BASEBALL STRIKE IN JANUARY IS ASSERIOUS AS SNOW SHOVELERS' WALK-OUT IN JULY
THREATENED BASEBALL STRIKE
" SOON WILL BE A BATTLE WHERE
BIG BANKROLLS HAVE THE EDGE
Fultz and Players Are Highly Enthusiastic Now,
But What Will Happen When the Athletes
Miss Their Monthly Pay Checks?
fTUrc battle of bankrolls Is on. Itasoball players throughout the oouhlry have
thrown down the gauntlet, th magnates have thrown down the gauntlet and
the Dear Old Public 1 nntientl waltfnc on the side line to see who will tlrst
pick It up.i Illalit now the monetaty mils seems equal, because the players have
no salaries to lose; but in six wekfl or so tho battlo lines will bo closely drawn,
and the Mdo with the healthy bank account will win by a knockout. A baseball
war can bo designated simply as a baseball war. but in reality It is ft struggle
In which dollars an-J cents aro UseJ as ammunition. The fraternity, which Is
backing the conflict, freely iirimlt.i that It has no war chest lo Unnnre a lontr
siege, while the magnates are there fortv way with the bales of bullion. We all
know the conierwitlonsl powers of the filthy lurrp. to most of thi talking should
be done by one side only
More Fuel for the Hal Stove League
"DIOHT now conditions ar serious in baseball circles. No contractu are helne
' signed, tho players boldly assert that thoy will continue to base writer's
cramp until the difference between the fraternity and the magnates have been
settled, and Dave Kultz Is confident that tho hall tosscrs will score a wonderful
victory Some S00 plaers are In the "hold-out" pIm, he says, and they will put
tho parade out of step long enough to foreo tho owners lo dccedo to their demands.
It merely is another battle between capital and labor, only they nrj wearing dif
ferent uniforms. The first tp was taken when the strike was called That's
great publicity stuff, but what effect will It have at this time of the year Base
ball now Is n. dormant sport, and to m a strike at this time Is Just as serious
as a wnlk-out of the SnowohovelerY L'nlon In .Julv
The Good Old Stuff Will lie Sprung Next
TT IS about tlmo for tho Fra'ermty tr, pull that "iinlted-we-Blond-dlvldtd-we-fall"
, stuff, for nlthout unity and firmness nil alr-ng the lino the strlko will go Jlooev.
While the snow la on the ground and the hot stoves are burning mer-lly all of
the ball plajers are patriotic nnd loyal to th caus Wliv shouldn't they? They
have nothing to lose. They do not mlas their pay checks because there nro no
pay checks to miss. They still are dlshlnt; out the coin they made last summer.
and tho financial stringency will not bo felt until the little birdies begin to sing
again. Then will come tho test, and tho side wail upholstered with Italo will hao
a decided advantage.
But don't think for a minute that tho players cannot tie up the grand old
game If they see fit to do so. All they have to do Is to stick together, and some
thing must break. IJut will (bey do If The high cost of living 1m higher than
ever and the maJorlly"of the strikers hae families to support. If they do not
play bueball It la up to them to go Into some other lino of work and recoivo
about one-third as much for their servkes. Again t- usk. will ihey do it? Right
now enthusiasm reigns supreme, hut have ou notlr-e-l that the former Federal
Leaguers are not anxious to Join tho walk-out" Tlio.e athletoa have been through
ono war. and they are not anxious to go through anothei.
Players Have Power to Tie Up Big Games
TT IS not the object of th Evcni.vo I.EiiOEft to favor one side or the othT. This
Is simply n statement of facts nnd the ieadr can draw his own conclusions.
We admit that the players can throw a wrench into tho baseball machlno and cause
tremendous losses to the magnates all along tho line. Hut where do the plaers
get off? They either can cjult tho game altogether or form another league on tli
brotherhood plan. But. if wo remember ilshtl, tho brothrrhood stunt wn3 tried
several ycara ao. It worked hcautlfuily In theory, but fllvved terribly when put
Into practice
Up to Fultz lo Make the Next Move
TAVC FULTZ has made the first mine in the same and the magnates hae not
run for cover. They ere close observers, and aside from spilling some talk
nothing wai done. Now It Is up to Fultz to make the next move, to show his
"ace In the hole." as It were. Tho Fraternity still is on tho offensive and must do
nil of tho forcing. True. Tcner has paid that the action of tho Frat Iook3 llko con
piracy and Garry Herrmann has barked him up, but that cannot bo called a
strong defense. Ban Johnson has unleashed ono of his vitriolic attacks at Fultz.
stating that Dave and his Fraternity must he driven out of baseball, and this looks
something like the real thing .fust bow this Is to bo done was not stated, and it
probably will not be until Tultz makes his next move. The way it looks now. how
ever. Is that tho magnates have discovered that Davo Fultz must bo ollmlnated or
he will become the greatest figure Imsebnll has ever known. If the Fraternity
wins this fight for tho minor leagues there Is no telling what will happun next.
Strikes are bad things to trlflo with, and if tho American Federation of Labor Is
behind the move or will lend Its aid In the future rome serious trouble is likely to
occur. Any way. the battle of banktolla will becomo more equal.
Furious Fred Fulton Makes Another Hid for Title
JJIRED FULTON, the Pernicious Plasterer, walked Into a ring In New York, Hat-
tened Tom fowler In less than a round and departed amid the plaudits of tho
multitude. He was In action less than two minutes, but U'o scribes devoted two
hours in explaining how well he looked, how good he could fight and how he would
give Jess Wlllard a terrible battlo for the championship And all of this dopo was
obtained In less than two minutes! Now ho is billed bigger than Les Darey and is
the real honest-to-goodness pugilistic Idol It must bo easy to satisfy the experts
over In N'Tawk.
Taking It by and large, wo cannot seo whero that championship stuff cornea
from. Fred Is a fairly good big man. but he never will get humpbacked carrying
around his medals for swell fighting. When he met Al Itolch last April he looked
like a. terrible frost, regardless of the fact that ho made Chicken-hearted Al quit In
the ninth round. He went back borne after that, tried to get b with a circus
nnd ended up by selling pop and popcorn to the natives who visited the fair
grounds near Rochester, Minn. Then ho switched managers, returned to the
Rome and flattened Andre Anderson, a real ham. who has been flattened by
every one he haa met. The Gopher Goliath follows thi3 glorious Wctory with a
trip to New Vork, whero he got In solid by flattening another ham.
Fulton Has Class, But It Looks Like Steerage
THOSE who have seen Fulton In action do not get excited or sing tho "Star
Spangled Banner" every time his "name Is mentioned. He Is big, displacing
six feet five and a half Inches of ntmosphcro, the half being taken up entirely
by his forehead. He has a good left Jab. can hit with his right, but ns yet noth
ing has been Keen of his ability to toko punishment. Reich had him in bad
shape and Cowler made his knees sag with a wallop to the Jaw In the last bout.
Neither of these men knew enough to follow their advantage, however, and
Ferocious Fredward weathered the storm. If he ever meets a hard puncher. It
looks like a safe bet that the Gopher will do an Annette Kellormann and take it
high diva to the canvas But the chances aro that he will be mighty careful
In selecting his opponents, for he Is in line for a bout with Wlllard nnd has
been for the last year. If tho match must come. let "er come. The sooner the
massacre is oer. the better for the Dear Old Public.
Now That the Golf Votes Are Counted
ALL- kinds of upheavals are threatened us the result of the vote In which the
XX amateur golf law as framed last year was upheld by delegates to tho nnnual
meeting of the United States Golf Association. The most violent is the threatened
secession of many of the clubs In the Massachusetts district, whore Francis
Oulmet, whose reinstatement was refused, is an idol of the populace. In line
with this Is the threat of the Woodland Golf Club, of which Oulmet is a mem
ber, to form an outlaw organization to fight the United States Golf Association
tooth and nail and not to lay down its awiH till that "oligarchy Is suppressed"
nd democracy Is the keynote of American golf. The Woodland club claims to
have been discriminated against. If the "federal golf league" Is started It will
have no little power right at the start. If It can persuade Francis Oulmet to tako
n active part In the championships which It proposes to hold. Oulmet Is the
greatest player In the country today. In the Woodland club is also Jesse Gutl-
ford, a semlMnallat In the national last season. Walter Trails, the Grand Old
Man of American golf. Is now a professional and might be lu to the new league.
He Is the only American who has ever won a British championship and is still
one of, the best players wo have.
Aside from the players who might be seduced Into the new body there are
a (Teat many Clubs and sections of the country that are seemingly In sympathy
with any move to overthrow the controlling element of L s. G. A., said element
many insist being actually the "U. 8. G. A." The time seems ta haia come for
a democratic body which deals with the large, powerful clubs, the moneyed
clubs and the small clubs with the same Inpartlal thought.
Columbia Has Lost lis Grip
IT DOES not take long to tsar span a system of play In any farm ef athletics,
and It also does not take long far a. college, long recognized as the leader In a
certain sport, to drop to the bottom, ft any one doubts the truth of this statement
