Federals File Suit
Restraining Killifer
From Joining Phils

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH, March 20.
The reserve clause" in baseball play
ers' contracts, the instrument by
which organized baseball has retained
it's strange hold on its athletes, was
brought into the Federal Courts here
to-day with the filing OF petition
for a court order restraining William
]. Killifer, catcher for the Philadel
phia Nationals, from breaking his
contract with the Chicago club of the
Federal League. The suit must be
prosecuted in Michigan because Kill
fer's home is at Paw Paw, in that
State. 1t will be heard April g.
Edward f. Gates, of Indianapolis,
general counsel for the Federal
League, filed the petition on behalf of
Charles Weeghman, president of the
Chicago Federal League club. A copy
of the contract signed by Killifer,
agreeing to play for three years with
the Chicago club for a salary of
$5,83333 a year for three years was
offered as exhibit "A
The petition charges that Killifer
was paid $500 when he signed the
Federal League contract, and that he
agreed to report to the team to go
on it's spring training trip to Shreve-
port, La Killifer, according to the
complaint, still retains the $500 and
has not reported for spring practice.
The complaint states that Killifer
is "a catcher of unique and eXtraor-
binary skill and experiences, and of
such personal and intellectual char
acter" that no other catcher can fill
his place.

Second Game Called
Off by Crackers and
Maps; Too Chilly

The second game between the
Cleveland Maps and the Crackers, set
for Friday afternoon, was called off
after a consultation between Billy
Smith, manager of the Crackers, and
Joe'Birmingham, boss of the Maps.
Practice in cold air, on a wet and
slippery field is worse than no prac-
tee" said Bill, and Joe agreed with
him thoroughly
Il don't want a crop of sore arms
to add to the other troubles of a
training season." said Joseph
1t was the hope of both managers
that the weather would warm by
time for the Saturday matinee, by
which time it also was certain that
the field would be good and dry. pro-
vided ]. Pluvius held off, which the
weather man expected him to do.

exception of the pitchers and catch
ers, OF the former some ten or
twelve will be retained awhile longer,
while half that many catchers will
continue in harness to help handle
the twirlers.
Jordan is showing up in fair form
and is liable to be called upon for
some varsity finging this spring. He
has been working out with the scrub
for the past three years and is a
senior now. In this length of time
he has absorbed a lot of knowledge
about the game.
A sliding pit has been constructed,
and each afternoon, after running
around the track to timber up, all
the candidates are taken to the pit
and put through a dozen hook slides.
Some of them are already finished in
this department, while all the rest
are showing marked improvement.

More Tech
Players to
the Pros.

The list includes Amason, who is
working out with Atlanta: Bur-
roughs, who will play with the Cor
dele club. and Henry Collier, who
has joined the Washington club. In
addition to these there are two
other players, if not three, who will
likely be found in professional ball
before the summer is over. inasmuCh
as they have already been approached
on the subject.
Burroughs played short in a num-
Der of games during the spring of
1911 and performed quite creditably
He is a much better player now than
he was then, as he showed in his
game with the alumni team against
Tech last Saturday. He is very fast,
has a good arm and is a very flashy
fielder.
Henry Collier hardly needs an In
PRODUCTION. for II can not be that he
has already been forgotten. He
pitched in the spring of 1909 and Of
1910 for Tech. sharing the work his
first year with Mayer, now with the
Philadelphia Nationals. and the sec
ond year with Doc" Wilson. In his
first season as a Yellow Jacket Col
lier was but IS years Of age. At
Tech his principal achievements
were shutting Sewanee out in both
games of a double-header, which he
pitched one Saturday afternoon, and
his feat of shutting out Georgia for
a total of 80 innings in three games
that he pitched against the Red and
Black during his college career.
Since that time he has been prac-
tically out Of baseball, and it remains
to be seen whether he can come
back" 1t is true he is plenty young
enough yet in years to allow of every
hope and prospect that he can whip
back into shape. Still, when a man
gives up athletics Of any kind for
three or four years on a stretch, no
matter how young he was at the
time he finds it mighty hard to
round to in old-time form. and the
chances are distinctly against his
doing so.
But if Harry has not been out of
the game too long he will make one
of the best pitchers the game ever
saw. | never knew a youngster that
had so much at SO tender an age as
had Collier: and if he has not lost
il by reason of becoming muscle
bound or something Of that sort, he
will make Washington, in the course

BY j. w. Heisnan.

DEGINNING last Monday the
X track men were excused from
shop work at 4 p. m. to start
in regular track work. The squad
numbers about 45 men at present,
and is in charge of Coach Alexander
and Captain Logan. Among them are
to be found a number of cookbook
ing sprinters and hurdlers. Smith in
the pole vault, Robinson at the high
jump and Street in the broad jump
are also out again. Mauck and
Churchill will look after the weights
in capable fashion, though it is eX-
pected that one or two of the big
football men will get into shape for
these events. 1t is probable that
Jean Patton will come out for the
broad jump. While in prep school
he negotiated close to 20 feet in this
event without training of any kind.
So far the outlook for long distance
men is rather hazy. Jordan, who
halls from Allen Academy at Bryan,
won the mile at the Texas State prep
meet last year, and is out for the
event; but there are few others. Joe
Hayes has also come out to learn
what he can do along this line.
The track is getting in good shape,
and the nice weather of the past few
days has enabled the bunch to get
off to a good start.
