BARROW PUTSFOOT
!. DOWN ON JUMPERS
International League Head
Won't Let Montreal Take AL
len and Smith Back.

According to an announcement
made by President Edward Barrow,
of the International League, players
of that organization who violated
| their contract by jumping to the Fed
eral League, will not be permitted
| to return to the International League
under any circumstances. President
Barrow stated that the case of
| Pitcher Frank Smith, who deserted
| the Montreal team of the Interna-
! tional League for the Baltimore Fed
erals and returned to the Montreal
Club on Sunday was one in point. 1t
was decided that Smith, having vio-
lated his contract with the Montreal
Club, could not return and play with
the international League despite the
fact that he reported back to Mon
treal of his own volition.
The same ruling was made upon
the case of Pitcher Allen, of the
Baltimore Federals, who came to
Montreal with Smith. Allen, previous
to his signing with Baltimore was
not member of any club recognized
by organized baseball. 1t was ruled,
however, in deserving the Baltimore
Federals he had violated a contract
and was therefore barred from the
International League.
That the major leagues are not so
scrupulous as the executive of the
International circuit has been illus
trated forcibly. Bob Hedges, owner
of the st. Louis Browns, welcomed
with open arms the return of Pitcher
Earl Hamilton. Cleveland killed the
fattest calf for the recalcitrant
Blanding and Kahler This club is
still fighting for Deserter Cullop and
would go to any length to meet Cy
been the policy of the majors to hide
the great lights under any bushels.
New York fandom remembers well
the ease with which Hal Chase
gained reinstatement at the hands of
the National Commission after he
jumped to the coast outlaws in Grit
fith's sorry days of 1908.
President Barrows appeared some
what incensed at the report circu-
lated throughout the East that Frank
Chance, of the Yankees, might recall
Birdie Cree and Bert Daniels, his for
rer outfielders, from the Baltimore
International League Club. These
stories have caused Jack Dunn no
end of annoyance. The Baltimre fans
who have remained loyal to the In
ternational League in face of the
Federal invasion, are preparing to
mutiny now. They think the two out
fields who have signed slugged so
well for the Orioles as good as lost
already, and night and day are heap
ing abuse on the head of the inof-
fensive Dunn.

The Bengals entered the run
column in the very first round. Bert
Tooley, who did much to bring VIC
tory, started off with a single to
centre Move laid down a sacrifice
bunt. Tooley kept on running toward
third base, and when Jack Flynn
threw to head him off no one covered
the base, and Bert ambled to the
plate. Things looked well for the
Royals in their initial round, when
Keller started with a single, but he
got no further than first base. Two
more tallies were added to the
Tigers count in the third inning.
Mike Heckinger began with a nifty
two-bagger to left centre. He raced
to third on Holmquists sacrifice
bunt Tooley then came up and
smashed the leather sphere
to the left centre field fence, stopping
at third base and sending Heckinger
over the plate. Move did the timely
act with a one-b aser to right, and
Tooley denied the home dish. Myers S
bunt fell safely along the third base
line. Dale replaced Dowd and forced
Callahan to ground out to Flynn.
Getz was easy for Dale for the third
out.

third inning. Keller walked. Tooley's
throw of Kipperts grounder struck
Keller and both runners were safe.
Keller raced over the plate on White
mans single to left. After Flynn had
grounded to short, Deininger's long
fly to right enabled Kippert to score.
Cunningham's double to the left field
fence fetched in Whiteman with the

Barry was spiked in game against

Yesterday no one would have guessed
that he had been injured in any way,
for he was up to his old tricks on the
field, as well as at bat. Jack handled
nine chances without a slip and in
the eighth inning he beat out an in
field roller, which shows that he has
lost none of his speed.
