FARRELL PUTS SCHULZ
CASE UP TO Big THREE
Won't Spend Nickel to Tie Up
Jumper Unless Ordered
by Commission.

The fate OF Heine Schulz. renegade
southpaw OF the New York Americans.
rests entirely with tho National Com
mission. President Frank Farrell OF tho
New Yorks will take action TO enjoin
this pitcher from appearing with the
Buffalo Federals only on the initiative OF
the triumvirate.
so far AS I am concerned Buffalo Is
welcome to Schulz" said Farrell yester-
day. Il wouldn't give plugged nickel
for any ono of his principle. ] think my
club will BIO far better of without him.
He showed his stripe by waiting till he
got TO Detroit before making the break
He wanted to save railway fare from St.
Louis to his home In Toledo.
II am going to put II up to the National
Commission. continued Mr.. Farrell
This body has absolute authority in all
matters relating TO the Federal League.
on my own account wouldn't spend five
cents over Schulz. not even for the salts
faction OF tying him up through law. /
think. though. that II the National Com
mission wishes me 10 stop him from play
ing In Buffalo 1t will be an easy matter.
, because that city Is In this State and an
injunction would keep the migrate Idle
at least half OF the playing season."
Any one possessed Of get rich quick
notions may realize his ambition IN
hurry II he happens to know of any good
bail players available for big league SER
vice.
I'd go long way TO land a couple
Of hitters," declared Farrell yesterday.
i've tried every way to secure them. but
II looks as II my poor luck Is going TO
run while longer. ! thought a month
ago that I'd beat Garry Hermann out
OF the hoodoo class. But his Reds are
up in the race ard I'm down.
There are plenty of substitute players
In leng1Ie that would halp
Chance out Of his difficulties. but to my
supplications my colleagues have turned
deaf ear. ST. Louis Las couple OF desir-
able men that cannot possibly break into
the Brown lineup. One OF them Is How
ard. Henrksen OF the Red Sox also
would look good to me right now.
Il cannot blame other club owners for
not wishing to part with their reserve
strength. Take the st. Louis club, for
example. II must conserve every energy
In order to maint;Sn tho pronounced VIC
tory 1t Is scoring every day against the
Federal League in that city. In it, recent
visit to st. Louis my club was paid more
for the one series than 1t has received
there In an entire season for the past
several years.
In one way" continued Mr.. Farrell,
II am one OF the few major league victims
| Of the Federal League. But for the indie
pendent movement l should have been
able by this timo to secure some OF the
players with other American league clubs
| that l now covet. II the National Com
mission. as war measure. had not re-
| scinded tho roster limit OF twenty-five
players to club such teams as St Louis
would not be carrying thirty men and
more. Out OF the discard am sure
should have been able to secure some
thing OF value"
Presiden: Charles H. Ebbets of the
Brooklyn club IL not the champion
weather prophet OF the country. The
squire called OF yesterdays game with
| Cincinnati shortly after noon. when there
was every indication OF continued rain.
Shortly afterward the skies cleared and
the sun shone forth.
Mr.. Ebbets was OF the opinion that the
grounds would have been too heavy for
spirited play in any event. Besides there
was strong counter attraction In New
York in the person Of the Pirates. Yes
terdays postponement with the Reds
stores up a double header for the future
when the Dodgers may be In better shape
10 give a good account OF themselves
against the National League contenders.
Gov. Tener, president of the National
League, has asked the cooperation OF
club owners In suppressing rowdyism on
the neld. He proposes that employers
| penalize players who are suspended as
result OF trouble with the umplres The
idea IL to make the offenders pay their
own hnes and for the time they lose
| through suspension,
James A. Gilmore. president OF the Fed
eral League. Is on on the. same tack
Gilmore has set down for three days Hap
Myers. the first baseman Of the Brook
feds, FOR Saturdays runin with Umpire
Cusack In Kansas City. Five OF the Bal
timore players were disciplined after be-
Ing ordered from the field at Chicago by
Umpire Bush, These were Manager
knabe and players Walsh. Doolan. Sim
mons and linn. Knabe was fined $50,
and with Walsh and Doolan was set down
for three days. Zlnn and Simmons were
reprimanded severely. In all cases of
| fines and suspensions Gilmore has asked
Federal League owners to force the play
ers to stand the toll
