New York. Jan. 2e.-Ignoring the
activity of the Federal League mag
mates in their quest for big league
stars. the club owners of the American
and National Leagues have completed
their plains for the spring training
campaigns and are issuing formal
calls for the gathering Of veterans and
recruits. Within another month the
exodus to the various southern camns
will be under way and reports of the
sensational play of unknown Young
sters will find their way northward
to remind the fan that another season
of baseball is close at hand.

RESERVE But FEW MEN.
New York Scout Believes His Scheme
Would Euualize Teams.

New York Scout Believes His Scheme
Would Equalize Teams.
New York, Jan. 26.-Arthur Irwin.
chief scout of the Yankees, is trying
to interest the major leagues in a
scheme which would revolutionize the
game and at the same time rid base
ball Of its chief bugaboo-the reserve
clause. Irwin suggests that at the
close of each season each major
league club should have the privilege
of retaining no more than five. seven
or nine of its p1ayers-preferably five.
All other players n the clubs should
become free agents with the privilege
of selling their services to the highest
bidder.
The Peerless Sleuth points out that
in this way only the most valuable
players would ever be reserved and
these are always the ones favored by
such high salaries as to be perfectly
contented with their lot. The lesser
lights would be furnished every op-
portunity to advance their future and
financial interests while weak clubs
could more easily fortify themselves
by judicious expenditures.
Things have come to such a pass,
said the scout, that it is no longer
possible for a second division team to
build up without great patience and
expense. It is almost impossible to
buy q g3od player. He must be de-
|veloped. Tk~ 5truns >sms maintain

GILMORE CLAIMS IS.
Federal League Leader Is Defiant
Won't Give Out List.

Chicago, Jan. 26.-Three more major
league players, making a total of 86.
have signed with the Federal League,
President Gilmore has announced He
refused to give their names but assert
ed they were among the stars of or
ganized ball. Their identity will be-
come known when all the big leaguers
which have been signed and those who
are expected to sign. have been assign
ed to the various clubs of the new
league.
Mr.. Gilmore appeared to be well pleas
ed over the new acquisitions. He said
Catcher Arthur Wilson, of the New
York Nationals. was not one OF the
three.
The Federal League president said
he was not worried over the threats
from the New York American League
club that a legal effort would be made
to prevent Pitcher Cole from appearing
in a Federal League uniform. He said
he did not believe the New York club
had Coles written contract or his
terms.

Contracts Mean Nothing to Feds Since
Killifer Slipped.

Contracts Mean Nothing to Feds Since
Killifer Slipped.
Chicago, Jan. 26.-It's now a free
for-all fight between the Federal and
the leagues of organized baseball. A
contract means --othing. The fact
that a man is under contract to a club
in the Federal or to a team in organ
lied baseball means nothing. The
bars are down. The Federals claim
they are going after Christy Mathew
son, "Ty' Cobb, the great big stars of
the game. and this despite the fact
that these men have affixed their sig
natures.
The action of the Philadelphia club
of the National league in signing Will
had agreed to play with the Chicago
team of the third league. is the case
that threw down the bar. Charles w.
Weeghman, president of the Chicago
club of the Federal league is author
ity for the statement that Killifer not
only accepted terms and signed a con-
tract, but that he also accepted ad-
vance money. Killifer maintains that
he did not sign a contract with the
third league. But he was taken to
Philadelphia by William Shettsline,
| business manager of the Phillies, and
: there affixed his signature to three
year contract with the Phillies.
This means that the whole thing
will be threshed out in the courts.
Also that no club owner can rest be-
cause he has all of his men under
contract. Because President James
Gilmore has announced that since the
National league failed to recognize a
contract which the Federals had with
Killifer that the third organization
will pay no attention to contracts held
by the organized fellows.

BIG YEAR IN ASSOCIATION.

President ChivfngtOn Expresses Opin-

Chicago, Jan. 26.-"An set for a big
year." was President ChivingtOn's 8
pronouncement following the annual
meeting of the American association.
Chivington said the activities of the
Federals were ignored at the associa-
tion's gathering and that reports that
the Toledo franchise might be trans
ferred to Cleveland or Cincinnati, or
that st. PauPs franchise might be
moved to Chicago were untrue. The
injection of new blood into the In
dianapolis club by transfer of owner
ship to J. c. McGill. he said. would
work wonders over the circuit.

cept the Cincinnati agreement in it's
complete form, and the clause in par
ticular bearing and declaring void all
agreements not appearing specifically
in the players contract. Such outside
agreements which might, for instance
provide for a special bonus under GER
tain conditions, were legislated against
at the Cincinnati meeting. A fine of
$500 is the penalty provided against
the club making such outside agree
ment, and the player is automatically
released and becomes a free agent
when such agreement is proved.
The National association demanded
that the fraternity agree to a sliding

club affected, and a sixty-day suspen-
sion of the players before he became a
