PLAYERS UNION RAISES THE
, WRATH OF BASEBALL MOGULS
'NEW YORK, Marc'll 12. 011 where, i
oh whore, has the players’ union
gone?
'Last fall it was thought that by
now there would be some sort otf a ]
union at least, with the band shout
ing, "One for all, all tor one.”
It seems, however, that the project,
evefi as the Players’ Fraternity, has
fallen through. The fraternity got 1
started, butt the union did not even
get that tar. apparently.
Magnates Banded
And the magnates, sensing danger, j
have gone ahead and banded and
are ready to fight.
Tho unconditional release of1
"Stuffy” M'dnnis of the Cleveland :

the magnates as « horrible example 1
of a player who insists on a salary

LONDON, March 12.—.College nth- j
ldtes In England do not train so i
strictly for 'big evonts ns those in !
the United States. At Oxford, where j
the crew is 'busy every day prepdr
lng for the Cambridge race, the oars
men do not have to shun the delights
of drink and tobacco. Cigarettes are i
discouraged, but not forbidden, and I
pipes are allowed to glow after,
meals.
Drinking is all right as long as 1
It is moderate. Last year the stud j
ents of Oxford paid $7,51)0 to keep j
tho crews in training at Putney for,
the last three weeks before the race,
and the 'balance sheet disclosed that
tho wine 'bill amounted to $450 and j
the beer /bill to $175.
The coach believes in plenty of
food, but tho 'boys In the boat have
to forego cream puffs and pastry
just as do American athletes.

If there wore a players' union, a
highly 'interesting battle might event
uate, but Without a solid front the
magnates soetn to have what is pic
turesquely known in the gun country
as the “drop on them.”
Tho 'first thing the magnates did
was to give a strong intimation to
players likely to be canlidates for
office in the union that they might
get in wrong.
“We don't mind you joining, but
don't be active,” was about it from
the 'magnates. And If one is not
active what is the use o.f joining?
Baseibntl is ruled by an iron hand
from 'the magnates from ail indica

announced that every good boy who
was willing to earn or.e-third of the
expense of the trip could go to
Alaska with him, provided th.s
boy’s parents would contribute an
other third.
“I will let you have the remain

and teaches them thrift.
Mr. Buchanan wi.. he in person l

room where varying pressure wa.
used in an effort to bring his body
hack to normal.
Ho was kopt jn the air chamber
under heavy pro sure for nearly six
hours, but tllo sudden change In
