 The Federal league practically prom ed the players who signed with them not to release them without ny place to 20 if they were found wanting. As n result all the teams in the Federal circuit are carrying more players than they need, with d consequent drain upon their treasury. George s. Ward, vice president of the Brooklyn Feder- aEs. said last night that he had heard of no such contenp1ated purchase. all though he admitted that there had been talk of the Federals buying minor league as a farm.

SIX PLAYERS
 HAVE SIGNED
 WITH FEDERALS

That some players now living up to their 1914 contracts in the major leagues are under contract with the Federal League for next season, is the surprising statement which has just been made by a member of the Wash inEton club. This player declares that he knows six players, who have hooked up with the Feds for next season, and he says that their salar- ies for next season have been placed in banks for them. The players are now drawing interest on this money, this being one of the stipulations. made when it was put away for them.
 The auth ority for the above fur ther declared. that he knew twenty five players who are ready to go over to the FederaIs as soon as their pres .ent contracts expire at the end of. this season. Information which comes from persons close to the players Of Clark Grifhth's club makes it cer- tain that Walter Johnson is not the only player whose future is turning Griff's hair from gray to white.
 The attempts of the FederaIs to get some of Grif1th's players for next year are not viewed with pleasure at this particular time by Washington; fans, who feel that the Nati onals have a chance to win the pennant. It is figured that dreams of future wealth will interfere with the work of the players in the present cam paign.
 With the ten day clause decided in favor of the organized forces and. against the Feds, the future opera tions of the new league will be di- rected against the reserve clause. Players will be regarded as free agents as soon as the life of their contract expires, despite the reserve clause, by the Feds at least, and many of these players have reached the same conclusion.
 While little publicity has been giv- en to the question it is known that there are several players in the ma DOT leagues who are taking the same stand that Walter Johnson is taking. They refuse to sign new contracts and will wait until next fall to let both the. Feds and their present employers bid for their services

 For two rounds McGovern was able to swap punches with Eggers. though the West-side boy was easily weather ing the storm, as his condition and youth gave him the advantage. In the third session it was a toe-to-toe affair, and, lacking the stamina, Mo Govern was battered badly. He was practically helpless, and to save him from a knockout Referee Billy Moore sent the men to their corners.
