 New York. Jan.s 12.-Capt. Huston, one of the new owners of the New York Americans. had a telephone 7coTnpnunication with Manager Dono- van yesterday. From Cleveland Wild Bill sent the glad tidings that he had signed Shortstop Roger Peckin- puagh for a period of three years. It is stated that the Yankee sIor tf1eIder will receive a salary of $7.O00 3. year.
 The new owners believe it is a feather in Donovan's cap in saving Caldwell and Peckinpaugh from the Federal League Peek was seri- ously considering biz offer from Joe Tinker of the Chicago Feds when Donovan arrived on the scene and whispered persuasive conversation in Peckihpaugh's ear.
 Peckinpaugh was one of the best felding shortstops in both leagues last season. He hadBthe enviab1e record Of having taken part in 157 games without missing an inning. In the series with the Athletics in PhiladeI- phia early in October last season PecktnDaugh split one of the fingers of, his right hand, but he refused to leave the game, as he wanted to have a perfect record for the season.
 Although the schedule called for only 154 games, Peckfnpaugh played in two tie games and one postponed game which brought the total to 157. Peckinpaugh acted as manager when Frank Chance resigned, and the team played vastly improved ball un- der his leadership.

 the circuit, the meeting developed into one of the most peaceful ever attempt ed since the inception of fhe Eastern
 association 4{ April #28 and September 6 Qabor day) were decided upon as bhes dates for opening and closing, respectively. As a. result Of this action the 1915 schedule is automatically shortened one week over that of last season. The question of the New Britain and Wa terbury franchises was brought 0lp for discussion but no action taken. There was no information at hand as to whether or not the owners of the Wa terbury dranchise intended to continue in the league as the Brass City was not represented.
 This called for a delay in complet- ing. the circuit and the meeting was adjourned until next Monday, when the directors will definitely decide to continue as an eight club league or go back to the six-cllrEo plan. Indications point strongly to the elimination of Wate terbury and New Britain, however. The scheule allows for 126 games with eight clubs against 120 with six clubs.
 It was left ito James H.. CIarkin, owner of the Hartford club. to figure | in the most startling development of the day. Although Cia.r<in retired from the meeting long. before his feI- low rnoguls ,he put across a well-pre- pared speech that would have put Will ! llIoaJrn Jennings Bryan to shame. Clar- kin's words were in reference to his alleged dealing with the Federal league agents and the Hartford nogul took occasion to upset all of those wild reports by entering an emph attic de- rlial of any treasonalofe act.
 It had been reported from time to time in the newspapers that Clarkin was contemplating deserting the East ern association in the interests of .out- iawry. That he had never conferred with Federal league men and that the subject had never been given any thought until brought to, his attention through newspapers, was CIarkin's s
 surprising statements.
 CIarkin went -on record as being in favor of having the Eastern associa- ton 'acIose shop for one season, but the introduction of this resolution was met with a. polite thFow-down. tSev- eral reasons, especially the hard times were offered as an incentive for such action, but the directors merely laugh ed at Clarlin's scheme.

 FEDERAL OFFER

Boston, Jan 10.-nt was learned yes terday that the ba;tting hero of the 1914 World Series sHaanrnering'' Hank Gows1y, has been approached by rep-s resentatiwes of the Federal league. Realizing 6hat the catcher whose hits made the world championship Boston property would be 'sbig cara. in their circuit next season, President Gilmore made the overtures person ally.
 Gdlmore1s offer was s30, 600 in the bank book of Hank, and possibly a bonus besides The possibly is in serted fbecalIse Hank did not let the proposition go far enough to learn just what extra inducements would be made for the hurdle from the Nation- als to the independents.
 Gowdy made 1t plain that he had signed a three-year contract with George SstaaTil1gs last spring, and aiaat it was one of the ironcaad variety, strong enough to hold in any court, which, when coupled with the much talked-of moral e7b1igation,s made it seem right that he should remain a Brave.

 BOXING SHOW
 BE POOR ONE l?

Local boxing enthusiasts do not ap- pear to be taking much interest in the show which is to be held next Monday night. The impression has circulated around that the card is a cheap one and for that reason the fans are showing reluctance in part ing with their coin.
 It has been a strange coincidence in past years that one or two good shows have invariably been followed by a. collection of poor bouts. Some think that after the two good shows recently staged in the Armory the promoter of tn .econning exhibition may try to hand the public a largo quince.
 Generally there is some aaIk heard before g bout regarding the merits of the boxers but st present the fans are keeping their money in their pockets and are speculating as to whether this show will be worth see- ing. The public has been stung Of ten enough. s

New York Jan. I2-Joe Jeannette and John Lester Johnson stalled and clinched through ten long and weary rounds of alleged boxing last night at the Pioneer Sporting club.

Jeannette did not exert him. self until the eighth round. when he sailed into Johnson and made him look like a novice.
 Johnson was not lacking in game ness and took a terrific beating toward the end of the bout. Jeannette, taunted by the gilbes of the spectators showed little speed in the last two rounds and outpointed Johnson. In the ninth round he was hanging on to the ropes. The bell was the only thing that saved him from being knockedaplt.
