I ? EW YORK, April S.-CIutching
~ it from the remarks by organ
! 4 y lied baseball, the Federal league
is a minor league proposition. But
| organized basebalpS own little rules
= give the Federal league major
league status.
These rules show the difference be-
/ tween a minor and major league. A
) league that has to conform to a salary
limit and whose players are subject to
! draft by teams in another league is
minor league. A league that has no
salary limit and whose players are not
1 subject to draft is a major league
Therefore, the Fees stack up as
major league. They pay unlimited sal
aries and their players are not sub
ject to draft.
Organized baseball, in rebuttaI, de-
clares that despite these facts the Fed
eral is not a major league because its
players are not of major league cali
Der. Very well. But before they made
such q statement it might have been
well for them to look back thrOURh
the newspaper files of the pastffeyv
months and read some of tbs "TeT7a rlIs

VI At!s S4agnateg of the organized
MAJORS thought that a way to combat
the Feds would be to abolish the draft
rule, as applied to the class "A teams,
let these leagues pay unlimited sal
aries and thus lift them to the major
league classification.
For a time it looked as though the
plan would go through, but some of
the magnates of the majors We're so
sure that the Feds would blow up be-
fore the 1914 season opened that they
thought the move n foolish one. Yet,
at the time, the majority of the mag
mates declared that the players of the
class "A minors were of such caliber
that they almost ranked as majors and
that some of the best clubs in the
class IA minors were far better than
some Of the clubs in either the ,Ameri-
can or National leagues.
Therefore, it seems as though the
organized persons who areI calling the
Feds minor league outfit seem TO be
foozHng bit. The Fed% for the most
part are made up OF 6lavers grabbed

Jay Davidson, one of the well known

sporting writers of the coast city his
idea is to form a national body to eX-

sports, especially in boxing, wrestling
and racing. He would have national
board similar to the national commits
sion which controls baseball and have
branch organizations throughout the
country which would be subordinate to

Of course, it is not the easiest mat

KNOCKS OUT

New York, April 8.-AI Mccoy. Of

Newcastle. Pa, a leading claimant for
the middleweight title, in the first
round of their 10-rOund match Tues
day night
Chip recently scored two knockout
victories over Frank Klaus, of Pitts
burg, who defeated Georges Carpenter
in Paris.
The knockout came after one minute
and 40 seconds Of fighting The result
was a surprise, as Mccoy had been
considered only a fairly good middle
weight
In the first round Chip assumed the
offensive and was forcing Mccoy
around the ring, when the latter landed
his first bIow-the knockout This was
a left uppercUt, which landed on the
end of Chips chin Chip fell on his
back, his head striking the floor and
he was unable to rise at the referees
count of 10.
Chip weighed 1921 pounds. six and

it is: McQuilIen, OToOle, Adams, Har-

Kantlener. The last four seem quite

very closely last year. McQuilken was

well cluttered up with unknOwns. It's
quite likely that some of these young

~ H ILN AthEE, Wis, April D.
NE There are few fighters who re-
4 ally know when to retire from
the ring. As rule most Of them wait
uuul they have been beaten to pieces
several tunes and even then they insist
upon going ahead and claiming they
are as good as ever.
Not so with Ray Bronson, the Indian
apohs lightweight, who developed into
a WclterW eight the past year and was
given credit by many writer's around
me country as having good claim to
the Eeltergyeight championship.
Bronson LETT for Australia last fall
with the intention of fighting Johnny
Summers, the British weIterweight
champion for the worlds title. He did
not realize that he had gone back On
the contrary, he felt that he was
stronger than ever and able TO defend
the title which he claimed against all
corners. His work in the ring the past
few months in Australia has been any
thing but satisfactory to himself and
the climax came when he was defeated
only recently by Mat Wells the former
British lightweight champion, who also
has developed into a welterweight.
Writing from Sydney, Bronson sends
me the following letter:
My Dear Andrews:
We'll, I am not the Raymond Of old
as a fighter, although it is hard to ad-
NIT the truth so rather than disap-
point my friends again, have decided
TO. quit the ring for all time The
Stadium people here were willing to
cancel my contract, so there is nothing
lost on their part and I trust that Say
Tor win more than make up for what
failed to do.
Il hope you will not think that I am
a gutter because 1 am quitting the
ring, but you are aware that the av-
erage boxer doesn't know when to quit,
and don't intend to put myself in that
class. This idea Of punching a man
about the head will not brighten him
any and I do not intend to go in and be
made a punching bag Of by men whom
I could have beaten in a round or two
e few years ago.
4 was not hurt in any Of my con-
tests in any way and in my fight with
Mat Wells, it was simply a case of be-
ing OutClassed at every turn, so why

a thing as boxers coming back, but I
think that in my case it is next to i'm
possible, so I have made up my mind
TO quit for good.
