Dave Fultz, President of Fraternity, Denies That There Is Con

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

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

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.

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

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."

The summary i
New York. Feb. 21. (I. N. S.) 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

at any cost. And he has succeeded.
In ene big swap Frazee parted with

Stuffy M dim is as a wlndup to the
same deal, with the ; result thai his
ball club Is as strong today as it was
at the start of the 1917 season.
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.
If they should come back it will oc

the latter' part of the last period In an
effort to even up the count. The Buds
might have held the soore to 4 to 2, but
Muldoon sent five men in ront of the
Seattle net with two back. 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. That probably put a differ
