FED. LEAGUE MAY CARRY
FIGHT INTO THE COURTS

Chicago, January H.-The decisive battle
of the baseball war of 1914 may be fought
in a federal court This was intimated
today by persons close to the promoters
of the Federal league, who served notice
that they would fight any attempt of clubs
in organized baseball to sign their play
ers.
The legality of the reserve clause in the
contracts of National and American
leagues will be the point over which the
battle will rage, but when or where the
contest will start was not made public.
After delivering a challenge to organized
ball, declaring the Federal league would
protect it's players and their contracts,
President Gilmore of the new organiza-
tion today disappeared.
The announcement of the signing of Kill
lifer and Brennan of the Philadelphia Ma
tionals was made SO soon after Gilmore

NATURALIZED JAP
IN UNITED STATES

Los Angeles. January 2l.-Since 1896,
Ullyssie S. Kaneko, rated as one of south
ern CALIFORNIA; wealthiest japanese, has
enjoyed all the privileges of American cit
izenship, including the right to vote. Fed
eral officials investigating his status, have
made the discovery that Kaneko is the
only naturalized japanese in the United
States.
Despite the law denying rights of cti-
zenship to orientals. Kaneko was granted
full naturalization papers IS years ago.
His eldest son. also foreign born has
been exercising the franchise in the be-
lief that it was conferred by the fathers S
certificate of citizenship.
1t was announced today that proceed
ings would be instituted by the govern
ment to revoke the orientals naturaliza-
ton papers.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-01-22

had warned the Quaker City club that
the Federals would fight if Killifer and
Brennan were signed, that it looked to
the Gilmore cohorts like the formal pick
ing up of the gauntlet
. Federal leaguers declare themselves so
confident that the reserve clause will be
held illegal that they predicted tonight a
grand scramble for signed ball players
as soon as court decision is made.
Information came from Ban johnson,
president of the American league, that
Ed Sweeney, the New York Americans
catcher, had received an offer from his
club which probably would result in his
remaining with the Yankees, despite a
good proposition from the Federals.
The Chicago Federals probably will train
at Mineral Wells, Tex, Manager Tinker
announced tonight. Tinker will try to in
duce Manager Brown to bring the st.
Louis team there too.

PLAYERS TO Be GIVEN
CHANCE TO RETURN
international to Take No
Steps Against Federal
Until Spring

New York. January 21.-President
Edward Barrow of the International
league said today that the few play
ers of the league who have jumped to
the Federal league will have until the
opening of the season to reconsider
their action. After that date they Will
be eliminated as far as the Interna-
tional league is concerned. He said:
THE International league will not
make any attempt at retaliation so
long as competition is fair, above
board and on its merits.
THE stories being sent out from the
Federal league headquarters regard
ing certain players and umpires being
signed are frequently reports made out
of whole cloth. with the evident in
tention of encouraging ball players to
join the Federal organization. As an
illustration. | can state that Umpire
Brick owens. whom the Federal league
claims to have signed up, was signed
some 10 days ago to an International
league contract

EXCITING SCENES
At COURTHOUSE
Man Attempts to Take Coat
From Mr.. Stallings'
Office

About noon yesterday a stylishy
dressed white man about 50 years of age
walked into the office of Jack Stallings.
court stenographer. located on the third
floor of the courthouse, and after looking
around the apparently tcnantless office
approached the clothes rack and after ex-
amining the several overcoats that were
hanging there, threw one over his arm
and started to leave the office. His ac-
,tions had been watched by A. w. Brazel-
ton, one of the court reporters, who was
reclining on a lounge in another room.
As the man started to leave Mr.. Brazel-
ton jumped up and securing pistol from
his desk tried to intercept the would-be
thief who dropped the coat in the passage
way leading to the office and started to
run Mr.. Brazelton caught him at the
head of the stairway and at the point of
his pistol made him return to the office
where he was turned over to the sheriff
on a warrant issued by Judge II. b. Aber-
nethy. who set his bond at $1,000.
He gave his name as George Patterson,
but refused to make any statement other
than to say he would speak at his trial
on being searched $40 was found in his
pockets, but no weapon other than a
man than Mr.. Brazeton and when he
was stopped by him at the head of the
stars threw his hand behind him. Mr..
Brazelton held his gun in the mans
stomach and ordered him to throw UP
his hands which he very promptly did.
Il don't know what made me do it, he
remarked to his captor as he was being
escorted back to the office. Neither do
t. was the laconic reply.
He was taken. in charge by Deputy
Sheriff Fred McDuff and placed in Jail
on warrant charging grand larceny. He
will be given a hearing this afternoon
by Judge H. b. Abernethy.

WORDSWORTH HAS CORRALED
TOGETHER LIKELY BUNCH OF
MATERIAL FOR NEXT SEASON
by ASA RoUNTREB, JR.

With sagacity nurtured in the hard
school of experience, Carlton Molesworth,
the Earon chieftain, carefully culled the
bushes last fall in search for promising
youngsters who could Prove of value to
the local team. His search extended
throughout the country and as a result
of his discerning powers the Barons have
collection of material for next sea-
son that will compare favorably with
that of any other club in the circuit.
Despite the fine combed research of the
major league scouts Moley succeeded
in gathering together a band of young
sters that from all appearances have the
ability to render service suitable for
Southern league company.
With last seasons squad as a nucleus
the club looks especially formidable A
trio of 300 hitters are inscribed on the
roster, while there is another trio who
have averages of better than $50.
Three 800 Hitters on Roster
Magee, a brother of Sherwood Magee
of the Phillies, who was secured from
the Lowell club in the New England
league, leads all OF the players corraled
by Moley with the willow Last year
he batted 1854, failing by narrow mar
gin to lead his circuit. Knisely of last
years aggregation, swatted the pellet for

AL DEMAREE
SIGNS CONTRACT

New York, January H.-The signed
contract of Al Demaree, one of the
crack pitchers of the New York Ma
tional league club, was received today
by President Hampstead. Demaree
signed for three years. The Federals
had made him an offer.
President Frank Farrell of the local
American league club, would not dis
cuss the jump of Russell Ford, the
clubs one-time star pitcher, to the
Federal league. 1t is understood that
the local club had cut Ford's salary
in the contract sent him for 1914.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-01-22

will be turned over to the Barons before
the season opens. The release of Bill
McGilvray indiates that 1eary will be
the regular first sack guardian next sea-
son. Unless Bob Messenger is returned
by the st. Louis Browns during the
spring it is very likely that Magee will
fill his shoes in the right garden.
In Magee and Leary the Barons are
said to have two of the most promising
youngsters In baseball. President Baugh
stated that while he was in Columbus
attending the annual conference of minor
leagues that he was told again and again
that the Barons had certainly two prizes
in these youngsters and that from all
appearances they would render valuable
aid to Molesworth next season.
Magee is also the leading run setter
on the roster for 1914, with an even 100
to his credit. Leary is second with 72,
while Marcan follows closely in his
footsteps, having only two less. Leary
ranks first in safeties with 1S1, while
Magee is second, having chalked up
ia. In base pilfering Leary and Mar
can are tied with 80 each. Mcdonald
ranks second with 80.
Fielding of Recruits Good
In a majority of instances the field
ing of the recruits is very good. Two
of the pitchers. Finneran and Sloan,
of the season. Leary also had an ex-
cellent average for a first baseman,
fielding 1887.
The 1913 batting and fielding aver
ages of the players that will receive
tryouts in the spring are as follows:

curing good array of pitching talent
for next season. Finneran, who was
purchased from the Phillies, led the New
England league in 1918, with an aver
age of .S75, losing only two games out
of 16 pitched. Johnson, who twirled last
year In the Wisconsin-Il Illinois league;
Ponder, who cavorted In the Texas
league in 1913, and Harben, also from
the Texas, are three who come highly
recommended. Each has an average bet
ter than 500, and according to reports
