NUMBERING OF PLAYERS

Boston. Feb. 9-The hearts of football fandom beat faster, and the ayes of football fandom frightened with the realization of a we1l-deserv- ed victory when in glancIng over the reports of the. doings. of the pigslin moguls at the annual meeting of the football rules committees, the folfow- Ing was noted:

St. Johns vs. St. Charles.


 This was another, rip shorter of a game being anybody's until the last man was out. The St. Charles were the luckiest team in the league. that they ever won that game. The re- juvenated Johns gave them the fight of their lives. With the score at. 22 to 21 in the Johns favor and only two minutes left to play, Dunnigan of the ssBraves', tossed what proved to be the winning basket.
 The Charles were then all in and orders were passed around to stall the two minutes left. This was done and it was good thing for the home team as the Johns were playing rings around them at the finish. But at that 1t is about time that the luck after losing all their games by one basket it wouldn't seem fair if they got trimmed last night by one basket. Even if they did get defeated, the worse would be yet to come when they realized that they had lost two games to the Johns, the only two that the latter would have won so far.
 Nolan of the Braves played a star individual game and was all over the floor, caging five baskets. Han bury played the bets of his career caging three baskets from difficult angles Horkhiermer was not or deck on account of a previous engage ment while Capt.

WARDS OWN
 KANSAS CITY
 PLAYERS NOW

New York, Feb. 9-It was learned yesterday that the real packers of the Kansas City franchise, which has been transferred to Newark, are the Wards, owners of the Brooklyn Club of the Federal League. The conflicting stories of President Gilmore and the Directors of the Kansas City Club were. due to the fact, it is. stated, that, on account of the financial assistance which the Wards gave Kansas City last year, they practically possessed control of the franchise. and. the ~ap= proval of the Kansas City directors was not necessary.
 It was announced- yesterday blythe Eastern representative of the Fed eraI League that the Kansas City franchise positively had been trans ferred to Newark, President Gilmore made a~hurried trip to this city late on Sunday afternoon and had Q con ference with Robert Ward, Vice Pres ident of the league, at the Hotel Biltmore. At that time it was decid- ed that the Kansas City Club should come to Newark.
 While it is announced here that those behind the new club in New ark will be Pat Powers, formerly President of the Eastern League be- fore it became the International: J. J. Ili1lis. and "a Western oil man, it IS Stdleds OH SOOu dulA1O4 AIS sAAe1I Ae IS because the Kansas City Club lost heavily last year and has been unable to meet it's obligations with the Wards that the change was made.
 Powers and Li1lis are experienced baseball men, and it is believed they will have actual charge of the club, but that the Wards will finance it. The signing of Ed Reulbach, recently released by Brooklyn is taken as an indication that he will be the man ager in Newark. It is said that Pow CTS and Lillis have options on sew era1 sites in Newark proper and one in Harrison.

 ANXIOUS TO
 SECURE MANN

St. Louis. Feb. Eff Leslie Mann will delay his contemplated jump ito the Feds until he hears from Presi- dent Britton of the Cardinals he may receive a more flattering offer to re- main in Organized Baseball than the offer which tempted him to consider 9. jump to the Gilmore circuit. This is the substances of what President Britton yesterday had to say in re- gard to the Braves outfie1der, who would undoubtedly prove a very wei come addition to the HugginS outfit.
 Britton and Higgins are anxious to obtain an outfie1der of Mann's calf bre for the Cardinals, and they will bid mighty high for his services if he has. not already signed a Federal League contract.

MANN AND WHALING
 ONLY MEMBERS OF
 BRAVES UNSIGNED

Boston, Feb s-AAI1 of the mem bers of the champion Braves have signed up for the season of 1913 with the exception of Leslie Mann and Bert Whaling. Mann is still consider ing the proposition President Calf ney made him several weeks ago, and as the Federal League clubs are not falling over themselves, as Mann ex- pected they would, it is very likely he will sign mp when he finds he has no place to play.
 Whaling is not considered in the holdout class Secretary Herman Nickerson sent the big moose a contract to Los Angeles, Gal, and it is possible that he is away from home, so that, the failure to receive his signed contract here has no aig- nificance- Whaling appeared satis- fled with the existing conditions and undoubtedly will sign the contract
 Otto Hess, the big southpaw pitch CT, and who can play fine game at first base, and who is among the heavy hitting pitchers of the major leagues, has signed for this summer.

RIBBONS WIN AND EXPECT TO REPEAT
 VICTORY TONIGHT

It looked for a time as if the Blue Ribbons would meet defeat in Nor walk last night in the game with the Norwa1k five but in the last few min utes of play the Ribbons staged rAl- 1y which gave them the victory by 31 to 21. This gave them two victories in the series to one for Norwa.lk.
 Norwalk wasn't so successful at throwing goals but Beggane was a wonder, at tossing them from the fou1 line and he put nine over with the result that Norwalk led by. II to T at the end of the first half. Although the Ribbons tried hard their Aoppon- ents managed to keep 8 few points ahead and the rooters were yelling loudly for victory.
 Capt Beckman hadn't been doing IT ucl, but realizing the situation was desperate the captain cut loose and hurled seven goals in Succession while the crowd. groaned. Eddie Leonard was in fine form form t11e Ribbons. He rang up four goals and was fine on floor work. Jimmy Clinton was so closely guarded that he didn't score often but managed to drop three in from the foul line. Roach and Swenson were strong on defense.
 Big George Smith of NorwaIk was carefully watched and scored only one basket. Smolick of the Knfckerbock7 CTS did we'll at forward for Norwalk. Tonight at Colonial hall, the fourth game in the series will be played. The Ribbons are anxious to win again in ordersto clean up the series as quickly as possible but the Norwalk boys ] threaten to bring another star player from New York There will be a pre- | linninary between the Boys's club and lNAIf-Stars and the usual dancing will be enjoyed.

BRONX MAY
 HAVE JERSEY CITY FRANCHISE E

New York. Feb. hen the Ma tiona1 league club owners gathered at the Waldorf-Astoria today. one of the most important questions to decide was whether they will give permission to the International league to locate the Jersey club in the Bronx Presi- dent Edward G. Barrow has made a. request to this effect, and yesterday he had long talk with President H. N. Hampstead of the Giants, whose permission must first be obtained be- fore the minor league will be permit , ted to invade New York territory.
 President Hampstead gave no de- cision in answer to the request, but the matter will be decided today by the league There is sure to be some objection to the scheme, as it will be of very experimental nature It will be difficult thing to build up a. fol- lowing for minor league team in a city which has always been served with the major league article of base ball.
 The International league people be- Ieve that by placing a club in the Bronx two objects will be served. It will save the Jersey City team from Q nembarrassing situation and it will also bring about the invasion of the Bronx territory before the Federal league has a chance to settle up there. The International league is just now going through a trying period, and if | it can be shown that the move to transfer the Jersey City club will be of any benefit to the Internationals, the National league may give it's ap- proval.
 The question has also been put up to the new owners of the Yankee club but no action will be taken by the Yankees or the American league until it is known what the National league is going to do.

 The Hearts won as was expected by their rabid followers. Hurley was among the missing and that no doubt accounts for the walkaway score piled up by the Hearts. Whelan and Snyder of the St. Mary's played their usual stellar games but were severely handicapped by the loss of Hurley. As for the rest of the team, with the pos sib1e exception of Dunn, they were useless. The Hearts are a very fast .set5sof players and the winner of the league bunting will have to contend with them until the. last night of the league schedule.

It was expected that President Gilmore of the outlaws would come at the latter part of the week to consult with the promoters but the report is that he has decided not to. The promoters have been un- able to show the financial backing they promised and as the Federals re- fused to furnish money for the league the proposition is beginning to lan- guish.
