A. Cronln. . Dave Fultz and his baseball strike ap v... finMnr nrirl the onlnlon 1 V ..... now voiced among the critics that It vts an adroit move by Fultz to keep inajor league salaries at the old Fed eral league war stage. Instead of an earnest desire to help the minor league tall players get their transportation ip and from training camps and to pre vent their being suspended on Injury. Those close to baseball assert tnat there Is little sympathy between major and minor league ball players and that except in the rarest of ln tances a ball player is looking out olely for himself. That. It Is agreed, seems to be the history of negotiations between magnates and players and be tween players themselves. Basball owners hold that Fultz has been perniciously active in order to as sure the fraternity that he is earning his salary of $3000 a year, or there abouts. Met First Proposition. . ; Originally, the fraternity asked the national board to order the clubs to pay expenses from the home of the bail club to Its training camp and DacK. ; The proposal was made a law and now the fraternity wants its own rule abro gated for one that will compel the club jto pay expenses of players from what ever place they might be wintering to training camp and back to the point of their departure. The Portland club has always paid traveling expenses "i trom the home town to the training t camp, because of the little difference j Involved, and upon return, from th9 last city played in to Portland. The McCredfies have always urged that ' their players remain in Portland dur- ; -iTig the winter. Most coast league bail clubs do the same. A resume of the day's news shows ' , that Fultz' plans to make the depart t ure of the Chicago Nationals from Chi- cago to Pasadena February 20, the sig ' rial for the walkout, has met "with op position already from Al Demaree, who has been regarded as one of the spokea- men for the fraternity. Demaree wrote FulU to the effect that he will not be . with the president If he calls a walk out, judging that It Is unfair to make , : the Cubs the storm center of the pro- v posed strike. Demaree, it might be . added, was recently traded by the Phillies to the Cubs. White Hosiery Luke-warm- Now comes the Chicago White Sox 'With only lukewarm support for the proposed strike. Clcotte, Benz ani h .f lefty Williams say they will not heed ; tho strike. Anyhow, must of the Sox , are under Iron clad contracts and the club would not be affected by a walk out. Williams goes so far as to Bay . that most of the players with whom he has talked were mystified as to the reasons for a strike threat and that if :v It Is merely In sympathy with the minor leaguers, on which the frater- ntty's hold Is slight, he believes few major leaguers would favor a strike. George Sisler of the St. Louis Browns, is quoted as follows: I Oo not favor Fultz' plan. The major league players have no good cause to strike and I am not with them. ' Sisler Is a college man and a thinker. He says he will sign his contract with Fielder Jones' club. Xast See a Subterfuge. I Referring to the belief expressed In the east that the strike so far as 1. concerns the minor leaguers Is only a subterfuge and that it amounts to a final move to keep up high salariej. sympathy is falling away from Fultz. It is said that club owners have made a canvass of the situation and ate pretty well satisfied that the major ity of the major league players will not walk out. Fultz' latest accusation against Ban Johnson is that tbe American league head is in ignorance regarding the workings of labor unions. Ban 6a'U that he would welcome news that the Players' fraternity had joined the Fed eration of Labor, as it would give a I chance to standardize wages. Fultz points out that the affiliation of the Wh'lte Rats, a theatrical organization, if proof of his assertion that wages would not be standarized. Portland union men are of the belief that if the fraternity joined the fed eration, there would have to be a min imum salary agreement, but tnat tic club owners could bonus star players If they wished, this being a common practice in some unions to reward es pecial merit on the part of workmen. A parallel with the White Rats could hardly be drawn, as the function of a baseball player is clearly set out, while such is not the case among actors, who work as Individuals for the greater part. Ordinary Player Hot Helped. Just how affiliation with the fed eration would help the ordinary ball player Is not clear, as he would be paid no more than the minimum sum and could hardly expect to get more than that. The smart ball players like Cobb, Speaker, Collins and other big stars, would hardly agree to having their salaries figured from a minimum base. The greatest fear of the magnates is that if the players joined the fed eration the boycott Instrument might be used in a strike, but that would hurt the players as much as the mag nates. In other words the magnates believe that the players should do their share toward building ,up the WEEGHMAN PUTS ANOTHER CUT IN ARCHER'S PAPER Chicago Cub Boss Is Deter mined to Cut Down Expenses. Chicago. Jan. 19. (IT. P.) President Weeghman of the Cubs started retal iatory measures today against Catcher Archer. ; An unsigned contract call ing for $4000, returned by Archer, was "revised downward" and sent back to the hola-out. Archer last year re ceived a salary of $7500. "I am ready to take the same ac tion I did in the Archer case with any ballplayer who wishes it." Weegh man aid. "That goes as long as I am president of the club. "I am going to see this thing through regardless of whether we play a single game on the north side this summer. And the Cub special will start for Pasadena February 20 If there Is not a single ballplayer on hand." The Cub payroll last season was $145,000. It will have to be cut to $75,000 to make the club a paying business proposition, Weeghman declared. Now We Know What Is the Matter With M. Gibbons Wallop St. Paul. Jan. 19. (I. N. 6.)

Anybody that takes the title away from Freddie Welsh, lightweight cham pion, will have to do it In lo rounds or not at all. Welsh never will fight a ?0 round affair again, and he won't fight at all after July. This was brought out yesterday by Tom An drews, who told of Welsh's tefusal to go through with a 20 round battle with Ritchie Mitchell in New Orleans after all was practically set for that town. weisn aeennea to even enter into a discussion while in Milwaukee, and left town without ever giving the match further thought, and this de spite the fact that Mitcheil was ready to guarantee Welsh $13,000 for his end. win, lose or draw. Welsh admitted that he Is through eo far as long or tough battles re concerned, and said he would positive ly retire in July, either with or with out the title. Welsh feels the yeara ana errects or hard training creeping on, lie can't get into shape the way he used to, and his strength and stam ina appear to be fading. Praises newcomer. Welsh had words of pralsvfor Mitchell. He declared that along about the fourth round the local Idol hit him high on the chin or Just below the ear and so dazed him that for two rounds he was not able to tell whether he was fighting one or three men. "Mitchell looks like the goods to me." said Welsh before leaving town. "Ha Is a versatile battler. He varies no oijm ui auacK ana aerense so often that you cant figure him out He's wonderfully fast and clever' and has a great kick In either hand He's game, and above all things, mighty cool. I tried to get him rattled, but b proved an Iceberg,"' Abie Gordon Whales Lad in Victor, Colo. Able Gordon, the Portland flyweight, defeated Young Patsy Brannlgan of Milwaukee in Victor. Colo., a week ago, acording to a letter received from his brother Hymen, who Is a regular honest-to-goodness manager, having taken over the business affairs of Johnny Summers, the Denver lightweight. The following clipping te!Ls of Abie's ability: In the second round Gordon on corked a series of rights and lefts that completely bewildered the Wisconsin lad. Up until the eighth round Gordon hooked. Jabbed and uppercut his man at will. In this round Brannlgan sent over a terrific left hook which caught the coast lad flush on. the Jaw and sent him staggering against the ropes, it was right here that Gordon displayed great ring generalship in covering up and stalling- through the round. He also showed some wonderful recupera tive powers when he went to his corner and was able to respond to the gong In the ninth round all fresh and smiling. In this round, and also the tenth and eleventh, he tore after his man like a tiger, sending over crashing rights and lefts, knocking Brannigan down twice for the count of nine. At the opening of the tnirteenin round Gordon hooked a neat left lo Brannigan's Jaw, followed by a terrlfli right cross. This punch ended every thing as far as the suds town lad was concerned, and he was beaten fairly and squarely by a fighter of champion ship calibre and very much hla superior.
