JEW YORK, Feb. 19.-The Fed
IN eral League circuit IN 1915 will
be stronger and more compact
than the rather unwieldy one with
which the Federals will open the 1919
season.
President James A. Gilmore, of the
Federals, refuses to state definitely
just what cities will be dropped IN
1915 and which new ones will be
taken in, but from one of the men
close to Gilmore and the Federal af-
fairs comes the tip that Kansas City,
Indianapolis and Buffalo viii be sup
planted by Cleveland, Cincinnati, and
either New York City or Washington.
The Federais just now are at work
building stands that will seat from
$4,000. to $4,000. With the exception
of Chicago, ST. Louis, Brooklyn and
Baltimore, the stands being erected
are regarded as temporary structures.
AS little money as possible is being
put into the erection of these stands,
no doubt because II is planned to
abandon them next year
uTHE 1914 season will be something
i of an experiment all the year for
rs" said Gilmore. For many of us
it will be the first year in baseball.
But we are learning fast; we are
learning new things each day, and al
ready we have learned through the
horrible mistakes made by the organ
lied baseball people.

COMMENT
By Ed w. Smith.
Feb. 1s.-only

HHlcAGo, Feb. 1s.-onIy a
matter of 500 miles apart
is a vast difference in fistic
tastes of San Francisco and Los
Angeles. the homes of the TWEEN
ty-rounI battle and the only
places of prominence outside of
Nevada where the boxers are per-
mitted the luxury of the Mara
thon route. The case of Jimmy
Clabby, Hammond star, is a
strong one in point. San Fran
cisco liked him immensely, and
the critics there said he was the
real wonder OF the world when
he trimmed Sailor Petroskey. jim
my then took the sailor down to
Los Angeles, and While he
trimmed him in twent rounds.
the critics there Immediately said
that Jimmy was the real punch
less wonder" and that he would
fail because of the absence of the
big wallop.
1T was never figured around
here that Clabby was much of
a knocker-ou at ary stage of
his carer, and his friends did
not figure that with lis extreme
cleverness he needed better than
the ordinary punch to win his
battles The fact that he didn't
drop them for the count in four
out of Ave of his contests didn't
initiate against his popularity
around here, for he seems to
have just as many friends as
ever among the fans.
IT'S a bio puzzle to Eddie Nc
Goorty's friends how 1t ever
came about tina Jimmy was able
to take him twice, once in Den
yer, which was something of a
doubtful verdict, and again in
Rutte, which also was open to
some question. But Clabby took
him" that's sure, and got away
with 1t fine. especially in the
Butte battle, in which ClabbY
was fioored twice in the opening
round.
THEY are toasting Joe Rivers
on the Coast for calling off
his ma h here with Leach Cross
because of a sore hand. Some
OF the critics are even outspoken
in sayinS that Rivers is fearful
of the result, and deliberately
took tn, course to Dodge danger
Gus game. Tom Jones, Ad VOL
CASTS manager, doesn't think
th,-t's the right Of Il. He saws
II was the beating that the
Cadillac man gave Rivers in Mil
waukee that lused the whole
trouble.
TONES pradietad that when
j Rivers left Chicago for Los
Angeles to battle Cross the con-
test wouldn't go through when
Wolgast gets through with them,
they don't amount to much
Jones remarked. None of the
men he has beaten is there at the
uroaent day"

we have made mighty hard fight
against tremendous odds against
odds so big that few persons ever
thought we would last right up TO
now But we're here to stay-and
we'll stay a good bit longer than any
other parties who have been here be-
fore US.
I'VE mean to give the fans major
league baseball, and when they come
to our parks and see the games 7
guess they Will admit they are getting
it, Some of our enemies have de-
clared that our lineups Will be com
posed of hasbeens' and 'neyer-wus-
sers That's a bit laughahle.
GIT is true that we have some vet
Grams on our rosters, but they
still have two or three good years of
baseball in their systems. Long be-
fore they are forced to go into the
discard many of the youngsters We
have will be ranking among the
brightest stars that ever shone on
the diamond. We have under con-
tract now some young PLAYERS, here
tofore unheari of, who will prove to
be sensations in their first year out.
Had we cared to sign up players
already under contract to organized
baseball we could have secured the
signatures of at least 150, and among
that number are the greatest players
in both of the big leagues But when
we started out we announced that we
would not sign up a player who was
under contract and we have adhered
TO that rule"

Jimmy GRANT, the sturdy little
Chicago bantam, stopped "Spi-
der" Britt in the seventh round
of a scheduled round go at the
columbia Theater last night. Britt
hit the canvas six times, and at no
time did he have a chance against
the Chicagoan.
Had not Jimmy broken his right
hand in the second round, it is doubt
ful if Britt would have lasted four
rounds. Jimmy fioored Britt once IN
III, second and fifth rounds, three
times in the sixth session, and the
Knockout blow came in the seventh.
After the second round Grant relied
entirely on his left hand. He worked
this member like a piston rod, and
Britt was a badly beaten fighter at
the finish.
Grants victory over Britt entities
him 10 matches with the best boys IN
the country. Jimmy has done sii
that has been asked of him, and is
to-day by far the best boy pf his
weight around here.
Two other corking bouts were on
the card. Meyer Prizes refused to
quit and for once put up a great
scrap. winning the decision over Ed
die Walsh in six rounds. Meyer made
good use of his left hand and piled up
barrel of points.
In the opening bout of the even
ing Kid Williams and Battling
Shepherd put up great four-round
draw. The two youngsters fought
every minute of the time, and a
draw verdict was fair to both boys.
