Special Dispatch to The star.
PHILADELPHIA. January 16.-Frank-
lie Conifrey, the ascending New York
featherweisht, stayed in the same ring
with Johnnie Kilbane. monarch of the
feathers and citizen of Cleveland, six
rounds tonight. "Conifrey stayed" about
expresses the reason why the Cleveland
champion failed to put over one Of his
specialties. the X. o. punch. If the New
Yorker had exchanged punches with
the champion there probably would be
another story to tell, but Conifrey went
in the ring with the idea of just re-
naming there for six rounds and this
he accomplished.
So far as the lighting was concerned
there was little. Conifrey would not
mix things with the champion. He re-
fused at the very start and after he
had remained in the ring three rounds
he declined more steadfastly than ever,
for he then had visions of staying the
six round limit.
At the close of the fifth round, the
little champion was SO peeved at the
pacifist-like tactics of Conifrey that he
strolled to the reporters corner and
announced that he was helpless to do
anything in view Of the fact that Conf
frey was tar superior to him as hug
ger. He insisted that Conifrey held
him and did other things that prevent
ed him from opening the speed throttle.

socr,al p;spatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The star.
PITTSBURGH, January 15.-Follow-
ing the announcement made early this
week by Edward NJ. Gwinner, president
of the local Federal team. that he had
turned over to James N. Gilmore all of
the Rebel players with the exception of
Steve Yerkes, came the information to-
day from a man closely connected with
the late outlaw league that the best of
Gwinner's players would eventually
lapd with the Cleveland American
League team, which probably will pass
into the hands of Harry Sinclair. c. B.
Comstock and Gilmore within the next
ten days.
THE best players on the Rebel team
will not be disposed of by Jim Gil
more, as has been given out. unless a
deal in which he is, interested to pur-
chase the Cleveland team falls through
said this informant.
Syndicate to Buy Indians.
There has been lot of bunk going
the roun IS in the base ball world the
past few weeks. and the real facts have
been carefully hidden by the circula-
tion of stories tending to throw the
public of the real scent. AS matter
OF 1act, sinclair, ComSt0ck and Gilmore
right at this minute are figuring
mighty strongly on getting hold of the
Cleveland Indians. The original propo-
sition was to include Gwinner, but at
the solicitation of the latter's family
he has decided to get out of the game
Immediately the Pittsburgh mag
Mates course was decided on, the
Sinclair-Gilmore-Co syndicate
sought an option on the Rebel players
With the exception of Yerkes, on whom
Weeghman had held, an option of pur-
chase for two weeks, the other Rebel
players were turned over to Gilmore
ostensibly to dispose of as he saw At,
and announcement to that effect was
made by Gwinner.
The Sinclair-Gilmore-C omstock COM
bination Is ready to pay $500, 900 for
the Cleveland Indians, and is now
waiting for the bankers committee
10 accept the bid.
When il was suggested that the
selling of Magee to the Yankees was
peculiar move in view of the fact
that the former Brooklyn PLAYER
would strengthen the Cleveland team.
the reply was: 'Magee was wanted by
Rupert and Sinclair let him Ro.'
With the pick of the Rebels and other
players he controls the Indians can be
made one OF the strongest teams in
either league. Then, again. Rupert
and Sinclair have another big deal in
mind. which may staFtle baseballdom
very soon-and it has nothing to do
with ball players, either"
