OFFERED WEEGHMAN
FORTUNE To LEAVE
FEDERAL OUTLAWS
CHICAGO MAGNATE SAID To
HAVE TURNED DOWN $780,
900 PROPOSITION.

CHICAGO, March 31.--The frijoles
commercial end of organized baseball
was partly drawn aside when Charles
Weeghman, the man Of the hour" in
Federal league circles. made a positive
statement to the effect that he had
been offered 100000 cash to abandon
the new organization. Furthermore.
Weeghman was not talking for publi-
cation; on the contrary, the statement
was made to Fl. j. Murphy. 1924 Kim
bark avenue. this city, and a close
personal friend of the restaurateur.
It was known for some time that
Weeghman had been approached OUR
ing the first meeting OF the Federal
league magnates held in this city. In
fact 1t was we'll reported that the men
who climbed--.n a night--from coffee
and" to the most talked Of person in
the United States. quit the fold at that
meeting only to be brought 'in again
by Otto Stifel, of St. Louis, who put
up the necessary argument in the form
OF hard cash, and who, 1t is said, saved
the Federal ship. But--and here is
the rub--it was not known that
Weeghman quit at the now-memor-
second time. nor that such tidy sum
had been thrown into the balance. Let
Murphy tell the story:
Charley Weeghman," said Muir
phy. "a close personal friend OF mine,
made the positive statement to me- to-
tiay that he had been offered 100000
for his Federal league holdings. The
outstanding stipulation was that he.
literally speaking. abandon the Feds
LAT the time this offer was made
an option on some property and few
thousand dollars paid out to ball play
ers as advance men constituted the
aforesaid holdings. The story that
Weeghman quit at the new-memor-
able meeting was doubted by all who
know him. I believe him to be one OF
the gamest men that ever entered such
q transaction.
From personal conversation with
him I know that he Is wrapped up
body and soul In the new organiza-
ton, and he has told me repeatedly
that he fully expected the initial sea-
SON to pay 100 cents on every dollars
worth of stock He also assured me
that he positively will resign the oresi-
dency of the local club at the end or
the present year"
Murphy. who is highly regarded in
financial circles hereabout, Is report
ed as having been named to take
charge of the Chicago office. 1t is also
stated that he will In the immediate
future take over a portion of the
Weeghman stock holdings in the local
club.
Weeghman, when asked about the
report. said:
'Im getting tired OF denying fake
stories" he said, 1--WE got fortune
invested in the Chicago Federal league
club. The Federals look good and
I am in the league to stick"

PETERSBURG, VA. March al
About one hundred and fifty loyal fans
went to Mckenzie street park this
afternoon to witness the game between
Hulswitt's Jersy City team and Heine
Buchs recruits. the former winning
with the long end of a Q to ! score.
The day was cold and threatening
rain at every minute, making play very
difficult as well as dangerous to the
participants. For FIVE innings the
game was interesting. both teams
showing up we'll in each position, but
the weather was too cold for baseball
and the boys seemed to be nuElbed
and unable To handle the easiest
chances.
In the first inning. F'rill pitching for
the visitors. hit Keller, the first batter
to face him and Kane was safe at first
on fielder's choice, the pitcher get
ting the ball to second too late to
catch Keller. Craven singled TO right
field. Keller scoring, which ended the
run-getting until the fifth inning, when
the visitors, with combination of
bases on balls, hits and hit batters,
scored two runs and took the lead;
after this they had the game all their
own way.
The features of the game were the
alI-round work orthe Jersey boys, who
appear to be in splendid condition and
three fast double plays by the local
infeld.

The one hundred or more faithful
fans who journeyed out to the ball
park to see Manager Kyan's hopefuls
play the Newark team yesterday was
treated to an old time siug-fast by the
Indians. The weather was just right
for football game, but was too cool
for baseball, after the first two or
three innings the crowd started to
leave and by the time the game was
over there was more players than
spectators, but 10 get back at the

Manager Ryan had fifteen OF his
players in tho game; he even went
SO far as to catch tho last TWO innings
himself.
S nyder. the new outfieider. played
a nice game and also made two clean
singles. Byrd. who pitched the last
two innings, was little nervous, but
pitched in mid season form.

a little off, for seven errors were
chalked Up against them. Callahan

ARMY MAY MEET
NAVY At Ph|[tY

NEW YORK. March 31.-John r.
Foster. secretary of the New York
baseball club, professed to be sur
prised when told that there was
conference in the city on the propo-
sition of playing next years Army and
Navy football game in Philadelphia.
Foster said that up to the present
time the University of Pennsylvania,
which controls Franklin Field. Phil
adelphia. had made no attempt to Sc
cure the game for next year; in fact.
Foster intimated that the college au-
thorities didn't want It. He. there
fore, could not understand the reason
for the presence of Philadelphia
committee here.
The Army is well satisfied with New
York for this years game. according
to Foster. but the Navy appears to
be behind an attempt to transfer the
battle to Philadelphia.

new SCHEDULE To
Be OFFERED LEAGUE
WOULD AVOID NORFOLK-PORTS
MOUTH CONFITCTS-TEAM
GET IL AND 10 SATURDAYS.

NORFOLK, VA, March 31.-When
the virginia league magnates meet
here tomorrow afternoon to consider
changes in the schedule adopted at
the recent meeting In Richmond sew
eral weeks ago they will be asked to
adopt an entirely new set of playing
dates. The old schedule, which was
riddled by the critics and objected to
by several clubs because of the in
equality Of number of games in the
inter-club clashes, will more than
likely be thrown into the discard.
A new schedule will be submitted
for the magnates' consideration by
DR.. J. r. McCrary, president OF the
local club. AS the old one did not
meet the approval Of but one or two
clubs in the circuit. DR. McCrary is
confident the revised one will take it's
place. Four votes will be required
to secure the discarding of the old
and the adoption of the new dates
There will be no trouble in getting the
necessary majority If the directors OF
the league expect the circuit to go
through with the season.
Under the new arrangement Rich
mond Is not given all the weekend
games. Three Of the clubs get twelve
Saturdays at home and the other
three are given ten each. The biggest
Improvement is in the doing away of
conflicts between Norfolk and Ports
mouth. the equalizing of the number
of interclub games and the elimina-
ton OF the three trips to Roanoke
by Portsmouth in the last month OF
the season. Locally the best feature
of the schedule to be submitted is the
fact that when Norfolk Is away Ports
mouth will be at home, and vice versa.

NEW YORK. March 3l.--Big JEFF

pitcher in 1914. JEFF didn't do so we'll
last year as he did in his first year
out, and not half so we'll as many
predicted for his huge bundle of man
kind But there was a reason, as they
say in breakfast food circles.
JEFF was very much In love last
summer with sweet and dainty New

admirers beside the Ozark Bear. jeff
wanted her for his very own--and so
did about a half dozen other youths.
But things will he different this
year Miss Helen Blake Is no more.
She now Is AIRS. Charles Tesreau, and
the ozark Bear Is 50 happy that he
won her as a bride, so care free and
so eager to show his little wife that
he is one of the greatest pitchers that
ever uncoiled wing, that he gives
promise of hanging up pitching rec
ord that will stamp him as the great
est pitcher of all times.
Tesreau. in his first year out, In
1912, won seventeen and lost only
seven games for the Giants-an ave-
rage of .70S. Last year. despite his
worries. ne grabbed OFF twenty-five
out OF thirty-five contests--an average
around $40.
