INTERNATIONAL leaguers
READY TO SUE FEDERALS
_ A
Jersey City Club After Walter
Diair, Who Had Agreed
to Terms.
NEWARK CLUB SATISFIED
Ebbets, Jr., Does Not Want
Either Barger or Swa
cina Back.
As was to be expected, following
the Killifer case and the action taken
by the Boston Nationals' suit over
Jack Quinn, International League
clubs are preparing to go into court.
The league will go after players who
accepted terms with Barrow league
clubs and then deserted to join the
Federate.
The clubs which will institute pro
ceedings against the outlaws are
Montreal, Jersey City and Rochester.
Five cases will be brought up. In
cluding that of the Jersey City Club
against Walt>r Blair. President
Thomas Fogarty, of the Skeeters, as
serts that Blair accepted terms by
mail and then fell for Larry Schla
fty’s bait and hook. In regard to
Joe Agler, the Jersey City Club will
do. nothing, but Fogarty admitted
that lie was ready to make a. fight
for the former Skeeter backstop’, who
is now with Larry Schlufly’s Buffalo
Feds.
President Charles II Ebbets, Jr., of
the Newark International League
Club, denied that hi- had any plans
of going after either Harry Swaetnu
or Cy Barger. Ebbets reiterated his
former statements that he did not
care to have either around. Swacina
accepted $115 advance money on his
1915 contract, and has not returned
this amount to the Newark Club. H"
will be respectfully requested to re
fund this money, bat as far as any
notion being taken to recover hint
Ebbets. jr.. was very emphatic in his
denial. “It would do us no good to
have a disgruntled player around,
and all Ahat 1 can say is that 1 am
glad we have a team this year of
which any manager might bo proud.
We have gentlemen playing for the
Newark Club.”
The players will not be omcinlly
Under suspension until next Tues
day. according to the International
leaguers. On that day they are sup
posed to report to their respective,
clubs, and falling to comply with
orders will result in suspension. The
Rochester Club Is after I'barley Mc
Donald, who accepted $300 advance
money when he agreed to the club's
terms. Ho used $100 of this amount
to pay his car fare to Pittsburgh,
where he joined the Feds.
Montreal claims that Frank Smith
the star spltball twirler, also accept
ed $3>0 in advance for this season’s
sn'ary. Sam Llchtenhein, owner of
the Montreal Club, asserts that Len
nox and Hanford and Savage will
also he defendants because other
Clubs had been damaged by their
action in breaking contracts.
It is understood that the action in
the different cases will be brought
Jointly against (he clubs taking the
players, the Federal League Itself
and the men who Jumped. It has not
been decided on in what State or
States proceedings will he instituted.
Some International leaguers say
the Feds had only 10,000 opening day
at Baltimore, as the grounds could
accommodate no more.
“It Is true," said one club owner,
"that four of the men who Jumped
the Rochester club tried to come back
before the season opened I guess
that speaks for itself and shows what
those on the inside think of the Fed
eral League's chance for success."

OUTLAW CLUBS TO
APPEAR IN NEWARK
Promoters Plan Games Be*!
tween All-Star Semi=Pros
and Feds.
'WILL HAVE ENCLOSED PARK
A scheme to organize an all-star
| semi-pro team, to obtain closed
grounds and then book Federal
League clubs to appear here every
Sunday is being fostered by two men
well known In local circles. Dave
Driscoll, who is to be business man
j ager of the new organization, has
[ already entered jnto negotiations
l with the managements of several of
'the Independent league clubs. While
I In Baltimore recently, he dropped in
| to see the owners of the Terrapins
ns the "Baltlfeds” are known. Man
ager Otto Knabe and his team will
be the first attraction.
The main hitch Just now is in ob
taining grounds.
Two favorable sites have already
been looked over and a contract has
already been placed for the erection
I of an eight-foot fence. The delay in
selecting grounds is due chiefly to the
| fact that one of the sites under con
! sideration is wanted by a firm which
| intends to erect a factory on this
piece of property. There was talk of
i locating on Elizabeth avenue and
I those behind the scheme have been
: making inquiries about obtaining a
| lease on a site in that section. It is
expected that a suitable place will be
obtained by Monday. The prospects
just now, however, are that the
scheme will be realized.
i»ne ot the men connected with the
enterprise said today: "I believe that
local fans would take kindly to an
opportunity to sec all the Federal
League stars pitted against a crack
semi-pro team, a different organiza
tion playing every Sunday. It would
not be at all difficult to get these
Fed teams over from Brooklyn, as
they are not allowed to perform there
on Sundays and the jump would not
be expensive.
“Local fans, 1 am sure, w'ould turn
out in large numbers to see the Balti
more team, with its former Interna
tional League favorites, Swaclna,
Meyer, Quinn and Jacklistch in the
lirst contest.
"We have been In communication
with ail of them and are laying our
plans to arrange the schedule so that
every one of the teams will show here
sometime during the season. On other
Sundays, we will play the best tennis
in (his vicinity. Suitable accommoda
tions, grandstand and bleachers will
be arranged to provide for large
crowds.”

The crowd, estimated at 18,000, was

the Jam that at the end of the first
Inning the gates were ordered closed,
with probably 2,000 outside clamoring
for admission. Falkenberg and tiroom,
both former big league twiners, op
posed each other, and were batted in
lively fashion.
Most of the runs were scored in the
first half of the game. A home run
by llolaii In the third Inning brought
In Kauff and Scheer and gave the
visiting team a ]ead that the local
players could not overcome. In the
first inning Kommers, of HI. Louis,
drove the ball over the right-field
fence for a home run, bringing in
Boucher.
Chicago defeated Kansas City, 3 to
2, in the initial game of the Federal

City, as a result of Hendrix’s effective
pitching. The visiting pitcher allowed
only one hit up to the eighth inning.
The game was played at the High
School Stadium to a crowd of about
8,000. Despite the fact that it was
ladles’ day at the American Associa
tion Park, and 2,000 ladles were pres
ent. the Federal attendance doubled
that of the American Association.
Singles lev Fleck and /willing, a
base on bails to Heck and a double

and the game in the sixth. Chicago’s
other run was scored In the second on
/willing's triple and Wicklund's dou

Army and Navy Authorities
May Reach Compromise
—
NEW YORK. April 17. In un effort
to settle the controversy between the
Army and Navy athletic authorities
over the location of the 1914 football
game, the Army and Navy Club at i
Washington hus suggested a com pro- i
mise which gives the Middies the!
privilege of selecting Washington
this year and permits West Point to
choose New York in 1915.
News that such a compromise had
been suggested served to make those
interested in bringing the Army-Navy
game* to this city next fall redouble
their . Hurls to make the contest an
annual event in New York city.
The same objection applies to
S Washington that caused Philadelphia
[to lose the annual contest—the ab
I sence of accommodations for the
| spectators.

The Chicago White Sox and their
supporters, who have been picking
Jtminy Callahan's men to win the
pennant, are already getting ready
to celebrate. The Sox won their third
straight game yejterday, and now
have a double riveted grip on first
place. New York, of course, has won
one game und lost none, but the Sox
have captured three battles without
a defeat, and in the event that both
teams lose today the Sox will still
hold first place.

Gordon Walker Learns Five
Bike Riders Are on Their
Way Here.
WHEN ROOM MATES MEET
There are more Australia bike
riders on their way here from the
antipodes to seek fame and fortune
on the tracks of America. Accord
ing to a message to Gordon Walker,
which has Just been received, thera
are five In this latest party of in
vaders from the land of the kanga
roo. The riders are little known even
to the Australians who are here,
but that is due to the fact that they
have come into prominence during
the past two years while Walker,
Grenda, Clark, Spears and Goullet
have hem busily engaged here and
In Europe. The best of the boys who
will join the Australian colony hern
are Crook, Henry and Erskine, all
sprinters. Frank Corry's brother, a
trainer, is with the party and wlU
train them here
• «
A Peculiar Situation, This.
Reing churns and roommates and
doing battle against each other Is
the peculiar situation in which Goul
Ict and Grenda are placed. These
antipodean stars are the closest of
pals, and to those who realize their
great friendship for each other their
clnshes In races arc Intensely inter
esting, While these riders are the
very best of friends off the track,
friendship ceases when the gun goes
oft starting a race, and they fight
each other with the same determina
tion that they show against their
worst enemies. There is just one fea
ture of their battles which are differ
ent from their procedure against the
other cyclists—they ride straight and
true with never a bump, or a squeeze,
or a switch and the best man wins.
No matter what happens, they are
good pals after the races, and the
loser congratulates the winner. Last
Sunday Goullet and Grenda drew
the same semi-final in the Overture,
and as winners only qualified they
both went out to win. It was one
of the prettiest battles In the race,
and nlso one of the cleanest. For
two laps and a half they fought for
position, and coming alongside of
each other at the bell, they sprinted
neck and neck for the entire last
lap.

Worth Mitten Ifrard From.
Worth Mitten, the little pace fol
lower. who is quite popular hers, Is
showing the natives of Iowa his
speed. The following account of a
; novel race won by Mitten Is from
! the Rock Island Daily Union:
“Worth Mitten, the Davenport
distance bicycle rider, hud things all
lo himself yesterday afternoon In his
handicap race of fifty miles with four
tri-city lads at Exposition Park, win
ning the event by a little ovor two
miles and establishing a new local
record of 1 hour 44 minutes and 7
seeondB. Mitten gave each entrant In
the race a seven-mile handicap and
raced a total of lifty miles. A motor
cycle In front of each bicycle acted
as a pacemaker and windhreaker for
llie riders. A large crowd viewed
the race, and it is probable that an
other match will be arranged to
he given In the near future, although
no definite dates have been decided
upon at present. Mitten has captured
honors In several of the six-day bicy
cle races given at Madison Square,
New' York city, and has established a
reputation ns a long distance racer.
