that no good player in his zenith las
been induced to jump.
There is something deeply significant
in this fact IL shows that the players
with a future or players in their prime
have too much foresight 10 jeopardize
their careers by being moved b. the Wis
ionary schemes OF the outlaw promoters
The mainstay of the Federals is
Weeghman, of Chicago. lie is immensely
popular. they tell me. and isn't in base
ball for the money. He is simply real
fan. and when he couldn't get major
league franchise he allied himself with
the outlaws Weeghman is the live wire
of the league, but he can't assume all
the burdens of the enterprise himself.
Il wasn't AT all surprised when | read
that John Barbour was going to retire
as president OF the Pittsburgh Federal
League club | never thought he could
devote his time TO putting an outlaw
league on its feet. He has too many
other interests for that Barbour and
went TO school together in Pittsburgh,
and he is the first boy / can recall who
ever caught my curves. His resignation
will hurt the Pittsburgh Federals in many

OARSMEN TALK AND TALK
Little Done Toward Forming a
New Associatio.

Little was accomplished toward forming
a new rowing association at the meeting
held al the New York Athletic Club last
night. The delegates OF the various clubs
did not seem 10 understand the reason of
forming the new organization. Some were
OF the opinion that It would wipe out the
three local associations. and others
thought that IL was merely the launching
Of new one.
or the thirty-three clubs that were
asked to send delegates. twenty were rep
resented but only twelve were prepared
TO do business. After much discussion,
James Pikington. president of the Ma
tional Association Of Amateur Oarsmen,
asked permission to speak, not as a dele
gate. but as one who would like 10 see
the sport improve.
He suggested that a representative COM
mittee be appointed, consisting of twelve
delegates. and be instructed to draw up
preamble telling the reasons for the or
ganization OF the new association. and
that this committee visit the clubs and
associations and sound them for their
opinion 70 launch another association.
This was put IN the form Of motion
later by Mr.. Bergen. Of the Friendship
club. and seconded.
President Pilkington also stated that
inter-city regattas should be agitated as
IT would increase the interest in rowing

HARVARD SWIMMING TEAM
Hitchcock, of Football Fame,
Fastest Man on Squad.

Captain John Wentworth, of the Har-
ward swimming team has picked the men
who will compete for the Crimson in the
varsity meets this season, and they are
an unusually good lot
Rex Hitchcock, the football player, Is
the brilliant star. In recent time trials
he has shown ability 20 travel fifty yards
under 26 seconds, 100 yards around l min
ute and 90 yards in about minutes 40
seconds. Judging from performances so
far witnessed, he has few equals in the
college ranks
Fullerton Is Hitchcock's nearest rival
at Cambridge. He is not quite as fast as
the latter in the sprints, So seconds being
his best century mark, but at the furlong
the two are matched TO dot. Putnam
comes next and then follow Wentworth
Cowen. Seymour and Starbuck. good for
about q seconds at 80 yards and 81 sec
onds at 100 yards.
These figures indicate that in six
man relay team at 100 yards Harvard
could probably defeat any college in the
country.

The story was circulated after the race
that Kivat was really in great distress.
and it was stated that he was not in con-
dition TO do himself justice. This was
borne out yesterday by Kiviat's physician,
who declared that the runner should have
been any place but on the track, and had
undergone a SERIOUS operation for an alb
scess in his nose on Friday and that he
ran against positive orders. He further
stated that Kiviat had shown symptoms
Of bronchitis, and that his stomach also
had given him no end of trouble
Friends Of kiviat tried to dissuade him
fom entering the race telling him that
the great exertion might bring about COM

the crowd and later paid the penalty ac-

PARTING
SHOTS /:

The Federal League has blasted many OF
basebals fondest traditions IN the last
few weeks. and now the changes are
being rung on sentiment. Long ago this
ceased to be a factor in the game. but II
is being resurrected TO suit the present
needs The inddelity of Rollie Zeider is
the case in point Il seems Frank Far
rell paid the inheders salary while he
was laid up with an injury most of last
season. For this reason some are saying
he should stick TO the Yankees Others
cite the close relationship between Chance
and Tinker and stand ashast to see Joe
wreck the New York team But business
seems to he business under the new
regime Just rs much as it was under the
old. when stars like Mordecai Brown were
cut loose with little consideration.
koIehmainen and kivlat have drawn
down an investigation on their shoulders be-
cause of certain little pcculiarities in their
race the other night. Even the amateurs
seem to he equal 10 hppodroming now and
then.
Joe Jackson having signed a contract
with Cleveland. announces that he has
just turned down an offer TO play with the
Federals at a modest $4,000 for three
years Connie Mack once released Joe be-
cause he didn't have any brains.
While the big league owners have come
through handsomely on the proposals OF
the Players Fraternity. the minor
leaguers seem TO be a little COY. Dave
Fultz has been compelled TO jog their
memories. Surprising as it may seem, he
is anxious to see fulfilled some of the fine
promises made at tine conference in Gin
cnnati II is an odd position to take, but
there are certain reasons why greater
aiacrity in making concessions should he
shown.
Francis Ouimet and his partner were
easily defeated In a four-haIl match at Pine
hurst the other day. But a championship
battle is something else. Frank Baker
struck out i'm a pinch several times last
while Dlaying against the Yanks Mt the
Polo Grounds, hut this weakness was not
manifest along in October.
Just where in the hstic sphere does
Pigot the French boxer, fit? He is the
man who was knocked out in the first
round by "Bombardier' Wells the other
night. and "Bombardier" has been
knocked out by nearly everybody else.
