Federals File Suit
Restraining Killifer
From Joining Phils

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH, March 90.
The reserve clause" in baseball play
ers' contracts, the instrument by
which organized baseball has retained
its strange hold on its athletes, was
brought into the Federal Courts here
to- day with the filing OF a petition
for a court order restraining William
J. Killifer, catcher for the Philadel
phia Nationals, from breaking his
contract with the Chicago club of the
Federal League. The suit must be
fer's home is at Paw Paw. in that
State. 1t will be heard April g.
Edward r. Gates. of Indianapolis
general counsel for the Federal
League, fled 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,S3333 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 its 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 eXpertness, and Of
such personal and intellectual char
acter" that no other catcher can fill
his place.

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

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-
tice," 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.
It 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 j. Pluvius held off, which the
weather man expected him to do.

; More Tech
; Players to
the Pros.


The list includes Amason, who is
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
Us they have already been approached
on the subject.
Burroughs played short in a mum
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 fiashy
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 'i6 years Of age. At
Tech his principal achievements
we're 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 il 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 IL 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 il he has not lost
il by reason of becoming muscle
bound or something of that sort he
will make Washington, in the course

REFLECT UPON THIS

There has been considerable said pro and during the
last few months concerning the Warnes Law In the rst
place was not expected that small counties like Medina
could show results like the larger and more wealthy counties
In Medina County the tax duplicate has been raised
from 10000 to $42234365, increase of $2O63465
That means an increase M the taxing districts levy up to
the limit under the Smith per cent. law OF $2O634oo
available for public purposes.
That is NOT ALL The state duplicate has been in
creased nearly OOOOO which enabled the legls
atre at the special session called by the Governor to RE-
DUCE the state levy from 961 mills to .45O mills
Last year Medina County paid the state S3S6O4Z4.
This if the lew had not been REDUCED the state tax
would have been S4O58722; but since it HAS BEEN RE-
DUCED, Medina County will pay $19,OO546, which SAVES
THE COUNTY $21, 1,581.76. HOW DO YOU LIKE III!
Add to that what the increased duplicate makes IN
taxes and we have the sum of S4221641 THAT CAN BE
CREDITED LARGELY TO THE OPERATION or THE
WARNES LAW.
