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. Only Once Wa s There a. Strike. 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 l i ' . . . —■_ !'■; ijj.- 111 11 11 ■ 1— iij From and After This Date Our TELEPHONE NUMBERS Are BELL, MAIN i 4QQQ ATLANTA j vv v i BOTH PRIVATE BRANCH EXCHANGES In Charge of TRAINED WOMEN OPERATORS For Baggage Wagons ’ T|||S NUMBER Motor Gars and Cabs f == ===== ATLANTA BAGGAGE i CAB CO.

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 tion whatever, so far as th© writer knows, of demands as to salary in crease was made, except by some of the Detroit players while on strike last May, and then only in directly.

That’s picking up some, particularly in a desperate burg like Mobile. Hugh Duffy and William Clymer are the candidates to succeed George Stallings . I»s manager of the Buffalo club. The wise guys are betting on Clymer to land. Lefty George, of the Toledo team, has been seriously sick with appendicitis at Turk, Pa. This appendicitis is getting awfully popular with ball players. Bill Fisher, the Louisville first baseman, is playing in the San Diego team during the winter season. He also has a nice cigar business at Pasadena, Cal. Also he has a bank account. • • • Kocker, a Detroit recruit, has been sent to the Providence team to take the place of Gabby Street, who will go to Chatta nooga. « * * If participation in world's series are for bidden by the commission from writing for the press they will be saved the hu miliation of having to swallow a lot of punk predictions. » » » Larry Schlafly had a one-year contract with Jersey City this year and will es cape.

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. natl that Horace Fogel has been made the victim of Charley Murphy, that Horace jumped on the umpires at Murphy’s sug gestion and that now Cholly will desert him and allow the the National league to kick him out. Well, anyway, that’s one debt of gratitude the N. L. will owe Noisy Charles. • • * Ever hear of an umpire having any luck? Well, note this year what Rigler has done.

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.
