to visiting Boston,
where President Haughton is prepar-
ing to secure the services of a dozen
minor league players to take the
places of the striking Braves.
Friction With Boss.
According to the gossips, there was
some friction between StaIlings and
Evers last season. Evers, it is said,
blamed Stallings for getting him into
trouble with the National League UNI
pires.
The little Trojan, so the story goes,
asked for his release In September,
but Stallings turned him down. Evers
kept out of mix-ups with the umpires
and league officials until he became
manager of the Cubs in 1918. Then
he lost his head on frequent occa-
sions, and was charged with unruly
behavior. As captain of the Braves
he played wonderful ball in 1914, and
was a big factor In winning the
worlds championship.
Wants No CaptaIncy.
Evers says that IL the Yankees
will make a deal for his services, he
will devote his entire time to covering
the middle bag. He doesn't want the
captaincy and never would consider
another managerial offer He says
that he Is anxious to redeem himself

Asks Arbitration.


President Fultz, of the fraternity,
has asked for a compromise with the
magnates, especially the minor league
magnates.
The attitude of the National Com
mission is that it has no control over
conditions in the minor leagues of
the country and, therefore, cannot
engage in arbitration or conciliation
measures between the players and
the minor circuits. Furthermore, all
relations between the two big leagues
and the fraternity, as an organiza,
tion, have been severed at the in.
stance Of Ban Johnson, who wants
to fight the issue to a finish once
and for all.
The minors, IL Ed Barrow, head OF
the International League, may be q
fair sample, will turn the coldest OF
cold shoulders to Fultz and his fra.
ternity members.
Ofer No Concessions.
''The fact that Fultz was willing to
tie up our business and wreck our
clubs will be considered in any ap-
plication for a compromise" Barrow
says. "As for using the prospect of
war for any argument to settle this
thing now, 1t will have just the op-
posite effect on our club owners. They
will be all the less willing to listen
to any suggestion by which they shall
add any expenses, but anyone who
can suggest a means to cut down the
cost OF operating will have no trouble
finding listeners"
Fultz has sent communications to
the National Commission and to the
presidents OF the various class IA
and Glass A leagues pleading that,
facing the country, the baseball war
fare should be settled through arbi-
tration.
Players Are Deserving.
For several weeks the players of the
big league teams have been deserting
Fultz, though the latter has issued
almost daily denials of this state:
ment.
Ban Johnson yesterday said that
practically every American League
star is signed for 1917" and that when
reporting time came Fultz and his
few deluded followers would see the
futility Of ordering a strike.
Many players, such as Bobby Veach,
thought that a strike would be or

season and would see every player
quit the field. OF course, players un-
der contract could not do so without
multiplying their contracts, but Veach
couldn't reason that closely.
Many other players signed their
pledges thinking that Fultz's only OBJ
ject was to do away with certain
conditions in major league baseball
These conditions have, been remedied
and now these players have no cause
for striking.
Cubs Become "GOats."
Fultz is making goats" of the
members of the Chicago Cubs. They
have been ordered to report a week
from next Tuesday and leave for
Pasadena. Cal. Only men under con-
tract will be admitted to the special
train, and unless Fultz allows pledge
signers to get in line, the players
will either have to quit the Cubs or
be expelled from the fraternity.
As a result of this situation fra
ternity members OF the Cubs are COM
planning, the last to be heard from
