Major Leagues Mean To Open War on ‘‘Feds’’ By Recapturing Cole Doesn’t Depend on Reserve Clause, and President Farrell Expects to Get Him Back in Fold To-Day. Case of Highlander = By Bozeman Bulger. HE recapture of King Cole by I the Highlanders is to the Fed- erals like the first shot from Fort Sumter back in the means that the big league war dogs have cut loose, and no matter how big a dent ft makes in that million- dollar fighting fund, Organized Base- ball ts going out to yank back those jumping players if money can turn the trick. The plan was felt out in the cases of Kirkpatrick of the Dod- gers and Killifer of the Phillies, fol- lowing which learned lawyers gave opinions that the reserve clause would hold, That was enough, and now the only thing between the big league magnates and recovery of their lost athletes is the amount of money needed to turn the trick. And, believe us, they have the dough. The Players, in the mean time, should worry. Their day has come. Hard luck for those boysly Both sides have decided definitely to back their claims in the courts; but right pow the question of poases- sion is making things jump. It ts much more desirable to have the athlete and let the other side seek injunctions than to have the job of getting the injunction while the other fellow has the player. Possession ts only nine points in law, but it's easily ten or twelve in baseball. Notwithstanding the fact that Na- Ppoleon Lajole was stopped in Penn- sylvania when he jumped to Cle: land, for instance, he kept playing in the American League just the same, and drew thousands of extra dollars into the gates. CASE OF COLE DOE ‘se.

ALL PLANS COMPLETED FOR GIANTS’ TRAINING. All arrangements have been completed for the Giants’ South- ern training. About sixty people, incinding the wives of the play- ers, will be in the baseball colony at Marlin. Many youngsters, not under contract, will be given try- outs, Among them will be Will- iam Herring, a giant right-handed pitcher from Freeport, L. I. On Feb. 19 all the catchers, young pitchers and other recruits will start for the camp. Practice will commence four days later.

Still, the registry receipt | protects the owner of the High- landers. “Of course I had rather play in or. ganized baseball,” said Cole, whe arty surrounding him stopped hotel downtown; “but I thought Highlanders were going to pay me just 26 per cent. more than the Columbus salary, and, as the Feds offered more, t i All I_ want to know is that I am do- ing the proper legal thing in signing with New York again. My lawyer has told me that Mr. Farrell's accept- ance of my terms gave him the right to my services.” COLE SAYS TINKER WILL HOLD ON TO ALL HIS MEN. Cole says he hasn't heard much talk about what the Federals are go- ing to do about spring traini a ry" a much atten- that Joe Tinker is go! to all the players he has signed for his own team. He wants to win and is not going to give up just to help the league out.” The return of Arthur Irwin from ‘don, Wanderers Hockey Club, has been his long gumshoe trip through the ‘West brought out the fact that the woods are alive with big league scouts in pursuit of players who have jumped. They are loaded with money and ready to top any offer that the Federals have made to get back the athletes. When the season opens the cases can be fought out in the courts, but Organized Baseball wants the advantage by having pos- session. a ‘This latest move on the part of the big leagues has given the Fed moters quite @ shock, and, with a limited bank roll, they lize that they are up against a tough fight.

The committeemen who constitute the supreme court on all amateur athletic cases will hear evidence and try to determine whether the two Irish-Americans committed a fake when they finished the two-mile run in a dead heat. The action of the committee barring Kiviat and Kolehmainen caused a big stir in athletic circles, but it is surprising that the two runners whose amateur careers may be endangered are not the least bit concerned over the out- come of the committee's investiga- tion. Both Kiviat and Kolehmainen, through Lawson Robertson, ir trainer and handler, to-day said Y they would appear before the Reg- istration Committee to-morrow and answer all questions. They deci that they would certainly not e1 counsel, that they had done n no charges had even been against them.
