Ned O'Baldwin, Former
 White Hope, Was Taller
 Than MT. Jess Willard

Ned OBaldwin. known as the ssTrish Giant was neither a cham pion nor did he win any parttcular renown in the American ring, but is much talked of pugihst in his day and an original hope the story of his somewhat unhappy and stormy career is worthy of space
 Matched on three different occa- sf6ns to fight Jem Mace, at that time the undisputed heavyweight cham pion of the world and one of the most famous ringsters who ever put a leg between ropes. it was O'1Sald- wins fate never to actually do battle with him
 And when matters pugilistic so came about that Ned found himself tn a ring with the nearest claimant to title honors, that pinnacle of fame but topp1ed him into 8 prison cell.
 Though of winning personality. courageous and possessed of a fair knowledge of the manly art, bad luck trotted at the heels of Ned sOsBald- win throughout his career. and even at the last, he was murdered by the man he had befriended.
 As sanope" Ned was the biggest man as to altitude who has ever trod the ring. Jess Willard, today the bait who may yet land our descredfted champion, Jack Johnson in the hands of the federal authorities, stands 6 feet inches, but O'BaIdwin~ topped him by half an inch, though he was not so heavy a man as Jess.

HARTFORD AND SPRINGFIELD
 OWNERS DEFY BAN JOHNSON
Clarl1in Threatens to Close His Baseball Park in
 Capital City.

The report published in the New York Evening Sun that President Ban Johnson of the American league would get after Owners Clarkin of Hartford and Carey of Springfield. if they didn't stop flirting with the Fed erals has aroused these two Eastern association magpates to flights of ora tory.
 Listen to the statement of Clarkin:
 Neither Ban Johnson, Gene Mo Cam, nor anybody else can scare me from the position I have taken re- garding my connection with baseball in the Eastern Association. What I do from now on is nobody's business but my own. So far neither the East ern Association nor the proposed new Federal League offers anything of val ue to man with money invested in
 minor league baseball in New Eng land.
 ssssI triedrto have the Eastern Asso- citation either suspend for a. season, along with MT. Carey and MT. Cam eron, or look into the question of forming a merger with New England League clubs, and my efforts were of no avail want to give the people of Hartford the kind of baseball to which a city of this size is entitled It can be done through a merger, but it cannot be done through any six club league which the Eastern Asso- citation now proposes.
 told the directors at the meeting this week that I would shut down my park rather than go into any such league, and that I would close the gates and not even rent the grounds to the league. Any gumshoe work by Gene McCann in his visits to Ban Johnson will have no effect on me.
 4I stand ready to give Hartford good baseball, when the conditions are such that it can be achieved No such conditions exist at this time either in the Eastern Association or the Federal proposition Therefore,

CARRIGAN
 WON'T GIVE
 UP BOXME:N

New York, Feb. 4.-According to Btn Carrigan, manager of the Boston Red sox, there is not. 8 chance of the High1anders procuring either Ray Collins, the veteran southpaw. or. vean Gregg, the former Nap in an. exchange of players between the two teams. st.If there is a deal on between Bos- ton and New York, I am not aware. of the fact. said Manager Carrigan yesterday. .'All know is what have read in the papers. did not come here purpose1y to meet Bill Donovan and so far no proposition has been made to me for either Col 1ins or Gregg.
 Carrigan was then asked if he were willing to trade either one of the pit chers to help the New York Club
 tsI am pretty well satisfied with my team as it is,' was the reply of the leader of the Red Sox. 1T am going to use eight pitchers next season and in the eight will be Collins and Gregg, Both are great pitchers and the New York Club has nothing to offer for either of them, with the possible ex- ception of Ray Ca1deweu.,'
 Although Carrigan declares that there is no trade pending it IS believed several trades will be made. Donovan arrived at the hotel last night from the south and conferred with Joe Bir- rai11glaanl Of the Naps and Connie Mack of the Athletics.

Lannin Thinks Fed
 Minor League Will Be
 Big Financial Failure

New York. Feb. 4.-Jim Gilmore and his Federal 1eaguers will come an awful cropper if they attempt to organize a minor league up in New England, according to Joseph J. Lannin, owner of the Boston Red 'Sox MT. Lannin was in town to at tend the schedule meeting of the American League at the Belmont yes terday afternoon, and discussed at length various baseball questions with the writer last evening. includ- ing the New England Fed movement.
 New England is good baseball territory" said MT. Lannin, but the field is thoroughly covered, I do not believe that it is possible to organize another minor league up there, and if the Federals attempt it, they will simply be throwing thousands of dol lars away.
 tsThe men who are trying to get MT. Ward and MT. Gilmore interested in the project are reported as merely promoters. They do not propose to finance the scheme themselves, and are said to be counting on the. Wards to do that.
 .'The owners in the New England League will fight any such movement to finish and they have plenty of money. do not believe that the Wards will entertain the proposition of starting this minor league for a minute, when they investigate it thoroughly

have-- nothing further to say except that Ban Johnson could do much worse than pay a little attention to what is going on in this section of the baseball country.''
 e Springfield, Mass, Feb. 4-Presi- dent William E.. Carey of the Spring field club doesn't appear to be wor- rfed over the threat of Ban Johnson of the American League and National Commission to bar the doors of organ ized baseball to him if he sees fit to jump to the Feds. He was told of Johnson's statement. smiled a little, and. then remarked:
 Well, am glad this little neck of the woods has been recognized at last. It's better late than never and I would be only too glad to have MT. Johnson corneA up here and see for himself just how things are, if organ ized baseball is interested in keeping it's leagues together. It's up to or ganized baseball to protect the minor circuits.
 "I have maintained all along I am for organized baseball and want to stick to it. I have never at any time showed any inclination to support the national game other than through or ganized fbaseba1I. For five years I have been trying to adjust the affairs of the Eastern Association and New England League so that we might have a merger, the thing which the Federal League is trying to accom- plish in another way.
 .sRegard1ess of MT. Johnson's s lthreats, am ready and willing to go on with baseball in the Eastern As sociation. He is sincere perhaps in what he says, but, he should not take too much stock in the talk of men who haven't a cent invested in the game. It would be a lot more to the point to hear what the men, who have thousands of dollars invested have to say and what they have to offer for the salvation of baseball in New England.''

MILE-A-MINUTE MOTOR BOATS TO
 BE BUILT SOON

New York. Feb. 4.-The annual dinner of the Motor Boad Club of America, was held in the assembly room of the Automobile Club of America last evening.
 From sporting standpoint, it was perhaps one of the most important meetings the club has had, for with it came the prediction by Chris Smith of Algonac, Mich, designer of the wonderful speed boats of Commodore Blackton's fleet, notably BabyAReli- ance and Mrs. Blackton's Speed De- mon, that the nile-a-minute boat was not only in sight, but probably would show that speed before the end of the 1915 racing season came to 8. close.
 Coming from such an authoritative source and in such a public fashion, hopes Of the accomplishment of this supreme speed test seem rosy indeed The announcement was most enthu- siasticaIly received by the seventy-ftye motor boat enthusiasts who were at the dinner. So too was the proposi- ton to establish a one-design class of racing boats for the purpose of arous- ing additional interest in the sport of motor boat racing.
 It is proposed to establish a 21-foot

SUSPENSION AND
 FINE FOR B0KMEN
 USING EMERY BALL

At the American league meeting yesterday tsvo new rules were adopted that are Of vital interest to the play CTS of the game. Onew as to issue to each player of the league two sea son passes good for any American League park. a move that is expected to save the players and the officials Of the clubs confusion. It was also determined to make a bitter fight aeainst what is termed the emery ball.
 This freak delivery was used by most of the pitchers on the Boston Red Sox and some of the Yankees last year and is occasioned by the pitcher putting small piece of emery in his glove and when getting new ball rubbing a part of the ball on the pa per and roughening it.
 when the ball is thrown it takes a peculiar curve and is puzzling to the Cobbs and Speakers The penalty for pitchers using this delivery next sea son will be suspension and a big fine. ALSO urnpires will be instructed to watch a rule breaker that an example nnaye be made.

 OF RING BATTLES

His opponent was a ''dark horse'' who had been carefully trained, and who afterward became famous as ''White-He Headed Botb' Baldwin. He was no match for the Black Diamond,'' and after a game resistance, during which his face was terribly battered, he was forced to give in. Ward fought his way up to the top of the pugilistic ladder, and in the '50's he visited New York and became the lien of the hour.

WORCESTER WANTS MERGER OF EASTERN AND N. E. LEAGUES

Boston. Feb. 4.-When the New Eng land league club owners assembled this afternoon in Boston for their reg ular scheduled meeting it was prob able that the little old New England, 7 following the style set by the Eastern association, would reduce it's circuit from eight clubs to six.
 Treasurer John J. O'Donnen of the Worcester club had a scheme that he advocated at today's meeting. O'Don- Inell, like Jesse Burkett, of Worcester, is a merger-fnan through and through. and believes that only by merging will it be possible to cope with the Fed eral league movement which has all of the club owners more or less worried. ttIt is all right said O'Donnel1, flor us club owners to talk about the Fed era1 Ieaguers making no money if they come into this territory and start opposition clubs. It would be a. losing money game, but in the light of past events who do you suppose would quit first?
 What favor is for each league to drop, just for the season of 1915, two of it's cities and then adopt what might be termed, for 1915, an inter league schedule between the eight re- nnaining clubs. That would give all hands a stronger organization with which to combat this Federal league game. It would save us from carry ing along a couple of clubs in each league that would be money losers from the start

Tom Dun1ea, the New Haven box ing promoter, has offered Freddy Welsh guarantee of $7,5Oo with a Privilege of 30 per cent of the gate receipts for a bout with Willie Beech CT. He wants a 20 round bout to decide inc lightweight title. The New Haven man thinks such fight would draw a $B0,0OO house. Welsh's manager is willing to sign. The trouble is that there are a, lot of boxers who could give Welsh a better argument than Beecher and the fans would probably prefer a more even- 1y matched pair.
 They say that Lowell and Man chester. are likely to drop out of the New England league today. The stands in Lowell burned last year and the owners don't feel like spend ing money to oarebuild.
 Jim Clarkin would be pleasing the majority of Eastern nnagnates if he close q his park as he threatens to do. It is the opinion of fans in this city that the league would be better of without men like Clarkin who devote StI cir time to league politics instead of baseball.
 A great effort is being made by Class A. A. leagues to have the draft removed. Leagues like the Amert- can association and International, which have been hurt by the F'eder- a1s, think it would give them the Standing of major league if they were not subject to draft.

Hamilton is right, the Browns want to keep him and if he isn't they don't want to palm him off on their url-' suspecttng fellow magnates.
 Manager Clark Griffith of Wash. ington is claiming the pennant in ac- cordance with his usual winter lcus- tom. He thinks that with Walter Johnson back in the fold there will be nothing to it but the Senators he did last year to win any pen nants.

 Tony Lucas, manager of the John s is a. great help to the leagueS He shows up each night with different lineup. This is the very best any manager in his position could do and Tony is deserving of great praise for continuing his team in the league players on the John's roster in Kochiss, Pete and Hennie Pulaskie. If they could only play steadily the Johns would no doubt have diff ferent place in the league standing.
 The work of the "Jinx.' boys in the second half Monday was indeed sem sationaI and greatly surprised the followers of the team. At the end of the first half they were leading by the small score of 16 to Il and things looked anything but prosperous for the boys from s.JinxvilIe'' when the half ended. When the boys took the floor at the start of the second half they looked like an entirely new quintet. They imm ediateIy swooped down on St. Mary's and dropped the ball into the opposition's netting as fast as the scorer could register them. If they show the same class tomorrow night they will be tied for first place. The work of Christy and Horkhefmer certainly deserves men ton.
