AFFIDAVIT EXONERATES
ARDMORE CLUB OFFICIALS

To back up the claim of the promoters
of the Ardmore Athletic Club that they
were not aware that Ferguson was sub
stituted for Tommy Langdon, an aft
davit from James Feeney, the manager
of the two fighters from Philadelphia,
is being circulated. The following is
Feeney's sworn statement:
Washington, D. c., Feb. IS, 1915.
To whom it may concern: In justice to
the promoters of the Ardmore Club and
to the public l feel it my duty as the
one person who knows the absolute
facts about the substituting of Danny
Ferguson for Tommy" Langdon at the
Ardinore Club Monday, February o.,
1915, to state that the club officials
were in no way responsible for tine
substitution" were not informed by
us and were positively ignorant of the
fact until after the members were
gone and the boxers had received their
commission, which was at least three
quarters of an hour after the bout was
over.
Friday. February 10. about PM,
received wire from Elmer Wilson
from Washington. u. c., who was rep
resenting Tommy Langdon in that
city, asking me to send him boy to
take Langdon's place. l had informed
Wilson Friday morning that LanGdon
j
would be impossible for him tLangdon)
to appear. l therefore wired Danny"
Ferguson to meet me in Philadelphia,
which he did, and i brought him to
Washington. We met Wilson at the
Hotel Terminal and he Immediately
took up to Benning and told US to
keep the matter quiet about this boy
not being Langdon. as he thought that
no one here knew him by sight and
that he wanted to save his forfeit
money. We worked Ferguson out at
the track and got him to the required
weight and he weighed in al 1873 at noon
Monday. We were purposely late on
arriving at the club, for fear that some
one would recognize Ferguson. but we
got the boy in the ring and worked
him to the entire satisfaction of the
club members and were not recognized
until after we had gotten our commits
sion. However. this boy Ferguson put
up a great fight. and l think he is enti-
tied to a bout with Lowe or any other
good boy at his weight.

DUE TO OPEN

Plan to Start April 10, But In
junction Holds Up Adoption Of
Schedule.

BUFFALO,. February 21.-The selec-
ton of April 10 as the opening date of
the Federal League playing season,
four days in advance of the first games
in the two major leagues. and the rec
ommendation by the umpires of some
minor changes in the playing rules.
marked the opening sessions of the
leagues annual schedule meeting here
yesterday.
Although the injunction proceedings
Instituted at Chicago to prevent the
transfer of the Kansas City franchise
to Newark prevented the formal adop-
ton of a schedule, the magnates went
ahead with their work with the eXpec-
tation that Newark would be the eighth
team in this years lineup.
The tentative schedule provides for
Newark to open at Baltimore. Buffalo
at Brooklyn and Indianapolis and Chi
cogo at home, with st. Louis and Pitts
burgh as the contending teams.
D. ]. TIff, A. f. Gordon and Arthur
G. Black, representing the Kansas City
owners, registered at the hotel where
the league meetings were held, but did
not seek recognition at yesterdays
sessions. The belief was expressed that
way would be found to adjust the
dispute before the date set for the
hearing before the circuit court in Chi
cagO.

GRAND PRIX AUTO RACE.
Famous Drivers in Teday's Contest
on. California Course.

SAN FRANCISCO, February 81
Thirty-five drivers tuned up their cars
today for the sixth Grand PriX auto
mobile race on the Panama Pacific ex-
position four-mile course. The cars
were to be started three abreast at in
tervals of fifteen seconds.
Eddie Pullen. Barney Oldfield. Ralph
De Palma. Earl Cooper and Caleb
Bragg were among the speed stars en-
tered for the 402-mile grind which, it
was expected, would require five hours
to finish.
With ideal weather and track which
experts reclared was in perfect con-
dition, it was thought a new record
might be made. Two right angle turns
and other Irregularities in the course
offered, however. formidable handicaps
against time. Every precaution had
been taken to guard against accidents
to racers and spectators. Besides the
Grand Prix cup cash prizes amount ng
to 1000 were the rewards for the sue
cessful contestants.

Will have things their own way.
But the real test will come when the
majors get into the field On the
whole, the Feds have not bettered the
caliber of their teams since last sea-
son. True they have corralled a few
players from the majors. but there will
be no comparison in the standard of
play between the organizations.
There is no reason for the Cleveland
club officials losing any sleep because
of the announced retirement of Fred
Blanding. This twirler was at one
time one of the most effective in the
American League, but he appeared to
be all through last season and did lit
tie or nothing for his team. In quitting
Banding has done a very wise thing,
for the chances are he would have been
dropped into the minors after trial
this spring.
Eddie Collins is impressing the
training camp with the interest he Is
displaying in his work. Collins is of
the type that sticks on the job every
minute. There is a certain inspira-
ton always present, and it is having
excellent effect on the morale of the
squad, says one writer.
For the first time since Comlskey re-
yiyed the White Sox in 1900 there is no
fight on for the second base position.
Collins has this cinched. He knows
the fact. But that is not keeping him
from hustling just as if he suspected
some body of trying to beat him out.

HAVANA, February 27.-Judglns
from Jack Johnson's actions and words
last night, the negro has not the slight
est intention of going to Juarez and
fulfilling his contract to box Jess VIII
lard. If the bout ever is held any
where it will be right here In Cuba,
according to every indication.
Johnson is not very enthusiastic over
the idea of meeting Willard at all.
His remarks indicate that any boxing
he does will be with Jeanette, McVey,
Mills, John Lester Johnson, Battling
Jim johnson and others of his own hue.
Jack Curleys cablegram, saying that
he is on his way here to interview the
darby, has failed to excite johnson,
who does not seem to care when Cur
lev arrives or whether he arrives at all.
He has been busy discussing his affairs
with the various local promoters, who
continue to remark that Johnson's first
boxing will be for them.
