Dave Fultz, President of Fraternity, Denies That There Is Con - ' certed Effort to' Make Magnates Come Through With More Money Than Offered in Contracts Moguls Sent Out. Bv H. C. Hamilton NEW YORK, Feb. 21. (U. P.) The gang of holdouts noV ' bringing the sweat out in large lumps on the brows of major league magnates is not the result of a concerted" plan by the Baseball Plavers' Fraternity to make the magnates come through Hvith more money. At least it isn't so far as David L. Fultz knows, and Dave, being the hold-over president of the fraternity, claims sVe a rj"tl A sttar a f Vi i r i O 4-VlA Ca nr. w i r 1 1 i hiiiiw u iii.ii t 1 1 v . Lav.i But the holdout fever is epidemic 'and rampaging through the payrolls of every major league club in the country. As a matter of fact, there are very few who have signed enough men to claim even he rudiments of a ball team. Even the New York Giants, a club which declares it has most of its players signed, must own up to lack of contracts from George Burns, Jim Thorpe, Dave Kobertson, Ferd Schupp, Poll Perritt and Slim Sallee, an out fielder and a pitching staff Southpaw Meets Righthander in H. Springs, Ark. Chicago. Feb. 11. X. N. 8.) Charles Weeghman's prize pitchers are beginning to gang on him In this matter of prying larger chunks off the Weeghman bankroll. Both Grover Alexander, who seeks a bonus for pitching for the Cubs, inltead of the Phillies, and Jim Vaughn, who wants a raise, are at Hot Springs. In the day time, it is presumed, they ' do training stunts. At night it is suspected they confer on means of getUng more money from the Cubs' boss. - Leslie Mann, outfielder, also Is a Cub holdout. It was announced to day. Mann objects to a reducUon In his salary. ROSEBUDS BEATEN BY METS, 6-2 Morris, Foyston and Rowe Prove Too Much for Portlandersj Barbour' Shows Form. Of oourse It Is possible that some , other v president or secretary, or something has taken over the duties of Fults in the Players' Frater- '- nity and has told the boys to spurn 4 heir contracts, but Fultz says nay. 'He believes the athletes are only . asserting their rights. ' ' Anyway, no matter what the cause, it Is a fact that less than 20 per cent of last year's ballplay ers and the new spring crop have condescended to affix their signa tures to the papers. It is a fact that the war can't be blamed for this. No, sir ! Base r.ball players who can blame the j, war are not doing it. They're glad -of the fact that they have Joined I the army or the navy. Those who are holding out merely state "they want more money or are "going .to quit the game." Stars Signed Before Spring " Chicago. Feb. 21. U. P.) The Chicago Cub and White Sox of ficials are not worrying about re ports of a "holdout league." ac cording to Cub Business Manager .Walter Craighead today. "A few playera have suffered salary cuts, but the holdout idea coming from the east Is absurd and preposterous." Craighead Bald. "Alexander, Klllifer, Vaughn and a couple of other veterans will be signed before the spring training trip." Manager Clarence Rowland of the champion Sox ald Dave Dan- forth would undoubtedly sign.

The Red Sox are going to come back! v This la the firm belief of every baseball fan In Boston and a good many outside the City of Culture. . Whether or not the ex-world's cham pions can fight their way back to the position of prominence they held so recently remains to be seen, but it Is a fact that they have a bright chance. Following the close of the 1917 sea- the Red Sox were greatly weak ened through the loss of playing tal ent.

Has Great Box Staff With Joe Bush added to the pitch ing staff Boston has a formidable ar ray of hurlers. Mays, Foster. Jones, Ruth. Leonard and Bush represent a word of pitching strength. Wallie Scbang, one of the best catchers In the game, will be first backstop, with Cady, Anew, Devlne and Mayer In line for the second string job. Shoald Be Contenders The Sox infield will miss Jack Barry, but with Mclnnls, Hoblitsel, Scott. Wagner, Thomas,' Gill and Gardner on hand, a fast infield combination can t be built .up. And who could ask for a more consistent looking trio of out fielders than Hooper, Strunk and Walker? Yen. bo I Those Red Sox ' certainly look mighty good now, and they'll be very much in the way of Comlskey's world's champions right from the start.

However, Fowler was goaling in wonderful style and the locals found it impossible to get the puck inside. Wilson and Morris got away In these nourishes and scored goals. In the first period Oatman made a long poke, the puck was rolling in and the goal keeper was raising his arm in token of a point, when Lester Patrick came from somewhere and with a wide sweep knocked it out Just, as it was crossing In.
