There is no use of the Federal
League sending any more of its ennis
saries or communications to Eddie
Murphy, the star right fielder Of the
champion Athletics, with view Of
having him accept a berth with the
outlaw organization, for the simple
reason that he intends taking firm
er hold on his job with Connie Mack.
Murphy was loath to admit that he
had received any letters or offers
from the Gilmore organization, but
he came right out with the declara-
ton that Mack and the Athletics had
always treated him right and that
he intends doing the same with them.
Eddie says he would be foolish to
think Of jumping to the outlaws.

The jury in the case of Jess Willard,
charged with violating the State law
against prize lighting, reported last
night at Los Angeles that it had been
unable to reach an agreement. Judge
Craig ordered the members locked up
for the night. Willard engaged in a
contest with Bull Young at Vernon
Arena August o. 1918, and Young died
few hours afterwards. The point
in question is whether the contestants
intended to engage in prize-fighting.

RELEASE HIGGINS
TO NEW ORLEANS
Newark Management Sells
Catcher to Southern AS
sociatiOn Club.
SMITH TO VISIT EBBETS

A deal which has been hanging fire
for some time was closed today,
when Robert Higgins, catcher for the
Newark International League Club,
was sold to the New Orleans South
ern Association team. That Higgins
was slated to go and that he would
probably be sold to New Orleans was
announced some time ago in these
columns. Higgins has long been de-
sirous of playing in the Dixie League
near his home and the Newark Club
decided to part with him last fall.
The Tiger management evidently
has some good catchers on the way,
and an interesting announcement may
be made in the near future. Manager
Harry Smith will visit President
Charles H. Ebbets, jr., today to have
a conference with the clubs execu-
tive.
The Newark Clubs headquarters
will be transferred from the present
rooms, 1908 Ordway building, to new
suite on the ninth floor of the same
building. Rooms 905 and 906 have
been engaged. The old quarters were
entirely too cramped for President
Charles H. Ebbets jr. The work OF
getting tickets printed for the OPEN
ing games of the exhibition season, as
well as the International League sea-
son, is now under way. A contract
was placed with a Philadelphia firm
recently to supply the club with
pasteboards again. 1t is expected that
the demand for reservations for the
opening day next April win exceed ALL
other years because the Bengals cap
tured the championship, and Newark
at last can boast pennant winner.
Two or three requests for boxes on
opening day, April q, have already
come into the local offices.

more, of the outlaw league, however,
insists that the stars will be pretty
evenly divided throughout the league.
Just how this socialistic scheme can
be worked out is a mystery. 1t may
be that Tinker, who has been most
successful in getting jumpers, will do
the bidding for the entire league. The
Federals have been making a number
of wild shots, it appears, with their
offers, and it seems that number of
them are going astray.
The Kansas City Club yesterday
succeeded in inducing Outfielder
Arthur Kruger to break away from
the Los Angeles Club of the Pacific
Coast League. The Federal League
clubs, outside of Chicago, will have
to do a great deal of strengthening to
prevent the Tinker team from win

however, is the Federal stronghold,

nant. anyhow, If money can turn the

DEFERS ALL LEGAL ACTION

Notwithstanding Joe Tinker's in
tention not to play organized base
ball this year, as evidenced by his
signing to manage the Chicago Fed
eral League team, Charles H. Ebbets,
of the Brooklyn National League club
announced yesterday that he would
mail Tinker a Brooklyn club con-
tract this week
I'm my opinion" said Ebbets, "as
far as our taking legal steps to keep
Tinker from playing with the Fed
erals is concerned, we would have to
wait until he actually begins to play
with the Federals before applying for
an injunction. Until he does that
we will not know positively that he
is not going to come into the Brook
Ign fold.
1.-THE National League is naturally
going to protect itself against the
invasion of the Federals, but what
steps are to be taken I am not pre-
pared to disclose. The most foolish
thing the National League could do
now would be to show It's hand"

Barrow Hits Feds Hard.

President Edward G.. Barrow, of the
International League, rolls up his
sleeves and takes few wallops at the
Federals. Barrow blames the news
papers for overestimating the
strength of the invaders.
I'm the first place." says Mr.. Bar
row, they are trying to masquerade
as a major league when they never
can become one. They will have about
four major league players to a team,
but that will not make them a major
league. They have a minor league
circuit. Toronto, Baltimore and Buff
falo turn out good crowds, but they
do not turn out major league crowds.
1.-THE players who Jumped to the
Federals were disloyal to their en-
ployers Men like Tinker, Brown and
Knabe were in organized baseball
long enough to know that loyalty to
the reserve clause is one Of the foun
dations of organized baseball and as
much part of their contract as their
salary.
II will say that the International
League will fight these fellows to a
finish in any of our cities where they
intend to place teams. So far I have
not heard of them signing any of our
men, though L have three letters
which the Pittsburgh Federals have
sent to my players. 1 might add that
these players were not offered as
much as they are getting In organized
baseball"
