I THREATEN STRIKE
; Fraternity Warns Organized
J Ball No Training Camps
, if Demands Not Met.
' EXPELS MAN WHO YIELDED
; New York. Jan. 12. The Base Ball
Players' fraternity, through its presi
J dent, David L. Fultz, today threw
2 down the gauntlet to organized ball
and declared that unless the mag-
nates agreed to the requests of the
1 fraternity there would be no need of
J training camps this spring.
J As evidence of the earnest intent
1 of the fraternity to fight for what it
terms its just rights, the organiia-
tion announced that it had expelled
Pitcher Harry F. Sallee from mem,-
bership because he had signed a con-
tract with the New York National
J League club after he had promised
that he would stand with the fratern-
ity until given the word that would
I permit of a contract aceeptancc.
! Stands Discredited.
J "Sallee was a member of the fra
f ternity and voluntarily pledged him
i self with between COO and 700 other
f players not to enter into a contract
J until he was instructed to do so, after
our requests to organized base ball
J had received proper consideration,"
t said Fultz. As no consideration has
I been given our requests to the board,
J and as Sallee acted in direct viola
s' tion of his pledge, he was expelled
i from the fraternity, today.
J "Sallee ' now stands discredited
among ball players as a man who
broke his word.
I "TJiis board," said Fultz, "has vio
ls lated its agreement with us. It is
How a case of continuing to accent
; breaches of their contracts and sub-.
mining to unfair regulations or talk-
ing in terms which the board under
t stands. We believe it will under-
stand this, that if it continues its
present methods, organized ball is in
for one of the greatest surprises it
has ever had, in its existence.
Can't Diagnose Temper.
"The magnates have failed utterly
to diagnose the temper of the play-
j crs. When players who have had no
4 affiliation with the fraternity volun-
tcer to stand with us because we are
rieht. when the meetings held so far
4 in the large cities have had full at-
1 tendances, when for a period of nearly
three weeks from ten to twenty-five
t letters and telegrams daily have been
J received at this office from players,
among whom are many of the bright
stars of the game, demanding that
we stand for our rights, it can be
- seen which way the wind is blowing.
"We admit our weakness on the
J two New York clubs; but this is be-
cause of long term contracts and not
', , because of any hike warmness on the
nart of these players. There arc,
however, ten and probably eleven big
league clubs, which will need no
J training camps. The international
league will not be able to recruit out
sixth of its strength, the Southern
association, about that much and the
I American association about - one-
quarter."
Central High Stock Goes Up
; With Return of "Turk" Logan
"Turk" Logan appeared in a suit at
the Central High school basket ball

til Logan is eligible to play, Ciller

evening.
. The preliminary games between

AUTO MEN FACE
ACUTEPROBLEM
More Demand for Show Space
Than Can Be Provided in
Auditorium. -
DEALERS TACKLE TASK
Clarke G. Powell, manager of the
Omaha Automobile show, is con
fronted by a most serious problem
and he has called in the dealers to
help him solve the difficulty. The
trouble is that from twelve to fif
teen more dealers want space at the
show this year than were accom
modated last year, when all the space
was used.
How to meet this problem is caus
ing plenty of worry. Dealers of the
west have come to look upon the
Omaha show as a corker, where
every type of auto which is of any
value to the westerners is displayed.
They have long realized that there is
no use for them to go to the New
York or Chicago show, because they
can do all the business they want and
secure all the cars they need right
at the Omaha exhibition.
Space, Space, Space.
Automobile men met at the Com
mercial club at noon to,-figure out
some way of securing more space.
One move which has already been
made is the elimination of tractors
from the basement. This will give
more room for the trucks, of which
there are an added number this year.
In fact, all the basement space is
now spoken for.
To care for pleasure cars is the next
problem. With the twelve to fifteen
new dealers who Want space more
room must be provided or the dealers
will each have to take less space. This
the dealers do not want to do, as all
want to show all the models possible.
Mr. Powell says that if he had twice
the space at his disposal he could
easily rent it.
One plan under consideration is to
build a floor across the Auditorium
on a level with the lower scats of the
balcony, as was done at the corn
show, i The trouble with this would
be in making the floor strong enough
to carry the load of autos and people.
Another scheme being considered is
to ask the city commissioners to va
cate Fifteenth street in front of the
Auditorium for show week and then
to house over Fifteenth street, as was
done at the land show. These prob
lems will have to be worked out
quickly, as the time is drawing near,
the show being scheduled for the last
of next month.
Mr. Powell saiys that the show this
year will be just as comprehensive
an exhibition as will he held any
where in the entire country.
Seals Organize to Boost

tains the names of Omaha's most
widely known swimmers, such as

champion; Hart Jenks, William
Westlund, Basil Cummins, Douglas
Mclcher, E. P, Woodcook and jack
Yates.

twenty yards in a creditable man
ner, twenty yards on his back, plunge

The feature of the bill is a state

the tax must be paid on every ship

bers of the house, appointed Messrs.
Greenwalt of Custer, Craddock of
Douglas and Stearns of Scotts Bluff.
In the senate the lieutenant governor
appointed Tanner of Douglas, Bushee

Bill to Merge Suburbs
With City of Omaha
(l'"rom a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Jan. 12. (Special.) A bill
introduced today by the Douglas
county delegation in the house and
by Senator Moriarity in the senate
known as H. R. bi and S. F. 20 seeks
to remedy a defect which existed in
the Greater Omaha bill of two years
ago, which caused the cities of Flor
ence and Benson to be left out of that
bill, and which will now enable those
places to become a part of the greater
city.
The bill seeks to create one more
commissioner for the city and so
remedies the law which prevented
those cities from coming in two years
ago.
The bill will enable the city com
mission to embrace the territory be
tween Omaha and these suburban
towns and then by action of the com
mission annex the towns. No election
will need to be held.
