Southern Performers and Those in All Other Circuits Should Be Enrolled BASEBALL ‘UNION’ NEEDS MINOR LEAGUE PLAYERS Bv W. S. Farnsworth. WHEN the Detroit baseball players “struck” last sum mer because Ty Cobb, of Georgia, had been suspended for heating up a rowdy spectator In New York, they launched the Players Baseball Fraternity, an organiza tion that is now struggling to get a foothold. But whether this “union” Is going to amount to anything de pends entirely on the limitations of Its membership. [f the "union” Is to consist only „f major league players. I look for It 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. A wise scheme for the new or ganization would be to have an open membership to every player in organized baseball. At least, players in every league down to and Including class B should be en rolled. Otherwise tha Baseball Players Fraternity will cut about as much toe as did Doc Cook after his al leged North Pole discovery had seen exposed, Such moves ae this are recurrent. About once in every baseball gen eration, if the financial condition of the game warrants it, the players have come forward with demands for reforms, chief among which has always boon the request for a ,anger proportion ol the emoluments of baseball. Only Once Was There a Strike. But once, in 1890, did the players endeavor to enforce their demands by actually going on strike, but that is all that differentiates the Brotherhood revolt from the Union association movement of 1884 and the Players Protective association of 1900. The first of these movements, the Union association of 1884. though frankly 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 Brotherhood movement of six years later was the most se rious attempt on part of the play ers to control the financial end of baseball yet made. Prior to the revolt the organization had been limited altogether to players under contract to National league clubs. When the men went out they look with them many of the stars of 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 heap. Protective Asa'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 rnad scramble after fat contracts. Tlje present organization asks openly for the better protection of rhe players while on the field. There can be no objection to that. They have not ae yet demanded From and After This Date Our TELEPHONE NUMBERS Are BELL, MAIN 1 AQOO ATLANTA J T www BOTH PRIVATE BRANCH EXCHANGES In Charge of TRAINED WOMEN OPERATORS _ ■ For Baggage Wagons I gflQ JHIS NUMBER Motor Cars and Cabs 1 == =_ =__ ATLANTA BAGGAGE & CAB CO.

HAAS, Secretary and T.easurar tepresentation on the national com mission, as it was announced they would when the association first took definite shape last September, but this demand may be forthcom ing later. 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 showp 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 the 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 heud 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. nati 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.

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 al! 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 stating that Josephus will horn the ex-ump 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 Flank Chance as chfcf 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, fiutelike 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 is for Miller Huggins to relieve the Rajah, unless the Duke of Bucking ham gets relief from some court. George Stallings has eased hinri self Into a situation without any great disturbance, although it is said Johnny Kling went away from GRAND SUBfRBKEITN Ma’lnw Iod»' UHMIVU VAUOEVULE TenlgM at S3a Lilian Harkin,Primc Donna Star nau y W.
