 But He'll Stick.

Baltimore, April 28.-sfNo chance. absolutely no chance This was the comment Of Jack Dunn, president, owner and manager of the Baltimore Interna tional league club, when told Of the report ernanating from New York that he was being driven to the rocks by the F'ederals and that he had applied to the national comms- sion for. aid
 from conflicts with the local Feds, but are still undismayed and intend to stick it out. All my money is in vested here and here intend to stay. My club is as good as any in the minor leagues, and since Wnal the fans crave for is good baseball l when they see the article of ball we put out.
 esrhere ts no doubt in my mind that the Federa1s started the report that the local International league fran cf1ise would be transferred.
 So far as the battle at the turn stiles between organized baseball and the Federals in this city, the Gilmore organization has scored a sweeping victory.
 The sentiment here is entirely with the independents, and when the two local teams have confficted there have been very. few persons at the Inter- Federals out of town. the Orioles att tracted a good crowd for the first time of the season yesterday, 3.36d fans paying to see the double header with Rochester. The loss of both games by Baltimore will not help the situation any
 Whenever a good play was recorded the fans would yell at the player making 1t, we need you across the way.l meaning at the Federal park. To this Catcher Bob williams of Ro- chester replied, Unless somebody comes across very shortly you'll see me there.

 Jack. Dempsey, the great middle weight champion died broke. Jack McAuliffe parted with most of his ring earnings by playing the ponies. Bob Fitzsfmmons has a little farm, but he recently confessed that he was near the end of his rope financially, and wanted to return to the ring to earn a living. John L.
