Southern Performers and Those in All Other Circuits Should Be Enrolled BASEBALL ‘UNION’ NEEDS MINOR LEAGUE PLAYERS —' I By W. S. Farnsworth. _■» rUEN the Detroit baseball \ \ players “struck” last <um ’ mer because Ty Cobb, of ;ia, had been suspended for ng up a rowdy spectator in New y ,ri< they launched the Players fireball Fraternity, an organiza , that is now struggling to get a id. Rut whether this “union” g.,,.jg to amount to anything de entirely on the limitations of . membership. the "union" is to consist only „ j<>r league players. I look for have a short life. But if the mnd warriors of the Southern, national and American asso nmn are admitted, then it may , ss some power. \ wise scheme for the new' or z.ition would be to have an n membership to every player , n .rganized baseball. At least, players in every league down to and including class B should be en rolled. wise the Baseball Players I rfltiroity will cut about as much ice as did Doc Cook after his al leged North Pole discovery had been exposed. Such moves as this are recurrent. \iH.ut once in every baseball gen atlon. if the financial condition of >ip game warrants it. the players ,ive come forward with demands foi reforms, chief among which ms always been the request for a proportion of the emoluments of baseball. Only Once Was There a Strike. But once, in 1890, did the players .jidcavor to enforce their demands actually going on strike, but ■ii.it is all jLhat differentiates the tlierhood revolt from the Union itition movement of 1884 and Players Protective association nf 1900. Tim first of these movements, the inion association of 1884. though f ankly capitalistic in its organiza tion nevertheless owed a portion ■f its ephemeral success by espous al of the cause of the “downtrod den' players. The Brotherhood movement of six y< irs later was the most se rious attempt on part of the play ers to control the financial end of baseball vet made. Prior to the revolt the organization had been limited altogether to players under ■ miract to National league clubs. When the men went out they ook with them many of the stars ■ f the American association. But ley failed in their effort to control i .iseball mainly because they failed make the league p:> and with i>.eir backers consequently lost Iman a ., t . . . . , , .. Protective Ass'n Was a Joke. 1 Players Protective associa med ten years later, never i: unted to much. Coinciding, as .- organization did. with the war the National and Ameri- •an leagues, the player.- of that day lost sight completely of mu •t'al aid or anything else in the i' >. > ramble after fat contracts I' a present organization asks openly for the better protection of •he players while on the field.

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.

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 their 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.

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 wheel.- of traffic. So . ,r, about half a dozen big league managers have been given the good old raus, with several precincts which arc 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 stating that Josephus will horn the ex-untp out of a fat situation. Presumably Hennery will again don the blue badge of big league 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, flutelike 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. The St. Louis Cardinal schedule 1s for Miller Huggins to relieve the 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 r*O AMD SUBERB KEITH Mallnee Today' UHMIIU VAUDEVILLE Tonight at 1:3B Lilian Harkin,Prirna Donna Star nan v W.
