NATIONAL GAME
AGAIN IN DANGER
Threats From Fraternity Head
Brings About Serious Condi
tions; May Be Strike
New York, Jan. 12. —The decla
ration of President Fultz, of the Base
ball Players' Fraternity, that unless
requests for the betterment of con
ditions for minor league players were
granted there would be no need for
trainnig camps this spring, gave a seri
ous aspect to-day to the controversy
between owners and players. The fra
ternity last night showed that it meant
business by announcing expulsion of
Harry F. Sallee, the New York Na
tional League pitcher, on the ground
that he had broken his pledge to await
permission of the organization before
signing a contract.
President Fultz Intimates that the
majority of major league players are
solidly behind the minor leaguers in
their fight. He held a secret confer
ence at Philadelphia last night with
about twenty major and minor league
players.
Xo Reasons for Strike
President Tener. of the National
League, in reply to Fultz's manifesto,
asserts that there is absolutely no
ground for a strike and his attitude is
endorsed by the leaders of the other
big leagues.
The object of the movement Is to
obtain for players in the minor leagues
the same recognition that has been
granted to the major league players.
It is expected that the situation would
be discussed at the schedule meeting
of the big leagues here next Monday.
Bits From Sportland
Jack McFetridge, former Philadel
phia pitcher, died suddenly yesterday
at his home in that city.
Oscar Sutoh, recently elected cap
tain of the 1917 Maroon track team, is
out with a sprained ankle. He Is the
star runner and his injury may inter
fere with his work.
Lancaster sportsmen will fight the
proposed fishermen's license law.
President John K. Tener has re
quested his representatives and Ban
Johnson to be on hand Monday or
Tuesday for the schedule committee
meeting.
The board of governors of the City
Amateur League will meet to-morrow
afternoon at Boyd Memorial Hall to
consider important questions.
The Harrisburg Dragon quintet was
victor last night over the Central
Grammar School five of Middletown;
score, 33 to 22.
HARROW WELCOMES STRIKE
New York, Jan. 12. —Speaking for
the International League in regard to
the fraternity requests. President Ed
ward G. Barrow declared that the In
ternational "and the minor leagues in
general" will welcome a strike. "The
minor leagues are in no humor to be
coerced, or forced into doing some
thing which they do not care to do,"
he said. "We will welcome a year's
vacation, and perhaps by the end of
the year the players may sing a dif
ferent tune. Our owners have been
losing money and holding on, and the
players have been getting the money.
Our players have been treated royally;
in fact, during the last five years they
have received too much. A year's
strike would Btralghten out many
angles of the minor league situation.
T cannot help but say, however, that
Fultz's action is poorly advised, and
he has gone a long way to break his
organization."
GARRY HERMAN TALKS
Cincinnati. Ohio, Jan. 12.—August
Herrmann, chairman of the national
haseball commission, when told of Mr.
Fultz's statement, said that he heartily
endorsed the attitude of President
Tener and added: "When Mr. Fultz
says that "no consideration whatever
has been given our request to the
hoard,' he does not tell the truth. All
of these requesst have been acted
upon. The only requests that the com
mission had to deal with, that relative
to the pay of players injured during
service has been decided for some time
and I understand that the Players'
Fraternity has no complaint whatever
against the major league contracts.
President Tener has put the case in
precisely the same manner as I would
have put it."

"How do you do, Mr. Fulton. What

This is the way they are address
ing Fred Fulton these days, since he
handed big Tom Cowler such an ar

the front as a real, sure-enough
hea\*3'weight title contestant. A little
while ago they used to speak of him
as "That big boob, Fulton," "Poor

so any longer. All of the sporting

wonderful form, and many warn

contributions of mediocrity, Frank

turning point Ait also marked the last
chance the Kansas City man had.

night, 48. He also had one of 21, an
other of 17 and one of 13. Maturo's
best were a 36, a 26 and a 15. The

TECH IS READY
FOR HARD GAME
Locals Meet Reading in Intcr
scholastic Contest on Armory
Floor
Technical High School's basketball
team will play its second Pennsylvania
State Interscholastic League game this
evening on the Armory floor. Head
ing High School will be its opponent.
Tech will use Captain Pollock and
"Eddie" Harris at guards; Ebner. the
lanky sophomore, will play the pivot
position, with Bell at one forward and
possibly Gordon Holland playing at
the other offensive post. The latter
lad is a dead shot from the 15-foot
mark and with E. C. Taggart acting as
referee there will be sure to be an
abundance of fouls called on both
sides. Should this be the case, Hol
land would be able to net many points
for the Maroon. "Midge" McGann
will also play a forward position. His
speed will be of great benefit to the
Tech players in general team work.
Heading is bringing a veteran team
to this city. Last year the Berks
county aggregation took second honors
in the league. Four of these players
will be with the team. Captain Diet
rich and Rhodes, at guard, were ca
pable men last season. Wendler was
one of the leading -point scorers in the
league and was picked by many as the
best pivot man in the circuit. Wilson
will take one of the forward places.
The line-up for the game will be:
Tech. Reading.
Bell, f. Wilson, f.

Yet not long ago Hurricane Isle was

WELLY'S IT CORNER
Once more comes a story about a
baseball strike. Stories now in circu
lation are not favorable to the national
sport. If the coming season is to be
profitable and the game Improved, Im
mediate action is necessary on the part
of President John K. Tener and others.
Players have a right to certain con
sideration. However, they have no
right to demand more than their serv
ices are worth. The time for exorbi
tant salaries is over. For a long time
men who have backed the game paid
out their hard earnings Just to keep a
winning team on hand. When base
ball was most popular, high salaries
were not known.
Manager George Cocklll was expect
ed to reach Harrisburg to-day to to
morrow. He will probably announce
his plans for the coming season. Local
fans are anxiously awaiting some an
nouncement.
Until the present baseball contro
versy Is settled, minors will get little

As the dining room at the club will

supper served at the club.
The reception, theater and supper
will give an opportunity to all Yale
men to meet and do honor to the foot
ball team and celebrate in a fitting
manner their victories over Harvard
and Princeton. The Yale Club cor
dially extends all its privileges that
night to "Y" men not members of the

it is a question whether they can keep

Chicagro has also furnished four good

Jess Wlllard is willing to take on

that Fulton will win In the battle with

eliminate the necessity for Willard
taking on Moran.
The Boys' Division five of the Has
sett Club will play the Juniata five, of
Altoona, to-night on Cathedral Hall

Trying to Get Into Prison,
But No One Will Help Him
Topeka, Kan., Jan. 12. H. C. Horner,
of Wilburton, Kansas, wants to go to
the penitentiary. In a letter to Gov
ernnor Capper recently he says:
"I voted for you both times. I am
going to ask of you a favor which will
surprise you. I asure you that I de
sire It with all my heart. If there is
any possible way by which I may be
admitted to the penitentiary without
committing a crime for the purpose, I
implore you from the very depth of my
heart to admit me."
"Pardon somone if necessary and let
me work out his sentence. There is
no secret about this. It may be pub
lished to the world. I want to go.
Please grant me this favor If you pos
sibly can. I will try to be a model
prisoner. And you will win my heart
felt gratitude."
If you could realize the infinite care
with which the good name of
KING OSCAR

would be over. You would then
know that here is an all-day,
every-day smoke which is always
