Carnival Show
Frank Baum, manager of the Phoe

zona liaseball League will bring the
Campbell United Carnival shows here
for a six-day exhibition on the West
Washington street grounds. Raiim's
idea is to make a piece of change for
the baseball clubs, and his original
plan was to get the carnival to show
in Grant park. The council last night
granted the license for the shows.
It will be an effort to put the club
on a self-sustaining basis right at
the start. No club can successfully
fight a deficit, and nobody knows
this better than Baum. A similar
stunt for McKinley is to be looked
for during the Aztec Sun Fete, when
the name of baseball will be boosted
even higher among the. clouds of
publicity.

Joe Levy, manager of Joe Rivers.
who recently lost a decision to Freddy
Welch, blew in yesterday stopped, so
he said, just to shake the hen-house
kej- of Louis H. Jacobs and to breathe
a bit of the old Salt River ozone.
Joe Levy, than whom there is no
more astute handler of boxers in fist
iana, has a lot to sVy about the re
cent bout in which his little brown
skinned battler took a shade from the
English vegetarian.
."On paper it was all Welch." he
said.. "but the ringside fans and those
'in the know' are of the opinion that
Joe Rivers lost little except the de
cision when he met Welch. The fact
is, he outpointed Joe, but he did not
hurt the AJexicnn n any round, and
all that Joe could do with the shifty
Englishman wiusr to chase him. When
he caught him, the foxy Freddy would
hold Rivers until he could dance away.
It was a Marathon or a hugging
match from the tap of the gong, and
Rivers was never able to get his op
ponent to fight. I am not trying to
take away his victory, but the world
knows that little Joe can beat any
hov in the game at his weight. That's
not a statement for press stuff, but is
what I think of his chances. ,
"Rivers can do i33 pounds ringside
and when you say 1:13 ringside, it
means when the step into the ring
not anywhere from six to ten hours
before the fight.
"But I don't want to get accused
of trying to explain why my boy
failed to win, and. besides, I have
something that will interest the fight
fans down this way, if they have been
keeping an eye on the heavyweight
division. I have just signed a con
tract to manage 'Kid Kenneth' of St.
Louis, whom I think one of the most
promising light-heavies in the sport.
"You know, I have always been
strong for the boy with the wallop.
I am a firm believer in the fact that
it is the punch that annexes the most
bacon, and this boy Kenneth has the
poppy pill in either hand.
"He Is a bit green yet, but he is a
willing two-handed fighter, and I am
going to take him along until he is
ready to step forth and shy his cas
ter into the heavyweight arena.
f ASSOCIATED PRBPS DISPATCH 1
GRAND RAPIDS. Mich., March 21.
The first legal shot of the baseball
war of 1914 was fired here today by
the Federal League in filing a pe
tition with the 1'nited States district
court for the western district of
Michigan, asking for an injunction
j to restrain William J. Killiter, Jr.,
formerly catcher ot the rniiuiieipnia
Nationals from playing baseball with
any club other than the Chicago Fed
erals. Killifer signed a tliree-year
contract with the Chicago Federals,
but afterward was persuaded that the
reserve clause in his old contract with I
tiie Philadelphia, club held him legally
to Philadelphia and joined his former
team. The suit involves the legality
of the reserve clause long regarded
i as one ot tne buiwoi us 01 oiganizeu
luiseball. The suit was brought in
the, western Michigan district because
Killifer is a resident of Paw Paw,
Michigan.
After reciting the organization of
the Chicago Federal league baseball
club for the purpose of maintaining a
baseball club, the bill declared, "that
it was necessary to engage the ser
vices of baseball players ot unique
and extraordinary skill and expert
ness, among whom was the defend
ant." Bill Killifer.
The complaint which was signed by
Chas. Weeghman, president of the
Chicago Federal League baseball club,
told of the signing of the contract by
Killifer in which he agreed to play
for three years for the Chicago Fed
erals for a total of $17.i00, or $;',,
S33.33 a year. The contract, a copy
of which was attached to the petition
for an enjoining order, expressly
stipulated, the court was informed,
that Killifer agreed to devote his en
tire time and energy to the service of
the Chicago. Federals.
Tlie court was informed that $r,O0
was advanced to Killifer on account
and was accepted by him and is still
retained.
Failure to report for practice, in
accordance with his contract, was al
leged against Killifer.
The bill then set forth the informa
tion "that a baseball team, consists
of nine regular players, besides sub
stitutes, each of whom play in dif
ferent positions, to-wit: Pitcher.
1 catcher, first base, second base, short
stop, third base, right field, center
field and left field.
"That one of the principal positions
on a baseball team is that of oitcner:
that on account of its importance and
of the extraordinary skill, adaptability
and training necessary for the expert
playing of this position, it is more
difficult to secure an expert catcher
than any of the other players."
A tribute to the ability of Catcher
Killifer was contained in a paragraph
which informed the court "that the
defendant is a baseball player, to wit:
A cateher, of tini'iuc and extraordin
ary skill and expertness, and of such
personal and intellectual character
that his loss cannot be substantially
compensated for by the service of
some other baseball catcher."
The bill set forth that the Chicago
Federals will suffer irreparable in
jury unless a restraining order issues
enjoining Killifer from playing with
clubs other than the Chicago Federals,
and more particularly with the Phil
adelphia Nationals, with whom the
complainant believes Killifer is now
in active practice preparing for the
opening of the baseball season.
The complaint closed with a prayer
for the immediate issuance of a tem
porary injunction preventing Killifer
from violating his contract with tlie
Chicago Federals, and a petition that
the temporary injunction be made
permanent in the final hearing of the
suit.

by an intimate friend to
a tango tea. Willie had
upon
attend
never tango tea-ed before,
became so pleased with the
that he gave over quite a little of
his time to the learning of the new
dances and then one day discovered
that his heel was quite recovered.
"Dear sirs," writes Willie Ritchie,
"1 wish to recommend your tang i
t as to all suffering from sole heels.
After trying every eminent specialist
in the land and after using a num
ber of very expensive lenitives, pro
cured and imported at great loss ol
lile, I finally in desperation tried
jour tango teas, little thinking that
they 'would help me in the least. I
recommend them to all lightweight
pugilists with sore heels."
in fact Willie even went further
than that. He implied, if he didn't

But he I ins would occupy a prominent place
pastime in his training schedule from this
time forth. Aspiring pugilists through
out the country will not have heard
ibis for nothing.
A great many who have tried the
tango and its kindred dances will not
require conviction as to its muscle
building values. It provides as much
good hearty exercise as a lively trot
ever the ueighhot ing hills and dales.
There is every reason why an even
ing at a fashionable hall shouldn't
put a fichter in as good trim as the
, ticking jabs and leads to be had on
a well-crowded tango floor what with
ail the dipping and wide swinging of
arms that is done. Also plenty of
working out at clinching and infight
ing. The fighter's sparring partner of
lhe futuie. will be a young lady. The
tango danseuse will be tile important
figure in training camps in time to
come. If fighters continue to tango
they will become so adept that they
will be able to quit fighting and
make more money at teaching tlie
dance. On the whole, however, tin
tango in boxing should exert a pleas
ant influence and while of course it
will not refine the sport it may be
able to make the game a little
rougher. Thus pleasing those who
complain that fighters today are un
willing to mix.
