Ban Johnson Will Preside at Services, With Dave
"Fultzas Chief Mourner Retrenchment Policy
Will Be Executed
1 PHl5 Iaat ! Htoi wilt bo performed at tho bier of tho prostrato 1'lajerH' l'rn-1J-
tornlty in New Torto next week. At the conclusion of the trio of meetings
planned by tho magnates tho organization hemled by-Dno KuUr. will Join tho
ranks of tho lata lamented and hereafter wilt bo spoken of In low and nuudued
t tones. Ban Johnson will preside ut tho obsenilci and will bo ably assisted by
President Tener and about a scoro of club owners, nil of whom have been looking
forward to tho sad occasion with unholy glco. Tho magnates liavo been planning
, tho nffalr for months, and they feel that nothing has been neglected to mako tho
Interment n comploto success. It Is to bo TIIHIR week after long lean jcars of
.helplessness, during which they submitted to the yoke of competition, cut the
tpursestrlngs and smiled a. sickly smllo as tho placrs dug their calloused lingers
(tnto tho bankroll. Now tho order of things is reversed. Tho players aro helpless,
and thy will bo extended tho same measure of mercy they granted their emplocrs
I'When tho Federal League club was so potent. Tho first business of tho magnates
iWlll bo to sod tho grave of tho fraternity with neatness and dispatch, after which
they wilt do many and dreadful things to the poor orphans. Sad as tho function
JTlll bo, It must be admitted that there Is poetic Justice In the proceedings.
Fultz and the Players Have Been Outwitted
fpHE Irony of, it all Is that tho players inadvertently assisted the magnates In
J" arranging tho services. Thoy were outwitted through the agency of their Mr.
jFultz, who looms tip as tho chief mourner. When tho Federal League passed -Into
oblivion tho big stick they had usod so successfully was wrenched from their hands,
ut to a certain extent their case was not lost, as they still had tho public with
them and tho fraternity was In good standing as a result of tho attttudo 1'ulu
liad assumed toward tho Federal League. Without any delay, however, tho
players started looking around for another club they had been on tho top of the
heap so long that it had become a habit and they made the mistake of thinking
that tho fratornlty was'a bludgeon Instead of a first-class massaging macntne. To
Stake a long story short, they Just seized tho fraternity and tiled to mace tho
cwners in a brutal way, and this tlmo tho club splintered
It was what tho magnates were waiting for, but when it came, with ono excep
tion, they did not know what course to take. While the rest were wabbling around
Issuing statements that meant nothing. Ban Johnson, the greatest Roman of them
all, announced tho demise of tho fraternity. They wero harsh words, spoken in
anger; but they wero by no means vain words, for when Ban Johnson speaks tho
baseball world sits up and begs. Tho fraternity was dead up to the cars from that
, time on, and Dave Fultz might have saved himself a lot of trouble and worry by
taking his hat and bidding tho baseball world a hurried farewell. After Johnson
orated all that remained was for tho owners to get together and flguro out was
and means. They have done this and tho big explosion will take place next week.
A Million-Dollar Proposition
rPHB National League meeting will bo held Tuesday, the Commission will get
together Wednesday and tho Amerlcnn Leaguers hold their conclave Thursday.
At tho conclusion of tho trio of gatherings baseball no longer will bo a million
dollar proposition. Henceforth tho business of tho pastimo will bo done In thou
sands and oven hundreds of dollars so far as tho players aro concerned. Tho
policy of retrencrment so long discussed will be executed In its every detail, and
In tho future baseball will bo run on a more reasonable and conservative business
basis. Words of wisdom liavo already been whispered Into tho earj of Wceghman,
Huston and ona or two other spendthrifts who hao littered Into tho game, and
tho talk will bo driven In still further during tho conclave.
Fultz has seen tho light and ho realizes that he has been unanimously selected
to act as chief mourner. Ills efforts to bring nbout a compromise between tho
minor leaguers nnd their employers was a last fi antic moe to Rtne off complete
Weat. It was a vain attempt, however. The owners realbe that they hold the
sjrhiphand. They intend to go through with the thing and will refuse to com
promise anything. Tho plaers' organization will be destioyed, buried and other
wise obliterated, while a quietus will bo put on Dave Fultz for all time, so far as
baseball is concerned. The movo for arbitration undoubtedly will bo pushed during
the course of tho meetings, but Mr. Fultz will not be dealing with Mr. Barrow or
any of his associates, nor will ho be doing business with any of the smaller fry.
He will be asking terms of Ban Johnson, dictator of baseball, and ho will find
Ban a graven Image whose vocabulary does not Include the word terms.
( If all ball players wero taken nt their own valuation of themselves wo
would liavo soven championship teams in each major league.
Can the National League Afford to Lose Evera?
IT IS reported that Captain Huston Is after Johnny Evors and that the Biaves
aro willing to let him go provided they get what they think he is worth. For
two years tho Yankees have been after a second baseman, and it was thought
during tho early part Of last Beason that they had secured a man to fill the bill in
Joe Gedeon. Then tho evil Jinx which has been pursuing Bill Donovan again mani
fested itself and Joo was suddenly stricken ill. Although all hope has not been
abandoned for Gedeon, there seems to be slight chance of his plalng to form
this coming season. As a result, tho Yankees aro out to securo a second Backer
and modestly turn their ees toward Mr. Evers, apparently losing slight of tho
fact that some soven National League clubs must waive pn the well known pepper
box before ho can depart from tho older circuit.
Evers is a drawing card, has always been a drawing card, nnd probably will
ba a drawing card as long as ho stas In the game. A trouble maker ho may be,
a crab he undoubtedly is, but the people like to Bee Evers in action, nnd his going
would bo a decided loss to the National League. It must also be remembered that
with everything elso Johnny Is something of a ball player, and keeping in mind
tho things tho American Leaguers havo dona to their rivals in recent world'rt
aeries, it would seem like good billiards for the Tener circuit to hang on to Evera
and every, other first-class ball plajer it has. ,
Is there a septuagenarian in the house who can recall of a single
Instance of tho Johnson circuit permitting the National League to grab a
real ball player from It?
i
Paul Tewksbury Will Now Play as Amateur Well
"VTOW that Taul Tewksbury, once deposed from his amateur status. Is included
' In tho fold again of the-unpaid entries, there seems to be no particular reason
why any, of tho stars should make any particular haste in scurrying to cover
before the prowess of his golf. He has plajed soma fine golf In his time, but ho
never has created even as much as ono of the outside ripples that the sinking of
Francis Oulmet, former open and amateur champion, caused In the slough of golf
fan despondency, Tho return of Francis Oulmet to amateur status would mean a
great giant, feared by all, back in tho ranks. But Tewkshur.v's return simply
means that another very good player is now added to the list. Ho will doubtless
qualify in tho next national and then bo ono of those to fall aftor a "herolo
atruggle." Ho could not bo.rated among tho most serious of tho contenders.
Tewksbury, in making affidavit that ho has Beverod all connection with tho
kportlng goods department of Wright & Dltson, also promises to abide by the laws
of the"Unlted States Golf Association in the future. He has decided that his Job
la not worth so much as his amateur standing. With Oulmet and John H. Sulli
van, Jr., tho other star to be dropped into the midst of tho pros for selling golf
supplies, the case is different. Theso two young Americans have established a
$20,000 sporting goods business of their own. They are running a small shop in
Boston, selling all kinds of athletlo goods and golf supplies Incidentally or for the
aaost part. Both havo thelr-hearts and souls and capital wrapped up in the enter
prise and are determined to make it a go. It is their life ambition and means more
to either than the permission to play for the big titles. Sullivan would not have
Biuch chance to win and Oulmet has -won, both. Both aro settled down to tho
pleasures of the occasional round of golf without any tournament play to cut into
the business. Neither is likely to give up the store for amateur standing.
Now That the Date Is Announced, We Breathe Easier
EVIDENTLY Grant Hugh Browne, tho latest boxing "angel" in New York,
couldn't hold from the publlo the announcement that Jess Wlllard and Fred
Fulton were to box in Now York in tho near future. Browno had all things ar
ranged for some time, and the chances are that he was to havo sprung tho big
kotse on Tuesday or Wednesday, after tho battle with Wolnert. He grew confiden
tial, however, and admitted that the truck horses would mingle in the Garden on
the evening of i March 26, one day after the anniversary of the Wlllard-Mordn
'disaster. There Is no doubt that hn bout will draw an enormous gate, and
Jt.6 ajsafe W that Wlllard will be given enough money to keep the starving
Belgians in food for a couple of months at least. It will be a regular big leaguo
"affair, with $25 seats and eyerythlng provided it is pulled off. Fulton now looks
good, but he must make a decent showing against Welnert. Charlvy. you know, is
'no lemon and can hit Just on hard as any of the other heavies now fooling the
public. If he connects with Fredward's Jaw, then bioolet Anbther pipe dream
sMl have been shattered. It will be a great battle next Monday night and Fulton
ilt,take no chances. A defeat at this time will mean the loss of many thousand
dollars, and R"to said that the Plasterer is not In the boxing game for his health.

BANISHMENT OF HENRY
IS DOUBTED BY MACK
Keleasing of Player Is a Club Matter,
Says Athletics'
Manager
When Connie Mack was Informed of
President Johnson's declaration against
Catcher Henry, of Washington, last n'ght,
ho said he could hardly credit the truth of
the report,
' President Johnson may have some In
formation against Henry that we know
nothing about and has the right to say that
there Is no room lu the Amerlcun League
for a player who works against the best ln
terests of the leugue; but the releasing of
a player Is a club matter entirely, As to
as the clubs of the leaguo contributing a
sum of money to the Washington club to
pay for Henry's release, that Is out of the
question, and I would not do any such
thing '
Henry ,the veteran catcher of the Sena
tors, faces the possibility of being driven
out of the American League as punishment
for urging members of the Baseball Players'
Fratornlty to strike, according to a report
from Chicago.
