Mack Grills Players
Who Desert Majors

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 14.-Connie
Mack to-day took occasion TO grill
the players who leaped from the ma
jor leagues to the new Federal cir
cult.
THE Federal League" said the
Athletics manager, hasn't obtained
one valuable player except possibly
Falbenberg of the Maps. All the rest
are players who appeared slated for
release any minute.
II was much amused when ! read
in the papers about the line-ups of
the various teams In the Federal.
They put especial stress on the play
ers the Chicago and Baltimore teams
have dug up. looked in the list, and
were I betting man | would like to
wager that neither the Chicago nor
Baltimore teams could finish one, two,
three in either the American Associa-
ton or international League. AS for
the others, they are no better than
the rawest bush teams"

Keel Ready for Laying and Spars
for Yacht Well Under
Way.

ID OSTON, Feb. 14.-Work is be-
ID ing rushed on the spars of the
cup defense boat Defiance over
at Pidgeon Brothers works at East
Boston. The cup boats keel has al
ready been run at the Bath Iron
Works, Maine, and George Owen, the
Newton designer, Is confident Of hav-
ing the Defiance out at Marblehead
early in May.
The big spars will be hollow and
OF Oregon pine. They are the big
gest that the East Boston company
has tackled for some time and the
work is being rushed.
Although much secrecy surrounds
the building of all three cup defense
boats. it is known that the Owen boat
building for the Boston. New York
and Philadelphia syndicate will be an
extreme type of boat so far as sail
area and design Is concerned Owen
has had much success with the class
r boats that have been racing for a
number of years at Marblehead and
in Long Island Sound and the design
OF the Defiance will be after this
type.
It is almost certain that Designer
Owen and e. w. Clark, the owner
and skipper of the big racing schoon-
er IroIita, will be on the deck of the
Defiance during the trial races. al
though the actual command will de-
volve on Captain Howell, skipper for
George S. Pynchon on one of the New
York Yacht Clubs "fifties."

A very interesting feature OF
the next yacht race for the
America Cup will be that Mr..
w, p. Burton, whom Sir Thomas
Upton has secured for his
helmsman, is the first amateur
who has steered cup challenger
since Mr.. Beaver Webb sailed
the Galatea against the May
flower in 1886. Mr.. Burton
is unquestionably the best anna
teur in England to-day, and
besides winning the blue ribbon
for Is meter racing in Europe
for three years in succession, he
has won two Kings Cups, and
in all kinds of races in which he
has competed during the last
sixteen years, amounting to
something over 600 matches, has
won 375 prizes.
The operations for the Americas
cup have in past years been under a
measurement formula which produced
freaks-in fact, boats that were OF
Very little use for other purposes. This
next race will be under the universal
rule of measurement. and will pro-
duce boats eligible to race at ordinary
regattas. Now, of course, there is a
great deal of speculation as to what
Shamrock Nv will be like. Charles
rfg,1,. j H.
for this latest challenger of Sir Thorn
as Upton, is designer who has haG
wonderful success with lesser craft,
and there is much British confidence
in his ability. Some think that the
product will prove a radical design,
and IL already has been rumored that
this last Shamrock will have a center
board.
At any rate the greatest secrecy is
being preserved, even to the extent of
allowing none but unmarried men to
work on the laying Of the keell

boss intends to do about the matter.
Contracts have been mailed to both
Pinch MSCabe and Al Shaw, the two

Is on the anxious seat about his out
field. In years gone by about the only
place where the Vols displayed any

Keystone Callahan on the fence with

lieve that he is being relentlessly
pursued by a ink.
Only Seven Men Signed.
Only seven Vols have come into
the fold up to now, and of this bunch
three are veterans and the others are
all youngsters and semi pros of whom
little is known.
Then there Is Pitcher Rogers, from
Gallatin. made famous by Hub Pur-
due. who recommended him to Bill

there won five games and lost none.

Johnny Lindsay will have a rival in
