NEWARK MAY BE DROPPED.

NEW YORK, May 2s.-Strong rivalry
on the part of the Federal League with
the International League club in New
ark. has led to many reports recently
that Newark was to be dropped from
the international League circuit and the
team transferred to some Connecticut
city. The reports were revived yester-
day with Bridgeport given as the city
likely to get the club.
Inquiries in Newark and of Interna.
tional League officials failed to reveal
any present basis for the rumors. but in
other quarters usually well-informed it
was predicted that an international
League circuit change was not unlikely
later in the season.

, ton voluntarily. He prObObly figured
that his showing with the Giants in
1914 was poor and that Ward might
not want him.
SWard asked Marquard if he wasn't
under contract with the Giants for 1915.
Marquard answered:
No, my contract expired this fall.
I can't come to terms with the Giants
for 1915 and 1 would like to sign up
with you
Ward then told MarqUard to go out,
think it over for a few days and il he
still wanted to sign. to bring in an af-
fidavit to the effect that he was not
legally under contract to the Giants.
"Marquard came back a few days
later, produced the affidavit, asked for
$500 advance money, got it and then
signed a contract with the Brooklyn
Federals.'
And now we ask our author-ban
player-in face of these facts do you
still think Marquard was induced?
Feds Help Ty Cobb.
Cobb ought to be the last person to
heave rocks on the Feds. They did
more for him than anyone else ever did
or ever will do. They got a $4,000 boost
in salary for him.
When the Feds learned early in 1914
that Tvs contract with the Detroit
Tigers had expired they made him big
offer Ty, according to all reports at
the time, gave that offer serious con-
sideratiOn. The Detroit owners heard
about it and awOke to the fact that
it was in danger of losing the greatest
drawing card in organized baseball.
The Detroit club at once met the Fed
eral leagues offer and Ty remained
faithful"
Cobb is a wonderful ball player, but
il is a 1000 to ] shot that if it hadn't
been for the Feds the Detroit owners
never would have given Cobb that big
boost in salary even though he is worth
$4,000 a year more.
If the Feds hadn't given Ty that
bludgeon the Tiger owners would have
done to Ty what organized moguls al
ways did to ball players, before the
Feds came along-Offer him any old
salary they chose to give him, putting
it up to him to accept it or get out Of
baseball altogether.

FOSTER BOWLERS
DEFEAT HOURSTONS
Win Three Out of -Four Points in smelter
League Match; Bateman Team
Wins From AbbOtts.

The Shelter Bowling league holds its
weekly session on the Cactus club alleys
Thursday night and in the first match the
Foster team took three of the four points
from the tail-end HOurstOn crowd. In the
second game the Bateman Dowlers, who arc
the runners-up in the league, We're victori-
Gus over the leading AbbOtts by the same
score In the second match the Bateman
team did exactly as it has done on nUmcI-
Gus occasions against the Abbott team. In
a two team tournament the Bateman five
would be almost certain to win over the
AbbOtts. But the AbbOtts manage to hold
their lead because they have more success
against the other two teams than the Fate
mans do. The victory of the Foster team
in the first game was due, to a large eX-
tent, to the fine bowling Of the anchor man,
Fenner who had both high game and nigh
total for the match. His high game was
1SS, and high total $40, the latter nearly 100
pins ahead Of any other man on his team
and 40 more than the high man the
HourstOn team made.
In the second match the Abbott team did
not have man to reach the 500 mark,
although Abbott himself came within one
of it. On the other hand. three Of the BaIe-
man team were well over the 500 mark.
Capt. Bateman did the best bowling. He
had both high game and high total for the
night His high game was 2O5 and high
total 545. Morgan scored a strikeOut
Tonight the smelter departments will
bowl in the special smelter tournament. The
scores Thursday night and the standing Of
the teams to date are follows:

SAN JACINTO-VILAS
TEAMS PLAY TO TIE

San JacIntO and Villas teams in the Senior
Soccer league, contesting for the Ell Paso
Herald championship banner. played a tie
game at the Villas grounds Thursday after
noon. Each team scored one goal The
game was one Of the most poorly played OF
the year, with one or two redeeming fea-
lures to keep up interest. Both teams were
shy five Of their best players A rule made
some time ago would not permit them to
use players from the Junior team and as
result they were compelled to fill in with
boys who have never played before. Con
zalo Corderro was by far the best player on
the field. Not only did he put up a splen-
did game both on the offence and defence,
but his speed enabled him to outdistance
all players on the field in following the
ball. His interfering and dribbling also
were very good. Ralph Carberry kicked
San Jacinto's goal Half a dozen Villas
players were in front of the goal at the
time, but with splendid placement Ralph
shot the ball in at the only vacant spot
Park Bishop kicked the goal for Alta Vista.
He played a good game in all departments
but was not the equal Of CorderrO.
