COLUMBUS, Ca, March 1S.-Con-
certed action on the part of the In
:, ternational League clubs to recover
$ baseball players who have jumped to
the Federal League is not only pos
sible, but probable, in the near future
International League clubs, 1t is
understood, have drawn up the papers
in legal form covering the different
cases, and il 1t comes to a show
down the Newark Club will fight to
regain Cy Barger and Harry Swa-
Gina, according to good authority.
The whole action is dependent on the
outcome of the Killifer suit, which
Will be instituted tomorrow. The re-
cent meeting held by the Interna-
tional League was for the purpose of
determining on action in the courts
regarding deserters. There is no
question about that. Other Interna-
zNLona2 League clubs, besides the
Tigers, will make an effort to recover
players, too, II the word is given.
Meanwhile all of the clubs have pre-
:. pared themselves for action at very
short notice. Jack Dunn jumped
home from his training camp to
Baltimore for the purpose of looking
into the Danny Murphy incident. The
whole trouble in Murphy's case is
said to be the fact that Connie and
his heavy-hitting outfielder were not
the best of friends because of an
n ont w oh in
game of the worlds series. Murphy
argued and advised a pinch hitter
for Plank in that memorable inning
but Connie allowed Plank to bat. The
Athletics lost the game, and Murphy,
who had previously been very close
to Mack and had captained the Ath-
fetics, told Connie something which
Mack did not like. As result a cool
ness grew between the pair and Muir
ply got square by jumping after
being sold to the Orioles. Danny is
the only man Dunn lost and he is
eager to recover him, they say. The
Jersey City Club would value Joe
Agler's services immensely, but Presi-
dent Thomas Fogarty says: What
is the use of taking legal action and
enjoining a player when he would be
unable to play with the Feds or or

Tigers Leave Columbus.
The Tigers are saying goodbye to
Eolumbus today after spending three
full weeks here. On the whole, the
xuaafber uvaS ca+iSPa o+orv apd tho
Bengals profited by their stay here.
Manager Jim Fox of the locals was
anxious to get Phil Paynter, third
base recruit, to stay with the local
club. Manager Harry Smith stated.
however, that no players would be
would be no surprise if the Columbus
club got some of the Tiger rockies.
Fox would like an outfielder, two In
felders and pitcher.
In case Manager Smith decides to
help the local leader out, the players
will be shipped back here. Fox had
long talk with Paynter, but the
latter is not at all pleased at the
prospects of playing with Columbus
and he did not take at all kindly to
Foxs arguments.
Two Games at Macon.
The Tigers were scheduled to de-
part from Columbus at Ito today for
Macon, where two games will be
staged with the Boston Nationals.
George Stallings is likely to put up a
kick, but the pair of games were
scheduled and he will have to play
both or accept the penalty OF heavy
fine.
Harry Smith lectured his pitchers
yesterday morning in a lengthy talk
on signals. In the afternoon the
Yannigans defeated the Columbus
club, to /. The locals had Schacht
and Hall and both pitched cleverly.
Donnelly and Enzmann just toyed
with the home team, yielding four
scratchy hits. O'Rourke's two hits
were the feature. Bradley Hogg, the
Boston National pitcher who is a
friend of Ed. Donnelly's and who
lives just outside of Columbus, visited
the big right handler on his way to
Macon. to join the Stallingsites. The
pair were teammates in Boston a few
years ago. Donnelly would like to
get a crack at his old mates and may
pitch a few innings. Beanie Hall is
willing to pass up the Bean Eaters
if he can scare the Brooklyn players
with his bean ball when the Tigers
go to Augusta
