Big Money Induced
Otto Knabe to Jump

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 1o.-"The
Baltimore stockholders treated me
very literally and / can't lose out"
said F. Otto Knabe on hiss return
from Baltimore, where he signed a
contract to manage the Federal
League baseball team there. Il have
half my money now" he added.
Signing with the Federals was
simply a matter of business. Any
other man in organized baseball, /
think, if placed in similar situation,
would do exactly as ! have done
better my financial condition.
THE Federals offered me far more
than organized baseball ever had
done and more than / expected it ever
would do, so l took what / consid-
cred the best opportunity to make
terms with Baltimore"

And the Federal League had
better think over the above adage
and weigh it thoroughly,
Connected very prominently with
the American League is a pompous
gentleman possessed with a think
tank that is crowded with good COM
mon sense, a man who has yet to bow
before anyone in baseball, a man
who has never run second to any
body since he was crowned presi-
dent.
Yes the Federal League had better
figure that their good ship has not yet
struck a Johnson squall.
But they're going to. And when
they do-well, yours truly will send
in his entire stack on b. Byron.
lave you noticed that so far the
L Federal League has kept hands
off the American League talent pref
ty much?
They have and are still humping
National League rosters with threat
ening slashes.
And why?

y AN FRANCISCO, Jan. 10.-The
- long rest at the Lake County
ranch did me a lot of good and
returned to San Francisco feeling
like my old self once more. My hand
was entirely healed and the doctor al
lowed me to take the bandage off IT.,
telling me that it was just as strong
as ever, and that / would not have TO
worry about it il l took proper pre-
cautions.
But | was still in wrong with the
fans. They refused to believe that |
did not deliberately run out on Ho-
gan. The more l tried to explain the
worse matters were, till | began to
feel desperate. wanted to fight some
body, but public sentiment seemed -
be working against me.
Billy Nolan came to the front with
challenge to Wolgast in my behalf,
and lie also offered to fight any of the
other lightweights, including Hogan.
But, somehow or other, things did not
break right for u.s. The fans evident
ly refused to believe that I was in line
for Wolgast go. although I still COZ
tinued to think that l had his num-
Der.
To add to my troubles, soon De-
came aware of the fact that Jim Coff-
roth, the only man in the field to han
die a match between Wolgast and
myself; was at outs with my man
ager. 1t seems that they never set-
tied that old feud which existed be-
tween them since the Britt-Nels1n
battle seven years before: so it was
up to me to do some tall thinking.

CAST for the following Thanksgiving
Day. But I decided to stand pat. I
agreed to allow Nolan to manage my
affairs, and ] made up my mind 10
go the route and stick with my man
ager, no matter what any of them said
to me.
I was advised on all sides to get
rid of Nolan. My most intimat e
friends told me that he would get me
in bad, and that I would not land any
good matches because of Nolans an
popularity. 1 listened to everything
they said, and then was all the more
determined to allow Nolan to looil
after my affairs. because / had great
faith in his ability.
In the meantime, Nolan and Coff-
roth had a miX-up over the match
which they were discussing. ] was
not witness to the affair. but l took
Nolans side He was my represer-
tative, and l did not believe that he
had been treated right by the pro-
moter. The mix-up caused quite a
sensation, and it was the talk Of the
whole town for several days.
The match with Wolgast looked
further away than ever after this
trouble. Still | felt more determined
than ever to get the champion into

Cubs Head Glasses
Federals as Takers

CHICAGO, Jan. 10-Charles w.
Murphy, OF the Cubs, to-day classed
the Federal League promoters with
men in the fake patent medicine
business and sellers OF worthless
mining stocks.
IF raising money under false pre-
lenses is still an offense, 1t seems to
me that people going around endeav-
oring TO sell stock in Federal clubs
should either change their methods
or else the law might be invoked by
some of the deluded persons who are
said TO be buying small blocks Of
stock in those clubs" said Murphy.

" HE next item of interest in con-

~ the meeting of the Rules Com
mittee We have already heard sug-
gestions from one source or another
of what ought to be done to improve
the game. Most of these suggestions
have to do with the forward pass,
and they range all the way from
those that would eliminate the for
ward pass entirely to those that
would make it the whole thing.
Those that oppose the forward pass
state, and bring forward statistics to
show, that the play is not successful
ten per cent of the time, and that it
helps opponents more often than it
does the team using it. All Of which
may be true and probably is, but the

RAILROADS WILL
OFFER TESTIMONY
Appear Before Freight Rate
Commission Tomorrow In
Senate Chamber Appealing
From Justice Law.

All railroads doing business in North
Carolina Will be here tomorrow to Of
fer objection TO the Justice rate bill
which reduces the rates materially in
North Carolina.
The taking Of testimony will be be
fore a special commission appointed
Dy Governor Craig following the spe-
clal session OF the General Assembly.
ON that commission are Judge NJ. II.
Justice, of Rutherfordton: DR.. w. L.
Poteat. of Wake Forest College: and
Col All a. Thompson. of Raleigh.
The hearings Will take place in the
Senate Chamber.
The Justice rate bill was introduced
in the special session hich accepted
the settlement offered by the carriers
in reduction Of the Interstate rates.
This reduction was won by the Cor
poration Commission in various con-
f~erences, Governor Craig recommend
ing it as such a settlement as the
State could afford to make.
The Justice bill was soon afterward
and the fight won in the
General Assembly. The railroads took
their time for appeal and it ap-
peared once that there would be no
fight. The Virginia cities Joined in,
demanding reductions into North Car
DINA territory by the Interstate Com
merce Commission. They declared
that these reductions could be made
equal to tire North Carolina local.
The special commission isn't par
ticularly interested in that phase. It
is hearing the railroads and what OBJ
%Jections they have to putting into eff
feet the rates which the Justice law
makes obligatory. Owing to the fail
ure to meet in December, the COM
mission recommended posrponement
of the date when the roads will put
the rates into effect and the expira-
ton Of time is yet more than a month
off.
The hearing tomorrow will be the
beginning of perhaps the most import
ant Of all conferences held by repre-
sentatives Of the State and spokesmen
for the roads. The hour for TIT open
ing is IL o'clock, noon. Judge Justice
will preside.
