Local Boy With Yankees Declares He Won't Jump To The Federal
 League

had allowed the Red sox but two
 hits both being scattered. There was a great deal of comment in the stands about Keating's performance
 but none of the fans knew the real reason of the youngsters come back.
 After the game I had a little con 7 fab with the husky Bridgeporter and this is what he said: "Grump, old boy,
 all due credit for nay come back be- longs to Ed. Sweeney. Ed and T. room together and he has been at me all the time about my seventh inning jinx- The trouble with me Muzz is
 the fact that I get too anxious. I wouldn't call it nervousness as am, not afraid of the greatest batter that ever lived. You probably have no ticed the pitchers that have oppos- ed I have been up against John,
 son, Hamilton, Foster, Wood, Plank, land Dubue, in my opinion the six
 greatest pitchers in the American League. Chance has not made me l the goat by putting nie up against these men as I have asked him tims and again to let me oppose those fel-. 1 lows. If lose to them I have no credit to lose but if I win from them ! it is a big feather in my cap.'' You probably noticed in the 4th inning to-day when Sweeney came out f to the box and talked to me- He told
 me to groove it and let eIn hit it and after one minute delay T was o. K l Big Ed then held his init so I could
 take a good aim at it and you know 1 the rest .''
 T. don't mean anything against
 Nunamaker as he is a crack-a-jack receiver, but if Big Ed is behind the Iplate I will win every game pitch
 the rest of the season"
 "Of course the Tanks are not as
 fast as the Athletics but I am con- tented with the treatment fhat I am Ireceiving from Frank. I never 1 worked for a better boss and hope Ethat when his contrsct runs out at |the close of next season he will si gn
 up with Farrell for three years
 '.The Feds! What Me sign up with l the Feds2 Nothing doing. They fhave a lot of money ehind them, that I is true, but where will they be when this seasons roll is gone? They 1 will either be taken into the fold or else they will go into oblivion and then where will the contract Jumpers be3
 eff they are taken into Organized baseball the players will be safe but as I said before, where will they be l if the League goes under g.
 I 'sGiye my regards to the boys, es- l peciaIly Wagner Wagner, Donegan, q, Nolan, Hettinger and Sid Challenger I By the way, tell the fans in the Park 1 City to be sure and come own to see | lIAS C1iy S6T1SS EOSIW66h1 lI10 dnkSCS and the Giants. What do mean i I mean that there is nothing to it but l the Braves. Give the Yankees FSu4
 dolph, James and Tyler coupled with I Maranvflles my old New England d
 League playmate, and Evers and we 1 would cop the rag in a walk. Null l lin and Maisel on both, sides or thes,s l men and we would have one of the I best inhelds in the country.i'
 I Heating has won his last three I games and from the showing he made
 on Monday it looks as though he. will I finish strong. He is the only big I league twirler that this city has ever I turned out and the local baseball fans ought to encourage and praise him instead of hurling a harpoon ev- l cry time that his name is mentioned.
