New York, Feb. 8.—Pat Powers s acquired the Kansas City- fran- chise in the Federal league and will transfer it either to New York or Newark. Powers yesterday mitted, at his home in Jersey City, that, with several others, whose names he refused to divulge, he had purchased the franchise, and that the club would no longer be operated in Kansas City. He also admitted that the choice had narrowed down to this city and. the New Jersey metropolis and that a decision would not be ar- James A. Gilmore, president of the Federal league, is expected here tomorrow, and a conference will be held to settle upon a change in circuit. According to what could be gleaned from the interview with Powers, the former president of the old Eastern league is in favor of Newark, but the league officials are of the opinion that now is the time to invade New York, Robert B. Ward is one of the most enthusiastic believers in the practic- ability of placing a Federal league club in the Bronx, and he is willing, it is said, to make big concessions in the transfer of a plot of ground in The Eronx which he owns and which is suitable for a ball park. “No Decision Reached.” Powers said: “I will admit that we have obtained the Kansas City fran- chise in the Federal ‘league. It is oo bad that the thing got out now, for publicity at this time is likely to hurt the project. I am not alone in the deal. There are - several other reputable business men in it with me, but I have given my word that T would not disclose their identity until the proper time. “We have decided that New York or Newark are the best places for our club, but it will be several days be- fore we reach a final decision as to which city would make our venture afternoon ad- Riley C.

MAKES POOR SHOWING BUT WINS Ansonia Weakened By Absence of Stars—Local Marksmen Away Off on Their Shooting. In a one-sided exhibition of basket- ball Saturday evening the local High schocl team overwhelmed the An- sonia High quintet at the High school gymnasium, 39-12. While New Brit- ain won the game handily, they showed the poorest form of the sea- son. It has been reckoned that they scored one out of ten chances to make a basket. Their floor work was bet- ter, but the shooting was deplorably weak. Ansonia, crippled by the ab- sence of Molineaux and Davidson, presented the weakest team that ha been seen on the local court this son. Instead of completely crush- ing the Ansonja team, New Britain just gave them a fairly good trounc- ing. It is thought that a change will be made in the locals’ lineup lineup in which Tuthill will be removed from the team and Schade will go to center and Martin take Schade's place at forward. The lineup: N. B. H. S. Ansonia High. Schmidt, Martin Priscilla Right Forward. Schade (c.) North (c.), Barett Left Forward. 2 Tuthill : o . Halley Ginsburg MecNish Dudack Conklin Left Guard. 2 B. H.

Between bouts the hard-hitting Dutchman fol- lows the plow and engages other agricultural activities. As champion Ad made his pile, and he had dragged down a number of big purses since then. He has no kick coming, fi- nancially speaking, but in the mat- the in the hard luck kid. It was his appendix that made Ad hit the toboggan. The Michigan wild- cat looked good enough to hold the title many vears when, on the eve of his scheduled battle with Freddie Welsh in 1911, he was suddenly stricken with appendicitis and rushed off to a hospital for an operation. In his subsequent bouts his blows lacked \their old steam and sting, and in the latter part of 1912 he lost to Willie Ritchie. Later he was de- feated by Tommy Murphy and Joe jAzevedo, and it looked as if Ad's scrapping days were over. Last year Wolgast pulled a come- back, and in several houts | flashes of his old-time form. |looked to have a chance to regain h {lost honors when he broke a couple {of small bones in his left hand while preparing for a battle with Joe Rivers in California.

Tommy Connolly, the veteran American league umpire, never cared much for football until his fellow- | townsman, Eddie Mahan, of Natick, | Mass., began to show his worth at Cambridge.
