Virginia and Washington and Lee in
Annual Battle.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, February
5.-The Virginia basket ball team Will
take on its most bitter rival of the sea-
son tonight at Lynchburg. when it plays
Washington and Lee. This is an annual
affair, which always is bitterly contested
by the two teams. Last year the locals
defeated the Generals handily, but the
wear before saw a tie, and before that
Washington and Lee had a goodly string
Of victories over Virginia to its credit.
According to comparative scores, Vir-
ginia will win this year; she defeated
West Virginia University easily, which
team in its part administered the same
dose to the Lexington quint. Virginia
seems to have recovered in large part
from the slump she was in against Cath
Ole University. Her defeat of V. NJ. j.
was clean cut and the result of pretty
tossing all the men doing their best.

cellent FORM while Stickley, Bailey and
Luck are close behind him.
Washington and Lee. on her part, al
ways puts up a harder game against Vir-
and so a good fought contest is expected.
Many Virginia students will accompany
the quint to Lynchburg to cheer it on to
victory The Generals are understood to

The Baltimore Federal League con-
tingent is to have hearing before
Judge Lands of the United States
court in Chicago. where the Feds suit
against organized base ball has been
for the past year. The Baltimore stock
holders are to be questioned as to Their
reasons for not wanting to sanction
the withdrawal of the suit, and the
chances are ii will be ruled that the
majority of a league rules in such mat
tiers and that the minority cannot pre-
vent the action from being taken.
otto knabe, the manager of the Bal
timore club of the defunct league, has
been notified that his contract, which
has another year to run, has been re-
pudiated by the Baltimore club and
that he is free to sign with any club he
can.
1t seems unfair not to make some sort
of a settlement with knabe, who worke ID
hard for his club and is entitled to an
other years pay. But the Baltimore
stockholders are not liberal enough to
settle with Knabe and it is not un-
likely that he will bring suit and try
to recover what is due him by legal
means.

League purchased Ritter from the St.

faced Pitchers Bressler and Davis of

the Skowhegan club up in Maine. Four

and he also did some brilliant fielding.

Ritter over to Mack for nothing. II

that gets him.
| Secret of the success of the major

mensely wealthy Federal League oppo-
nents. was that the major league owners
knew their business.
Dave Davenport and Eddie Plank have
not affixed their signatures to contracts
with the st. Louis Field Browns, but
Fielder Jones is not worrying.
Indianapolis report has it that the Gin
cinnati Reds will close deal for the
| transfer OF Joe Kelly, the American AS
ISOLATION speed merchant, to Herzog' s
team.
President John Powers Of the Los An
geles Club announces to his fans that he
| is to get three players from the Pirates
| in return for giving Jimmy Callahan his
1 release. He does not name them as yet,
however.
| st. Louis Packer is among the new
owners of the Browns. As the latter are
| expected to be pennant contenders in the
American League. he may be Of i'm
mense help in packing the fans on big
days.
| Now comes Joe Tinker, manager of
poseth and says he doesn care to have
| Lee Magee on his team. Too many
stars. says Tinker, are not good for
a team. That may be the reason for
looking on Magee with favor-and then
again there may be other reasons.
During the excitement attendant upon
| making peace Garry Hermann forgot
whether or not 1t would retain Bill
| Rodgers. The option was to have eX-
pired December 20. AS a result the
Cincinnati Club is now bound to keep

new owners Of the st. Louis Browns
and president of the company that
owns the ball park. intends to go into
nouncement that he has disposed Of his
meat packing interests to his partners.
i He is said to have received $250.000 for
| his share in the packing concern with
which he was connected.
| The Philadelphia Nationals have pur-
chased Pitcher Brewer from Utica of
the New York State League on an
standing that the Utica Club will re-
ceive $1,000 IL the pitcher remains with
the Phillies after May l. Brewer will
| go south with the Phillies.
/ Down in Richmond they are happy at
the thought Of Baltimore being in the
same circuit, for Richmond considers
itself a rival of the Oriole City and be-
lieves games between teams represent

baltimore, however, has different
opinion. 1t turns up it's nose at Rich
mond and imagines itself natural
rival of Philadelphia and New York.
The Pittsburgh Pirates offered to take
over the contract the Chicago Cubs had
made for training at Tampa. The
Pirates have decided not to train at
Hot Springs again. Cincinnati also
stood ready. it is stated. to take over
the Cubs Tampa contract, as Alexan-
dria has been abandoned.

The bankers committee is not finding
it an easy matter to discover any one who
is willing to pay s56O.000 for the Cleve-
land proposition, and right now it seems
as if the scheme to sell should be aban-
doned and arrangements made to con-
duct the club under different lines.
There is no question that the
Cleveland club with team that Is
prominent in the race would be profit
able investment Manager Fohl has the
nucleus of a good ball team. and with
a few acquisitions of the right class
could make the team a winner.
Jack Murray, the former Giant out
fielder, who was sold by the Chicago
Cubs to the Kansas City American AS
sociation club. refuses to report to the
Tebeau organization. He argues that
inasmuch as he has given the National
League ten years of service, he should
be entitled to his unconditional release
and be allowed to choose the club he is
to go to. The Chicago club, however,
signed Murray only last season, and II
was the New York club which he served
for nine years. Tinker says he is not
going to worry about Murray's stand.

Vnclean Hands Charged.

The Federals argued also that they
had bettered the conditions of the play
ers and helped the game. They asked
that their opponents be enjoined from
prosecuting the numerous suits and
from tampering with their ball players
Organized base ball retaliated by
charging that the Federal League came
into court with unclean hands. Its
lawyers advanced the following points:
That the Federal League had tam
pered with its players and induced
some of them to violate their con-
tracts.
That the form of contract now in use
is simple agreement which allows the
player to become a free agent at the
expiration of the option.
That there was no federal question
involved in the litigation, and that the
court therefore lacked jurisdiction.
That the Clayton act states that hu-
man labor construed to include ball
playing), is not an article of COM
merce, so organized ball could not have
violated the Sherman act. as charged.
That the Federal League contracts
themselves contained option and ten
day clauses which robbed their con-
tracts of mutually and made players
slaves" for the ten years OF their
base ball life.
