RESIGNATION NOT ACCEPTED Players Cannot Leave Fraternity on' Own Volition is Davy’s Latest Or- der—Magnates Are Amused. New York, Feb. 3.—Davil L. Fultz, president of the Baseball Players’ Fraternity, announced yesterday that the resignation from the union ot Jack Enright, of the Yankees, would not be accepted. “Enright cannot withdraw of his own volition,” declared the Fraternity head. “It is not done in fraternal soclety, you see. He, as all the other members, agreed to abide by the con- stitution and bylaws of the organiza- tion, and therefore cannot resign. He broke no pledge in signing his 1917 contract and has committed no breach that would leave him liable Too BAD DIDN'T HAVE MY BRASSIE I WouLD Now BE oM THE GREEMN You ARE IN COMMITTING THIS, — AND THIS AFTER The BY BRIGGS u can't Do ANYTHING wWiTy OUT YoUuR MASHIE - | SHOULD HAVE BEEN RIGHT UP To THE PIN oN THAT SHOT PERFECTLY JUSTIFIED THEY CAN'T ARREST You FOR THAT, Copyrighted 1917 by The Tribune Assoc.

So far Berrv has a number to his credit, with more in sight. In addition to making good in track and field of sports, Berry was Penn’s best football player last fall. to expulsion. he cannot resign.” May Be Kicked Out. Mr. Fultz would not hazard an opinion as to what action would be taken when 1t came time for Enright to pay his dues. It is not belteved Davey would care to pay the assess- ments of all the delinquents, zealous as he is to retain the greatest pos- sible membership. It would seem that the president is desirous of keep- ing Enright in gooG sranding until such time as the Yankee pitcher's delinquencies put him in a position to be kicked out. Fultz’s refusal to entertain En- right’s resigration furnished a good laugh to the magnates. But, I assure you, Last summer Berry won the title of intercollegiate all around champion, and many experts believe he is the greatest of all collegiate champions. He is more than anxious to meet Alva Brundage, who won the national all around title at Newark last year, for the title of the great all around ath- lete in this country.

New Brunswick, Feb. 5.—The Rut- gers football season of 1917 has been underwritten by Leonor F. Loree, president of the Delaware & Hudson railroad, and John W. Mettler, presi- dent of the Interwoven Hosiery com- pany, for $6,000. This is somewhat ,less than the estimated receipts for the season. There will be no increase in the budget for 1917 over that of the pre- vious season. In past years it has been impossible to raise such a sum by gate receipts, as the Rutgers stands were inadequate, but grandstands have been greatly creased.

TRUNKS We are not to carry Trunks THEREFORE 1-4 off Regular Price 31st Annual Sale Continues on OVERCOATS CRISIS MAY EFFECT BASEBALL PLAYERS Cubs’ Owner Predicts Salary Re- duction and no Southern Trips - Chicago, Fob. 3—That ball ‘Dlayets will be among the first to fecl the ef- fect of the present tense situation in this nation’s foreign affairs was lhe statement made yesterday by Presi- dent Weeghman of the Cubs who add- ed that those who have come under the wire with signed contracts may consider themselves lacky. A cut all along the line for those who have not already come to terms is among the certainties. he says, should there be a break in relations between this coun- try and any other. That the spring training trips may also be wiped off the slate is not improbable, too, un- less conditions should change for the . better. “T can say that those ball players who already have signed for next sea- son may consider themselves lucky,” said Mr. Weeghman. “There will be changes in the contracts to be sent out from now on, as conditions in this country hegin to look a little rocky for baseball. I am closely watching special train to California, but if war should be declared or diplomatic relations be severed between the United States und some other country, T am going to pull in ray horrs. I am not going to be caught for any more outlay than I can help. “There is no question that t'ie men who have come to terms have all the advantage of the owners, as I think that had the foreign complications come a short time ago there would have heen some substantial euts in the Just at present |'it looks like a tough haseball season the | the trip of the Giants to Mar in~' Of course, the present trouble may blow over, but, believe me, I am keep- ing my ears to the ground for any un- favorable toirn. “It will have to be economy all long the line for the baseball owners. Yo sooner does the tension due to the players’ strike talk lessen than it in- creases for a more important cause. T have not feared the strike of the play ers at any time, but it will be different should business be affected by war, or even the rumor of war. Of ccurse, 1 do not helieve for a mintte that ba: ball will be abandoned, even for one season, but it might be hard sledding for all of us, and I already have start- ed to take in sail.” Baseball owners figured that, having | escaped bankruptey during the last two vears, their troubles were over. and, with lower salarfes in force next vear, they expected to recoup to a certain extent. With a scrious turn in this country’s international rela- tions, the chances are that several . would suggest abandoning the south- ern training trips, which would save a lot of money and would not hurt much in the long run, as these trips have been considered b many to be not entirely necessary. The most expensive trip of them all is scheduled for the Cubs, who have been slated to train at Pasademu, Cul. ! It is figured that this journey, with | the special train and all Incidentals, will entail an outlay of $14,000, an amount which even in peaceful times s quite a chunk of money. The White Sox trip to Mineral Wells is likely to mean an expenditure of $10,000, while n, Tex- as, will cost about as much the Cubs’ journey. \ | WHITMAN TALKS " Executive Blames Men Sports Rather Than Pugilists in His Stand For Repeal of Frawley Law. Conducting New York, Feb. 3.—Governor Whit- man, while in this city vesterday, was asked to express his opinion on the boxing situation. The import of the governor's comment, which may be (taken as at least in part the reason | for his move to have the Frawley law , repealed, was that he had no objection to boxing but to the men who have been conducting the game. The govs ernor said: “The boxing situation has not been what it should have been for a y.ar It is my personal opinion that the fault has not been so much with those who have been in the ring as those who have been sitting in chairs. To my mind there has been more brur tality in the chairs than in the ving. ‘While therc may be some decent peo- ple attending the bouts at preseat I believe the m In the capital the other night was killed and the entire show was per- mitted to go on. I am not against boxing, but I am certainly against exhibitions of that kind.' I have made my recommendatipn and it is up to the legislature to' take the course it sees fit. Asked what he thought of the at- tempt to put into effect legalized bet- ting cn the race tracks by means of pari-mutuel system, the governor said: “I cannot understand the talk about that in view of the fact that gambling 1s prohibited by our constitution, -nd any bill, such as the suggested oie would be unconstitutional. In order to have it legalized there would aave to be a special amendment, which | would have to go hefore the people.”” TO FRCTEST REPEAL.
