Federals File Suit
Restraining Killifer
From Joining Phils

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH, March 20.
The reserve clause" in baseball play
ers contracts, the instrument by
which organized baseball has retained
its strangle hold on its athletes, was
brought into the Federal Courts here
to day with the filing or a petition
for a court order restraining William
j. Killifer. catcher for the Phladel-
phia Nationals. from breaking his
contract with the Chicago club of the
Federal League. The suit must be
prosecuted in Michigan because KILL
fer's home is at Paw Paw. in that
State. 1t will be heard April 3.
Edward E. Gates, of indianapolis.
general counsel for the Federal
League, filed the petition on behalf of
Charles Weeghman, president of the
Chicago Federal League club. A copy
of the contract signed by Killifer,
agreeing to play for three years with
the Chicago club for a salary Of
$5,S33.39 a year for three years, was
offered as exhibit "A"
The petition charges that Killifer
was paid $500 when he signed the
Federal League contract, and that he
agreed to report to the team to go
on it's spring training trip to Shreve-
port, La Killifer, according TO the
complaint, still retains the $500 and
has not reported for spring practice.
The complaint states that Killifer
is "a catcher of unique and eXtraor
binary skill and eXpertness, and Of
such personal and intellectual char
acter" that no other catcher can fill
his place.

Second Game Called
Off by Crackers and
Maps; Too Chilly

The second game between the
Cleveland Maps and the Crackers, set
for Friday afternoon, was called off
after a consultation between Billy
Smith, manager of the Crackers, and
Joe Birmingham, boss of the Maps.
Practice in cold air. on a wet and
slippery field is worse than no prac-
tice," said Bill, and Joe agreed with
him thoroughly.
81 don't want a crop of sore arms
to add to the other troubles of a
training season" said Joseph.
1t was the hope of both managers
that the weather would warm by
time for the Saturday matinee, by
which time it also was certain that
the field would be good and dry. pro-
vided j. Pluvius held off, which the
weather man expected him to do.

are also out again. Mauck and
Churchill will look after the weights

pected that one or two of the big
football men will get into shape for
these events 1t is probable that
Jean Patton will come out for the
broad jump. While in prep school
he negotiated close to 20 feet in this
event without training of any kind.
So far the outlook for long distance
men is rather hazy Jordan, who

won the mile at the Texas State prep
meet last year. and is out for the
event; but there are few others. Joe
Hayes has also come out TO learn
what he can do along this line.
The track is getting in good shape,
and the nice weather of the past few
days has enabled the bunch to get
off to a good start.

Jordan is showing up in fair form

he has absorbed a lot of knowledge

A sliding pit has been constructed,

Some of them are already finished in
