NOT FOR HANK GOWDY.
Batting Hero of Worlds Series in Loyalty Club.

Boston. Jan 12.--It has been learned that the batting hero of the 1914 World Series. "Hamm ering'' Hank Gowdy, has been approached by representatives of the Federal league. Realizing that the catcher wh ose hits made the world champion ship Boston property would be a "blg card in their circuit next season, President Gilmore made the over lures personally.
 Gilmore's offer was s3O,0OO in the bank book of "Hammering'' Hank. and possibly a bonus besides The possibly is inserted because Hank did not ct the proposition go far enough to learn just what extra in- ducements would he made for the hurdle from the Nationals to the inde- pendents.
 Gowdy made it plain that he had signed a three-year contract with George Stalilngs last spring, and that it was one of the iron-clad variety strong enough to hold in any court which, when coupled with the much talled-of moral obligation,' made it seem right that he should remain q Brave.

 When President Baker was in New York and was ill he promised that he would look into my case as soon as he was able tO get about. He has recovered and been to Phila- delphia a halr dozen times since, but has not attempted to get into com munication with me once.
 "I have clippings from some of the leading baseball writers in America in which the failure of Philadelphia to give me my unconditional release is denounced. end these writers are not Federal league boosters, either.

DONOVAN OU1W|TS
 OUTLAWS BIDDERS
Gets Three Year Contract With
 Roger PcCknpa Jh.

New York. Jan. l2e--~Wild William suasion salve and contagious smile on Captain Roger Peckinpaugh, his clever shortstopper, in Cleveland yes terday, and To and behold. Bill left the Forest City for parts unknown with a three-year contract containing Rogers signature safely tucked away in his inside vest pocket
 Thus were the Feds foiled at an other "toin.'
 Donovan was compelled to bid against Joey Tinker of the Chfeds, and the silent Yank shortstop made no secret of the matter that he would go to the highest bidder But snort ]y after noon yesterday Tinker fell out, and Peck knocked himself off to Donovan for $21,00O for the next three years.
 he Cleveland story does not tell what Peck's new salary is to be, but that is the figure which was reported along the local rialtO last night. Sev- en thousand bucks per annum is pret- ty good money for a player, who wore splinters off the bench two years ago.
 At the time that Chance secured Peck in trade for Stumpf and Le- livelt, President Sommers of Cleve- land was doing his best to waive Roger out of the league, so he could send him to his Portland farm.
 'Pecl<' Is a Live Onc
 Despite Peckinpaugh's batting aver
  shortstops in the game, and has no superiors going to his right after hard-hit balls. His bingles last year came very timely and he ranks with the best hitters in the American league in sending in runs. He led the Yankee pinch-hit tribe by driving in ] fifty-nine runs, ranking fourteenth in the league in swatting in tallies Peck also is fine baserunner, and purloined thirty eight bases last sea son, which is no mean figure for a 223 hitter. It was three more than Ty Cobb swiped last year. though Tyrus was in only ninetyseven games while Peck was in 157, or every game which his team played As a team captain Peck made record, as he is perhaps the only base ball captain in the land to go through season without at least getting a repuke from an "ump,' but Roger was rather a tame field lieutenant. If he did any fusSing with the umps he did all his talking inWardly, as the arblters never took Offense toward his general attitude.
 Peck issued a strong denial from Cleveland that he was in any way peeved because he lost out on the managerial job of the Yanks after plotting the club for a month last fall. He says he was not ready for q man agers career, and said he would work his head off for Wild Bill.

Johnson and made him look like novice.
 Johnson was not lacking in gamc- ness and took a terrific beating tow ard the end of the bout. Jeannettc. taunted by the gibes of the spectators, showed little speed in the last two rounds and outpointed Johnson. In the ninth round he was hanging on to the ropes. The bell was the only thing that saved him from being knocked out.
 The weights were announced as Jeannette, 194; Johnson, 177.
 "BlaCk Bill' of Baltimore stopped Fred Robinson in the third round, and Fred Kid" Jackson was no match for Battling Jim" Johnson, the ref cree stopping the bout in the fourth round

BASEBALL SCANDAL IN CAL.

Winter league ball in California is smirched with another scandal. The charge is made that gamblers arc operating on the results in the Inn perial Valley circuit so strongly that players are being approached Re- gently these gamblers succeeded in having Umpire Billy Phyle discharged because he would no shade his de- cisions to suit them, but the better element of the fans protested and he was reinstated. It was in California Winter league circles three years ago that a bad mess was stirred when certain well known pitcher was ac- cused of accepting s7o to throw game. Billy Phyle should get out of that Imperial Valley crowd. He can't afford to be mixed up in any scandal, even though he be an innocent party, and no one should know it better than he.

New York, Jan. 12.-It is the in Joe Shugrue, to force Freddie Welsh into a decision contest with his charge after the outcome of the Shugrue~ Cross bout tomorrow night in Madi son Square Garden. Fitzgerald, to show his sincerity in the matter, will post s5,0Oo forfeit with prominent sporting man of New York, the money to go as a guarantee to make any weight Welsh may name, and a like amount will be posted as a side bet. providing the contest is for twenty rounds or more.
 "Shugrue is more entitled to a match with the champion than than any other man in that division," said Fitzgerald last night. 'and his victories over Welsh and White at the Garden are certainly enough evi- dence that he is the most formidable of the contenders. l know it will be a hard matter to force Welsh into a decision bout but I will keep pounding like he did Ritchie until Shugrue gets the chance he has longed for
 The ten round semi-final betw n Gene Moriarity and Andy CortCz to- morrow night is expected to be as in- teresting as the formers sensational battles with Bobby Moore at the last two Garden shows. Both boys are aggressive. with plenty of hitting pow CT, and should put up a stiff argu- ment.

Chicago ROOters Protest Against
 Slaying of Mascot.

Chicago, Jan. 12.--Clara Maduro will not be executed. The wee bear that acted as mascot for the Chicago Cubs last season, and which mean while has grown to dangerous pro- portions, has been saved through the protest that followed the announce ments in the papers of the proposed distribution of bear steak.
 The biggest objection to Clara was that as soon as she attained full, growth her chief delight was to tear up the scenery and damage the props at the Cub park.
 Miss Maduro will take up her resi- dence with one Joe Biggio, who re- sides near the park.
