BASEBALL STARS NOW
listen TO FEDERAbS
Collins, Johnson, Cobb and
Chase Believed to be
Considering Offers
NEW CONTRACTS
ARE THE LEVER

Is wholesale raid on Organized
baseball being conducted by the Fed
eral League? 1t begins to look like
1t. Without the blare of trumpe.s
that invariably has accompanied their
overtures to major league players
the outlaws appear to be attracting
the stars Of the game with offers Of
salaries that are stupendous, jud :
ing them by previous wages paid the
diamond 'ycrkmcn.
Philadelphia became vitally inter.
ested in the raid yesterday when ii
was announced in Chicago that Eddie
Collins had been approached by a
Federal League magnate. The Ath-
letics' brilliant second baseman ad.
mitted that he had talked with Secre-
tary Ward, Of the Brookfeds. Col
Inns, however, was reticent about his
intentions.
The star players Of organized base
ball who are known to have received
offers from the Federal League are:
Eddie Collins, Athletics, from
Brooklyn Federals, three-year
contract, at a salary said to be
$4,000 a year.
Ty Cobb, Detroit, from Chicago
Federals, three-year, contract at
salary said to be $4,000 a year.
Hal Chase, Chicago, from Buff
falo Federals, three-year con
tract, at salary said to be $4,000
a year.
In addition to these players who
are believed to be considering offers,
the men who recently have jumped at
the expiration of ten days notice
are:
Outfelder Armando Marsans,
from Cincinnati Nationals to st.
Louis Federals.
Pitcher Dave Davenport, from
Cincinnati Nationals to st. Lous
Federals.
Pitcher Heine Schultz, from
New York Americans to Brooklyn
Federals.
Rebel Oakes, manager of the Pitts
burgh Feds, visited Philadelphia yes
terday. and it was said he was in
last night with several st.
Louis Cardinals. Slim Salee, the
giant southpaw of the Missouri team.
is believed to be the first man wanted
by Oakes, who formerly played with
the Cards.
Although 1t has not been tested IN
the courts, the new contract, with
the sO-called "ten-day clause" elimi-
mated, now is the basis Of the trou- ,
bic. Marsans took advantage of the |
supposed terms of the contract to |
serve notice on the Cincinnati club |
hat unless certain conditions stipu-
ated by him were complied with in |
en- days, he would quit the team. He
oined the st. Louis Feds when the
en- days expired. Davenport and |
Schultz employed the same measures /
n quitting their respective clubs.
Organized baseball has been unusu- |
lily quiet since the players began to |
serve ten days notice on owners
prompted by the Federal |
nagnates-but 1t is whispered about |
hat the fight soon will be on in
earnest.

skill, thousands Of New Workers
