" COBB IS NOT WORRIED .
 BY BAN JOHNSON'S THREAT
Says American League President Ought To Be Sure Be
 fore Making Charges

but I would not make such charges unless I saw for myself that this is being done and have not seen it. It sems to me Johnson ought to make sure he is in the right before he threatens to drive me out of base ball.
 Johnson has threatened before to expeI Cobb. but Cobb is still there bat ting out at a 400 clip.
 It is obvious that the threat is only an idle one, but there is one certain ty-the case will positively lead to the abolition of the so-called p1ayer-"au thor.'' Eddie Collins has .beeh forced to quit his writing, and now 1t be- hooves the National Commission to squelch Cobb and John McGraw.

RELEASE KELTHER
 FOR HIS FAILURE
 TO RETIRE EARLY

Worcester, June 17.-Manager Jesse Burkett announces that he has re- leased Keliher, former Hartford first baseman. Kel1her figures on signing with Little Rock in-the Southern as- sociatton. Burkett said he released him and Pitcher Johnson for failure to observe bedtime rules as faithfully as they might have done.

Dick McCa;be, who pitched for Bridgeport in 1913 and 1914, has been sold to the Boston Red sox by Lewiston, Me. 2 Arthur Irwin, the former New York American. scout, is managing Lewiston. He took Mo ,Cabe after much urging from Secre- tary Reddy of the Bridgeport club, who wanted to get the youngster a, job. McCabe comes from Mamar- oneck, N. Y, and never played pro fessional ball until he was signed by Bridgeport. He twir1ed several ex- hibitfon games for Bridgeport at the beginning of the present season. Me Ca,be looked promising when he was here.

FEDS EXPECT TO
 INVADE NEW YORK NEXT SEASON SURE

New York, June 1T.-It looks like a certainty that the FederaIs will invade Boston next season According to what could be gleaned from talk with James A Gilmore, the Federal chief, at the Wa1dorf-Astoria last night. the powers that be in the league think so well of the proposition that they have organized a, little party to take the trip to the Hub and look the ground over. -
 1t is understood that the men behind the Boston proposition desire to build a park in the Forest Hills section, on plot that was wanted by James Gaffney for his stadium. At that time the plot was not available, and Calf ney had to go to Aston, several miles further out of town.
 '~These Boston, men have been after me for some time, and, after investi- fgation, we found them to be reputable business men of high financial stand ing. They insist that a Boston club in the Federal league, owned and con tro1led by Boston capital, would be a great success, and if we find that they are likely to be right we will go ahead and come into Boston in 1916. There is absolutely no chance of any change in our circuit this season."
 When asked if the entry into Boston would mean the abandonment of the New York proposition, Gilmore as serted that there would be a Federal club in this city, no matter what hap pens.
 t@We are coming to New York next season, whether we go into Boston or not. We must go into this city. In the last few days I have been inspect ing grounds for the New York club and going over the plans and figures prepared by MT Comstock. These grounds are on Manhattan Island, and admirably. located"
 President Gilmore would not say which clubs would lose their fran chises in order to make way for New York and Boston. It behooves Buffalo and Baltimore to shake a, leg if they hope to stay in the league.
