FOR BIG LEAGUERS •Manager of Chicago Outlaws Takes a Rap at Murphy. SIGNS COLE, OF YANKS The long promised raid on the ma iler leagues for baseball talent has begun in earnest by the Federal League, according to .Joe Tinker, manager of the Chicago Club, who Is on a trip which, he says, will take him to the home* of many players who have won fame In the Natlonar and American leagues. Otto Knabe, of the Baltimore, and Mprdecai Brown, of the St. Louis clubs, will soon start on similar pil grimages, Tinker said. Tinker re fused to name .any of the players he Intends to visit or to say where his first stop would be It was reported that he would go first to Kansas City, Where he would try to get the signa ture of Clarence Hendricks to a con tract. Tinker said he believes Hen dricks to be a pitcher with a future, dnd it Is known he has considered him ds a possible member of the Chicago Club. Tinker left the city a few hours dfter the return here of President Murphy, of the Chicago Nationals. Murphy has been In Cincinnati at the National Commission meeting. The dub president asserted drinking was one of the reasons why he was re leased by the Cincinnati Club. "Last season's was my most suc cessful In baseball, and If I thought (By success was due to drinking, I Would spend more time at the bar." Was Tinker’s reply. "I led the league shortstops in hitting. I was not such d hard drinker that the Brooklyn Club hesitated to pay $26,000 for my •crvices without consulting me. "Mr. Murphy himself had a conver sation with me after the Brooklyn ne 8otiatlons had started and In viola ion to the national agreement. He •aid ho had paid $10,000 for the ser Wices of Roger Bresnalian and hinted Biat he thought as highly of my abll lly to play ball.” "Doth” to Sign Contract. John irfiller, one of the Baseball Sayers' Fraternity representatives at e Cincinnati conference, yesterday feturned to his home. He stated that be had not been approached by any representative of the Federal League while in the West. He met a repre sentative of the St. Louis Club, to which he has been traded by the Pittsburgh Club, and satisfactory terms having been offered, he said that he expected to sign his contract with St. Louis as soon as it arrived. Johnson Won't Jump. Walter Johnson, the famous Wash ington pitcher, has refused an offer of a salary of $30,000 for three years and a bonus of $10,000 made by Joe Tinker, manager of the Chicago Fed oral League team. Johnson said he Was sorry, but he had already signed With Washington and would not jump Ills contract. A similar offer was snade Joe Wood, the Boston American League pitcher, but he also declined because ho had already signed with bis team. Mms* Can't See Feds. Sherwood Magee, star outfielder or *he Philadelphia Nationals, cannot •ee the Federal league. Sherwood •ays lie was offered the Buffalo man agement before Larry Schlafly got It. Bherwood lives in Bisontown and would have been a big drawing card. In speaking of Joe Tinker Magee •aid: “I cannot understand how Tinker Would sign a Federal League con tract, even for a three-year term at • salary of $10,000 a year unless he I* assured the league will be a suc cess. If Tinker went to Brooklyn he would receive $10,000 for signing a contract and $5,000 salary for play ing. At the end of three years Tin ker would be $25,000 to the good and •till be assured a position. “As a member of the Federal League Tinker may get his $30,000, but there is no certainty that the cir cuit will be able to continue after this season or next. It takes a lot of lime and money to make a big league ■i success." •—- "" James A.

ELATED OVER^CONCESSIONS David L. Fultz, president of the Baseball Players’ Fraternity, who re turned yesterday from Cincinnati after a satisfactory conference with the National Commission regarding the players' contracts. Is today no tifying all members of the fraternity by mall that they are now free to sign contracts. "This method is necessary," said Fultz, "for the players agreed orig inally to pay no attention to orders ■ published in the newspapers. If I had given out a statement In Cincin nati that the players were eligible to sign many of them probab'y would not have accepted the announcement as official. Hence the notifications that arc being mailed as rapidly as possible." Mr. Fultz said that only players employed in organized baseball could become memibers of the fraternity, but he said there wag nothing in the organization’s constitution to deprive a player of his good standing if he signed wth an outlaw club. The fra ternity’s attitude towards the Federal League, Fultz declared, was one of absolute neutrality. Munt Walt Year for Decision. Baseball players and managers; must wait a year or more before get ting light from the Supreme Court on the much-disputed question in major league circles as to the enforcibility by injunction of players’ contracts. The point hap been raised that con tracts with players are not enforcible by injunction, because they contain a clause giving the maragers the right to terminate the contract with out giving a similar right to the players. A case involving similar questions has been brought to the court by an oil company, in Washington, but the tribunal Just has refused a request for an early hearing of the contro versy. This means tl it the case will not come up for argument until next winter, too late to affect baseball con tracts for the coming season. How far the decision will be ap plicable to baseball will be somewhat problematical until the decision io an nounced The suit was brought par ticularly to determine the right of oil companies to terminate certain con tracts, but it is maintained by attor neys for the baseball interests that it involves the exact point raised in the baseball controversy. Rose 81fn» with Yanks. Charles Rose, the Texas League pitcher, acquired last fall by the New York American League club, has a contract with that club for 1914. R. J. Kelly, semi-professional infield er, who was signed by the New York Americans a few months ago, was sold to the Lowell Club, of the New England League. “Earthquake” in New England. The New England League circuit for next year was shaken up at a meeting of the club owners yester day. Southeastern Massachusetts has been entirely abandoned, and the circuit as a whole moved to the north. This was the effect of chang ing the location of.three clubs. The franchise formerly held in Brockton was ordered transferred to Lewiston, Me. The New Bedford Club will be moved to Fitchburg, and the team which represented Fall River last year will return to Haverhill, where it played two sasons dgo.

An offer from the Pittsburgh Club of the Federal League was received by Jack Dalton, the Newark Interna tional League Club's right fielder, I yesterday, according to a statement made by the champions’ outfielder. Jack says if the outlaws come across with a big wad and guarantee his salary ho will jump, but It will have to be a very alluring offer, and the money will have to be deposited to his credit in a good bank before he takes the step. Asked what move he expected the Flayers' FratArnity would take with regard to members who jumped to the outlaws, Dalton stated that file sub ject had been ignored by the frater nity at the last meeting pending the granting of the requests made by the committee headed by Fultz, which took place this week. The Bengal outllelder says that there Is no chap ter In the players' union on which Federal Leaguers are enrolled, and he also stated that the subject of black listing players from the fraternity as well as organized baseball if they defy the reserve clause has not been discussed. It seems that there is a big loop hole In the agreement between the ‘‘powers that be" and the fraternity, for this important question regarding the fraternity’s stand on ''Jumpers' was apparently overlooked, and the players can do as they sge fit. Dal ton went on to Hay that six hundred ball players had pledged their word and signed an agreement not. to at tach their signatures to contracts until their demands were granted. He also stated that the Baltimore Inter national League Club, which has ten of Its men signed up, does not belong to the union. The far-seeing Dunn prohibited his men from Joining the organization last summer, and now he has the laugh on the other fel lows. At the same time it is extremely lucky for Dunn that he did keep hts men from agreeing not to sign until the last moment, for Dunn has a rival from the outlaw league to contend with, and would have double the trouble of other managers. ‘‘What would the players have done," Dalton was asked, "had their demands been refused?” “Not a man of the six hundred would have gone on the training trips if they kept their words, and most of them meant business.” Speaking about his own case with the Federals. Dalton said: “I have nothing against Newark; In fact, I like tho city, and was de lighted to return here last year. I think Harry Smith Is a prince, and I like the boys on tho team, but It is a case of getting the money when I have the opportunity. If I get the price and the contract I ask for. I'll jump In a minute." Jack, however, refused to state the price he asked for his services—also the du ration of the contract he would like. It is probably so exorbitant that lo cal fans need have little worry about losing the crack Bengal lead-off man and pinch-hitter. . .

The bicycle torpedo consists of a novel hood placed over the top of the ordinary bike. The protection accorded the rider and the lack of resistance met by the machine permits the attaining of a higher rate of sped than evei possiblo with the ordinary cycle. Marcel Berthet, the well-known French cyclist, covered five kilo meters, or a trifle more than three miles, in 5 minutes. 16 4-5 seconds unpaced, in a match race with Oscar Egg at the Velodrome D’Hiver in Paris, riding the model shown in the picture, as against 6 minutes 37 3-5 seconds, the record for the distance on the ordinary bicycle. The last four kilometres were covered at the rate of 33 miles an hour. Berthet is probably the greatest un paced distance rider in the world to day. Newark bike fans will remem ber him from the 1912 six-day race at Madison Square Garden, New York, when, paired with the inimitable Brocco, he made, things interesting for the other riders. Berthet is the present holder of the one-hour un paced record, a trifle more than twenty-seven miles. GILMORE ASKS JOHNSTONE TO UMPIRE FOR FEDERALS Newarker Will Get Into Com1! munication With American Ass’n Before Accepting. The Federal League has now gone further In Its attack on organized baseball by tempting umpires to Jump to their circuit. James John stone, the local arbiter, who has made a reputation in the National League and American Association, has a most flattering offer from Pres ident James A. Gilmore, of the Fed eral League.

Johnstone said that he had an swered the Federals' communication and he also stated that he had writ ten to President Thomas Chivington, of the American Association, telling him about the offer. It is believed that Chivington will do all In his power to hold Johnstone, as he rated Jim one of the best men in the busi ness last season.

When the prosecution read a list of men whom McFarland was reputed to have knocked out, defend ing counsel conferred with Harry Gil more, once manager for McFarland, and then announced that Gilmore had just told him that he had invented most of McFarland’s records of i knockouts to make It look formidable ; and make the boxer a drawing card, 1 Other Boxing Gossip Battling I.ahn and Dutch Brandt, two youths of boundless ambition and some ability, will box ten rounds at i the East New York Athletic Club. ] New York, tonight.

Otto Knabe. manager of the Haiti-1 morf* outlaw club, paid a visit to Enos Kirkpatrick at Pittsburgh, yesterday, and urged the Brooklyn inflelder, who was formerly a Newark player, to sign a Federal League contract. Kirk patrick was extremely enthusiastic after the meeting with Knabe, bu* de clared he will not sign until he gets into communication with the Brook lyn management. Kirkpatrick has long been diss&tis sd with conditions at Brooklyn. He Dpenly stated at different times tliat he would far rather play in Newark and before going home last fall Kirk patrick told the writer he would re fuse to play ball if he were not sold or traded by Brookljn. Since then Bill Dahlen, with whom Kirkpatrick had differences, has been deposed as Dodger leader, and Kirkpatrick may have changed his mind. Kirkpatrick now writes that he in tends to have a conference with the Brooklyn management. It is very likely that if Brooklyn decides to send Enos to the Tiger? he will remain in ! organized baseball. Otherwise Kirk patrick may cast his lot with Otto: Knabe and the Baltimore Federate. • • * Walker Weald Nat -Jump Another report from Pittsburgh says that FTed ‘Mysterious Mitchell" Walker, another Newark player, was approached yesterday by the Feder ate.

CALL OFF WRESTLING BOUT The "old days” of the Institute were revived again when a crowd jammed Institute Hall last night to attend the club's smoker and athletic exhibition. Before the boxing bouts had started standing room was at a premium. The show was an unusually good one. The boxing bouts were all clean cut and full of action. Crommondi, a second Sandow, made the greatest hit of the evening when he lifted an up right piano, on which two men were Bitting. Professor Attila, the developer and trainer of Sandow. declared that his new protege, Crommondi, could do, after nine months' training, the feats that took Sandow years to perfect. Crommondi did a lot of other difficult stunts. The wrestling bout between Hugh E. Smith and Harry Hauser was called off when Hauser had to receive medical attention for bolls on his neck. He appeared ready to go on but the committee decided to call It off. In tbe main boxing event James Smith and Young Raymond, two 145 pounders. gave a good exhibition. Smith had an advantage in the first two rounds, hut Raymond almost evened things in the last round. Smith landed on Raymond's jaw with a hard right a number of times in the first round. Raymond fought bank, but could not get in an effective wallop. In the second round the mix ing was livelier and by quick stepping Raymond got out of the way of some of Smith’s rights. Joe Burns, winner in the 118 class at the National Turner s Monday night, defeated Tommy Alien in three rounds. Tommy MoOulre outboxed Young Baum In three rounds without doing much damage.
