team had been secured by the Baltimore

what he evidently considered premature
announcement. Barring an outfielder or
two the Baltimore Feds can now put a
complete team in the field, and they have
some spare backstops and infielders who
could fill up in pinch.
Simon was one of the hold-outs of the
Pirates. He refused to sign at the sal
ary offered and Manager Clarke knew
he was dickering with the independents.
Swacina was also a hold-out for more
salary. but Manager Smith had declared
that he would not give in to the first
sacker.
1t was also learned that Pitcher Joe
Finneran of the Phillies had signed TO

.F|TzS|MMONS WINS
A COMEBACK BOUT.
Former Worlds Champion Defeats
Dan Sweeney in Six
Rounds.

NlLLlAMSPORT, Pa. January BE
Robert J. Fitzsimmons. holder of two
championship belts. made his reappear-
ance in the ring last night in Jess Gil
pert arena in a SiN-round bout with
hnock- k-out Dan Sweeney of Cleveland He
showed his old-time form and had the
better of the argument. Bob knocked his
heavier opponent down four times and
was master of the bout from the begin
ming.
Two thousand fight fans witnessed the
contest and one of the worlds greatest
ton when he made his appearance. He
entered the ring at 151 pounds. Sweeney
weighed Is. pounds
In the first round Old Bob appeared to
be slow and Sweeney managed to get in
a few punches. The old hero. however
made every blow count. and after the
third round he appeared in his old-time
form and showered blow after blow on
Sweeney. Every blow had telling eff
feet
Beginning with the fourth round
Sweeney Was OH the defensive for the
rest of the bout. fitz had plenty of
stamina and didn't seem afraid to mix
things up HIS awkward position III Tor
mer fights was very much in evidence in
this, his first attempt to come back.
In the fifth round Sweeney was forced
to the mat on two occasions, but got up
before the count was called. Fftzsirn-
mons was his master in boxing skill, as
was seen in every move Although he
was slow i'm action his guarding and TAX
ing advantage of every opportunity was
exemplified on more than one occasion
His footwork was wonderful and his
blocking showed that he is far from be
ing "has-been
The last round was fast Sweeney
started in with an unexpected squirt. 1t
was evident that Bob wanted a knock
out, for he went after his man like
tiger Blow after blow was rained on
Sweeney, and for the third and fourth
time he was knocked to the mat.
1t was Fitzsimmons' fight all through.
Jess Gilbert refereed the bout and was
satisfactory to the principals and crowd.

CRAVATH TURNS DOWN
$1,000 A YEAR OFFER
Increase by PhilIies Induces Home
Run King to Stick
to Doom.

Los ANGELES. Cal. January 30
Home Run Cravath. the pride and pet of
the Philadelphia fans, and the greatest
base ball hero of this vicinity, has just
turned down a flatterng offer from the
Federal League.
A few days ago Cravath received a
wire from Otto Knabe of the Baltimore
Feds Offering him $4,000 per year to
sign a Federal contract. This sum
opened the eyes Of Cravath for he does
not draw anything near that amount
from the Philadelphia team. but after
considering the offer he decided to re-
fuse 1t, not caring to take chance on
Joining the new organization.
While Cravath has not yet signed a
Philadelphia contract. the terms sent
him by President Baker has met with
his approval, and he fully intends to be
with the Doom clan again this summer.
Gavvy was substantially rewarded by
the Phils for his brilliant work in 1913.
and felt it would be indeed ungrateful
to go back on the club after getting
such an increase. 1t is understood he
was boosted $1,000 over what he drew
down last year, but what he will get
for playing this year in the National
League will not be near as great as
what Knabe offered
CraNath is not the only coast star who
has turned down the Feds. Fred Snod-
grass has declined 20 desert the Giants
although he. too. was offered much more
than what the Giants contract for this
year calls for.
'Tilly' Shafer, another New York
player, has been deluged with contracts
from the FederalS, but has not paid
much attention to any of them.

Judged on his record in the Virginia
League last season. Doc" Ayres. the
young pitcher secured from the Rich
mond club last season. appears to have
a better chance to make good with
the Nationals the coming season than
any of the other youngsters Griffith
has corralled.
The most remarkable feature of
Ayres' record, according to the official
Spalding Record. is that he struck out
$50 batters in the fortv-seven games
he figured in. This is undoubtedly a
record. 1t beats anything that Walter
johnson or Rube waddell ever ac-
complished in fast company.
Ayres, of course, accomplished this
in a minor league, where it is easier
to make records than in the big cir
cults, but for all that his record shows
that he stands an excellent chance to
become a valuable performer for Crit
fith's team the coming season.
There are other features of Ayres' rec
ord which prove him to have been a
most formidable pitcher He worked in
forty-saven games. won twenty-nine and
lost but eight. Incidentally he walked
but twenty nine men all season and Is
charged with but one wild pitch. In the
short trial Ayres had here last fall he
gave indications of being a pitcher of
considerable class, and it would not be
surprising if he developed into one of
Griffs best boXmen. 1t is questionable
whether any of the minor league twirlers
who have come up to fast company in
the last year or so has as splendid a
record has Ayres. There is. of course,
lot of difference in pitching in the Vir-
ginia League and fast company, but
ANreS showed enough last wear to war
rant his being classed as a pitcher who
stands a chance to shine in the Amer
lean League.
The fact that Griffith has been unable
to get any word from Bob Groom as
to whether he is satisfied with the con-
tract sent him some weeks ago does not
necessarily mean that Groom does not
intend to report. Griffith expects to hear
from his tall twirler most any day now
