Chicago, Jan. 27—The desertion of three Cleveland pitchers to the Fed- eral league was admitted here this a ternoon by President C. W. Somers of the Cleveland club, The three are Fred Falkenburg, who is said to have signed with Indianapolis; will join the Toronto club and Kapler, signed with Pittsburgh Federal league officials declined to comment on the report of the jump- ing of the three pitchers, but rooters generally considered the new organi- zation’s acquisition a triumph, since the three pitchers, particularly Falken- burg, were among the most effective of the Naps' staff last year. Increases over their last year's salaries and thres year contracts are said to have been given them, President Gilmore of the [Federal league left this afternoon for Toronto on league business, President Murphy of the Chicago Nationals said today that John T.

Detroit, Mich., Jan. —The Detroit Amer n league b: ball club today received a letter from Ty Cobb which ated he would join the regulars at Gulfport, Miss, the spring training camp, some time during March. Cobb has seldom trained w'ch his teammates in the springtime .nd his letter is believed to be in line with his recently made statement that the Detroit club would have the full benefit of his ser- vices in 1914. The signed contract of William. Pur- tell, infielder, was received today. ac- Suspended for Dead Heat. New York, Jan._27.—Hans Koleh mainen and Abel Kiviat, members of the Irish-American Athletic club, have been indefinitely suspended from par- ticipation in amateur athletics by the registration committee of the Ama- teur Athletic union. The suspension resulted from a two mile match race Saturday in which the runners ran a dead heat. The athletes were noti- fied to appear before the committee February 4 and expl the reason for their alleged poor showing in the race. Fitz Out of Game for Good. New York, Jan, 27—The supreme court today denied the application of Robert Fitzsimmons, one-time hea weight ring champion of the world, for an injunc raining the New York athietic commission from ref |ing to sanction his participation in | boxing exhibitions in this state. -The commission held that Fitzsimmons, at | 51 vears, is too old to re-enter the ring.

Sunbury, Pa., Jan. 27.—“Birdie” Cree, the New American _ outfielder, said at his home here today that the manager - of the Pittsburgh Federal | league baseball team has offered him | 35,000 a vear for three vears and has | promised to deposit half of that amount if he signs a three years con- tract. Cree has not given his de- cision. JIM O'ROURKE’S VIEWS ON OUTLAW MOVEMENT Battle Centers Around the Reserve Rule in Which Eastern Association President - Hasnt Much Confidence. President James H. O'Rourke of the Eastern Baseball association is view- Ing the uprising of the Iederal league with great interest, familiar as he is with the vicissitudes of organized baseball almost since the infancy of the game that has come to be the pas- time of nations. The president, who knows baseball from all angles, as player, captain, manager, owner, and executive, has some interesting obser- vations on the rights of organized | baseball which were never questioned until Gilmore, Weeghman and Tinker began their parade through the ranks of the majors. Couldn't tand Test. “I have not much confidence in the value of the reserve,” said Mr. O'Rourke recently. “It has been shown in past cases of this Ikind that the courts could not see their way clear | to uphold this phase of the refatiops | hetween ball player and club owner. The fact that it is not a mutual agree- | meat is its weak point” There is a wealth of other informa- and valuable observations that ident O'Rourke could give con- ing the legality of baseball as con- ed in this country under the na- tional agreement. Being a Dbarrister | of long experience, he can view the matter with an impartiality probably not equalled by amother baseball man in the country. Main Prop of Game. With the reserve gone, one of the | props of organized baseball would be suddenly pulled from under. There are some who claim that the reserve clause contradicts itseif, as if it were binding upon the player to continue with one. club from season to season. there would,.be no necessity of his | signing a new contract every year. H; first contract with the club would ti him for all time unless his boss chose to release him. - Wants Present System. This is the heart of the battle be- tween unorganized and organized base- ball, and unless the magnates consti- tutihg the national commission and heading the clubs of the big leagues pull off a rare bit of strategy, it is likely that the latter will soon become | disorganized baseball. As he is one | of those who believe firmly that the | present organization is the best one | that the game could be played under, President O'Rourke does not talk ex- tensively upon the matter. His opinion | on the value of the reserve, howerver, is of more than league importance, | as his experience in baseball has been sufficient for him to diagnose cases in all strata of the sport. DUNDEE BEATS O'NEILL. Owen Moran Quits Before Onslaught of Young Shugrue. New York, Jan. 27.—In the first of two international bouts at Madison Square Garden tonight Johnny Dundee severely trounced “Sapper” O'Neill of | ®ame in all the years that the sport Emgland. Tho local fighter conceded | 9 3.4 pounds to_the visiting pugilist, WhG weighed <155 pounds, but forced the pace frong the start. O’Neill show- ed gameness but was unable to keep the lighter man away., ! In the second bout Owen Moran of England_was severely punished by | Young Shugrue of Jersey City and quit at the end of the seventh round. In that round Shugrue landed several Tights and lefts to the head and then made the body his target. Moran claimed one of the body punches was too low, but the referee refused to al- low the claim and ordered the Eng- lishman to continue. Moran finished the round, but at the bell refused to Proceed. MURPHY TO BLAME. That's Chance's Idea of the Drive Against the National Ceague. “Charles W. Murphy is responsible for “the organization of the Kederal league. The president of the Cubs is | to blame for the large number of ma- jor league baseball players who are jumping to the outlaw organization.” These statements were made by Frank Chance, manager of the New York American ieague club and for- merly manager of the Cubs, at Los | Angeles, according to an exchange. “Charley Murphy,” said . Chance, has dore more to hurt baseball than any other man who has been in the has flourished. You can mark my words well, because he is going to continue to be an objectionable figure in the national pastime just so long as he is allowed to have any connec- tion with any club under the jurisdic- tion of the national commission. | “A lot of my friends said I was | crazy two vears ago when I sold my | stock in the Chicago National league club.

Consolidated Gas Also Gives Evidence of Haaviness. New York, Jan. 27—attempts to carry further the advance In stocks were checked early in today’s market, which thereafter followed an uncer- taln course. Speculation slackened, and investment buying, while still a factor, was on a diminishing scale. The market had little of ihe snap | and power of recent days. | The tone at the outset was deter- mined largely by London. Prices of Amerlcan stocks had risen sharply in that market, and when trading began here forelgn representatives came into this market more actively than for a | long time. London bought mors than ,000° shares, specializing in Canadian Pacific, Union Pacific, Steel and Amal- | gamated. Under the impulse lent by | this buying, prices advanced. Steel touched 66 7-3, the highest of the movement. Only a few of the leaders, however, rose more than a point, and | heavy realizing on the upturn soon affected a reaction. The price level | was forced below ¥ close, with most noticeable heaviness in New York Central, Baltimore and Ohio, New Haven, and Consolidated Gas. Later the tone improved and final changes were of little consequence. Operations on the long side were ha¥pered by the lessened demand from the short interest, owing to extensive covering recently. Union Pacific’s re- port of a shrinkage in net earnings of $442,000 last month discouraged buy- ing of rallroad stocks. General spec- ulation was hampered by uncertaint as to United States Steel's quarterly report which did not appear until af~ ter the close. Contrasied with the corresponding quarter of the preceding vear, when earnings were $35.185,000, | the earnings for the last quarter show- ed a falling off of $12.149.000 and fail ed to meet dividend requ s.
