Awarding of Players Is Made
but Magnates Refuse to Give
Out Dope.

Chicago, ILL.,, March after a final
session of the Federal league here
Saturday the magnates announced they
were all set for the season. All the
club owners and managers, with one
exception, met at the Chicago Ath-
Ietic association and while much was
accomplished, President Gilmore as
serted another meeting would be nee
essary to complete all the details.
At the morning session the manag-
ers were admitted along with the club
owners, and there was division of all
the ball players under contract. The
lists were not announced at the close
of the meeting, but will be given out in
few days. Nearly 200 players were
distributed to the various clubs. Pres
ident Gilmore said that, while there
were some strong arguments made by
managers and owners, everything
finally was settled to the satisfaction
of every member of the league
II was learned that every Federal
league team has closed for training
grounds, as follows: Chicago, at

There must be romance and senti-
ment in the soul of Jesse Tannehill,
the old Ieft-hander Twenty years ago
he was pitching in the Virginia
league, and it was from the Virginia
league that he went to the fast COM
pany where he remained so many sum-
mers. Now, in the twilight of his ca
rer, Tannehill has written his old Vir-
ginia club for position. He states,
and it is true, that he has good offers
to go out as a scout, or to manage
and play on various minor clubs; but
that his heart yearns for Virginia, and
that he would like to finish his base
ball story where it began. Still able
to pitch good ball, keen of thought,
seasoned and sharpened by 20 years
of diamond work, Tannehill, like most
wanderers, wants to go back to the
scenes of his youth at the last and
the old pitcher will very likely get
his wish. If so, Tannehill, this sum-
mer, will be the only yestige of the
ancient club-owners- man.
ager and players have all gone, and
of the whole array he alone will re-
main as a factor in the game.
