II ANSAS CITY. No, Dec. 27.-That
X unloading of information regard
n ing the wholesale grab of major
league players and plans of the Federal
league promised by President James
A. Gilmore, failed to take place. Evil
IDENTIFY Mr.. Gilmore was informed by
the magnates that to divulge this in
formation would not be good thing
just at this time
While we have no local authority for
the statement, it is rumOred at least
that the Federals are not having such
an easy time Turing major leaguers
into the new organization as they had
imagined. 1t takes more than Ordi-
nary intelligence to leave a job that
IS a certainty in a well established or
ganizatiOn for one in a new proposition.
According to information said to
have been slipped into the ear of
sporting writer after the St Louis
meeting, each club deposited $4,000
more TO assure the players who jump
to the new league that they will get
their salaries.
But why not look at it from busi-
ness standpoint Recently we asked
a National league player if he would
jump or if he thought others would
jump Yes, they viii" he said. under
one condition. If they can get three
year contracts and the three years
salary for their services is placed in
bank to be drawn only by the play
ers so much per month or per year"
=
That is just the way all the major

and his showing in that match win de-
termine his plans for the future
Kid Williams, the Baltimore Whirl-
wind, and Eddie Campi, the clever Cal
ifornia youngster Tim AIcGrath has
been nursing along, are matched to
fight for the right to battle COulon
for the championship-in the event of
the latters return to form.
Williams is regarded in the east,
where he has cleaned up all opposition,
as the best boy of his weight in the
country, and his grand record warrants
his friends and supporters in predict
ing a great future for him. The kid
announces that he will wage a vigor-
Gus campaign to compel COulon to meet
him for the table, provided, of course,
he defeats Campi decisively.
As both Williams and Campi are
corking good bantams, the outlook for
CoulOns continued reign as champion
of the bantams does not look as cheer
full as it might. A number of experts
have already gone on record as pre-
dieting Johnny's defeat in a match with
either But COulOn has no big kick
coming. He has had his fling. and
youth must be served. 1t is hoped.
however, that the champion RECEIVERS
his form and viii be able to get into
condition to put up a battle in defence
of his title. There would be little glory
rof either Williams or Campi in beat
ing a sick boy.

or National league player now on the

element in baseball circles.

Jeanette is considered heavyweight

GunbOat Smith who WallOped the

America other than Arthur Pelkey for

was postponed once because of rain,
and the second because of Ritchie's

Frank Gotch is in bad with the city

leaguers we have talked to feel about
it. Now for a few figures
In order to give the patrons Of the
Federal League major baseball each
club must have at least fifteen players
OF major league class. such players
will cost them on an average of So
GOO salary for three years work The
total would be S150,000 for each club
This amount to be put in the bank
for salaries alone. This does not in
clude the salary of the manager or
any running expenses of the club and,
it is said George StOya1 OF the Pack
ers is TO get $4,000 for three years
work
According to figures supposed to be
given out by Federal league officials
the clubs deposited S25, 900 each up to
the last meeting, when they were sup
posed to have put up $4,000 each adj
ditiOnal making a total sum of $4,000,
or one half the amount it would cost
for fifteen major league players salar-
les.
Figure it out for yourself
OF course the Federals may be plan
ming on depOsiting a lot more money
for salaries and other expenses and
they may be able to gather up millions
before the season opens And they
may be able to get high class players
without depositing their three years
salaries in the bank, but this line of
reasoning furnishes food for thought
for the bugs who are enjoying the pas
timing in the hot stove league this
winter
