BROWNS WELLS. Miss. March g.
The real inside story of the reason that
Big Bill James wants to step Fedwards
came out this morning when Hap Mey-
ers, who has spent his whole winter
with James. told this story at Browns
Wells, Miss. where the advance guard
of the Brookfeds has just arrived.
James was at New Orleans when the
party landed there Wednesday. and
at that time it was his intention to
travel to the Wells with the team.
While he was waiting a telegram from
President Weeghman of the Chicago
Feds asked him to come INN ediately
to Chicago and there entrafn with the
Chifeds and. on the way to their camp
at Shreveport. La, to talk the matter
over with the Chicago owners.
James claims he will be justified in
doing the hurdle. The management of
the Boston club made promises which.
according to his statement. were never
kept For instance, there is the mat
ter of that bonus that was to have
been paid to every man on the team,
he alleges, if the Braves finished one,
two, three. They finished world cham
pions and that largely through the
work of Bill James; and yet all he got
of that bonus promise was $1,000. says
he. and the other $500 that he should
have received he never saw.
Claims He Signed Cheap.
Then there is another subject on
which he complains. That is the mat
ter of salary. When James joined tho
club the Braves we're tail-enders. and,
he asserts, he accepted small con-
tract for three years because of
nromise that If the club went good he
would be paid what he was worth to
them. He quotes Stallings as saying
that if James should prove to be worth
$4,000 he would get it. All this talk

report to the training camp grounds
this year James was Informed that he
would have to play at his old contract
price.
nap Myers has this to say:
IF Perritt or Johnson or Austin can
flop back and forth, regardless OF their
contracts. what is there to prevent the
Feds from inducing men to do the same
hing-especialry as organized base
ball will take them back. regardless
of the validity of their contracts.
There is nothing in that to keep
man the right side of the fence. If or
gained base ball won't recognize our
contracts. and wins the support OF the
vent us from taking a man from its
lea guess"
Magee Finds Weak Spot.
The question now resolves into a
query as to whether the Brookfeds
will get James, if he eventually jumps
1t is foolish to think that Tinker will
give a man away, and certainly the
he will jump to another club and then
be traded to Brooklyn. But, again, II

manager getting his hands on pitch

Magee.
Magee thinks he has discovered q
vulnerable spot in James contract
despite the inevitable court tight that
will be sure to be made upon James
f1opping. After a conference with HaE
Myers, Magee declared that the time
was ripe for him to take action. His
plan is to have James signed by the
Federal League and then given tc
Brooklyn. The league will have &c
f1eht the case, not the Brookfeds.

Of the clubs affairs:
There has not been time in years
when we have had our finances in as
good condition as they are at present.
and our membership Is growing so fast
that we will have to call a halt soon
or else enlarge our quarters. We have
been having success from every stand
point during the past year, our crews
having done well and everything hav-
ing moved along in fine shape. We
have made extensive preparations for
the coming season, and expect it to be
productive of more laurels for our boys

Jack Haas, who coached the Kendall
Greeners, deserves no little credit for
his work. He had the boys working
well all the year, with the exception
of the first two weeks, when nearly all
the players were off form, because Of
vaccination. Haas is well liked and
everybody at the Kendall Green in
stitution thinks he has made good.
Despite the fact that it has been ru-
mored Catholic University might not
have formidable pitching staff this
spring for its base bah team, it looks
very much as if it will not be lacking
in that particular. 1t has two stars
from other colleges and one youngster.

veloping into an exceptionally capable
finger. There will be on the slab as
regulars for c. q. this spring Fahey,
who pitched last year for Holy Cross;
Croker. who was a star at Colgate
two years ago. and Don Johnson. who
made something of a name for himself
In local amateur circles. johnson and
Croker were members Of the nine last
spring, though the latter hardly meas
ured up to the standard that had been
expected of him. Fahey should pitch
good ball, as he was something of a
star at Holy Cross.
Harry Kelley should prove the main
stay of the Georgetown pitching staff.
Kelley has been on the Hilltoppers'
list two years and last spring he did
even better work than in 1913. Kelley
produced a good curve ball and a lot
of speed. his only trouble being lack
Of control. But Kelley pitched a lot
of good games and should not be found
lacking when he steps to the mound at
the beginning of this season
Incidentally, Kelley is one of the best
all-round athletes Georgetown has had
in a long while. He plays foot ball
brilliantly. is a star in basket ball
and can pitch base ball whole lot bet
ter than the average college hurler 1t
is not often that one man combines
those accomplishments and is among
the best in all.
The Maryland Agricultural College
will be compelled to start it's season
this spring with an entirely new out

made unanimous.

as a surprise. Keegan has the capa-

ever since he began playing with c. L.

pretty nearly everything a star per-
