Gilmore, who re- turned from the east today, said that if the court declined to uphold the Cincinnati-Johnson contract on the ground that the reserve rule or the ten day clause were illegal, several ball players who have signed similar contracts would find their way clear Gilmore said he would setile” the differences between th Pittsburgh club and Catchr Roberts and that the latter, would be instructed to return to Pifts- burgh. The Chicago Federals, led by Man- ager Tinker, left for their first in- vasion of the east tonight, opening at Buffalo tomorrow. The team won nine of its fourteen games at home, DAVID FULTZ ADVISES MEMBERS OF BALL FRATERNITY Player Will Be Expelled From the Society for Jumping Contracts Without Consulting to Advisory Board. (From the June Baseball Magazine.) At the last annual meeting of the Board ef Directors of the Fraternity the following resolution was passec: “Resolved, That any member of the Fraternity who jumps a contract with a club before submitting his grievance to the Advisory Board of the Fra- ternity, or who, after submitting it to such Board, contrary to the decision of such Board, jumps said contract, shall be expelled from the organiza- tion.” This is still the attitude of the Fra- ternity and nelther the Advisory Board nor the President has any dis- cretion in the matter where the of- fense is clearly shown. The rule was passed by the Direc- tors because they felt it was a wise move and the officers must carry out their wishes. Every plaver who jumps a contract is not only injuring his own reputation, dut that of every member of the base- dall profession. a Thi consideration may not appear Very impertant to jumping players at present, but they will most assuredly regret their action in the future years. ‘We appreciate the fact that a good sized bank roll placed in a player's hand to induce him to sign a contract at a liberal increase in salary is a great temptation, especially where he belleves he is underpaid under his ex- Isting contract; but it should not be a question of getting all he can unless all he can get is gotten honestly. The player should remember this too, that any magnate who attempts to bribe him to violate his contract with an- other, will violate the player's con- tract just as soon as he can do so to his_advantage. Players who jump organized ball contracts, says Fultz, will probably be enjoined from playing with the Fed- eral League, and players who jump Federal League contracts will also doubtless dbe proceeded against. There seems little doubt but that the former actions can be maintained and it is by no means certain that players jumping Federal Ledgue contracts can not be enjoined. The Killifer decision must not be taken as final on this point. The writ- er has not seen the full text of the de- cision, but he is of the opinion that the matter was before the court only on & motion for a preliminary injunc- tion and it may be that when the ac- tion is fully determined an Injunction may be granted. i These are turbulent days in the‘ baseball world and the plavers owe it | to themselves and their profession to hew close to the line and to exert ‘possibilities which medical Go East for First Invasion.

Whether he again ‘will be the “iron man” of the Athletic’ pitching staff depends upon future experts will not forecast. Coombs, at least, will start light work immediately, and when he feels ready to pitch a game and Manager Mack gives his consent, he will attempt his comeback formance. Doctors Carnett, Macfarland and Brown Have _examined and said his condition surpessed their expectations. His color was excel- lent, his spine showed more elasticity than at any time since he suffered the injury and he weighed 183 pounds. The physicians were greatly pleased, but refused to predict what the future held in store for the Mack flinger. They believe Coombs, if he gets into shape gradually, will be able to piich winning games for the champlons this ear. 2 Coombs was delighted with the ver- dict. He sald he would start work at once and would pitch for the Athletics when Manager Mack permitted it. He probably will net go to Washington, but will work out at Shibe Park until the Mackmen return to Philadelphia next Tuesday. TWO HUNDRED ENTRIES RECEIVED FOR TIGER MEET First Handicap Track Meet Will Be Held at Princeton, May 16 Two hundred entries are assured for the first opening handicap track meet which will be held at Princeton on May 18.

American Cycling Champion Wins Special Mile Match Race at New- ark. Frank L. Kramer, American cham- pion cyclist, earned for himself the premier sprint cycling honors of the world when he again bested Walter Rutt of Germany, the world’s title holder, in a mile match race recently at the Newark Velodrome. It required the running off of four heats before the decision came, and the facing was witnessed by nearly 15,000 cycle fol- lowers. Alfred Goulett, the Australlan, was the winner of the other feature event of the day, the ten-mile match race, paced by tandems. Goulett defeated Clark in the final sprint. Fogler, who also started, was thrown to the track in th ninth mile when his rear wheel punctured. - Maiors Shift This Week.

The FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL DEADLOCK IN MARKET. | Trading at Standstill Most of the Day —Price Chan Fractional. New York, May 13.—Monotony ruled unchallenged on the stock exchange to- day. Nothing occurred to break the deadlock into which the market has ‘Deen drifting for several days. Even Pprofessional traders who usually are able to find something in a dull day's news to advance as a plausible reason for buying or selling stocks bave it up and retired from the field, and the mar- ket was at a standstill much of the time. Most stocks held throughout the entire session within small fractions of yesterday’s close. It was general opinion that the mar- ket had gone about as far as it could in weighing and translating into stock movements the influences in the pres- ent uncertain situation. Accordingly it was felt that, barring the unexpect- ed, not much could be looked for pend- ing the clearing up of one or more im- portant questions hanging over -the market, such as Mexican mediation and the freight rate cases. Reports from ‘Washington that the decision in the rates cases would be announced this week were not taken seriously, and at- tempts to base a buving movement on them came to naught. In the first hour prices bardeped, but the upturn was checked before it attained sufficient proportions to be of significance. Toward the close dertone became heavier, influenced by | ressure against Canadian Pacific and | ehigh Valley.
