Fact ,Revaled Thai Athletics and
Naps Wouldn’t Havoiﬁone
on Strike '

Documentary proot that at less)
two major league teams would not
have gone out on strike with the other
nietulms ofthe Baseball i’lay‘crs'r‘ra-
terllity. on July 22, is furnished for the
first time herein. it is an open secret
that the teams referred to in President
David 1.. Fultz‘s bulletin issued just
alter the strike had been averted by
the settlement of the famous Kraft
case weer-“the Athletics and the Clove-
land Naps, who were playing in Phila-
dolphin at the time. It is dwell-known
fact that the Athletics never have been
in sympathy with_ Fultz's ideas. it
will also be recalled that last. winter
Eddie Collins and Frank Baker were
suspended by Fultz for non—payment
oi dues. l

‘ln the bulletin, which is published

below, ti‘wlll be noticed that [rat
Thomas, of the Athletics, together with
Joe. Jackson and Ray Chapman. of tho
Naps and Venn Gregg, recently trad-
ed by the Naps to the Red Sox, was
expelled from the fraternity for a
similar reason right after the strike
had been called off. It is also worth
noting that Fultz, in his bulletin, ad-
vised the plnyers to buckle down to
real work, at the same time practi-
cally admitting that reduced‘ patron-
age means smaller pay 'or the nth-
letes. Here is Faith's bulletin, dated
July 25: .. . .

“Bulletin No. 12,,July as, 1m.

‘lt is'useless to state here the result
of the Kraft case as-every‘pluyer
knows that already. '- The adjustment
was perfectly 'satistactory to Kraft
,and the fraternity. Mr, Ebbcts
should gain in the eyes of the public
and of the' players as being the only
magnate who had enough sand to ad-
mit Organized Baseball was wrong.
The papers seem to recognize in the
outcome a great victory for the fra-
ternity. it is a great victory, more
than anything else in that it shows
the boys they can stick and that there
is a strong bond of cooperation grow
ing up among them. ‘ '

-“You can take it from me that had

it been necessary to resort to a strike
there would have been just one game

' played. You have fooled ll lot of

people slid you, have won the ad
miration and respect of the entire
sporting world, including the fair
minded magnate. July 22 was the
bull players' Fourth of July

We will always win when we are
right. But we have got to be right.

"Johnson Tories

AT A BIG Sllllli

...—'_.—..

From Washington combs the story
that Walter Johnson and Clark Grit-
iith will get together in a. few days
and the conference will end with
Johnson attaching his signature to a
long-term ironclad contract to play
with the Senators. Johnson himselt‘
is quoted as saying that much ‘

While confident that he can reach
terms with Grltiith, Johnson inti I
mated that he might consider other
offers later if he failed to agree. it
is evident that the Washington star
has a price nil-bet and that he will
sign quickly WM. the Senators if his
terms are mag. ..The advance which
Waiter has not this season may cause
him to lower the ﬁgure which would
have been named in the event or his
going through another season as he
did in 1913. Johnson says he has
heard nothing from the Federal Leag-
ue since last spring, also that he
has not discussed signing with Man-
ager Gridlth since the time it was an-
nOunccd that he was planning to go
to the Feds next season.

Scouts Report Deartn oi Prom-
ising Material in Minors
This Year

Big league scouts reportadearth of
promising material in the minor
leagues this season and present indi-
cations nre that fewer players will be
drafted this year than at any time
since the system was adopted. The
drafting season is only a few days
away and speculation is rife among
Eastern Association club owners and
fans as to who will be the lucky ones
to go higher

An Eastern Association magnate in
discussing the merits of the players
a few days ago said that, in his win
ion, there are fewer stars in this
league at the present time, than in
any other year during his connection
With the game. ."I can't understand
it," said the club owner, “but it is
nevertheless true. I wouldn‘t be at
all surprised it no players were
drafted at all."

The Eastern Association is not the
only minor league circuit where a

'scsrcity of big league timber lusts

Scout Billy Murray, of the Pittsburgh
Pirates, while in New Haven s few
days ago. declared that big losguo

ray has scouted from one coast to the

build up the dilapidated Pirates. but

his efforts have been crowned with no‘

success at all.

The nearest approach to a triple
squeeze play ever seen featured yes-
terday's defnt of the Browns at the
Polo Grounds. Nunamaker's Texas
league single from a sort of bait swing,
half bunt chop scored Cree, Mullen and
Peckinpaugh. With only one out and

dently ordered the hit and run. A
pitch out. of course, would have been
fatal, but the Peerless Leader guard-
ed againt this as much as possible by
having Cree hold third until after the
ball was hit so that he could protect
the other runners. Peckinpaugh was
half way to second with the pitch. Nu-
namaller met the ball in such a way
that it carried over the drawn in in-
iieid and just too short [or Shotten.
When the ball hit the ground Packin-
