BARNES REPORTS
To BOSS 0'LEARY
Davenport Blue Sox Working
Out in Pretzel Town
Park.

Jesse James Barnes of Circleville,
Kan, turned up yesterday in time to
join O'Leary's Blue SoX at their double
daily workout. The brilliant young
pitcher, rated among the very best
prospects in the Three-Eye league ar
rived in fine fettle, although bit over
weight.
1t was the surprise of the year
among the players last season when
Barnes did not go to the higher
ups" At that various offers were made
for his services but none of the bid
ders and the local management could
get together.
Last year Barnes had the remark
able record of 20 games won and 10
lost. He stood sixth among the pitch
ers of the league with an average of
667 He led the Blue Sox hurlers.
The coming season will be Barnes
third in professional baseball. Last
year he was drafted from Keokuk
with which club he broke into base
ball in 1912.
Barnes bids fair to graduate this
year if he even duplicates his bril-
liant debut in class B baseball of
last season

Chicago, ILL.,, April 3.-Confldent OF
victory and not fearing the outcome OF
an adverse decision, Federal league
magnates and their attorneys will
leave tonight for Grand Rapids for
their first legal clash with organized
baseball tomorrow.
To Attorney Edward E. Gates, who
will lead the Federal attack, it looks
like case of Heads l win, tails you
lose" and the men who have elevated
the Federal league into its position OF
prominence are of the same opinion
Mr. Gates, after a conference with
President Gilmore yesterday afternoon
talked freely on the outlook.
Hopes Federal Will Win.
For the best interests of our ma,
tional game l sincerely hope we win,
said the Indianapolis attorney. IF
our contract is declared not binding
it will pave the way to lot of jump
ing. No club owner could be sure OF
the makeup of his team. He might
have a good squad one day and find
it wrecked the next. Such a condi-
ton would soon demoralize the sport
and do it a vast amount of harm.
I'VE have ample proof that many
players now in organized baseball are
dissatisfied with the one sided char
acter of their agreements, and although
some of the requests made by the play
ers' fraternity recently have been
granted, we believe the coming of the
Federal league had some f>-auence on
the action of the national commits
sion"

OPEN FOOTBALL TIGERS
NEW PLAN THIS SEASON

Princeton, n. J.. April 3.-That
Princeton will employ the open game
in football next season was made plain
in a letter to the Daily Princetonian
from Knowlton l.. Ames, 80, chairman
of the graduate coaching committee,
which has practical charge of all foot
ball coaching.
Capt. Balm, w. G. Penfield, the
field coach, and the committee all be-
lieve strongly in an open game, or as
it is now called, the ''forward-passins
game the letter states. They also
believe in drop kicking, rushing, and
punting, but belief and spirit and 10y
atty do not make prowess or bring
skill in these different departments.

Mrs. Maude Sharpe of Newton, Mass, practices
what she breaches She does not think it is right to
shed blood to crafty human appetite or vanity For
Al years she has eaten no meat and worn no furs,
leather shoes or belts or ivory ornaments Her hats
are trimmed with lace ribbons artificial flowers
Her table groaned with good things to eat last
Thanksgiving and again on Christmas, but there was
neither roast beef nor turkey.
A faddstY Yes. AT least that's what the neigh
bors call her. STILL kind and gentle and quite in
offensive faddist you'll have to admit; and certainly
I consistent one.
Her notion is that the life of animals is natural
right and therefore sacred Moreover, to take it ca
cept in self defense she thinks is cruel and helps to
breed spirit of indifference to human life She has
succeeded in getting quite group of persons to join
her ia-3 meatless pact.
Which shows that consistent leader can get a
