JESS WILLARD WILLING
TO GO ON TO HAVANA
His Manager Raves at Idea, But
White Hope Seems to Do
as He Pleases.

EI pASO Tex March 6..Although
Manager Tom Jones insists that ne
will not allow Jess Willard to box
Lack Johnson anywhere but in JuareZ.
il is believed here that he is preparing
TO pull stakes and hike for Havana
with his white hope. Jones has done
so much talking here-usually IN
loud tone, which he employs evidently
with the idea that vehemence carries
conviction with it-that little atten-
ton is paid to his vocal efforts.
Jones did considerable stormlng and
snarling last night, telling Just what
Willard would and would not do. The
fighter himself talks but little. and
then in a mild tone of voice. He said.
for instance, that he would fight john
son anywhere at any time, and was
quite responsive to March 81 as ten
tatiye Havana date suggested by Pro-
moter Jack Curley in cable received
yesterday.
Jones insisted that willard would
STAY right here and continue light
training. Nevertheless Willard left for
Los Angeles yesterday afternoon to
spend Sunday on the coast, where his
wife and kiddies are now located. Los
Angeles being as near nome as he
has less says he had hankering to
90 ont and spend the day with his
friends in California. BE right back,
he said, as he swung on the limited.
All of which makes it appear that
willard will do about as he pleases.

will have a big squad at Baltimore In

of winning in their class at the Penn

be represented in the outdoor meets
for the first time in quite while

Georgetown. However. the Hatchetites
will have two or three men wearing
their colors who have chance to win

it will do much else this year.

CURTAIN FOR BAKER DREAM.
Mack Refuses to Part With Frank
Under AnY Consideration.

SAVANNAH, Ga, March Capt Til
Huston got back yesterday from Jack
sonville to his worries over base ball
and golf. The captain has decided to
shake at least one-half of his troubles
he will specialize on the golf the rest
of the month. Capt. Huston declared
that absolutely no progress had been
made by New York toward obtaining
Frank Baker.
Il went to Jacksonville on business. :
he said. Il saw Connie Mack for a
short time just before ! took the train
back. He told me that Baker would
play In Philadelphia or nowhere. He
seemed very positive, and under the
circumstances did not further discuss
the matter.
IF Col. Rupert offered $4,000 for
Baker | have not been apprised Of the
fact From the way Mack talks. no
amount Of money could tempt him. 1
think we should go. as high as any
body; but If. we should obtain Baker it

JIM GILM0RE'S RETORT.
Tells Gaffney It's Time His Fellows
Respect Binding Contracts.

NEW YORK. March 6-President
James L. Gaffney of the Boston Braves
yesterday announced that he and Pres
ldent James A. Gilmore of the Federal
Base Ball League had exchanged tele-
grams relative to the much discussed
case of Bill James. the famous twirl-
err of the Braves. 1t was explained
that James, Boston hold-o has been
negotiating with Federal League mag
mates with view of signing with that
league.
Angered by these reports, President
Gaffney sent a telegram TO President
Gilmore saying that he had legal con-
tract. binding in every way, for three
years on James services, and protest
ing against so-called flirting with the
pitcher by the opposition league. In
reply President Gaffney received the
following telegram:
Our policy is still unchanged re-
sarding players under binding con-
tracts. such as You say James has with
you. 1t is about time your associates
We're respecting similar contracts which
we possess
Evening star., 1915-03-06

There has been tendency on the
part of quite a number of players who
jumped to return to the organized fold.
Six or seven lately have made the leap,
and the Feds are worried about 1t, for
there is danger that others may fol-
low before the season opens. The con-
tention of organized base ball that it's
new contract containing the option
clause is valid seems to be substan-
tiated, for several of the players who
have. returned from the Feds did SO
only after consulting attorneys, who
seem to have been unanimous in their
opinion that organized base ball could
hold the players to their contracts.
The only concession that the New
York American League club procured
from Connie Mack with reference to
obtaining Frank Baker was that Mack
promised Capt. Huston that II he de-
cided to let Baker go he would accept
the New York offer.
But there is no reason for believing
that Baker will not report to Mack
He is tied up to an iron-clad contract,
and while he may not be getting what
he is worth, he nevertheless will have
to play for Mack or not at all, and ne
is not apt to remain idle very long,
once the pay days start to roll around.
There does not appear to be chance
for Pitcher Bill James of the Braves to
better himself by jumping to the Feds
Owner Gaffney of the champions has
notified the Federal League that James
has a contract with his club which still
has two years to run, and that any
dickering with the player would result
in damage suit.
Realizing the seriousness of such an
offense President Gilmore of the Feds
has wired Gaffney assurance that his
contract will be respected, SO that
Evening star., 1915-03-06

James will very likely report to Man
ager Stal1ings ere long.
The fact that the present incIement
weather has put stop to the advance
squads outdoor training at Charlottes-
Vile does not handicap these play
any more than if they had gone farther
south All the clubs which are train
ing in the far south were forced to lay
off day or two this week because of
the weather. That is to be expected at
this season of the year, and the chances
are that when the clearing comes a
gurated.
The Feds are said to be after Joe Jack
son, the Cleveland sIugger. who says he
has been offered $45,000 for three years
by the outlaws. Just what the arrange
ment between Jackson and the Cleveland
club is has not been made clear, but it
is understood that he signed an option
clause last season. in which event he is
sure not to be able to accept the Fed
attraction for the Feds, for in that cir
cult he would probably break all bat
ting records. When fellows like Frank
Laporte can hit BIZ in that company
Jackson would be pretty sure to break
all marks in batting.
Big Ed Walsh took his first real work
out against the San Francisco team yes
terday, and he was numerically pounded
Walsh seems to have seen his last pitch
ing days. He indicated last season that
he no longer had the stuff with which to
fool batsmen, and the winters rest does
not seem to have brought about a change
in his pitching arm. Walsh in his day
did wonders for his team. and in APP
probation of that service Comiskey may
carry him along in some capacity or
other. even if he demonstrates that he
cannot hold his own as pitcher. Walsh
was overworked when he was in his
prime. This shortened his career.
