1. 1. HOUSTON DAILY POST. THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 15, 1917. PLAYERS' STRIKE.

IS CALLED OFF Agreement of National League President to Withhold Discrimination Resulted in Action by Fultz. Press Report.) NICW YORK, Feb. There will be no strike of baseball players this year. This ending of a long controversy was assured when President David R. Fults of the Baseball Players Fraternity issued here the following statement! to the unfair position in which the major league owners have been placed in the present baseball, controversy between owners and players, the fraternity has submitted to the owners the following proposal: "To release all players from their pledges not to sign contracts upon' the understanding that the owners will not discriminate against fraternity players nor discipline them for their loyalty to the fraternity in observing their pledges." Early in the day Manager McGraw of the New York Nationals and President Fultz held a long conference, at which the fraternity executive said that if he was assured that the members of the players fraternity would not be discriminated against Anancially or by the major league owners, he would release the men from their pledges.

McGraw immediately went to see President Tener of the National league and after the situation had been explained to him, Tener said; "You can assure Mr. Fultz that I give my word of honor as the president of the National league that the National league will not discriminate in any way, shape or manner against any ball player 'because of his connection with the fraternity." Upon receiving this statement from President Tener, McGraw declared to several newspaper representatives: "I feel perfectly justified in announcing that to all intents and purposes the strike is off in so far as it affects -the National When President. Johnson of the American league here later in the day to: attend the annual schedule meeting of his the league taken Thursday, by he was Informed Tener and in reply to the question as to whether he would give similar assurance, he said: far as the fraternity is concerned, we will give no assurance. All of our I players look alike to us. Fully 86 per already have signed.

If they come along to the training. camps, well and good. is all the assurance the American league will give. President Johnson called attention to clause which, he said, was contained In all 1917 major league contracts, providing that players would not suffer discrimination because they belonged to the fraternity. Chairman Herrmann of the national baseball commission stated that there was a clause in all the major league contracts for 1917 which protected the players from discrimination on account of membershin in.

the fraternity. and both of the major league presidents also called attention to this fact. The American league's schedule meeting will be held here Thursday, but it WAS announced Wednesday that there would 'be no session of the joint committee and the pennant race of 1917, therefore, will be decided under the rules which governed the struggle last season. The National league magnates finished their session late Wednesday, leaving the playing schedule for. -1917 in the hands of President Tener, who will make it public the last of this week.

No National camp. league club can report 25 this at training before February year. Last year March 1 was the earliest date allowed for beginning training. The National league board of directors WAS Increased from five to eight members, the president of each club being made a director, No player in the league can be released between August 20 and the close of the championship season except through the regular formality the waiver rule. At the meeting there was no mention of the proposed military training of players and no change in the player limit of the clubs was RICE WON FROM T.

C. U. TEAM Owls Took First Basket Ball Game by Score of 37 to 16. Same Teams Play Again Thursday Night. defeated Texas Christian univer-1 unDone Wednesday night at the city audttorium by a score of 37 to 16.

The game. which was slow and almost devold of features, was witnessed by a fair sized crowd. The Christians were touted as one of the strongest aggregations of basket ball tossers in the State, but they failed to live up to this reputation in Houston. At times the visitors showed flashes of brilliance. Like A.

and in the first game with Rice, the Christians tried shots from long distances and difficult angles instead of making a determined attempt to work the ball down under the basket. After the thrill and excitement of the two Texas games, which were replete with tense situations, the contest on Wednesday night came as an anticlimax. City Police Failed To Find Pet Brown An invitation was sent Brown to go LO Rice Institute Wednesday afternoon and deliver a lecture on wrestling as an exercise beneficial to the health. But that was one thing Pet couldn't deliver. He can wrestle for three or four hours without it interfering in the least with his gum chewing, but he can't make a speech live minutes long.

So Dr. E. A. Norton, who is in charge of Pet's schedule for the week, wrote would tha: if the students so desired, Pet go to the institute and demonstrate the holds he uses so successfully. No answer came to the letter, and Dr.

Norton, not wishing to send Brown to the institute and possibly have nobody there to demonstrate before, decined to call the thing. off. About 4:15 Wednesday afternoon Dr. Norton got a call over the phone. "'There's a crowd of us out here to see Pet, but we haven seen him yet, they said.

Dr. Norton explained the matter and said that he would try to find Brown at once. He called every place where. the wrestler would likely hut couldn'traise him. Then he called Allie Anderson, day captain of police, and asked him to help him out.

Captain Anderson immediately sent a call out over the Gamewell system instructing all the patrolmen in City police spent a hard half hour Wednesday afternoon looking for Pet 3rown middleweight wrestling champion they United States, and despite the fact that every patrolman in the vity had orders to get the Taylor man, and most of them knew him by sight. none of them found him. As a result a large number of Rice Institute students were disappointed. and Pet spent the afternoon in a moving picture show, Instead of showing the Rice men how he has won and kept the championship. Here's how it happened: the city to be on the watch for PetBrown.

Brown, however, had gone to 'a show with his wife and hear that he was "wanted" until it was too late for him to go to the institute. It is possible that he will go out to Rice Institute Saurday afternoon and demonstrate the holds. Thursday afternoon at 2:30 p'clock Brown will give a den nstration to the boys of South Junior high school. Thursday evening he will be present at the formal opening of the Texas Athletic club and will give a demorstration there Thursday morning at o'clock he will take his daily exercise of running.

J. AGNEW, 606 E. Gambier Street, Mt. Vernon, Ohio. This 1s a typical case, and every one who has had- the slightest experience with rheumatism will continue to suffer and grow worse until they are finally practically helpless, unless they realize that the disease must be combatted at its source.

Rheumatism is diseased condition of the blood, the disease attacks the body through the blood, the system can rid of its pains only after the blood has been cleansed of the germs of the disease. Lotions, liniments- and ointments. applied to the surface may in some cases deaden the pain for the time being, but until attack the disease at ita foundation, you are making no progress toward a cure, and you are permitting the trouble to get a firmer hold on your system every day. This one reason why Rheumatism is usually a permanent disease, staying with its victims year after year. Getting rid of the disease is merely a matter of treating It gently.

Knowing that It can not be cured by external applications, it is folly to rely upon' such treatment. 8. 8. 8. is without question the most thorough blood medicine ever made, and it promptly cleanses the blood of every trace of impurity or disease germs.

That is why it never falls to give satisfactory results in even the severest cases of Rheumatism. Being purely vegetable without a particle of mineral or chemical in its composition, it works by eliminating and forcing out of the blood all impurities and cleansing it thoroughly, acting an tonic to the entire system at the same time.
