GILMORE PLANS TO
SEIZE YOUNGSTERS
Will Wait for Them to Be Drop
ped to Bushes Before Offer
ing Large Salaries.

James A. Gilmore's raid on organ
lied baseball will commence the mo-
ment the major league clubs begin
dropping their players back to the
bushes. The players are now working
under probationary contracts. Before
going back to the minors these players
will have to sign new contracts and
Gilmore and his representatives Will
tackle these players. Offering them
fancy terms to jump the traces.
Since the activities of the Federal
League started several weeks ago.
President Gilmore has hinted at mas.
ter-stroke which the Federals woula
make before the baseball season opened
in April. When asked where he was
going to get enough players to make UP
a circuit of eight teams. he smiled and
said that the Federals would have no
trouble in getting the players. At that
time no one knew just what MIR. Gill
more meant, but within the past rev
days the purpose Of the outlaws has
daWned upon organized ball.
There are sixteen major league CLUBS
in the South, and each club VIII turn
back to the minors at least eight play
ers.
Aside from the weeded out players OF
the major leagues, there are also the
rnen who will be cast of by the Ameri-
can Association and the International
League. There will be at least thirty. :.
five players sent back from each OF
these leagues which will bring the
number Of available players in both
the majors and the Class "A organiza-
tions up to a total Of nearly Do players.

MARYLAND SENATORS
FAVOR MORE RACING
Knife Bill Eliminating Commits
sion and Give Sport Years
Lease of Life.

ANNAPOLIS. Md. March ll.-Shortly
after the senate lin nIncc and the house
WAYS and means committee had heard
a large delegation Of business men ap-
peal for the passage or Il %islation abol-
inshing racing in Maryland. the senate
yesterday killed Sehat pr Williams bill
eliminating the IIarfn:rd County Racing
coInInission and thereby the IIavre lie
Grace race track. The vote was IS to
10. The bill was brought INTO the senate
with AN unfavorablc report from the
committee on judicial proceedings and
after short debate the report was
adopted.
, Surrounding the vote are cirCufn-
stances that preclude it from il repre-
senting absolutely the sentiment of the
Senate on race track legislation. hut it
is believed approximately TO do so.
There are still before the senate bills
| to abolish all racing in the State and u
| on the subject
The williams bill was aimed directly
at the Havre de trace race track. II
repealed the act of ial2 that provide
| for the Tegula ton, "on:ro! and licensing
| OF horse racing within Hartford county
and created the HaTfori County Racing
| Commission. This commission was cni-
powered to provide license fees for the
| conduct of horse racing in the county.
| As the Hayre de Grace race track was
licensed under this acI, II would have
] been wiped out OF existence had the bill
passed.

Midget Third Sacker's Perfect
Physical Condition Bears
Good Augury.
By THOMAS KIRBY.

UNIVERSITY. Va. March u.-Whlle
it is rather difficult TO gauge a pall
player in the limited time In which the
permanent Nationals have been here
one Of the distinctive features of the
practice has been the improvement OF
Ed Foster over his 1913 form.
After being laid low by a disease that
at times threatened to end most serl-
ously, Foster never quite reached his
real standard of work last season.
From many came the prediction that
the after effects of the typhoid might
forever end Fosters value. In most
cases. the fever is followed by taking
Oh of weight that would drive man
of Fosters build out of the game.
In 1872 Foster was one Of the Sensa-
tions of the year. NOT alone in fielding
but in hitting, his performances in the
hit and run, with MoelIer ahead of him,
many times turning the flow of ad-
vcrsity to wave of victory for the
Griffs.
IL the illness of last spring and part
OF the summer has left any i'll results
Oh the third baseman it cannot be seen
by the naked eye. Foster has natural
slouchy way of moving around, both on
and off the field when there is nothing
at stake, but once he hits or the Dali Is
batted in his direction he throws il into
the high, and flashes around until the
play is completed then he drops back
into his normal stride. This leads many
TO believe the >oddess of speed, who
ever she might bc. never visited the lad
who guards the last turn for the Ma
tionals.
But this is entirely a misconception.
Foster is as wise and willing u player
as there is i'll the ranks and on more
ttan one occasion when asked 10 puo-
IicaIIy cAplain his SUCCESSES at the
Captal Griffith has said that Foster
was among th" most important figures
in both of tn" CarnpaiCIIs.
This spring Foster has shaken off all
letharCy and the manner in which he
hops about has drawn forth comment
from all WHO have given his work par

From Baltimore TO Cincinnati the

their fellow Sox here that they had

CLIMBERS HAVE
BATTLE CRY

UNIVERSITY, Va, March H.
Hughey Jennings and his De-

tie cry of "Weee Yaah" and this
will always be attached to that
club as long as the fiery coacher
holds his present place.
But if the Griffithian voices hold
out the Tiger yell will have
nothing on the "Yeaah Haw."
This yelp apparently has no
more meaning than a fortune to
dead man, but it is an inde-
scribable exclamation that car
ries much meaning and is es-
pecially used as an expression
of pleasure.
Let a batter whale the ball out for
clean hit, a pitcher be slow
bridged" or a man make a cir
Gus catch and the greeting OF
the feat is always the same
"Yeaah Haw''-whether coming
from the sky-gashing screech

can depths of c. Gandil.
