the mitt enables Gabby 10 absorb a.
fast one with no particular jar to his

Gabby is mighty stylish catcher,
especially in Glass A company.
A LSO, Gabby is q pretty fair hitter
and has a good head, which he
uses freely. And he is a veteran of
much experience.

players are no exception to the
rule.

players would yield to the
Establishments OF the promoters
and jump to the Feds" in a
minute If they were not re-
strained by their far-seeing
spouses. The female OF the base
ball species believes that sure
thing in the way of salary, as
long as the male OF the species is
able to make good, is far better
than a little advance money and
a three-year contract with the
Feds" at slight advance over
what organized baseball offers
THE risk the player takes in
1 jumping to the Feds" is that
while he may get a bunch Of ad-
vance money and be temporarily
benefited h is likely TO be high
and dry on the baseball rocks be-
fore the season is fairly started.
If the Federal League "busts
the player will. no doubt, have to
go to law to collect on his con-
tract, and, Of course. while he is
fighting the case, he will draw no
money from baseball
The major leagues will be
mighty slow ir allowing the
jumpers to return to organized
ball The jumpers Will not be
publicly blacklisted, but there
will proba bly, be a "gentleman's
agreement" by which all hands

apparently had a slight shade in his
20-round bout with Gilbert Gallant.
Of Boston, at Dreamland Park last
night, the Boston boys strong finish
evidently influenced Referee Jim
Griffin to call the battle a draw.
The Bostonian put up a game bat
tie and the decision was popular with
the fans. Burns was the cleverer and
landed the cleaner punches, but Gal
lants blows seemd to carry more
steam behind them. The men had the
crowd in a uproar in the final round
when they stood toe to toe and ex-
changed punches. Gallant was the
aggressor in the early rounds. but
appeared to fade away as the fight
progressed until the sixteenth round,
when he came on again.

DRETTY nearly at the same time
we hear of two things, as fol-
lows:
% That Chapman has decided to
jump from Billy Smiths fold to the
Federal League.
90 That Moose Mccormick, up in
Chattanooga. wants to sell or trade
Gabby Street.
Granting that both these reports
are true. the whole business-or at
least Clause appears to be provi-
dental.
THERE'S no denying the Chapman
man matter looks pretty gloomy.
Bill Smith admits that if Chappy
means to play with the Crackers in
1914, he is taking a funny way of
showing 1t.
AS to Handsome Harry and his al
legged desire to swap, trade, sell or
otherwise dispose of G. Street, we
can't understand why he should have
to advertise this piece of property
very extensively without finding a
market.
Breaking it gently. we wouldn't
mind seeing Gabby in a Cracker uni
form next spring-granting that
