mark on the forthcoming handicap list
of the Massachusetts, Golf Association.
and there has been deal of specula-
tion as to how he would he handi-
capped. 1t was not until a few days
ago. however, that Handicapper Ar
thur C. Lockwood decided that the
position for Ouimet ought to be plus 5,
and, while Lockwood's rating must he
passed on by the committee. there is
no doubt of the fact that the NJ. q. A.
executives will be sharply I'm accord
with the views of Lockwood
1t will be a distinction that has come

On top Of Ray Bronsons re-entry into
the arena comes a letter from Kid Graves
regarding his claim to the title He says ::
According to the stories in the eastern
press Packey Mcfarland is coming back
and will try to duplicate Bob Fitzsim-
mons feat of winning three titles. He

middleweight crowns. There was time
when, would gladly have relinquished

Jack Britton, too. as the latter gave the

WANT STAR PLAYERS
Herzog, Bresnahan and Hug
gins Ready for Trades.

NEW YORK. February S.-With re-
ports that Roger Bresnahan. Charles
Herzog and Miller Higgins, three club
managers. were on their way to New
York the National League meeting here
tomorrow promises to be overshadowed
by an auction market for players.
Manager Bresnahan, according to re-
ports. wants an inflelder and an out
fielder. Huggins- and Herzog, reports
have it, are in the market for pitchers
and f1elders who are known as hitters.
The chief business arranged for the
consideration of the club owners in
cludes rules to rescind the twenty-one
players limit, rule to abolish the March
l training camp law and a decision
about exempting the Class AA from
draft, the adoption of playing sched-
ule for next season and a thorough dis
cussion as to the probable dissolution
of the national commission which is
being advocated now.
May Rescind Player Limit.
There seems little doubt that the
playerlimit rule. recently adopted by
the league, will be rescinded.. Also the
restriction on training probably will be
lifted. as the American League refused
to place any ban on this expense.
John K. Tener. president Of the
league. probably will be given the right
to act with President johnson of the
American League in the question Of ex-
empting from draft all Class AA
leagues.
Adopting the schedule Will be only 4
matter OF form as the dates already
have been arranged.

PAT POWERS OBTAINS
A FEDERAL FRANCHISE

NEW YORK, February S.-Pat L.

clared officially that he has purchased
the Kansas City franchise of the Fed
era League, which will be moved east
in time to operate at the beginning of
the season either in the environs Of
New York or to Jersey City.
Further than the bare admission of
fact, Mr Powers did not appear. in

full particulars would be announced

directly on the tube system between

that Vice President Robert B. Ward
and President James A. Gilmore OF the
Federal League favor an invasion Of
the Bronx.
A secret meeting of the eastern club
owners of the Federal League was held
In this city Saturday, when the trans
fer is supposed to have been made.
James A. Gilmore represented the own
ers of the Kansas City franchise. The
price is said to have been $4,000. Yes

Powers, eastern representatives OF the
independents, held secret conference
at the Biltmore Hotel, but the parties
in question refused point blank to
discuss the nature Of the business.
Assured of Financial Support.
According to Jersey City friends. of
Mr.. Powers. the former president of the
Eastern League, who is to serve as
executive of the new eastern club. was
assured the financial support necessary
to swing the deal by certain business
men of Newark and Jersey City. The
names of these men have not yet been
disclosed. J. j. Eillis. former presi-
dent of the Jersey City International
League club. Is reported to. be in on
the deal. The name of William S.
Devery, majority stocilhoider of. the
Skeerers, has also. been associated
through gossip with the enterprise.
1t is believed that the selection of a
home for the Kansas City club Will de-
psnd largely upon the success OF Ed
Rarrov-,s effort to establish a transfer
Of the Jersey City International club to
the Bronx. Billy Gibson and other
Bronx business men are anxious to
purchase Devery's stock in the Skeeters

organized club there, Barrow argues,
