COOPER DESERTS GIANTS FOR FEDS
Fleet Outfielder Gets $5,0O0 Advance Money From
 Brooklyn Outlaws. :.


 Claude Cooper, who last year was one of the outfieIders of the Giants has jumped the New York club. and yesterday signed contract to play three years with the Brooklyn Feder- al league club. Walter Ward, treas. urer of the club, made the announce ment yesterday Cooper is at his home at Fort Worth, Texas and will start today for the Brooklyn's train ing camp at Columbia. s. c. It is said he will receive s5g000 a year and has received one years salary in advance.
 As Manager McGraw has an excess of outfield material the club did not make any special effort to prevent Cooper from Jumping. Cooper played only a few games last season at the Polo Grounds, but he showed such promise that MeGraw had decided to keep him. Cooper will be the only young player in the Brooklyn outlaw s outfield. They already have Dan Mur- play, Steve Evans, Artie Holman, and Al Shaw, all of whom have passed their prime. Not one of these players has much speed on the bases, and the signing of Cooper is the first move in an effort to get faster base runners.
 Treasurer Ward announced also that there is not truth in the report that the club was going to build tenn porary aSzooden stands for the opening of the season. He stated that the season would not be opened in Brook Iyn until the steel and concrete con struction is finished, which will proba- ply be early in May. Until that time the Brooklyn Club will play on the road

MURPHY COULDN'T
 RESIST BIG COIN
Athletic Star Tells Gene Me Cam Why He Jumped
 Connie Mack.

Jacksonville, Fla, March 17.--Gene McCann. who manages a club in the Eastern Association for Morton F. Plant, the millionaire arrived here recently. McCann rode from Jersey City. to CoIunbia, s. C., where the Brooklyn Federa1s will train, with Danny Murphy. Danny told McCann that the FederaIs made him such an offer. with cash in hand. that he could not resist
 seThey offered me- said Murphy to McCann, "a three years contract, with more money in advance than I ever received for a years pay with the. Athletics. figured that was aI-' most through as a player and there was no sentiment about the affair. [
 didn't believe the FederaIs would make good on the offer, but when they began to count out the money in
 10 and 20 dollar bills and saw the
 pile it made grabbed pen and sign ed the contract z Murphy also told McCann that he had received a letter from Manager Mack giving him the alternative of going to Baltimore or receiving his unconditional release and that he be- 1feved he was free agent when he signed with the Federals. This state ment, however, does not coincide with those made by Mack and Dunn, who are willing to produce letters in which Murphy promised to accept the Balti- more proposition.

 At National League headquarters yesterday it was said that Seaton had ccepted the Philad de1phia club owners terms and conditions of contract before the pitcher was finally Iured away.

D0DO MAYER IS OUTPOINTED BY
 BATTLING OTTO

South Norwalk. March 17.-Follow- ing 10 rounds of heroic glove-swing-l ing in which time neither boxer gave ground for minute Young Otto of New York outpointed Dodo Maher of tNew Haven at the armory here last night From the tap of the gong the sboys fought like ferocious tigers and the mill turned out to be the most tertaining staged here in years Otto proved to be of the calibre that the press reported while the assemblage went fairly wild over Maher's game ness The mill was featured by Ma hers 10-round finish, the Elm City scrapper pu1nmelling his opponent all over the ring with terrific right punches and left hooks. Maher, how ever. submitted to considerable pun ishment.
 Tommy Shea, New Ravens clever bantam, easily gained the popular verdict over Charlie Young of New York Young was substituted for Jackie Robinson of Shelton, who was unable to appear. Shea danced in and out, landing at will throughout the eight rounds.
 A small crowd witnessed the bouts.

RIBBONS TACKLE KNICKERBOCKERS
 HERE TONIGHT


 It is expected that Colonial hall will be packed tonight when the Blue Ribbon baaketbal1 players make their last desperate effort to beat the Knick- erbockers of New York. It will be the fourth time the Knickerbockers have shown here and each game has been closer than the preceding one.
 Manager Leavy will have his strong est defensive lineup including Wallum. the light haired guard from Paterson, N J., and Harry Cahin of NorwaIk. Stow and Morrison will be on the for ward line and George Smith is to do. the jumping act at center. The Knickerbockers will have their usual a1l-star cast but their team work is so perfect that the individual play doesn't attract so much attention. There will be the usual dancing after the big game. The main contest will start at 8:3O.

HIGH SCHOOL FRESHMEN
 WON'T BACK DOWN
 BEFORE ATHLETIC ASSOC.
Communicated

The firm stand taken by the Fresh men at Bridgeport High School, re- garding the methods of the Athletic Association, as stated in the Farmer Saturday evening, caused no little comment among the students at that institution the last few days.
 While the upper classmen were pretty well .peeved'' that the Fresh : ies'' should take it upon themselves to attack the A. A., nevertheless every word was true and no doubt the Freshmen are to be recognized in the future, if the rumors throughout the school are true.
 Should the members of the Athletic Association offer any denial, the Freshmen will simply ask that body to correspond with Meriden, New Britain, Naugatuck, or Hartford High Schools, in order to see how (up-to- date?) B. H. S. is, in regard to ath- letics.
 If the Freshmen have acted too soon regarding the matter, differences will undoubtedly be patched up, but under no circumstances will the 'tEzreshies" be dictated to by tha as- Soeiation. The Freshmen have voic- ed their opinion, it has been put be- fore the interested parties and as far as the class of 1917 is concerned. all other controversy is deemed entirely unnecessary
