Federals File Suit
Restraining Killifer
From Joining Phils

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH, March 20.
The reserve clause in baseball play
ers' contracts, the instrument by
which organized baseball has retained
its strangle hold on its athletes, was
brought into the Federal Courts here
to-day with the filing or a petition
for a court order restraining William
J. Killfer catcher for the Philadel-
phia Nationals. from breaking his
contract with the Chicago club of the
Federal League. The suit must be
prosecuted in Michigan because KILL

general counsel for the Federal
League, fled the petition on behalf of
Charles Weeghman, president of the
Chicago Federal League club. A copy
of the contract signed by Killifer,
Il agreeing to play for three years with
the Chicago club for a salary OF
s., 1888 a year for three years was
| offered as exhibit "A"
The petition charges that killifer
was paid $500 when he signed the
Federal League contract, and that he
agreed to report to the team to go
on its spring training trip to Shreve-
port. La Killifer, according TO the
complaint. still retains the $500 and
has not reported for spring practice.
The complaint states that Killifer
is "a catcher of unique and eXtraor-
binary skill and experiences, and of
such personal and intellectual char
acter" that no other catcher can fill
his place.

The second game between the

for, Friday afternoon, was called off
after a consultation between Billy

Joe Birmingham, boss of the Maps.

DEGINNING last Monday the
* track men were excused from
shop work at p. m. to start
in regular track work. The squad
numbers about 40 men at present,
and is in charge of Coach Alexander
and Captain Logan. Among them are
to be found a number of cookbook
ing sprinters and hurdlers. Smith in
the pole vault, Robinson at the high
jump and Street in the broad jump
are also out again. Mauck and
Churchill will look after the weights
in capable fashion, though it is ex-
pected that one or two Of the big
football men will get into shape for
these events. 1t is probable that
Jean Patton will come out for the
broad jump While in prep school
he negotiated close to 20 feet in this
event without training of any kind.
SO far the outlook for long distance
men is rather haZy. Jordan, who
halls from Allen Academy at Bryan
won the mile at the Texas State prep
meet last year. and is out for the
event; but there are few others. Joe
Hayes has also come out to learn
what he can do along this line.
The track is getting in good shape,
and the nice weather of the past few
days has enabled the bunch to get
off TO a good start.

twelve will be retained awhile longer,
while half that many catchers will
continue in harness to help handle
the twirlers.
Jordan is showing up in fair form
and is liable to be called upon for
some varsity flinging this spring. He
has been working out with the scrub
for the past three years and is a
senior now. In this length of time
he has absorbed lot of knowledge
about the game.
A sliding pit has been constructed,
and each afternoon, after running
around the track to timber up, all
the candidates are taken to the pit
and put through a dozen hook slides.
Some of them are already finished in
this department, while all the rest
are showing marked improvement.

The Exhibits
The name agricultural show to
many people conjures up the old ia
miliar scenes of more or less interest
to the ordinary visitor, but if anyone
entered that department of the state
fair yesterday looking for the ordinary
sort of show, he must have met sur
prises on every hand, for all over was
evidence of the effort on the part of
the promoters to make a display dis
tinctly out of the ordinary. How far
they succeeded was evident from the
large share of attention the show was
able to divert from the round of real
thrills going on outside.
On entering the great hall the eye
is at once arrested by the great dis
play of woman's handicraft from elab-
crate needleWork to bottled fruit and
cakes. Passing on through the adj
joining hall compartments lined with
clever work, technical and manual, of
the various schools have each their
appeal. But more strikingly beautiful

roses. piled in tiers in the middle of
the floor, is admired by all. No more
forcible backing to the claims of the
Salt River Valley could have been de-
vised than this big bouquet of roses.
| A glance down the boards laden
with colossal specimens of every va
riety of fruit and vegetable, from dates
clustered on the palm to giant pump
kins, bespeaks of prosperity. Here are
wonderful collections of products
grown on the dry, wind-swept mesas
of the northeastern counties, rich red
apples from the mountain valleys OF
Yavapai and Coconino and Santa Cruz
and great variety of tropical fruits
