ED SWEENEY AND
 FEEDER TO JUMP
New York Americans Fail to-
 Meet Stars Terms.

Chicago. Ill.,, Jan. 24-Arthur Irwin. scout of the New York American League Club, came here yesterday t5 sign Ed Sweeney, dts star catcher, and RolIde zeider,, ind1eIder, to new con tracts. Sweeney, it became known. successfully eluded the ''eurashOs's man. while zeider, after a conference with Irwin in Ban Johnson's office, was so obstinate about coming to terms that the American League President became vexed and lbluutly told zeider to join the Federal League.
 Zeider had previously visited Fed eral League headquarters, and his terms were accepted. However, he did not sign, but his action in refusiue the Yankees offer is taken to mean that he will be enrolled among the jumpers before long. It is also ruInors ed that both players have joined the outlaws.
 Irwin wouldn't admit he had come to see Sweeney. He said that he was en route to Texas to inspect the train ing camp, but after saving that hs secretly told reporter to ask Sweeney to see him if the "scr9be'' located Sweeney in the Federal League head quarters Before this time Irwin and Ban Johnson's secretary were looking for Sweeney's address in a. telephone directory. Ed was conspicuous by his absence however, and Irwin had net seen him up to a. late hour last night.
 Ban Johnson was angry at Zeider'H Independent attitude. ''1Tr. Farrell of fered him a big increase over his for mer salary" Ban explained. "Zeider, MT. Irwin, and myself conferred this afternoon but Rol1ie persisted in hold ing out for more money. I learned that he had visited the FederaIs, SO when he became obstinate told him to go and play with Tinker if he thought he could better himself.'s

MONTREAL TO GET BACK AT PROVIDENCE

Sam Lichtenhein, owner of the Montreal club has an excellent chance to square accounts with Providence . Some two seasons ago the Chicago club of. the National League drafted Jimmy Lavender, the Providence pitcher, with the. exclusive intention of turning Lavender over. to Montreal as part of a player deal.
 Providence exercised it's right Of re- call and objected so strenuously to the transaction that Lavender was held by the Cubs and eLichtenhein did not get his price. Now the Detroit club has drafted Ray Demmitt from Montreal, and Bill Donovan is casting longing eyes in the direction of Detroit. All Lichtenhein has to do is black the deal by reclafning Demnaitt in. case he is sent back to the minors and accounts will then be squared up.

BURNS THINKS
 HE GAN COME BACK

When old Bob Fitzsimmons talks of coming back to show the white hopes how he did things in his. time none can deny that he would be abe to do it if he were about twenty years younger But when Tommy Burns gets off the same speech he is de. cfdedly out of order.
 It would be interesting to know what Burns finds in his record that en- titles him to scoff at smith Willard. etc. Burns shaded the ancient Jack OBrien and thumped a. few dubs, but he never beat a real fighter at any stage of his career. est=.s..-
 However. Thomas insists upon climb ing into the ring again and as there is no commission .ons the Pacific coast no one can stop him. But in select ing his victim Burns certainly shows good judgment. For the occasion the white hope class will be misrepresent- ed by one Battling Brandt Brandt,s only claim to fame is that he once fell a prey to Freddie Hicks, the hu- man 9chopping block.
