kEYPORT C|NCHEs
LEAD IN M|DD. LOOP
BY Winning Three Games from
Y. M. c. A. on Hopkins Al
eys-Connot Lost Place to
Other Teams.

The Keyport Brunswick made the
best of their opportunities last night
and cinched the flag ir the Middlesex
County Bowling League on their
home alleys against the Y. M. c. A.
team of this city. The Brunswicks
can afford to lose all of their remain
ing six games to Roosevelt, and still
maintain their lead by a safe mar
gin. By losing the games the local
team drops to fourth place in the
race. Roosevelt passing them with a
one game margin.
The Y. M. c. A. bowlers were away
off form. They won three games
from the Brunswicks on Tuesday
night, but last night were helpless
before the onslaught of the Oysters.
The Keyporters apparently saw their
duty ahead Of them, and went right
out and did it. They rolled three
games, two of which were well over
the 800 mark and the third was suffi-
Cfent to beat the best effort of the Y.
M. G. A. five.
BY winning 1T becomes impossible
for the Brunswick to lose out The
X. M. c. A. team still has nine games
to roll, all against Railway, and
granting them all of the games, they
will still be three games behind the
Oysters IL they lost all of their games.
The, same condition holds for the
Woodbridge parish house team. who
could win all of their remaining
games, while the Brunswicks won all
of theirs. and still be one game to
the bad
Conway, of the Brunswicks, hit
the best score and also the best aver
age for the night. His high scores
were 2o1 and 221. and his average
for the three games was 1913, having
dropped to 156 in the last game.
Worth, fead-off man for the Keyport
team, was the next best average man,
having a 262 score in the first game
and an average of 1856.
Clarence Hoffman hit goa in the
second game, and Mallet followed in
the same game with POI. They were
the only double century scores made
by the Amboyans. Poor averages by
Pemberton and Johnson pulled the
team down so that they had little
chance to catch their opponents.

MAJORS TURN THEIR BACKS ON FRAT.
American and National League Mogus Have Decided Not
Recognize Fraternity-FuItz Claims the Situation is
Growing More Tense.

New York, Jan. 17.-In retaliation
for the action of the Players Frater-
nifty in refusing to, grant its players
permission to sign, Presidents John X.
Tener Of the National league and Ban
=. Johnson Of the American league
have decided that hereafter their
leagues will refuse to recognize the
Players Fraternity or have any deal
1ngS with it. it was announced here
today. President Johnson left this af-
ternoon for Chicago.
I'VE could take no other action
said President Tener. I'VE can no
longer have dealings with an organiza-
ton which is guilty of the rank in
justice of the present action of the
fraternity in attempting to interfere
with, hurt and ruin our business.
Hereafter the clubs will have to
deal with their players individually,
and we can no longer deal with any
outside body.
'sBy it's strike threat the fraternity
has of itself destroyed the agreement
we drew up with It in 1913, when nu-
merous concessions were granted to
the players. The fact that the fra
ternity admits the big leagues have
treated it fairly and squarely, have
kept all their pledges and that it has
absolutely no grievance against them.
made such action on our part inevi-
table,
When he learned that the major
leagues considered their agreement
no longer recognize it, President Fultz
of the fraternity said:
They will be only too glad to rec
ognize US after this case comes to a
head. Perhaps organized baseball
would rather deal directly with organ
lied labor, which can know nothing of
the fundamentals of baseball law, such
as the reserve clause, the release clause
and other baseball factors. also can
see how long organized baseball will
attempt to fight the American Fedora
ton of Labor and attempt to use semi
professional players as strikebreakefs.
They had better give in now, as the
situation is growing more tense all the
time''
The National league announced it
had promulgated the contracts of John
Murray and c. A. Causey, both of
whom signed with the New York club.
Murray was formerly a fraternity
member. Causey is a young pitcher
drafted by the Giants from Waco. He
is not in the fraternity.
