HALTs FEDERAL SHIFT.
Court Restraints League From Trans.
ferring Kansas City Club to Newark.

CHICAGO, February 26.-An injunction
issued by the circuit court late yesterday
will halt temporarily the transfer of the
Kansas City Federal League franchise
to p T Powers Of New York. which
was expected to be effected at the meet
ing Of the league in Buffalo today.
The injunction was issued after the
Kansas City club had filed suit to re-
strain the Federal League of Professional
Base Ball Clubs from transferring the
franchise to another party. The writ Of
injunction was served on James A. Gill
more, president of the Federals, last
night, just as he was boarding train for
the Buffalo meeting.
The bill recites that under the franchise
given by the defendant league February
90, 1914, it was understood that the KAN
sas City club could operate permanently
as member of the league. and that con-
sequently the club had assumed great
many obligations.
The bill states that although the club
has repeatedly asked the league for a
statement of its account being ready to
pay any just claims, the league has re-
fused any such statement. although con-
tinuing to claim a balance due from the
club.
The suit was set for a hearing March
5. A full accounting of the inside affairs
Of the Federal League, its expenses. its
income and its losses. probably will be
made at the hearing, according to counsel
for the Kansas City club.
D. ]. Half and Solon T. Gilmore, the
Kansas City delegation, who spent the
day here in an effort to dissuade Federal
League officials from transferring the
franchise, left for Buffalo as soon as the
suit was filed. They will attend the
league meeting and make further ef
fort to retain the franchise.

The Injunction is sure to delay tne
arrangement of the Federal League cir

Connie Mack has found it necessary
to make a change in the captaincy OF
his team. The regime of Ira Thomas

favor of the players, and in certain
quarters he was actually despised.

that the crowd began to hoot. Welsh
timed his blows carefully and drove
them in almost without return. White
landed a clean hard left to the body
in the eighth round.
White made desperate attempt to
even matters in the ninth round and
came out of his corner with a rush.
swinging both hands. He landed sew
eral times. but his punches apparently
did not serve to slow the champion, al
though his aggressiveness gave him a
shade the better of the session, in the
opinion of experts.
He continued his rushing tactics in
the final round, and Welsh met him toe
to toe. The champion seemed somewhat
tired, but his superior cleverness saved
him from any serious punishment
while missing repeatedly.

Welsh's Left Jab Has Terrors.

In the earlier rounds Welsh set a
brisk pace, but found White willing to
mix with him at all times. White wait
ed carefully for openings. in the evil
dent hope of shooting in the short left
hook for which he is famous, but the
champions shifty footwork and clever
blocking made many of his efforts of
no avail. White seemed more confident
than in their former meeting, and the
first two rounds seemed to the specta-
tors to be fairly even.
Welsh's fast left jab did excellent
execution in the third round and fairly
smothered the Chicagoan. who fought
back wildly. Freddie landed half a
dozen punches to Charley's face with
out return. A wild swing of the chal-
lenger accidentally landed low, but ap-
parently did no damage to Welsh.
Whites seconds urged him to mix. but
his rushes in most cases were avoided
or characterized by the left jab. Fred
die danced around the challenger, land
ing almost at will in the fifth and sixth
rounds. He used a hard right swing to
Charles head and landed it frequent
ly. White continually tried to whip in
his left to the jaw. but Welsh was too
shifty to be caught.
