JOE JUDGE AGREES TO TERMS
WITH THE NATIONALS FOR 1917
Writes Friends That Shanks Will Have to
Hustle to Get First Base Job-Fultz
Is Backing Down

war comes all bets are off in base ball"
This was the statement made yester-
day by President Fultz of the Players
Fraternity, and with what he added can
hardly be regarded as anything but
backdown on the part of the head of
the athletes organization. Continuing
FultZ said:
while were waiting to find out
what's going to happen, it's just as well
not to make foolish predictions about
when the strike is going to begin. 1t is
not going to begin February Is. as re-
ported. On that day the Portland
tOregon) club leaves for Honolulu.
There are few fraternity men on that
team. but we will not call them out. SO
far as the strike is concerned we have
nothing at all to say in the Pacific
Coast League"
When the attention of Capt. Til Hus-
ton of the New York Americans was
called to Fultz's statement. he said:
ITS as plain as the nose on your
face that Dave FultZ is looking for
hole. He wishes to save his face. lie
knows, as I know, and everybody con-
nected with the game. that the strike
is dead. He knows that it has been
called. He is looking for an out
some opening that will permit him 10
retire with vestige of grace.
Il wish to go on record right mere,
for the benefit of Mr.. Fultz and the rev
players who may be still lined up with
him, that there will be no Ratchet bury
ing come what may. II our country be-
comes embroiled abroad. it will be a
far more serious matter than most OF
US can possibly conceive. 1t will be Sc
rious for the owners and players As
Well. 1 wish to state further that the
owners will find ways and means OF
protection in protecting their players
Just what those measures may be the
future alone will unfold. But if Mr.
Fultz thinks he can seize this crisis to
turn the minds of the club owners and
the public from that common menace
with which he threatened the health OF
the game he is very badly mistaken.
1t would seem, from FultZ's statement
regarding the exemption of the coast
circuit, which is member of the Ma
tional Association of Minor League
Clubs that he is inconsistent to put it
mildly. If he exempts the coast
league, how, in all fairness. can he
strike at the major leagues, having re-
peatedly said that the players have no
complaint against the American and
National circuits? 1t would appear
that a class AA organization should be
the last one of all minor leagues to be
exempted. Fultz has seen the hand
writing on the wall, but he has been
exceedingly tardy in admitting it.

George Washington University to-
morrow night meets Georgetown in the
second basket ball game between the
two institutions The contest takes
place in the Hilltoppers' gymnasium
and begins at Sis o'clock. The first
meeting of the two quints was attend
ed by the largest crowd that mas
watched a basket ball game in Wash
'ington in years. and Georgetown won,
on George Washington's home floor.
With the exception of one change in
the lineup of George Washington. the
quints will meet exactly as they did
two weeks ago. Harmon seems to be
fixture at center for the Hatchetites,
having done creditable work in the po-
sition against Davis and Elkins and
Gallaudet Georgetown, having won on
George washington's floor, should be
favored to capture the contest on its
home ground. However. the struggle
was severe and the meeting tomorrow
IS likely to be productive Of better than
the average play
Two forms of athletic competition are
scheduled at Central High this after
noon. The basket ball team is to meet
the quint representing the Baltimore
Polytechnic Institute. and an interciass
swimming meet is to take place. In
the swimming meet there Is carded an
extra event, swimmers from the other
scholastic institutions in the District
having been invited to compete against
Centrars representatives in race of
800 yards.
The swimming events are to take
place shortly after o'clock In the
Central pool, and the basket ball game
IS booked to begin at 3. The basket ball
play will be in the girls gymnasium, as
the boys gymnasium is not equipped to
accommodate spectators. 1t is the in
tention to have all interschool COMPETE
ton of the character held in the girls
gymnasium, though the boys will prac-
tice in their own.
The game today in the high school
basket ball series. at the ''Y'' at 2:45
o'clock, is to be played between Bust
ness and Eastern. The Stenographers
will appear for the first time without
the services of two of their star players,
Buck Wise and Glessner and the game
will be chiefly interesting in that il Will
evidence something of what may be ex-
pected from the team in the games
against Central and Tech without the
two men who have been of such worth

Catholic University's quint tomorrow
night makes its first appearance since it
defeated Loyola at Baltimore, more than
a week ago. The Brooklanders entertain
the West Virginia University five at Car
roll Institute. The game is to begin at
S:l5. Not much is known of the strength
of the West Virginians, but usually they
are capable enough to give the second
institutions strenuous competition.

ORDER TO BEACH BATHERS
BRINGS RIOT IN CHICAGO
Police Attempt to Drive Crowd From
the Surf Fronting Lake
Shore Drive.

CHICAGO. July 31.-Attempts Of the
police to drive bathers from Oak
street beach. which is situated along
fashionable Lake Shore drive, caused
a riot last night in which several
thousand people participated.
A city ordinance forbids bathers to
use the beach. except between the
hours of 4 am. and am, but the
excessive heat drove many into the
lake in defiance of the law.
A patrol wagon load of policemen adj
vanced to the waters edge and COM
manded the bathers to come ashore.
They simply laughed at the officers.
Then one policeman removed his coat
and waded out He managed to seize
one of the bathers and drag her ashore.
This was the signal for riot. The
spectators closed in on the police, bat
tering several of them.
The crowd surged about the police.

ing threats against them and the resi-

Eight persons were arrested. includ-
