NEW YORK, Oct. 10.—Any at
tempt on the part of baseball mag
nates to slash wholesale at contracts
terminating this year will be strongly
opposed by the Players’ fraternity,
David L. Fultz, president of the or
ganization, declared today in an inter
view with the United Press.
Plans already have been made to
combat such an attempt, but Fultz
refused to make public the outline of
battle.
The Fraternity expects the mag
nates to make some attempt ,to cut
salaries, which were boosted when
the Federal league was causing so
much trouble. Since then many of
the stars whose salaries went to high
marks have faltered and are now do
ing no shining at all. In spite of this
the big pay is going right along and
most of it on long term contracts.
Most contracts have salaries stipu
lated in them while others do not.
Some of them merely quote salaries
for one year, with a provision that
the following year shall see the same
salaries paid while still others quote
salaries for one year with no provi
sion for the other years at all.
It is at this point, Fultz said, where
the most of the trouble will come. All
the contracts contain the reserve
clause, which holds players over for
the club another year. Where the re
serve mentions the player’s' salary
and an attempt is made to make a
radical reduction, the Fraternity is
going to take a hand. It will not
stand for indiscriminate slashing.
Fultz said that many times mag
nates have attempted to tear up old
contracts which bound them to good
salaries for players and to execute
new ones with smaller sums stipu
lated.
“We always have recourse to the
commission in cases like this,” he
said, “and in every instance the com
mission has ordered the club to live
up to its old contract. It does not
like to see a club try to abrogate an
old contract.”
I Fultz admitted there is no hope for
i those players whose contracts are ex
! piring and who have lived oil' the fat
of their reputations since the Feder
als went to pieces. They are entitled
to unconditional releases, he said, if
waivers are obtained, and that is the
best that can be done for them.

LONDON, Oct. 10.—(By Mail)—
The armored cars or “tanks” as they
are called, which walk through stone
walls and over trenches, are far from
being a new idea in warfare. ’Way
back in 1854, an inventor named James
Cowen, constructed a “tank” similar to
those now in use on the British front,
except that it was propelled by steam
instead of gasoline.
Cowen described his invention as a
“land and sea lomocotive steam ram
and battery.” It was capable, so he
told Lord Palmerston, them premier,
of effectively annihilating cavalry and
infantry and crushing artillery batter
ies. Unfortunately, the authorities
refused to build or help build any of
the machines, much to Cowen’s dis
may.
The inventor was so enraged over
the government’s refusal of his plans
that he issued a pamphlet telling the
public of his wonderful death-dealing
machine and of the pettiness of the
men in power at that time. The pam
phlet, reprinted in London papers to
day, shows Cowen’s juggernaut, a
heavily armored locomotive belching
fire from guns fore and aft. In bold
lettering over the picture Cowen says:
“submitted to Lord Palmerston and
his colleagues and by them submitted
to a select committee of the most ex
perienced veterans of the age—sup
posed to be (?) but in reality washed
out old Women and senile Old Tabbies
at Woolwich whither 1 caused the ma
chine, models, plans, etc., to be convey
ed, mark—at my own expense.
“For Johnny Bull is a craven ahimal
after his truly Beloved God—Money;
and never parts with it willingly, but
freely allows himself to be robbed of
it by his rulers and taskmasters while
he dozily dreams of his Freedom and
Liberty; and this Idol of Lucre he has
obtained only after wading ankle deep
in blood all over the world—and this is
his greatness.”
Cowen asserts in a note at the bot
tom of his pamphlet that the select
committee of veterans refused to con
sider his plans because the ram could
not be officered by a host of poor re
lations of the Upper Ten Thousand
“supported by half -starved serfs.” He
was undoubtedly venting his spleen
upon men who refused to consider
such an advanced idea for those days.
The refusal stands out in bold con
trast to the lightning action of the
present-day authorities who enthusias
tically furthered the pi'oject for the j
new armored car.
