Lieut. Thompson and his charges OF All
Stars will arrive at : a. M. tomorrow
from Fort Washington to battle the En-
gineers for the championship of the army
and for the benefit Of the Red Cross
Society.
The All Stars are composed of the pick
OF players from Fort Monroe, Fort Tot
ton. Fort Howard. Fort Dupont and Fort
Washington and Hunt. The All Stars
have been practicing hard at Fort Wash
ington for the past week. and promise to
give the Engineers a game Of their life.
Lieut.. Carenth has driven the Engineers
hard for this game. and a good account
is expected OF them.
Manager Story is deserving Of consider
able praise for his success in arranging
an excellent schedule for the Engineers.
and his reelection TO the management of
the team is almost assured.
The Engineers to date have a perfect
record for this season and have been
scored on only once in the past two years,
that being by an intercepted forward
pass by a Vigilant end last year. The
team to date has scored 2S3 points 10 their

been the victims: Reina Mercedes 0 to -:

Blair had some experience IN high
schools. but the greater part OF his expe-

a star on a Boston high school team, and
had he remained he would have been
transferred to Everett High School, which
IS considered the best in the United
States, having been defeated by Chicago.

Bender and Marquard
Jump to FederaIs
Left-hand Hurler Of Giants
Signs with Brooklyn, While
Chief May Go with St.
Louis.
EAGER TO JOIN TWIRLER

New York, Dec. 4-"Rube" Marquard
left-handed pitcher for the New York
Giants, has signed a contract to pitch
for the Brooklyn Federals. according tc
an announcement made this afternoon
by Robert B. Ward. president Of the
Brookfeds.
Ward would not state the amount that
Marquard will get but intimated that II
was a large sum. It is believed that the
eccentric left handlers salary viii be
s1e,OCc.
1t is doubtful II Marquard will be al
lowed to pitch, for the Feds without some
restraining action being taken by the
New York Giants. Marquard was signed
up by the Giants last spring under a
three-year contract.
Marquard Joined the Giants in 1905. He
came from the Indianapolis club. The
Giants paid $1,000 for him. He wasn't
much of a success for two or three years,
but gained great fame in 1872 by winning
nineteen straight games. He had a good
year in 1913, but was a failure this year.
Chicago. Dec. 4.-Charles Bender, Con-
ME Mack's Indian pitcher will sign with
the st. Louis Federals within a few days.
according to President James Gilmore,
OF the Federal League, who this after
noon received a telegram from Baltimore
announcing the fact Bender, the mes
sage said, was eager to join his team
mate, Eddie Plank, on the Mound City
team.
The Washington herald., 1914-12-05

New York. Dec L-David L. Fultz,
president of the Baseball Players Fra
ternity, tonight made the following state
ment: Informs ton has reached me that
Rube Marquard, in spite of the fact that
he is under a binding contract with the
New York club for the season Of lSl"
has signed with the Brooklyn Federal
League club
The report is hard to believe, as
feel the Brooklyn people would not know
ingly sign a player under these circum-
stances.
IF Marquard has done this. he will
unouestionably be expelled from the
Baseball Players Fraternity. as the di-
rectors absolutely will not countenance
any such disregard of their obligations
by its members"
Where do they get OFF," asked John
Heydler, of the National League, when
asked about the proposed big salaries
the Federals are to pay Walter john
son and Rube Marquard.
Baseball is now taxed to the limit to
meet expenses and if it had not been
for the close race between the Giants
and the Bustons there would have been
an unusual loss to both of these teams
which figured among the money makers
of the season.
TT seems to me suicidal" continued
Heydler. for A new organization 10 at
tempt to pay such enormous salaries.
There is hardly a chance for any of them
to break even. and most are certain to
be big losers on the year. l know moth
ing about the reported jumps of John
son and Marquard. The office Of the
president is merely a clearing house Of
the league. We are now getting out our
annual reports.
There can be no peace with such
methods. In fact. organized baseball is
not looking for peace. Its the Federals
who are cutting their own throats They
can't afford to pay the high salaries they
promise and make expenses"
Any man who will jump a contract
gill throw a game" said Ed. Barrow.
president NJ the International League.

New York Club Will
Fight Marquard Case

New York. Dec. 4-Another serious
court tangle is certain to follow the flop
Of Rube Marquard to the Brookfeds.
The '$ll. 600 beauty of the Giants sign
ed a contract today to pitch for the
Ward team. according TO information
given out by the management of the
Brooklyn Federals.
The jump Of Marquard was quite a
surprise to the management of the
Giants, because he has a contract with
the New York club for the years 1915
and 1916, minus the ten-day clause,
Pube's last season with the Giants was
not at all satisfactory. In fact, they at
tribute their loss Of the pennant to the
failure Of the vaudevillian to get into
shape to do proper work for the season.
While the Giants do not feel that they
will suffer any material loss in losing
Maruuard. il is doubtful whether they
will allow the Rube to play with the
Rrookfeds, inasmuch as he is iron-bound
to play with them.
The report is that the Wards refused
The Washington herald., 1914-12-05

TO accept Marquards contract until he
had made an affidavit that ne was not
under contract to the Giants. After such
evidence, 1t Is said. the famous southpaw
IIGned with the Brooklyn outlaws
Both President Hampstead and John ID.
Foster, secretary Of the Giants. TODAY
disclaimed any intention Of prosecuting
the case, except TO see that MarqUard
does not play with any other team than
the Giants.
'As an asset" said Mr. Foster. Ma
guard is worth nothing to Us except as
some value I'm d trade. OF course. We
will protect our interests. but even in a
trade Marquard would amount TO little"
As for any alleged criminal action
against Marquard for the alleged cor
tract violation, it is said that nothing
will be done. As the Wards have gone
on record not to interfere with the con-
tracts of other teams, IL IS assumed that
the BrOOkfed management when il is as
sured that Marquard is a contract
jumper" II he is. will have no further
negotiations with him.

ADVANCE MONEY MAY
CAUSE BIG TROUBLE

New York, Dec. 4.-Robert B. Ward,
when told that the New York club and
the National League held a signed con-
tract signed by Marquard to play with
the Giants for two years, became some
what excited.
''If that is true" he said. I'VE don't
want Marquard, but he will find that
his move will take him into court. He
came to me and made an affidavit that
he was not bound in any way to the
Giants.
Acting on this understanding signed
him and gave him considerable money in
advance. l think he is liable to criminal
action for getting money under false pre-
lenses. We acted in good faith. and will
refuse to be imposed upon in any way.
Marquard came to US. We did not seek
him.
At the same time that Mr.. Ward was
talking of criminal action against Mar
guard. Harry n. Hampstead, president of
the Giants, was considering action Of an
other kind.

Freddie Welsh's failure to earn a deci-
sion over Young Shugrue at Madison
Square Garden was obviously due to the
coat Of overconfdence which he wore
Like so many others VINO have achieved
success in the ring. Welsh had the idea
that because he happened to be the
lightweight champion there was no out
slider who could touch him in the ring. He
probably believed that his title would
ward OF as many blows as his physical
defense. But he was badly fooled. Shru-
grue was not in the least awed by the
Intangible crown which the champion
wore. On the other hand, he seemed to
be inspired by filmy presence. The result
was that Freddie was lucky to get out
Of the battle well as he did. Which goes
to show that the undertaking of an
opponent is as bad as overrating ones
own ability, and the combination is fatal
Says the Philadelphia Telegraph base
ball expert: Several followers Of the
Athletics to whom the writer has talked
since the announcement of Plank's sign
ing with the Federals believe that Eddie
has made a mistake in going over TO the
independents. They base this belief on
the fact that Plank was not worked hard
by Manager Mack. Eddie was given long
spells of idleness. In the words of the
players, he was "nursed" along being
sent in only when he felt confident that
he was at his best and to oppose teams
against which he was The most effective.
These fans argue that Plank Is likely

recalled that Seaton, although a pitcher
who loved hard work. was given so much
twiriing to do last season that his arm
went back on him in midseason. The
fans who think that Plank will not be

the Athletics also declare that Plank will
not have such a great team OF batsmen,
fielders and team workers to back him
up as he had with the Athletics.
There is no doubt though. that Plank
will have the best wishes Of the Athletics
followers for success. no matter to what
team he is assigned.

OTHER SPORT COMMENT
BY WILLIAM PEET.

Walter Johnsons flop to the Feds was
the absorbing topic Of conversation In
Washington yesterday. and opinions
were voiced on very street corner. in
cafes. and other public places.
That the Washington club will protect
its interests by instituting legal proceed
ings to enjoin the Feds from playing
Johnson goes without saying. and the
outcome will be mighty interesting.
Leaving all sentiment aside and look
ing the situation squarely in the face.
Johnson was Ill advised and a foolish
boy to jump from the ranks Of organ
lied baseball for S55.0cO-two-ycar con-
tract
Thirty-five thousand dollars is a whole
lot OF money these hard times. and II
Johnson was at the end of his career
as a baseball pitcher. he might be justi
fed in taking the step.
What he should have demanded from
the Federals was a five-year contract
calling for 10000. with the money so
placed that he could pull it down at
stated intervals with the accrued in
terest.
As the thing stands now he will be
paid big salary for two years-after
that. what?
The Feds are sure to come to some
agreement with the forces OF organized
ball before many months have elapsed
johnson should be a great pitcher for
ten years. He will continue in the game
because he loves baseball and also loves
money.
Just as soon as the grand ''blow-off
comes and baseball salaries are adjust
ed. johnson is going to find himself in
an embarrassing position.
II Is extremely doubtful II he again
will be welcome in the Capital-even
American League fans will sour on him.
The day of inflated salaries will have
ceased to exist and Walter will be forced
to play ball at the terms offered. He
will hardly be IN u position to dictate to
any manager.
cially to retire from the game in two
Eanized ball-but the chances are that
Walter has no such intentions.
Had Johnson remained loyal to the
Washington team his salary would have
increased as the club prospered. A worlds
series was not out OF the question. After
Walters days OF usefulness HI been
spent in the Capital he would have been
taken care of by the American League.
but his action in jumping TO the Outlaws
has left bad odOr hereabouts. and one
hardly likely to die out in few years.
There aIe some fans in Washington
who believe that johnson vas perfectly
justified in signing with the Federal
League. They advance the argument that
Walters great reputation which invari-
ably insured a big crowd whenever he
worked made him such valuable club
asset that no matter what the price. It
should have been paid to retain him. and
