CHICAGO FEDS POOR.
Compilation Of Averages Show Them
to BE Second Division Club.

Chicago. Feb. 2-The first authorfta-
tive lineup Of Federal League club is
that announced by Joe Tinker for Chi
cago. A careful analysis OF the batting
and fielding averages of those players
with either major or fminor league ex-
perience fails to show anything sensa-
tional in the new organization. Chi
cago has been the hotbed Of the Fed
eral League movement since the pro-
posed circuit was first discussed and
it Is natural that one Of the strongest
available combinations should be se-
lected for that city.
OF the sixteen players named as pos
sible members of the club, eight figured
in the minor leagues. while others
played for obscure clubs. the records
of which are not available. Using the
figures taken from the major and minor
league records of last year and assum-
ing the Federals can secure the services
of Killifer and other big leaguers, as
originally claimed the team batting
and fielding averages indicate that the
Chicago Federals would rank sixth in
American League batting averages and
below last place in the National
League. In team fielding, eighth place
in the National would be their position,
one point better than the Boston club,
which finished last in 1913. In the Amer
ican League the new Chicago club
would fit in between Washington, $3.50.

been offered a bonus of $500 if he
can induce Seaton to jump the Phil
lies and sign a Federal League con-
tract. Seaton lives in small Colo

the Federal representative in Pueblo,
according to the gossip among ball
players here.
George Stovall, the Federal League
manager here, is said to be on the
trail of Bill Kenworthy, the former
Denver utility player. Kenworthy was
drafted by the Washington American
League club in the fall of 1912. After
a tryout in the spirng with Washing
ton he was sent to the Sacramento
club of the Coast League, where he
hit close to 800 and played his usual

McAlester, Okla, Feb. 2.-"I think
I'll quit my job at the prison." said
Miss Mary Foster today as she lay In
a hospital recovering from a wound
received in the Oklahoma state prison
mutiny where seven lost their lives.
Miss Foster is a telephone operator
at the prison. She saw the three con-
victs-Charlie Koontz, Tom Lane and
China Reddish into the room in
which she was working and kill three
men before her eyes.
Then one of them grabbed her and,
using her as a shield, started out the
door. The prison guards were afraid
to shoot because they did not want to
hit the girl. Just as the prisoners
reached the front gate, one guard
fired. The shot entered Miss Fosters
right leg. The convicts still refused
to release her and, climbing into a
waiting buggy. made her go with
them. She screamed and shrieked,
but at the same time begged the men
to give themselves up. She says two
were willing, but the other refused.

TAX BASEBALL GAMES
New York Would H: state Commits
sion to COntro. Affairs.

New York. Feb. 2.-To provide
funds for the extension of the public
Fairgrounds movement, Assemblyman
Mark Goldberg will introduce a bill
in the legislature at Albany probably
tomorrow providing for a tax of per
cent on the gross receipts of the home
games of the New York and Brooklyn
National League teams and of the New
York American League club. AS at
present proposed the Goldberg bill
makes no provision as to the minor
league teams. In addition to pro-
viding for the per cent tax the bill
creates a state baseball commission
with power to grant and revoke Ii
censes to clubs. Such a commission
Assemblyman Goldberg believed would
end speculation during worlds series
games. Opposition to the measure, il
is believed. will develop around the
provision to tax only three big league
teams.

Albert Clark and family lived on the

Neighbors were called out, but not

in the parlor. The house was one of
the most modern farm houses that
could be built, costing nearly 81, 900. In
surance to the amount of $500 had

Dunmire and Greenlees played a great

On account of the close guarding un-

forwards were compelled to attempt
many wild chances from the center of
the court. During the first half.
which ended with the Jayhawkers in
the lead by 10 to Jones made the
only "Aggie" goal from field of the
period, the rest of the points being
made by free throws. But three more
of the field baskets were registered by
the Farmers during the remainder of
the game. Captain Sproull Of the Jay
hawkers was in much better form,
but the individual star of the game
was the midget Van DerVries, who
flipped seven goals from field. Captain
Root and Jones did the best work for
the 'Aggies." Weaver, Leonard and
Jones were put out of the game on
account of four personal fouls, while
Broberg of the Aggies was banished
for slugging. Toward the close the
