BUFFALO, Feb. 16.-Almost every
one holding an official position con-
nected with the Federal League and its
eight clubs answered the roll call to-
day when the Feds went into session
in q meeting that is the most impor-
tant ever held by the Junior baseball
ORGANISATION.
President James A. Gilmore will pre-

eight managers.

alton. as 1t concerns our league, IRON

discussed and 1t Is likely that as a
result of this general meeting some
new rules will be drafted and some OF
the old ones dropped.

spirit to be the keynote of our organ

things that could happen for our
league.
"Explicit instructions will be given
to the managers to make the men play
baseball this summer-and play 1t to
the limit Of their ability. Last year
because OF the feeling of uncertainty
as to our future in some quarters
there was a disposition on the part
Of the players to do bit of loafing

benefit Of the fans the very best base

FOUR BIG CHANGES

forms His Candidates Only
Merit Will Land Job.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 36.-When Branch
Hickey brings his Brownies back from
Houston, Tex. to Sportsmens Park the
baseball fans may see an entirely new
lineup. Branch believes that to be sue
cessful the players must hustle and be
on the jump continually. For that iea-
son he has informed his brief squad at
Houston that no one is certain of his
Job unless he. proves better than the
other fellow.
Here's a sample of the lineup Hickey
is going to try out:
Pratt on first base.
Shotten. on second base.
Clarence Walker in center.
Jack Ieary behind the bat.
| Branch tells Staff Writer Lloyd that
competition Is the life of trade and he
intends to have the Brownies on the
jump in every one of the coming l54
games.
And the boys Cannot loaf during the
visit in Houston. While the Brownies
already know that poker, dice. and
gambling are barred. Branch's first new
rule was an order to be at the break

Carrigan Schemes to Do
AwQy With Rain Checks

granolithic sidewalks. Bill figures that
such burner run UP and down the
base lines after the rain has ceased to
fall would accomplish what the ground
keepers and their STAFF have been un-
able to effect in the past; and II the
ccssory will be added to all major
league paraphernalia for the season Of
1915.
The base lines suffer most during a
rainstorm. The pitchers box and the
infield are covered by canvas and pro-
tected to a certain extent. but 1t takes
thoroughly food the base lines; and In

Carrigan figures that by sprinkling

Carrigan Is also considering the intro

Giant TWirlers Let
Their Speed Be Seen

MARLIN. Tex. Feb. 2S.-The party OF
young baseball players who are here
with Dick Kinsella put in three hours
yesterday enjoying themselves at the
ball park, the fine weather which has
prevailed all week contributing to their
enjoyment. Except that the pitchers
let out more the work wasn't as vigor-
Gus as YESTERDAY. 1t lasted fully as
long but the squad of seventeen on the
whole were feeling the effects OF previ-
GUS days practice and hadn't quite the
zeal of the first three days.
A squad of pitchers. composed OF
Glass. Gipe. Flanagan and Erickson
warmed up together and uncovered
more speed than has been seen since
the preparation began. They worked
up to speed gradually and then didn
stay at 1t long. Good judgment in max
ing haste slow in getting into cShdi
ton has been shown by most Of tn
youngsters In camp and such soreness
as there Is Is Of the natural kind.
