J0HNSON'S TALK
SCORNED BY FULTz
Talk Of Wage Scale Fails to-
Impress Fraternity Leader

Chicago, Jan. 19.--Settlement of B
the threatened baseball players strike
rests with the club owners and presi-
dents of the two major leagues.
President Johnson of the American
league announced yesterday on his
return from New York The National
Baseball commission. he said. will

This strike propaganda is clear to
the baseball world Johnson said. "It.
few players and President Fultz Of
the Baseball Players Fraternity to
maintain high salaries-big salaries
that we paid during the Federal
league fight
President Johnson said that the
majority of American league players
will report even if a strike is called.
Nearly 100 already have signed. he
said. He also said that he had re-
ceived a letter from Manager Griffith
of the Washington club advising that
members of the club are signing and
that no trouble was expected.
Johnson said the Washington club
was supposed to- be the strongest for
the fraternity in the American league
Ray Schalk, catcher of the Chicago
Americans, signed 1917 contraa

issued by Fultz. He said he had re-

Have Unionized.
In a statement sent out last night
President Dave Fultz Of the Players
Fraternity replies to arguments Of
the club owners, particularly one BY
President Johnson of the American
league, that utilization with the Amer 4
lean Federation of Labor will stand Z
ardize players salaries. Fultz says
such arguments are intended to-
brighten high priced stars. He also
says organized baseball is one Of the
Strongest upionized bodies in ths
country. The statement follows:
Some very ridiculous statements
have been circulated in the public
press during the last few days regard
ing the effect affiliation by the ball
players with the American Fedora
ton OF Labor would have upon the
baseball business. Mr.. Johnson Is
reported to have said that 1T would
mean a wage scale. In making such
a statement Mr. johnson shows is-
norance of union methods. He also
states that il the bali players want
to unionize that so will the rnagnateG
and enforce a scale Of wages. He
seems to forget that where wage
scales exist they have been brought
about by the employe and not by tho
employer. He also forgets that base-l
ball owners unionized long ago and
now have one Of the strongest organ-
izations in the country"

evinced by Cunning in Waltz's welfare
last evening, safety first should be the
slogan If the mill is staged. To add
further to the humor of the alleged
battle, word was sent from Waltz S
dressing quarters requiring the SER
vices Of a physician for a broken
thumb. Yells and catcalls was the
| brand of sympathy extended to the
Lemon Champ" instead of kind
hearted regret that would be given to
a real fighter instead of an alibi ex-
tender. There are three cities in the
state in which the boxing game
fourishes, Bridgeport, New Haven and
! Waterbury. With the exception of the
former the fight followers have looked
at the "Idol' In action, but as there
was representative gathering OF Park
City fans on hand last evening, and
none appeared to be dummies, the pre-
sumption is that the Lemon will be
advertised there. New Haven also had
it's experience in the McAuliffe fight
when Dave Fitzgerald gave an honest
decision. There has been no re-
appearance Of the "Idol' in the Elm
City since.
! A special train from Hartford car
ried the largest crowd ever attending
a Brass City bout from this section.
Although the Kilbane- Drummie bout
did not cause any great amount of
excitemen there was joy In the local
camp, the reason is we'll known. Up
to the time that Ktlbane left the build
ing there was no attempt on the part
of Waltz's manager or friends to issue
a challenge for the championship Of
the world, together with the New
England honcrs.

Another Traditional Upset.

One Of the most remarkable form
upsets of the 1916 campaign is called
to our attention by a Brooklyn fan.

pitcher on the Nashville Southern
league team. During a contest with
Mobile he killed John Dodge, for
merly Of the Reds and Phillies, with
a fast shoot You know what usually
happens when a pitcher seriously
hurts or kills a batsman-he goes to
pieces, just as Russ Ford did when he
came near killing Roy Corhan, some
seasons ago. But Rogers must be
built of entirely new stuff. For, in
place Of breaking down, he started In

shutouts I'M succession, one of them
