The big chiet is the second star pitcher of the form- er world’s champions to jump to the Federal league this week, Eddie Plank having_signed a contract at Gettys- burg, Pa., Jast Wednesday to play with' the St. Louis club. _ Bender has confirmed “the report that he had gone over to the Federals. He saidhe met Harry Goldman, of { the Baltimore club and lost no time in signing. “The terms of the contract are very satisfactory and it is the best thing 1 ever did in_my life” said he Ghief. Bender said he knew others who were going to sign Federal league contracts; but refused to disclose their identity Connie Mack, mapager of the Ath- letics, said he was not surprised when told t Bender had gone over to the Federal league. “I expected -it. His contract with Philadelphia expired this vear” he said, “and 1 did not intend to renew it. Bender was sinmply under resery and the matter islentirely up to him.

According to President _ Gilinore, the Buffalo Feds will have Hal Chase Russell Ford, Ray Caldwell, George McBride, Ray' Collins, Ping Bodie and Heine Schulz on their payrolls next season. It is estimated that the con- tracts for these plavers will amount to more han $30,000. The other men probably will draw $45,000 more— say fifteen players at an average of $3.000. each. In view of the rating of Buffalo as @ minor league city who will be willing to foot the bills? i ikl $300 for Jack Zeller. When Bill Finnegan . bf the Pitts- field baseball club was transferved to Columbia. of the South Atlantic league last year, an agreement was reached between Manager Zeller of th Pittsfield club and management whereby a pu rchase price of $300 was set. Evidently the Columbia club has not' lived.up t oits agreement, as the national commission has handed down a decision in which the South atlantic league .club is ordered to pay the price. the ~Southern First C man to Sign_With Majors.
