marked Fly Brewer, the Eastern repre- sentative of the Gilmore circuit yes terdaX. He referred to the case of Frank O. Rourke, who had Topped from the Newark Feds.
 T can see that Organized Baseball is presurning too much on the good na- ture of the Federal league. President Gilmore, in the case of Bill James, showed that he was enforcing the res olution of the executive committee not to harbor any contract jumpers. They are taking advantage of the situation, but if this thing goes too far, believe me, there is going to be some fun.''s
 ORourke broke into baseball with Gene McCann in Bridgeport in 1912. He made. such a fine showing that he was sold to the Boston Nationals in midseason for 5000. Later on account of weak hitting he was sent to the mi nors- Since joining WiIkes-Barre he has become 9 good hitter. He played with the Remington-Yo Yost football team in Bridgeport last season.

BILL SWEENEY SAYS
 HE'S DUE FOR GREAT
 Y TEAR WITH RED SOX


 Hot Springs, Ark, March 1o-Bill Sweeney, the veteran recently releas- ed by the Chicago Cubs expects to have good year with the Boston Red Sox this season.
 Sweeney did not dress yesterday It was his plan to get into harness and follow his leader, but the long run down from Cincinnati had tired him out and it finally figured that he would be in better shape after a good nignt. s rest
 Bill is delighted at being with a Boston team again and. especially with the one that Carrigan commands. There may be a few peolle, prfnci- paIly out Chicago way, that figure I am all in,s says Sweeney, ssbut I'll give them something else to think k about by the time that the season opens sos
 sT have not slowed up appreciably. I think. and my batting eye is not gone I was off a. bit last year. I win admit but that is liable to happen to any one and believe that under diff ferent auspices I will come back strong. At any rate if I do not make good from the jump with the Red 6ox, I am wiling to abandon ball play ing for good and all. My relatives have been agaiust my returning to the game, but I am back here this spring just to prove to certain parties that I have not finished my big league ca reer.''

It developed yesterday that Frankie had torn up the contract he signed with Powers and had gone to Wilkes- barre where he twill see President Noonar about being sold to the Chd- cago Nationals.
 In the meantime Pat Powers is anx- iousS to know what's going to happen to that advance money he gave IO'Rourke. He said yesterday that he didn't care so much about Frank, but he wanted that money. I'm glad he jumped ,'' said Pat. Any playerE who will jump an iron-bound contract, such as he signed with me would throw a ball game. s-

AL REICH OUT WITH CHAI.IsENGETO TO COFFEY

Al Reich, the former amateur champion heavyweight, has been keeping under, cover recently but he finally decided to come out in the open with a large challenge.
 Reich's manager, Max Blumenthal, for many years one of the best known layers on the New York racetracks, sends the following business-hke let ter to the Sporting Editor of The Evening Sun:-
 stThe effort which has been made to establish Al Reich. as a rightfuI claim ant to championship honors. has, I be- heve, been misunderstood by the pub lie We have not wanted to force our way into print, but now, because I believe that Reich is not getting a square deal, II have determined to make our claims in the most straight forward manner.
 There is one man whom, above all others, Reich. desires to fight-that is Coffey. We have made many de- rnands to match Reich against Cof- fey and on every occasion Jim has sidesteeped. His manager, nay friend Billy Gibson, tells me that CoffeY does not want to fight Reich because he disHkes him. Coffey's dislikes is the result Of Reich's assertion that he 6Coffey1 is not a good fighter. At that I guess Coffey likes Reich as well as the latter likes Coffey. If they meet in the ring one of them will like the other less than he does now :,

BILL JAMES GETS
 COLD GREETING IN
 BOSTON BRAVE CAMP

Macon, March 10--With a blare of Tumpets and the fatted calf con- spicuous by it's absence. 215 pounds of Bill Jam es, the absentee hitherto, blew into the camp of the worlds champs shortly after noon yesterday. From Chicago came William with all fog removed from his mind as to what his intentions would be. He will go right ahead and deliver the horse hide up to opposing batters the com ing National league season as one Of the Braves That and nothing more or less.
 Some time after James had joined the crew at the Dempsey he was giv- en the grace of an interview with Boss Stallings. It was not very lengthy. James just told his comman- der that he realized his contract was binding and that he would go through without any further demur.
 Thus concludes a none too hefty morsel of business that was mostly smoke and with the fire close to bes ing dampened from the start.
 It is Williams task to get out with his brethren and hustle consi derably to overcome the handicap imposed by his delay in arriving. He will make his training debut tomorrow morn ing, having decided he was hardly fit for the breaking into action after his 3O-hour ride from Chicago, even though he was on hand in plenty of time.

 It Is expected. however, that Capt. Huston will back up Donovan in re- gard to McHa1e's contract, and Marty will have to sign at the figures first of fered or not play at all.
 Another arrival in camp was Paddy Baunann, formerly of the Tigers, who may gain a regular place on the Van kee infieId through his ability to wie1d the stick to better advantage than either Boone or Truesdale. Baumann worked out, but did not exert himself to any extent

DOWN TO
 WEIGHT FOR BOUT WITH CHAMP VEL LSH

New York, March 10.-After his final boxing with Benny Leonard and Harlem Patsy Kline. yesterday after noon, Willie Rdtchie weighed in at 135 pounds, the weight he is to make for Freddie Welsh for their bout in the Garden tomorrow night. Three rounds each with the above mentioned boys at lightning speed impressed the large gathering at Ritchie's training camp. Ritchie showed up better than at any time since he started trainings his Judgment Of distance being excep- tionally good.
 Ritchie will spar four rounds in his dressing room before going into the ring tomorrow. He is a slow beginner in the ring and the spar ring bout should enable him to start off at top speed when the first bell sends the men on their way, Ritchie believes.~
 Welsh put in. another heavy day at his Oceanporta camp, where he boxed nine rounds. Welsh is only half a pound above the 1s5-pound mark and will come to New York, Thursday morning. below that weight after drying out. zaEes t

CROSS
 WINNER OVER
 HARRY PIERCE


 New york. March 10.r-44each Cross the fighting East Side dentist, won from Harry Pierce of Brooklyn on points in their ten-round bout at the Broadway Sporting club last night. Cross weigh ing I8s5z pounds had six andza- half pounds advantage on the Brooklylt boy. There was a, lot of clever box ing during the ten rounds buts there was little fast action. HoweVer, when the two boxers did mix things up it was give and take, with neither one giving much ground.
 Leach was very cautious, and It was only i'll the third and tenth rounds that he 1noInentari1y put on all steam and went after his opponent On both these occsions it was Pferce's fierce attack which caused Leach to let out.
 Pierce, who boxed Cross to a draw in their last bout. has an alright de- fense, and it was seldom that Cross pierced it with telling effect. The dentist had a fast felt-hand js.b which he used to good advantage Both boxers were wild with their swings and several times nearly lost their balance when terrific swings failed to reach their mark. Neither boxer was in distress during the bout. and both ffnisAe osstreng-

won the toss. and Sullivan had to face the wind and sun. Jake Kill rain was in Mitche11's. corner. and G. B. Angle was the referee.
 Mitchell looked like an Achilles, an almost perfect example of manly wig or, grace and strength, as he faced his burly antagonist. His figure pos sessed symmetrical beauty, lacking in John LIS coarser body.
 Sullivan knocked Mitchell down in the first round, and repeated in the second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth Then Charlie began to get in his work, and Su1lfvan's right eye was black ened, his lips swollen, and blood trickIed from his nose and lips. Snail- ing and laughing, Mitchell continued to hammer the big fellow and at the expiration of three hours Sullivan be- gan to look like a beaten man. Char lie was pretty well frazz1ed. however, and when Johns packers made over lures to him to call it a. draEvs the Englishn1an consented.
