BALL PLAYERS THREATEN STRIKE SNAPSHOT OF ONE OF THE LARGEST DELEGATIONS ATTENDING THE PACIFIC COAST HANDICAP TOURNAMENT AT THE PORTLAND GUN CLUB GROUNDS AND SQUAD 18 IN ACTION. Ultimatum Is Sent to Head of National Commission by Big League Fraternity. WAR SET FOR WEDNESDAY Ban Johnson Says American Mug nates Will Fight to Finish and All Parks Will Close Dispute Over Kraft Is Canse. NEW YORK. July JO. Organized baseball and the Baseball rlay era' Fra ternity appear to be on the verge of an open break regarding Clarence O. Kraft, who recently declined to obey an order by the National Commission to report from the Newark Interna tional League Club to the Nashville clob of the Southern Association, and was suspended. Kraft maintained that by joining tne Nashville club he would receive 1150 a month less than was paid him by the Newark club. The disposition of this player has been the source recently of both cor respondence and interviews between the representatives of the National Commission, the National League and the Players' Fraternity. At a meeting of the board of direc tors of the Players" Federation yes terday. David L. Fultz, president of that organisation, was Instructed to prepare a letter, which is generally termed an ultimatum from the frater nity to organized baseball. Iltlmatnm In (looted. The letter In full follows: "August Herrmann, Chairman Na tional Commission Dear Sir: Inas much as organised ball sees fit to con tinue Its violation of section 18, and several other sections of the Clncin natl agreement, which agreement Is a part of every player's contract, the board of directors of the Baseball Players' Fraternity has authorized me to inform you that on and after wea nesday. July 22. the members of the organization will no longer consider themselves under contract." President Ban Johnson, of the Ameri can League, who arrived in this city yesterday, today called a meeting of the American club owners here tomor row morning. In an Interview this afternoon Johnson stated that an order ailing for a strike of American League players. If carried out. would cause the immediate closing of all American League baseball parks until such time as the players agreeo. to return under such conditions and penalties as might be Imposed by the league. President Tener. of the National League, was absent from the city and Secretary John A. Heydler, acting a aaoeuUve, declined to discuss the case or state what action would be taken by the National League. Other Violations ( hanged. President Fultz, of the fraternity, is sued tonight a lengthy statement de fending the stand of the Players' Fraternity. It said that the Kraft case, while now the main point at issue, was only one of the causes of difference between the federation and organized baseball. It declared that the "Cin cinnati agreement." entered into be tween the players and the magnates last year, had been violated by club owners dozens of times, and that a few of the magnates "have not even made a pretense of living up to the agree ment." It added that players had been re leased without the required preliminary notice, or suspended without pay and no reason fur their suspension assigned, and that Secretary Farrell. of the Na tional Board of Arbitration, to whom five or six cases of players' claims had been submitted, had not acknowledged receipt of them. Federals' Influence Denied. The Idea that the Federal League was in any way backing the Players' Fraternity was scouted by National and American League magnates. President Ban Johnson, of the American League, aid he received his first Intimation of the proposed strike yesterday after noon. Mr. Johnson said: "The club owners of the American League are a unit In this matter. The Kraft case does not affect the Ameri can League. "It Is a purely National League mat ter, and I cannot say anything regard ing the case in particular. It appears to me that to satisfy the Players' Fraternity it would be necessary to violate the National agreement. "It's about time that this fraternity nonsense should end. We have been very lenient with Mr. Fultz and his as sociates, but they have gone too far and we intend to call their bluff. "You can say for me that if the American League players, or a majority of them, obey a strike order on Wednesday every American League club will close its gates, all salaries will be stopped and we will inflict heavy fines on the players who thereby violate the letter and spirit of their contracts. "Strike Would Be Lost." "You can also say that this strike will be the last one conducted by Mr. Fultz and his fraternity, for we are prepared to keep our grounds closed for the rest of the season, no matter what It may cost us. "Kraft belongs to the Nashville club and that club has a just claim on him. There is no way out of the present tangle unless a major league club buys Kraft from Nashville. "I understand that President Farrell. of the New York Americans. Is ready to buy Kraft, but personally I hope he does not close the deal until after Wednesday, so that the American League can call the fraternity's bluff." CASE IS EXPLAINED TO TEAM Chairman Herrmann Asks Cincin nati Players to Decide. CINCINNATI, O., July 20. Shortly after receiving the letter from Presi dent Fultz. of the Baseball Players' Fraternity, Chairman Herrmann, as president of the Cincinnati baseball club, called the members of the team together and recited to them his ver sion of the controversy. Mr. Herrmann said: "The friction between the National commission and the Baseball Players' Fraternity has arisen over the decision that sent Player Kraft to the Nash ville class A club. Kraft was originally drafted from Nashville by Brooklyn, then transferred to the Boston Na tionals and later signed a contract with the Newark International League club. "Nashville Immediately put in a claim for his services under section 9 of what is known as the Cincinnati agree ment. This provides that any class A player drafted by a major league club can be claimed by the class A team from which he was drafted, providing he Is sei.t back to the minor leagues.

I suggested to him by letter that this case be taken up by a committee or committees from each side and threshed out and an amicable agreement reached, which I have no doubt could be done. "I have put this case up to you in as fair a manner as I know how. Non it is my desire to know If you boys, members of the Cincinnati baseball team, will no longer consider yourselves under contract to this cluD arter Wednesday. In all fairness to me. and I believe you will be fair, I want to ask you to let me know by tomorrow night your decision, so that In case vou Intend to abide by tne terms oi Mr. Fultz' letter I can notify our patrons that there will be no gameof baseball at the park on Wednesday." The ballplayers, after noiuing a 10 Inute session, told Mr. Herrmann that they have received no information from Mr. Fultz on the subject and In case they did they would consider the mat ter further and would let him know their decision by tomorrow night.
