President Gilmore of Feds Has In-| structed Managers of the Gircuit to Go Get the Men They Want. | Swinging around the circuit to con- | fer with the owners of the different Federal teams, following the all-im- portant decisions of the Illinois appei- | late court and the supreme. court of | New York in the Johnson and Chase cases, President James G. Gilmore ar- rived at Pittsburgh Wednesday. Enthusiastic over the latest legal victories of the Feds, President Gil- mnore spoke freely of the outlook for the baby league. “There is nothing to prevent us from securing those players we want | now,” he said. “We have the money | and we shall go out and get the men. ' That's all there is to it. Frankly, that is one of the reasons why I am making my rounds. I shall confer with the team owners in all the citi=s wnere we have a franchise, ind my advice to them wili pe: ‘Go and get the men you want’ We already have about 15 star players who are now | playing with National and American | league teams under contract for 1915. It is not likely we shall ask any of these men to come with us this veai, however. “Still, we shall place no obstacles in the way of any owner going out and signing the players they'want to report immediately if they -so desire. Before the season closes we will have all the men we want for next year signed up to contracts that will hold in any court in the land. As it is, we are content and willing to let the other fellows do the worrying.” Gilmore admitted that there “wouwid likely be two changes in the -Federal circuit next year.” He casually re- marked that Federal teams should do well in Cleveland and Cincinnati, and that Detroit wil! easily support an- other team. MARSANS CHARGES REDS. For Violation of Federal Alien Labor Contract Law. Armando Marsans, the Cuban base- ball player, in his answer to the pet:- tion of the Cincinnati National league clup asking for a permanent injunc- tion restraining him from playing with the St. Louis club of the Federal league, vesterday charged the Cincin- nati club with violation of the federal | alien labor contract law. Marsans says last January while he was in Havana, Cub, the Cincinnati club sent & representative to him to sign a cor tract, which is in violation of the fed- eral law that prohibits the importation | of aliens for contract labor.' The aa- &wer also charges that organized base- ball is violating the Sherman anti- trust law by controlling and setting salary limits for ball players. Marsans also attacks—the ten-day clause which gives the club magnates the right to abrogate a contract with a player after ten days' notice, while the | player is denied the same privilege.

The Voluntown baseball team will commence their series with the Sa- chems today (Baturday) at Voluntown and Manager eldon is prepared to meet anything the Indians may bring along, and thinks they will have to g0 some to trim the home team.

Both Brookes and Wilding thrilled the crowd with their splendid service, but it was the frequent volleying that furnished most of the exciting inci- dents.

Next week at Pittsburgh the Aus- tralasians will meet the German rep- resentatives in a series for the priv- ilege of playing the British team.

Shortly” after the Philadelphia epi- sod, Delehanty, 2 .300 hitter and good fielder. dropped out of the league. Delehanty recently explained his mysterious disappearance and let out a itics that make Delehanty said: few secrets of organized baseball pol- interesting reading. “President Navin, of Detroit, came to Philadelphia when the boys were on strike and implored me to influence them:to go back.

A big league club can get fifty or sixty players from class B or class Cfor $750 every fall and then peddle them out the follow- ing spring to AA clubs for $1,500.

It's rather small bus--| iness, and I shan't mention any names, but one of these baseball merchants has a park not very far from the St. George hotel. “No, organized baseball isn't afraid of us a bit. That's why Ban and his friends are squawking worse than a Iot of baby ducks. But wait until the season advarices and interest dies out in the cities where the teams are in the ruck. Then you'll hear some real squealing. The O. B. Oowner can't stand galloping consumption of the ‘bankroil.” JOY (B Nt L T e T B mwe e ¥ “a Planters Easily Defeated New Haven.

New York, July 24—Reasons for the further decline in quoted values today lay largely on the surface. Aus- tria’s ultimatum to Servia and the re- ported failure of the Ulster confer- ence were perhaps the most important factors. There were other causes, however, such as impending additional gold ex- ports, increased damage to spring wheat and corn in the northwest, more freight rate suspensions in Mis- souri, Kansas and adjacent states and the assignment of a local firm of dry goods importers. Foreign markets were again demoral- ized, London and Berlin sold stocks held in considerable quantities, Can- adian Pacific was most In evidence with a decline of four points. Eries and Southern Railways also were offered at marked concessions for foreign holders and half a score of active issues, including New “York Central, Northern Pacific, Harrimans, the anthracites, United States Steel and Amalgamated Copper receded 1 to 3 points. New York Central rivalled Canadian in point. weakness, selling under any price quoted in over a score of years, and later the grangers and trunk lines as a whole went lower. The decline was at the time precip- itate, prices vielding easily on the ab- sence of substantial support. Such ac- tivity as was manifested was invarfa- bly when stock were selling off. Rallies seldon: exceeded fractions and were of brief duration. Lowest prices were registered in the final hour, in which period some large blocks of stocks changed hands, notably one lot of 3,- 000 shares of Reading. Foreign exchange continued firm with a hardening tendency to time loans, due to increased demand. Com- mercial paper was in better request at unchanged rates.

This is only one of the many baseball reforms offered ev- ery year, however, and it is safe to say it is not likely to meet with favor. The plan is not feasible, and it would rob baseball of many of its most pie- | turesque features. Tagging, or “putting the ball on a runner,” is really one of the fine points of baseball. and to eliminate it would virtually kill base-stealing, which is an art in itself. The rules at present provide that it is necessary to tag a runner when he is forced, or in making an out at first, and the plan suggested is to have all playes made in_the same manner. If such a rule were adopted there would be no necessity for a runner to slide into a bag, and while it would no doubt lessen the chances of injufy it would rob the game of much of its at- tractjfeness. Skill is required as much as speed in running the bases and sliding into a tag, and there i also a great amount of dexterity as well as danger in tagging base run- ners. There are more players injured in a season through Attempting to block @ base-runmer or getting their legs or arms in the way of a runners spikes than there are players hurt in sliding.
