peals. announced here to-day that he had
granted an appeal In the Federal League
case relative to Killifer. which was ds-
cided against IT at Grand Rapids several

Injunction.
II also was announced that the hearing
probably would take place in this city
some time in the fall
killifer signed contract and decided
to play with the Chicago Federal League
club. Later he reconsidered his action
and jumped back 10 the Philadelphia club,
and the Federal League brought suit IN
the United States court at Grand Rapids
in an effort TO enjoin him from playing
with the Philadelphia club
In deciding the case, Judge Sessions, in
lengthy opinion, denied the application
of the Federal League club for an in
junction on the ground that the Chicago

hands" The reserve clause, however.
was held not valid. but killifer was al
lowed to return TO the Philiies. after be-

BRITONS WORRIED
OVER POLO TEAM
English Press Fears That
WimbOrne's Men Are No
Match for u. S.

London, May 6.-Considerable comment
has been evoked in the English papers
over the poor showing made by the Eng
lish team selected 10 play this year in
America for the polo cup.
The Sportsman" to-day says that, re-
alizing something is wrong with the Brit
ish team. Baron Wimborne has altered
the order OF his side for to-day's match
to be played against a strong team, con-
sisting of Walter s. Buckmaster. Mr..
Grenfell Captain Leslie ST. c. Cheape
and Lord Wodshouse. whose handicap
value is two goals better than that OF
Baron Wimborne's team.
The newspaper says that II the chal-
longing team does badly again to-day It
would be wise TO consider whether the
trip to the United States should not be
postponed for year, as bad failure on
its part would do much harm.
THE Daily Telegraph" takes the view
that IL is impossible for Baron Wimborne
to arrive at any decision until he has seen
how the team plays in test matches this
week.
THE Pail Mall Gazette" says that on
such form as it displayed on Monday the
British team does not stand a 100 TO
chance. At present it lacks both leader
and confidence. both of which are essen
tial TO its success in America.

STAR OF AL REICH
In THE ASCENDANT
"Gunboat" Smith and Battling"
Levinsky to Box Ten Rounds
at Stadium A. c.

The hurricane style in which Al Reich
shattered the aspirations Of Jack Davies.
a self confessed heavyweight from the
West, would indicate that he Is on his
way toward q prominent place In tho
ranks of the white heavyweights. Reich
has boxed only three professional bouts.
He stopped Sailor" White in a few
rounds. but came to grief at the hands Of
Carl Morris. After that he retired for a
long time, but returned TO the ring TO
meet Dawes, who was heralded as quite
a rugged customer.
If nursed along carefully during the
next year or more until he gains expert
ence at the expense of third-rate men,
Reich should make name for himself
He has everything that goes to make a
champion With a wonderful physique,
he has skill and hitting power, and for a
comparative novice is fairly resourceful.
He is one of the few boxers to-day who
has shown a strong body attack.
That much talked OF match between
"Gunboat" Smith and Battling" Levinsky
will take place after all-that Is, unless
some break in the luck should result in
Smith securing the match with Jack
Johnson IN place of Frank Moran. Billy
Gibson has matched the men 10 box ten
rounds at the Stadium A. c. on May 2S.
Smith will receive a guarantee Of 5000
for his end.
