KiIIifer Expelled by Frat.
New York, April 14.-William NJ
Killifer, jr., catcher, Of the Philadel-
phia National league club, was ex-
PEELED from the membership Of the
Baseball Players fraternity yesterday
for contract jumping" This action
the fraternity took In conformity with
a resolution 1t adopted at its annual
meeting last October, prohibiting
breaches of contract.
In announcing Killifer's expulsion
David L. Fultz. president Of the or
ganization, alluded to "cut-throat tao
tics" Of baseball club owners in in
ducing players to violate agreements.
The n~agnates, more than Killifer,
were blamed for his jumping to the
F~ederals. Killifer is now back with
| Philadelphia and the United States
supreme court has held that he Is the
property of that club. Fultz's state
ment reads:
While the fraternity wishes to go
on record as being absolutely oppos-
ed to this practice, and while it wishes
to rebuke killifer for his action, it
does not feel that he is half as much
to blame as the older and more ex-
perienCed men who held out the lure
and induced him to violate his agree
1nent. If baseball 1nagnates, both or
ganized and otherwise. desire the pub
lie to continue to believe in the hon
esty of the game, they should put an
end to such practices instead Of up
holding n another in these cut
throat tactics.
A the present time the fraternity
seems to be the only faction in base
ball which believes in the integrity
of the contract. We are urging play
! ers to stand by their agreements, first
because they ought to, and second, be-
cause if they do not and the magnates
should decide to bring actions for
damages, jumping players might suf-
fer financial losses far in excess of the
inducement which led to the breach
of contract. We shall, therefore, as
long as the magnates . in organized
baseball live up to the Cincinnati
agreement, continue to exert every
effort to protect them in their con
tractual rights"

NEED OF COTTAGE GARDENS
Enelishwoman DepIores the Absences
In This Country Of These AdJuncts
to the Home.

Mrs. Philip Martineau of London de-
livered an illustrated lecture at Wash
ington recently on the subject of gar
dening. Mrs. Martineau deplored the
absence of cottage gardens" In the
United States, which she declared are
SO common in England. Here, she said,
the back yard which she called "a
most delectable name,' is usually
merely a place to hang clothes to
dry.
"A love of gardens" Mrs. Martineau
said, would, to some extent, eur the
restlessness so often found among the
poorer people of the United States
If a man loves his rose bushes he al
ways hesitates to move"
. She declared that gardening is the
Oldest pastime in the world, quoting
Virgil and others-among them sir
Francis Bacon-to prove her state
ment.
1T is the one sport" she said, de-
void of jealousy, and a gardener.
whether professional or amateur, iR
never selfish"
What perhaps appealed to some Of
the women present in what she said
more than anything else, was a re-
mark that gardens and love Of gar
dening keeps one e~ternally young. for
the old live in the past, the middle
aged in the present and the young in
the future, the garden being essen
TALLY a thing of the future"
In England Mrs. Martineau said,
every one plants his or her own gar
den. even d~uchesses and other women
of the peerage. She spoke of the great
help the Royal Horticultural society
there is to every class, and hoped for
the establishment of some similar OF
ganization in the United States.
