Chicago, Feb., 26.—An injunction issued by the circuit court has halted temporarily the transfer of the Kansas City ‘Federal league franchise to P. T. Powers of New York, which was ex- pected to be effected at the meeting of the league in Buffalo today. The injunction was issued after the Kansas City club had filed a suit to restrain the Federal League of Professional Baseball clubs from transferring the franchise to another party. The writ of injunction was served on James A. Gilmore, president of the Federals just as he was boarding a train for the Buffalo meeting. The bill recites that under the fran- chise given by the defendant league on February 28, 1914, it was under- stood that the Kansas City club could operate permanently as a member of the league, and that, consequently, the club had assumed a great many obligations. While admitting that loans had been made from time to time by the league, the club asserted that these loans are offset by sums due from the defendant. The bill states that al- though the club has repeatedly asked the league for a statement of its ac- count, being ready to pay any just ciaims, the league has refused any such statement, although continuing | winning the second game from Yale | to claim a balance due from the club. i here this week, the Harvard playe The suit was set for a hearing on |borke training for the year and will, | March 5. from now on devote their attention to A full accounting of the inside |other lines of athletic activity.

New York, Feb. 26.—Jeff Tesreau, pitcher of the Giants, has settled the breach of promise suit brought against him by Miss Clara Young of Perry- ville, Mo. Jeff was afrajid his spring training at Marlin Springs would be interrupted by a court summons. Miss Young asked $25,000 damages from the Ozark giant. The amount of the compromise is not yet known, but Justice Page y. ; signed an order discontinuing the action. When the suit was brought Tesreau had to file a bond to ure his presence in court when the ¢ vas called. If the trial had been begun while Jeff was at the training comp it would have meant his coming to New York or forfeiting his bond. Miss Young brought her suit after Tesreau had | CRIMSON AND GREEN (JEAN AND COMPANY CLAIM HOCKEY TITLE Aud There's No Way to Decide Wich Owns It.

Uprat Cam- bridge, and among Harvard men gen- erally they assert, not without reason, that the Crimson's seven is entitled to the honors. Up at Hanover, as is so frequently the case, they view the situation somewhat differently and feel that the title helohgs to the Green rather than to the Crimson. There's much to be said on both sides. Harvard has defeated Yale twice and Yale won from Dartmouth, “so why isn't Harvard champion” ask the supporters of the Windsor- coached Crimson seven.

After s DUNDEE-CROSS BOUT OFF- Leach Is Said to Have Had Opcration On His Nose. New York, Feb. 26.—There will be no fight in Madison Square Garden tonight. Matchmaker Jimmy Johnston visited the home of Leach Cross yes- terday morning, and according to Jimmy, he found that the dentist-pug- ilist had an operation performed on his nose for an infection which would prevent Cr from doing his best against Dundee. Sooner than to have a one-sided contest Johnston decided to 1 off the match, the late hcur preventing him from substitut- ing a card attractive enough for the Garden. In a letter to Johnston received yes terday from Willie Ritchie the latter stated that he would be in New Yori on Monday night ready to prepare for his coming bout with Freddie Welsh, which takes place on March 11, Ritchie and Welsh will meet at the same weight at which they fought in London, 135 pounds, at o'cloc Welsh on his return from Milwauk will go to Jim Donovan's camp at Oceanport, N.

The Fair Was From Milwaukee, Mis., Feb. 26.—Freddie Welsh outboxed Charlie White in a ten round no-decision boxing contest at the Auditorium last night, accord- ing to the almost unanimous opinion of sporting writers. Welsh appeared tc have had the advantage of five Tounds, the third to seventh inclusive. White shaded his opponent in the ninth and tenth and the first, second and eighth appeared to be even. The Englishman had White at his mercy during most of the fight, being fast and clever and getting away with- out any punishment, and seemed unable to solve the cham- pion’s whirlwind style of attack. Welsh made many friends by his | showing last night, as White is con- sidered to be the first good man he has defeated since acquiring the light- welght crown, married Miss Helen Blake. for the bout.

It is an inte esting story when this all but out- cast is crowned as the queen of dogs in this country, Some two years ago fancier of cocker spaniels living near Birmingham went to purcha some dogs. He was not well ver in the terrier breeds, but took a fancy to this little puppy, which was run- ning around the barnyard of an Eng- { lish farmer, and thought that it would make an interesting playmate for his grandchildren, He asked what the farmer would take for the dog and | was answered that $10 would pur- | chase it.
