Southern Performers and Those in All Other Circuits Should Be Enrolled
BASEBALL ‘UNION 1 NEEDS MINOR LEAGUE PLAYERS
13 v AV. S. Farnsworth.
_ 1 THEN the Detroit baseball
\\/ players "struck” last sum
* * mer because Ty Cobb, of
G- -cia, had been suspended for
. atmg up a rowdy spectator In New
York, they launched the Players
p. .eball Fraternity, an organiza
tion that Is now struggling to get a
foothold. But whether this "union”
lii soing to amount to anything de
entirely on the limitations of
It? membership.
If the "union” is to consist only
of major league players, I look for
to have a short life. But if the
diamond warriors of the Southern,
International and American asso
ciation are admitted, then it may
possess some power.
\ wise scheme for the new or
ganization would be to have an
O p en membership to every player
in organized baseball. At least,
players in every league down to and
including class B should be en
rolled.
Otherwise the Baseball Players
Fraternity will cut about as much
f c6 as did Doc Cook after his al
leged North Pole discovery had
jeen r eposed.
Sue!: moves as this are recurrent.
About once in every baseball gen
eration, if the financial condition of
the game warrants it, the players
. ave come forward with demands
for reforms, chief among which
ttiways been the request for a
ia., ;re • proportion of the emoluments
of baseball.

but once, in 1890. did the players
en eovor to enforce their demands
b< a tually going on strike, but
th ■ > all that differentiate.- the
Brotherhood revolt from the Union
assO' iation movement of 1884 and
t!< Players Protective association
of 1900 x
first of these movements, the
L'r.on association of 1884. though
f :ml;iy capitalistic in its organiza
tion. nevertheless owed a portion
of its ephemeral success by espous
al of the cause of the “downtrod
den” players.
The Brothel hood movement of
six years later was the most se
riwis attempt on part of the play
er- to control the financial end of
baseball yet made. Prior to the
revolt the organization had been
United altogether to players under
contract to National league clubs.
When the men went out they
took with them many of the stars
f the American association. But
they failed in their effort to control
baseball mainly because they failed
to make the league pay and with
their backers consequently lost
heart.
Protective Ass’n Was a Joke.
The Players Protective associa
tion. formed ten years later, never
amounted to much. Coinciding, as
its- organization did, with the war
between the National and Ameri
can leagues, the players of that
day lost sight completely of mu
tual aid or anything else in the
mad scramble after fat contracts.
The present organization asks
openly for the better protection of
th? players while on the field.
Ti re can be no objection to that.
They have not as yet. demanded

took definite shape last September,

They have not made any financial
demands thus far. but that this fea
ture was uppermost in the minds
of many who have subscribed to
the organization was shown last
summer, when in discussing the
matter the players said that a de
mand for half pay on training trips
would be asked in 1913, No men

knows, of demands as to salary in

of the Detroit players while on

strike at the present time, such
movement would necessarily result
in failure. Organized baseball is
far more strongly ' fortified today
than it was in 1890, when the un
successful Brotherhood revolt oc
curred. But it is not likely that
players, in the light of past expe
riences and with so wise a head as
David Fultz leading the associa
tion, will attempt any movement of
this sort, at least until they have
extended their organization to at
least as low as class B.
Then, if a considerable percent
age of thgjr members do not suc
cumb to tempting offers sure to be
made by the magnates of the two
big leagues in event of a strike,
they can go out with some rea
sonable prospects of success.
A strike under existing conditions
would be almost necessarily fatal.

Half a Dozen Ambitious Leaders Have Already Been Given Ukase
WHOLESALE DECAPITATION OF MAJOR MANAGERS
By Damon Runyon.
IT’S surely one sad and mourn
ful scene to wake up every
morning and find the back
yard bestrewn with jobless base
ball managers, just as a long, hard
winter is about to break out and
run amuck. If all the various
changes had been made during the
course of the regular season, the
clutter could have been cleared
away in the general routine of
business without attracting any
great amount of attention, but at
this particular time the huge mass
of the unemployed is clogging the
wheels of traffic.
So far, about half a dozen big
league managers have been given
the good old raus, with several
precincts which are normally "agin”
second terms for any leader yet to
be heard from.
Joe Tinker Is apparently to sup
plant Hennery O'Day at Cincinnati,
which is a dignified way of gating
that Josephus will horn the ex-ump
out of a fat situation. Presumably
Hennery will again don the blue
badge of big ’eague servitude, un
less Murphy signs him to take Joe’s
job at short. Hennery is said to
have a standing offer from Ban
Johnson.
Johnny Evers has succeeded
Frank Chance as chief of the
bogged-down Cub machine, and all
John has to do to make a big hit is
to get a new shortstop, outfield and
pitching staff, and finish first in
1913.
Stovall Takes to Worrying,
Roger Bresnahan is quite natur
ally uttering shrill, flutellko notes
over his summary dismissal at St.
Louis, but It is said that the Great
Hen Pecked has been offered the
St. Louis Browns As Chance is
also alleged to have been tendered
the same Job, George Stovall has
something to think about o’ nights.
Tim Si. Louis Cardinal schedule Is
for Miller Huggins to relieve thje
Rajah, unless the Duke of Bucking
ham gets relief from some court.
George Stallings has eased him
self into a situation without any
great disturbance, although It Is
said Johnny Kling went away from
