that he was somewhat surprised when

another Johnson to box. So far he
has defeated two .Jim Johnsons, one
John, one Charles, two Battllngs and
DUB Andrew. The last named, a husky
negro, black as coal and weighing
over 900 pounds, succumbed Jeannette
in the fourth round, when the Ho
boken negro laid him cold with
mighty uppercjlt on the point of the
jaw.
Jeannette is to be rematched with j
Carpentier. the French champion,
whom he defeated recently in a twen-1

heavyweight champion has had seven
bouts with Jeannette. but they all!
took place before Jack won his title.

Joe Tinker's Chifeds look like winners in the new Federal league this
season, although the Baltimore team is a powerfal aggregation, and St.
Louis has a splendid team. Three promising players with the' Chicago
team are Claude Hendrix, pitcher for the Pittsburg Pirates last season, who
is now in mid-season form; Tom McGuire, a young pitcher who is also
showing good form, and Al Wickland, with the" Cincinnati Reds last year
who is now making a fine showing in the outer garden. '
DECISION HELPS
THFJ1PERS
Killifer Injunction Outcome
Makes It Possible for Others
to Return to Original Clubs
WORKS BOTH WAYS
Affidavit Collecting Campaign
of Federals Has Double
Purpose Damage
Hard to Prove
I By Monty)
New- York, April IS - story j3 g0.
ing i he rounds here concprmns
moves being made bj the Federal
league mainati - si a result of the
Kiihfer decision It la said that
hunch of affidavits is being collected
from the several star players who
jumped the old reserve clause of or
ganized b a 1 T. with a view to being
prepared when more advanced stai
are reache.l by the legal battl
the courts of the land.
The outstanding fpature of the
Killifer decision so far as it effects
the immediate present is that It
mikes It possible for other resrsp
i !an8' Jumpers. like the Phillies'
catcher, to return to their original
cJubs under a pretense of fulfilling
I the moral obligation Implied in the
reserve clause, but that, on the other
hand, It allowr, the jumpers to stay
with the Pedfl if they (er,lre to. In
other words, men like Tom Seaton,
Ad Brennan. Otto Knabe, Mik, Doo
lan. Claude t'ooper, Claude Hendrix.
Arthur Wiipon. (- Palkenberg and
Otis I'randall are free to do as they
flog gone please, either stay with the
Pedfl or jump hack that is if their
cases are parallel to that of Killifer.
whivh they Seen to be on the face
of things.
Campaign Has Double Purpose.
The alleged affidavit (electing cam
Deign of the r-eds is supposed to
have a double purpose, it will be
recalled that Judge Sessions at Grand
Rapids refused the Ch cago Feds'
plea for an Injunction against Killifer
on the grounds that the Feds did
not come into court with "clean
hands. " It was because they lured
Killifer, in the opinion of the court,
to leave libs old employers. The
Feds, if engaged In the same kind
ot a legal battle again, want to nrava
1 that the cubes ot the other players
are different. That is purpose num
ber one of the affldivits, which, it Is
said, will tell details of all transac
tions between each player and th
Feds. It is said that the players will
subscribe their names to documents
declaring they petitioned the Feds for
a job. rather than the reverse the
Feds making the advances. Thus,
showing thai the player, not the
league or club, was the aggressor in
the events, that made him a member
of the Fed roster, the Feds think
they will be able to prove in other
similar cases that they are coming
into court "with clean hands"
Now for the second purpose. The
damage suit against the Feds for per
suading players to violate their moral
obligations with their original clubs,
which have been planued by organ
ized baseball men will depend large
ly, it seems, on the ability of the
plaintiffs to prove that the Feds were
the aggressors, the prime movers in
the action. Thus, if the Feds can
prove they did not go after the pla
ers, but that the players made appli
cation for positions, the complexion
of the whole thing is likely to be
changed considerably Affidavits
from all the players who jumped, if
presented to a court in a package,
might go far to establish an opinion 1
las to the methods by which the I-'edR
did business in the signing of their
f men
