BY ROSCOE FAWCETT.
According: to Carl Mays, a member of
the Boston world's champions who Is
wintering In Portland, the players will
stick with Dave Fultz In his struggle
With the club owners. Mays is one of
the players who has not signed, and he
eaid yesterday he did not intend to sign
bis 1917 contract until Fultz gave the
word. ,
"We have been given to understand
that the Boston club will not cut sal
aries," explained Mays yesterday. "But
most of the other club owners have
announced a salary slashing pro
gramme. Players don't want more
than - is fair, but they want all that
is coming to them.
"When the magnates begin that sort
of stuff there is only one thing for
the players to do, and that is strike.
I don't think there Is any question but
that the boys will stick to President
Fultz, of the Players' Fraternity. If
the magnates refuse to accede to our
demands very few of us will sign our
contracts. N
"Not more than 15 per cent already
are signed by the 16 major league
clubs. If the unsigned players stick
the magnates will 'have to 'come
through.' The fans certainly will not
pay to see Class A baseball in the
major leagues."
Mays said further that Shore, Ruth
find Agnew were the only members of
the world's champion Boston club al
ready signed.
"The Boston club changed ownership
a few weeks ago, so we have not even
received contracts yet," added Pitcher
Slays.
"Do you expect a raise In salary?"

"Indeed I do," replied the blond rlght-
Jiana pitching phenom.
"I won 19 games for the Sox last
year and lost only 13, and as I wasn't
getting as much as some pf the others
I think I am entitled to an increase.1
Mays says President Fultz, of the
Fraternity, visited every one of the
major league clubs In their hotels be
fore the close of the season, and laid
his plans then for the present threat

Since then the malls have been

JOHSSON THHEATENS FULTZ
Head or .Baseball Fraternity to Be
Crushed, Says League Chief.
CHICAGO, Jan. 12 Threats of David
I Fultz, president of the Baseball
Players' Fraternity, to call a strike of
between 600 and 700 players unless
their demands are granted before the
start of the 1917 season, were answered
by B. B. Johnson, president of the
American League, here tonight.
President Johnson in his statement
declared Mr. Fultz would be driven out
of baseball,, that the fraternity would
be crushed and. that every player In
the American League would be obliged
to sign a contract before going to the
spring training camps.' The American
League. Mr. Johnson said, is "through
with Air. Fultz.
"We never again shall listen to any
proposals he may offer," President
Johnson said. "We invite him to carry
out his blTiff. I. personally, do not
believe the players are back of Mr.
uiw. x Lniiin ne naa Deen using
power to send out statements without
authority from the players themselves.
- The American League will see that Mr.
Fultz Is crushed and driven out of
baseball.
v o ainajis imve ucon resay 10 listen
to Mr. Fultz and the pleas of the fra
ternity, but now we are through with
him. The American League has been
, fair with its players and will continue
to treat them fairly without the aid
of Mr. Fultz."
President Johnson also declared that
John Henry, catcher of the Washington
ciud, a representative of the Players'
Fraternity, could either drop his ar
filiations with the fraternity or quit the
American League.
"Henry or any other player In the
American League who refuses to sign
a contract because of the fraternity
will be barred. We propose to lay a
strong band on Henry and others like
him.

Score of 12 to 3.
SEATTLE, Wash.. Jan. 12.,-Tjtterly
demoralized by the dash and effective
ness of the Seattle attack, the Vancou
ver hockey team was routed by a score
of 12 to 3 here tonight.
The game opened with some of the
fastest hockey ever seen here and the
flrst period was hard fought through
out, the period ending with the score
two-all.
Seattle drew away In the second
period, scoring three goals to one for
Vancouver.
The last period scarcely could be
called interesting.

As yet nothing definite has been
done as to completing the "Wingel
