Refuse to Lift Ban on
Kiviat Before Investigation

NEW YORK, Jan. 2s.-Efforts to
have the registration committee Of the
Metropolitan Association of the A. A.
u, the members of which suspended
Hannes Kolehmainen and Abel Kiviat
pending an investigation of what the
committee termed a suspicious race
last Saturday night, to rescind their
action, If only temporarily in order
that the men might compete tonight
in the games of the Millrose A c. in
Madison Square Garden have failed.
Kiviat put in a personal application
and coupled his statement with a
certificate from his physician, the
gist Of which was that he had not
been physically qualified to do any
thing like his best at the time of the
race, and that necessarily warranted
his miserable showing. Kiviat stated
that he had been badly treated by the
committee because he had not been
given an opportunity to clear him
self from any charges which might
have been brought against him.
John MCGOWAN. the manager of
the games, last night was informed
that no further action would be taken
by the registration committee until
their announced session, which would
take on the nature of trial, Feoru-

FINNERAN SIGNED I
BY OUTLAW CLUB
Gets TwO-Year Contract With
Baltimore Federal League
Manager.
OWNED BY BIRMINGHAM

Joe Finneran. former pitcher for the
Philadelphia National League club.
whose home Is in East Orange, has
| signed two-year contract to play
with the Baltimore Federal League
club. Finneran had a Conferences
with Otto Knabe. manager of the BAT
| timore Federals. in New York yester-
day, following which he attached his
signature to the contract which sewers
his connection with organized base
/ ball.
Finneran was sold TO the Birming-
ham club Of the Southern Association
| last fall by Manager Charles Doom, Of
the Quakers.
he objected TO reporting or playing
with club in Dixie, however, be-
cause he has had previous experiences
in the South. and has been unable to
stand the hot weather below the Ma
son and Dixon line. He asked Man
ager Doom to call of the deal but
Doom refused to do anything for him
Finneran was anxious to play In. the
International League and Il was
thought at one time that the Jersey
City club might get him.
The local boy when asked to confirm
the report finally admitted that he
had taken the action, but asserted
that he has an iron-bound contract.
as the clause giving the Ba1tinaore
management the right to release him
was scratched out.
Finneran is loud in his praises Of
Manager Knabe. He declares that ths
former Quaker seeond-sacker should
make an ideal manager. Finneran
and Knabe were teammates two or
three times on the Philadelphia club.
and Knabe was pleased in landing tha
local boy.
In speaking of Knabe, Finnezan
said today: He was always noted
for being a peppery ball player, al !
ways on his tip toes and a first
class coach. l think ne is a born
leader and will prove adept in
handling men. Otto told me that
he had signed Benny Meyer. as was
reported, also that he had two other
pitchers besides myself and q big
league catcher under his wing J am
getting more money with the new
league than I was ever offered By
any baseball club and in addition ]
will play in a city which l like,
which, you must admit, is a whole
lot to any ball player"
Finneran got his start cn the local
lots. He is a right-handsr. having
excellent control and a curve bah
that is wonder. He was first
brought into the limelight when the
'Phillies" bought him two years ago
from the Norfolk Club. of the VIZ
ginia League. along with Johnny
Dodge, third sacker. who has since
played with the "Phillies" and the
Cincinnati Reds. Dodge was recently
turned over to Louisville and Fin
I N axnVpcCad a N mi
clever third sacker would probably
| sign with Joe Tinker. Finneran de-
clares that Tinker valued Dodge
| highly last year. when the pair
played with the Reds. and he also
asserted that they are close friends.

OLD RIVALS WILL
MEET IN MILE RUN
Garlock, of Bloomfield, and
BOughtOn, of Central, Will
Clash at Meet.

A scholastic event that is attract
ing unusual interest on the program
Of the Central High School games,
which are to be held Saturday night
at the First Regiment armory is the
one-mile run. The race will afford
the schoolboys an opportunity to wit
ness another duel between Eddie
Garlock, the Bloomfield High School
distancer, and Charles Boughton, the
Central High School miller.
The rivalry between Garlock and
Boughton has succeeded that between
Joe Myers and Ezra Wanz, both OF
whom are now attending New Eng
land colleges. The pair met fort
night ago at the Poly Prep games in
Brooklyn and the Bloomfield lad
quashed Central High Schools hopes
of winning the point trophy by I'M
corl<ing a sprint on the home stretch
of the. mile race and leading Bough-
ton home in the fast time of 4:43.
Mike Devaney has had Garlock I'M
der his wing since his advent into the
running game last year at the Tabs
games, where he captured the one
mile novice. The former ten-mile
champion thinks that his charge will
capture the schoolboy mile honors
for the year. Devaney states that the
record of 4:36 established by Joe
Myers last year at the Dickinson
High School games must go by the
board in order to keep Garlock in
second place on Saturday night.

May Call Special Meeting.

Although the annual schedule meet
ing of the National League has been
called for February 10 in New York,
it was learned today that several club
owners in President Tener's circuit
are eager to hold a special conference
at once. Charles w. Murphy, of the
Cubs, is the leader in this respect.
Murphy thinks that the club owners
should get together at once for the
purpose of talking over the situation
and to make plans for the immediate
future. other magnates who are
supporting Murphy in his contention
say that the league as a body should
consult with counsel as to the advisa-
bility of instituting legal proceedings.
The magnates seem to think that
damage suits can be brought against
such men as Tinker, Knabe, Brown
and several Federal League pro-
moters, or that the time is ripe for
asking the courts to restrain the
Federal managers from tampering
with players under contract or held
by the option clauses. 1t was said
today that the advisability OF calling
a special meeting of the league had
been left to the discretion of Presi-
dent Tener, and that he would make
a decision within the next twenty
four hours.

WAR IS COSTLY TO
MAJOR LEAGUERS
Estimate That 100000 Has
: Already Been Spent to
Fight Feds.
OUTLAWS ATTACK DOOM

Representatives of organized base
ball are beginning to figure on the
cost of the Federal League invasion
to the leagues now operating. 1t was
declared today by a major league
club owner that salary increases and
bonuses agreed upon by National and
American League clubs as a result of
Federal League agents dickering with
players involves more than 100000.
In several instances players have been
signed for three years at an annual
salary greatly in excess of the old
rate in vogue before Federal League
agents got busy. Should the Federal
League thrive these players also will.
but in the event of failure by the new
organization, there will be some clever
manipulation of playing talent and
slicing of salaries before another sea-
son. 1t was said today that "Rollie"
Zeider, of the Yankees, was offered
salary for 1914 which was $1,000 more
than he got last year. But the Fed
erals bettered that offer and lured
Zeider away. The Zeider case pro-
vfdes an excellent example of the eff
feet Of the Federals' bid for playing
talent.
