SCHOOLBOY SEVENS TO PLAY TWO GAMES The Superba hold-out list has been reduced to ten players, according to the latest returns from Ebbets Field.

Five of Boss Ebbets' mutineers have afllxed their signatures to Brooklyn contracts, it is claimed, despite the assertions of Davy Fultz that the Fraternity will stock together. Two of these signers, it Is claimed, are regulars who helped to win the National League pennant in 1916; the other three are young men secured in the draft last fall from the minors. For obvious reasons the names of the quintet are withheld. With the six players who have hold-over contracts for 1917, Ebbets now has eleven players for tho coming campaign. He insists that he will have enough and to spare for a real battle for the pennant as there are many good minor leaguers anxious to get into the big show, and he will 1( tne necessity requires.

Meanwhile Peter Bennett Mitchell, advance agent of the Brooklyn club, is In the West drumming up interest in the coming exhibition tour of the buperbas and Red Sox. His latest report is from Kansas City, and it is highly encouraging, although the same may bo said of all the towns visited. But Kansas City Is the big noise because the two native sons, Zacn Wheat and Casey Stengel are expected to play with the Brooklyns.

Mitchell has succeeded In inducing the Mayors of the various towns to declare a half holiday on the days thO tWO maior lpfle-Ua rhamnlnn. whereat he grinned and remarked, "I don't see us that would do any As a mutter of fact, however, the president of the fraternity has full knowledge of the requirements needed to Join the American Federation of Labor. The Interviewer caught him off his guard just once and in this wise: "The dues, you know, Mr. Fultz, will be at first 9 cents per man per year, but each year there will be additional fees amounting to $2 or less." "What's that?" said Fultz as he jerked forward in his chair (he had been leaning back with his hands behind his head.) "I understood that the dues would be only a few cents a year. What is the extra money for?" The F.agle man was unable to throw any light on that, whereat Fultz remarked: "Then we are paying il or less each year for the privilege of having a charter; is that it?" "What do you mean, 'you are paying' Have you been granted a charter already?" Fultz retired to his shell and adroitly changed the conversation by showing The Eagle man a telegram from Vic Saler, denying that he had signed with the Cubs, as Weeghman had announced yesterday morning.

Fultz then refused to be led back to any talk about the fraternity, but the public can be satisfied that the clever president of the players' organization knows Just where he is at. It Is believed, although no definite confirmation could be made, that Fultz and the White Rats have been in communication a number of times this week. Neither would have anything to say about that, however. Hockey Double Header Will Be Decided at Brooklyn Rink Tonight. the trouble of the sporting world complete.

Ora Morningstar and Kojl Yamada came to town last night for a series of exhibitions at John Schreiner's Academy, 1213 Fulton street, and they were brimful of harsh words over what they term the rough-house methods Champion Willie Hoppe la bringing into the royal game. At least, Morningstar has taken up the cudgels and the little Jap passively agrees with what his teammate says, Hoppe started the row recently, when, after declaring that he could beat any of his rivals with one hand tied behind his back, Issued a challenge to play Morningstar and Yamada together at the same time for $5,000 a side. "If Hoppe means business with that ridiculous challenge, why don't he put up the money," said Morningstar, as he chalked bis cue, preparatory to entertaining a large gathering of Brooklyn billiard lovers with some excellent performances. "Nobody ever issues a challenge, If he's sincere, without backing it up with the cash. Yamada and I have accepted the deft, not because we want to play that kind of a match, but to prove that Hoppe, however great a bllliard-ist ho is, cannot humiliate us.

And, mind you, I'm not so sure that he can beat me single handed. Jt's two years since we played, and I haven't forgotten the game. "It's a shame to bring rough-house methods into the great sport of billiards," continued Morningstar, heatedly. "Hoppe has been going around the country saying that he can beat anybody with one hand tied behind his back, and finally that he could defeat Yamada and myself playing together. We're ready, but we haven't seen the color if his money yet." "Maybe it's all press agent stuff, Schoolboy hockey teams will take President Charles H.

The little Jap was not in form last night. He tried to speed up after Morningstar Jumped off with a lead of 69 and thereby lost control of his stroke. Of a nervous temperament, Yamada doubtless was affected by the decision of Referee Morris S.

Brown on Morningstar's opening shot. It was a close decision and Yamada was up and ready to play, while Morningstar started to walk away. "You can't fool me on a shot like that. It counted, all right," said the ex-national amateur champion. "Go ahead, Ora." Yamada did not show by the flicker of an eyelash that he disagreed with the referee, but his playing seemed to indicate something of the sort.

Only when he attempted masse shots, at which he is considered the most expert In the world, did the Jap display his usual ability. One of these was a masse draw in which the cue ball hit the first object ball, moved ahead an inch or two and then shot back half the length of the table as though tied to an elastic band. It counted all right and the crowd drew its breath in amazement. They marveled some more later when, after Morningstar had won the match by 300 to 145, the Jap gave some exhibitions of fancy masse shots. He made the cue ball cut all sorts of didoes, from long crescent trips across the table to funny little pirouettes in the corners.

His best was a masse in which the cue ball hit the red, then danced back and forth twice In the corner, making four cushions, carromlng off the white. "Now elnse, zwei, drle, fere," the Jap with a smile as he jammed down on the cue ball and It cut the capers described above. The spectators laughed at the little brown-eyed Asian's German accent, though he showed that he knew English very well by describing his shots. Morningstar gave an exhibition of three, four and five cushion carrom shots that opened the eyes of the three-cushion fiends present and also gave a lesson In the art of drawing for position that was of value to the balk-line enthusiasts. The ex-champion is a fine student of the game, knows how to express himself well and his lecture proved instructive.

Boys High has been slow to round f- The Baseball rinyers' Fraternity Is going to have a much easier time joining the American Federation of Labor than was indicated when the announcement that the players would become adjuncts of the White Rats was made exclusively In last Sunday's Eagle. This fact developed In a talk yesterday with Harry Mountford, secretary and treaHurer of the White Eats Actors' Union of America at the clubhouse, 227-229 West Forty-sixth street, Manhattan. It also developed that the poor, downtrodden ball players will havo to pay some additional dues to the $12 they hand out to the fraternity annually. This latter fact is bound to bring forth cries of anguish from the diamond athletes, and they can bo pictured, tears rolling down their seamed cheeks, as they dig down to add their bit to the A. F.

of L. treasury. Incidentally, one David Fultz was more or less suprised to learn that the dues to the federation would be more than 9 cents per man per year, the surprise indicating that David has made an exhaustive study of this phase of the question. Also, David knows Harry Mountford, who is an officer of the International White Rats, and Francis Gilmour, who is one of the officials of the New York local. Mountford was asked yesterday just what the dues the ball players would have to pay, and what tne status of the fraternity would be when it Joined the White Rats.

"The first thing," he said, strutting up and down with his hands in the armholes of his waistcoat, for Mountford is first of all an actor, and then an executive, "would be the payment of 9 cents per man per year to the American Federation of Labor. After that the dues would amount to less than $2 per man per year. I don't know exactly how much less, because that is a matter to be arranged with the ball players," Fraternity Must Affiliate With the White Rata. "Is it true that the printers, the patternmakers and the rest of the unions can bar, by their dissenting votos, the entrance of the ball players to the federation?" was asked. "Of course not," said Mountford, with an expressive wave of his hands.

"Why should they have anything to say about an organization of public entertainers? Just a minute," and stepping to the door, he said to one of the clerks: "Let me have a copy of the A. F. of L. Constitution and a copy of our own constitution." Receiving them, he returned to the interviewer, opened each book and said: "The American Federation of Labor Constitution says: 'No charter shall be granted to any national, international, trade or Federal labor union without a positive and clear definition of the trade jurisdiction claimed by the applicant, and the charter shall not be granted if the Jurisdiction claimed is a trespass on the jurisdiction of the existing affiliated unions, without the written consent of such unions. Then turning to the constitution of his own organization, Mountford read: The White Rats Actors Union of America, Incorporated, and its branch organizations, claim the right of Jurisdiction over all actors and actresses, whether legitimate, lyceum, circus, cabaret, vaudeville, Chautauqua, burlesque, motion picture, stage managers, directors, assistant directors or stage managers, or any other entertainers of the public, irrespective of religion, race or nationality, who are now and have been working or performing or entertaining or lecturing within the United States.

Mountford then proceeded to make this clear: "By reading both of those excerpts," he remarked, lighting a cigarette, "it can easily be seen that the White Rats have been given complete control over all entertainers of the public. There is no question that baseball players are in this class. Now the question is: Can the baseball players obtain a separate charter from the Federation, or must they become an adjunct of the International White Rats Union? "By reading carefully the excerpt from the Federation charter," he continued, "you can see that it says: 'No charter shall be granted where the Jurisdiction claimed trespresses on the Jurisdiction of any other existing affiliated "Now what does that mean?" asked Mountford. The Interviewer didn't know. "That means," and the secretary, who had been pacing around a long table during the talk, stopped, placed both hands on the table top and leaned toward the questioner, "that means that the baseball players will havo to join the International White Rats.

Our Jurisdiction is over public entertainers and there can be no other organization In the Federation with the same jurisdiction. Just Liko One More State Joining the Union. "There are at present thirty organizations of public entertainers attached to the International White Rats, and the Fraternity will be the thirty-first. It is simply like one more State Joining the Union. They do not need to use our clubhouses In Chicago, Boston, St.

Louis, Cleveland, Detroit and New York, nor do they need to use our attorneys, and by thus segregating themselves they will reduce their dues to a minimum. If, however, they make use of the facilities we provide, then their dues will be proportionately larger. But as the matter stands now, when they join, they will merely contribute a nominal sum to the Federation, and will be still a separate organization, retaining, should they wish, their original name the Baseball Players Fraternity." At this point the interviewer interrupted Mountford, who had trailed off into a discussion of the squabble the White Hats are having with the Managers Protective Association, an organization not affiliated with the A. F. of to ask about the financial and membership status of the White Rats.

"It has been suggested." said The Eagle man, "that the White Rats are on their last legs, financially speaking, and that they would more than welcome the ball players into the fold on account of the financial uplift given the movement. Is this true?" "I told you a minute ago," snapped Mountford, "that there are thirty organizations making up the lnterna-tlon White Rats of America. That Includes bicycle riders, motorcyclists, vaudeville actors and lecturers. Every one of them is heart and soul with this organization. There is not a word of in the rumor whatsoever." "Good-bye," said The Kaglo man.

The sixth went to Callahan, who landed some telling blows and forced the fighting throughout the round. The remaining four went to Leonard, who flashed a brand of footwork rarely seen in the roped arena.

Callahan received a wonderful ovation for a loser on leaving the ring, and certainly deserved it, for it was due solely to his wonderful aggressiveness that the fans were treated to a fight worth while. Leonard was greeted with a combination of cheers and catcalls, but he should have been given more credit for entering the ring with such a slam-bang artist as Callahan, suffering as he was a bad left hand. Unless Leonard develops a little more of the lighting spirit of a Terry McGovern he will never bo a world's champion, as he only fights at intervals, being content lo win solely on points, a la Freddie Welsh. In the preliminaries joe Fitzsim-mons and Frankie Delmar fought a tedious four-round draw. Paddy Me-Girr, a colored exponent of the manly art, whom Joe Humphries was very particular to state hailed from Cincinnati, easily outpointed Johnny Kagan.

McGIrr looked like a ringer, and showed more ability than the average prelim, boy. Joe Mart in and Eddie Gardner evidently did not finish their course of boxing in whatever school Ihey attended, and were subjected to the humiliation of having the fans calling to the referee to take them off.
