New York December 4. In his annual report to the Baseball Players Fraternity directors President David L. Fultz says the organization now in its fourth year is growing in strength and can still benefit its members. He notes Philadelphia and Cleveland Americans are not in the frater nity and Chicago Americans show little interest yet the fraternity has strong representation in other major leagues and full strength in the Southern Association except Mobile.

Since October 1 1915 the executive reports 540 cases of advice given to players.
