NEW YORK STATE LEAGUE MAY NOT PLAY GAMES AFTER JULY 4 IS REPORT-AMUSEMENTS
FULTZ FUMBLES
HIS HARD DRIVE
Fraternity Leader Hands Up
Testimony Which He Later
Contradicts
Philadelphia, June 13. After
nearly an hour of llstlessness, coun
sel for the plaintiff In the indoor
legal baseball game between the
Baltimore Feds and organized base
ball, which is being played in Judge
Dickinson's Federal Court, rut
across what looked like a base-hit
yesterday, when David L. Fultz,
president of the Baseball Players'
Fraternity, testified that August
Herrmann, chairman of the National
Commission, asked him to "black
list" from the Players' Union all
major league players who had
"jumped" to the Federal League.
There is a legal line for the demar
cation of fair and foul evidence lilts,
and counsel for organized baseball
will argue with the legal umpire in
an endeavt>r to have him change his
decision, permitting Fultz to make
this statement.
l.cgalitcs Warm Up
It took considerable time for the
legal flingers to warm up. and mid
way the game was called because
Judge, Dickinson had an important
appointment for this afternoon.
Before Attorney Janney succeeded
in having Fultz tell of the blacklist
consideration. Mr. Frichard caused
Janney to foul off several questions
pertaining to the same matter.
Proceeding to answer the query of
Attorney Janney. Fultz said: "Yes,
I had a talk with Mr. Herrmann,
chairmaij of the National Commis
sion in Cincinnati, on January 6.
1914. The Fraternity had asked
for a revision of certain baseball
legislation, and we were given a
hearing in Cincinnati on that day.
As a result of that conference we
drafted what is known as the Fra
ternity agreement. After the meet
ing was over, Mr. Herrmann said to
me: "Now. what are you gentle
men going to do for us?" I replied:
'I don't know what you expect us
to do. other than have the players
sign their contracts.'
Fultz Bats Herrmann
"Mr. Herrmann then asked me if
we, meaning the Fraternity,
wouldn't expel all major league
players who had gone over to the
Feds. I told him we weren't going
to enter into the fight between the
Federal League'and the Baltimore
Club in any w..y whatsoever; I said
we were absolutely neutral."
Prior to this testimony Fultz had
said that all members of the or
ganization who had gone to the Feds
were automatically suspended, be
cause the bylaws of the Fraternity
provided that any player who went t
from a protective league to a non
protective. the Federal League be
ing one of them, automatically sus
pended himself. Reports that Fra
ternity members who had jumped to
the Feds were expelled were untrue,
he said; they were merely suspend
ed.
So far the Baltfeds have gained
two points, one the blacklist state- !
ment by Fultz. and the other the
revelation of yesterday that or-'
gamzed baseoall was set back about
$1,000,000 in affecting the peace
agrement.

Copyright, 1917, The Tribune Association. (New York Tribune).
I've seen some queer stuff in my time;
I've seen Ty Cobb fan In a pinch;
And yet I've very rarely seen
A "baseball cinch" that was a cinch.
—From "The Reveries of a Rooter."
' It was all very well to enter the Giants as pennant favorites In the 1917
I campaign. No other advance verdict could have been rendered under the
laws of the pure food dope.,
The mistake was made in entering aforesaid Giants as certain winners,
sure-thng champions or pennant cinches.
Baseball knows no cinches. It was a cinch n 1906 that the Cubs were
going to beat the White Sox You remember what happened.
It was a cinch in 1914 the Mackmen were going to overwhelm the
Braves. You may recall the petrifying details.
There happens to be no such word as cincli in the spicy lexicon of the
pastime. There are situations that look to be cinches —and some of these
work out as such —but other upsets follow to prove that a sudden detona
, tion under the main works of certainty may arrive at any given moment.
THE CINCH DISADVANTAGE
Starting a campaign as a cinch delegation Is a disadvantage from the
, jump. You say it ought to inspire confidence. It is more than likely to
promote over-confidence.
No matter where the Giants turned, they read blazing dispatches award
; ing them the pennant in advance. No matter how they might try to guard
against this insidious propaganda, a goodly part of It must have sunk into
their manly bosoms. They could not help absorbing some of it as a psycho
logical law.
Last fall, with their present line-up at work, they peeled oft twenty
six straight victories.
This spring they looked equally strong. Who was to stop them? Ap
parently no one. But the fact remains that, at the end of the first week
in June, they were not in first place.
It must be admitted that the Giants are still pennant favorites. They
OUGHT to win.
But it is no CINCH that they will. They have a fine ball club. But
it isn't a ball club with any overpowering force. Once back home, they
face a matter of ten or twelve double-headers. Suppose the pitching staff
isn't just right along this stretch? Suppose It caves in as it did over two
long stretches last summer? It probably won't. But a probabiity Is not
100 per cent certainty.
THF.RK ARE THE PHILLIES
The Giants' main, rivals are pretty sure to be the Phillies. You don't
hear any vast amount of chatter about Philly strength.
But consider this: The Phillies won the pennant in 1915. In 1916 they
came within a lean deuce of winning again. In the stretch they beat their
mam rivals, Brooklyn, seven out of the last eight games. For three seasons
now they have either been first or within a short half-jump of the top.
They have remained up there, giving daily battle, hustling and fighting.
They don't look to be as strong as the Giants. But they are just the type
of ball club to grind along and be prepared for any rival slump. For they
are fairly sure of pretty good pitching right along—and this is quite a
factor.
They are no brilliant delegation, but they can amble serenely along
and beat most of the other clubs about as often as the Giants can. If
they should happen to get a spell of Giant-killing with Alexander, Laven
der and Rixey at top form, possibility of Giant failure might become a
'seriousimntter" with those who have wagered even money merrily that the
Giants would win.
THE OLD GAME
It is such in the way of bizarre detail that makes baseball what it is.
The Old Game has a habit of permitting experts, insiders, and such to
pick out cinches— and then crash in with a stunning upset.
The biggest cinch that McGraw ever faced was in 1906. After winning
a world championship in 1905 he had his great club ready for the 1906
romp. It was a cinch. Yet he finished either third or fourth that year.
When you have a machine composed of twelve or sixteen human beings,
it may become at any moment a most intricate, delicate affair.
There is the matter of accidents, injuries, hard luck, temperament.
Last season the Giants lost thirteen out of their first fifteen games. Then
exactly the same line-up won nineteen out of the next twenty-one.
This line-up was not the same as that now operating for the Manhat
tan cause. But it included Burns, Robertson, Kauff, Fletcher, Rariden,
Perritt, Schupp, Tesreau, Benton and Anderson—a matter of ten men and
all regulars.
YOU NEVER CAN TELL
"You never can tell" is an ancient phrase first written of the game.
The Giants' main opponents are the Phillies.
The Giants look stronger, on copy paper, in the outfield, around the
infield and back of the bat.
They look to have all the best of it. Or the better of It, as the case
may be.
One can't help feeling, whatever His prejudice may be, that the Giants
are pretty sure to win.
But those who followed the rickety dope over a period of years know
well enough some of the biggest looking cinches are the ones that are
frequently blown to fragments.
And no one kn,ows :ust what effect the draft will have upon any ma
chine. It may happen to lift one or two men from a club with disastrous
effects, where in another case it may do no damage at all.
Man Equation is always hard to figure, especially the same is
a plural affair. Last fall in football Yale beat Colgate 7 to 0. Brown beat
Yale by a big margin. And then Colgate beat Brown 28 to 0. Just as you
think the stuation is completely unravelled, Fate or something else tosses
a monkey-wrench into the machinery—and then the ensuing smear is a
terrible thing.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
YOUNGSTERS FOR
"GRIFF'S" TEAM
Washington American Leader
Wants Boys With Nerve
and Full of Fight
Washington, D. C., June 13.—Con
vinced that the aggregation of ath
letes he is piloting cannot win ball
games with sufficient regularity to
keep the fans interested. Manager
Griffith said he had about decided
to pick up a bunch of youngsters
who will at least be in there fighting,
even if they cannot win, and give
patrons of the game in" Washington
the treat of seeing ambitious kids
who, while lacking In the finish and
skill that only the experience that
long service brings, will be genuinely
trying all the time fighting for every
thing in sight.
lack Fight and Serve
Griff sums up the situation this
way: If the players he now has are
unable to win, due to lack of tight
and nerve, why not get some new
and young blood to replace them?
An outfit of hustling youngsters
might not be able to win any more
games and could hardly lose any
oftener. and the fact that they would
be on their toes all the time would
give the fans a better run for their
money. The spectator at a baseball
game appreciates earnest effort, even
though It falls short of bringing vic
tory for the team he is rooting for.
All of Griffith's players are not
veterans. In fact, it is largely to in
experience that the pilot attributes
some of the poor plays or failure to
execute plays that the Griffmen have
been guilty of this spring—to inex
perience and boneheadedness.

LEAGUE SHAKY
IS NOW RUMOR
May Not Play After July 4
Unless the Business
Improves
Rumors reached this city to-day
I from the Farrel circuit that the New
i York State league would not be do
ing business after July 4. Tom
■ Downley who loft Harrisburg yester
: day for his home in Bridgeport said
before his departure that similar re
j ports have been circulating over the
j circuit for some time.
According to managers who have
! played Harrisburg and based on
| newspaper reports, the attendance
I has not been up to the standard.
The teams have depended upon Sun
j day baseball to keep the game go
| ing. Rain and cold weather have
been a factor in cutting down profits
I along this line. Yesterday it was
announced that Wilkes-Barre would
I not be able to play Sunday baseball.
This has put a big crimp In ex
pectations of backers in that city.
: Close friends of the manager, J. C.
| Calhoun says he has intimated that
I without Sunday baseball it would be
j foolish to continue the game. When
here he was of the opinion that all
| minor organizations would have a
I tough road to travel to keep going
after the first call of the draft men,
I and troops were on the move.
Cook Makes Denial
j Captain Doc Cook, who is still in
this city, denied that he and Downey
j were responsible for the stand taken
; by the players. He said Ramsey and
■ Cooper were the committee repre
i senting the players. He also denied
j that he and Downey had been paid
|in full and said they were free
I agents and would sign with any team
faking them. Referring to the
; rumors regarding a break up of the
league about July 4, Cook said:
''This is the belief over the circuit.
If it was not the case why did the
league offer to guarantee salaries
| for only one month. It was not
; alone the refusal of President Far-
I rell to pay us hack salaries that
brought the kick, but also the failure
to receive a guarantee of more than
a month of playing. Roth Downey
and myself stood by what Ramsey
and Cooper asked for. When Ramsey
said we would not get our back sal
aries all the players were made free
I agents. Later they were reinstated.
| I am sorry for this city the busi
■ ness was not handled properly."
Under the management of Earl
I Mack the team representing Harris
i burg yesterday played at Elmira los
j ing out by a score of 10 to 5. The
wanderers had a patched up team
that played a good game. Clark was
not in the line-up.
JUNE 13, 1917.'
ifWELLYS^GORNERI
Without Sunday baseball Wllkes-
Barre cannot expect to make money.
The league will not have any big
profits either taking care of the Har
risburg team and keeping the play
ers on the road.
The Harrisbxirg Bacing Associa
tion Is giving this city wide adver
tising. This week's big event, known
as a gypsy tour, will put the city's
name in many cities between here
and Atlantic City. On July 4 the
local association will have a series
of races at Pottstown. Harrisburg
will get another boost.
Tom Downey and Doc Cook will
not be long out of a job if they want
work. There have been numerous
offers. Both could have gone ,to
nearby leagues with the prospects of
getting good positions as well as a
chance to play baseball.
"Billy" McCreath, who has won
three city championships, will again
be a competitor in local tennis
matches. He is now out daily get
