The new Federal League Park Is on the property bought several years ago bv the late Charles Havenor. of Mll 'waukee. and the Cantillon brothers, of Minneapolis, where it was planned to 'undertake a Chicago Invasion by the American Association. Before buying this property. It Is said, the Federals sought to obtain an 'option on the old park of the Ameri can League club, four blocks from Its present park. When President Com Iskey. of the Americans, learned that the old park was to be used for jro 'fesslonal baseball, he declined to "dis pose of it. THRKATS BLrFF, SAYS JOXES Major Lcapuer Can't Bo Kept Ont of Federal, Thinks ex-Outlaw. Recalcitrant major league ball play ers need not fear legal injunctions such as threatened by the magnates for de serters to the new Federal Circuit. The National League resorted to re plevins, habeas corpuses. mandamuses and every other form of legal device back In the war days of 1900. 1901 and 102. but the courts ruled that the con tracts were not tokens of everlasting civil bondage. Practically the same contracts are in use today. Fielder Jones, ex-manager of the Chicago Americans, now a Portland resident, waa first among those to rec oanixe the Federal League, a formld llle outlaw movement. Mr. Jones al ways talks straight from the hilt and be said weeks ago that there waa a field for a third major league. -Ifs merely a matter of having suf ficient capital to get the league start ed." said he at that time. The ex-world'a champion manager has not changed his view since then. In fact, the signing of Joe Tinker has convinced him that the Federals have Vic money. Mr. Jones laughed at the Brooklyn threat to enjoin Joe from plaving at Chicago. "They tried that same stuff back In the days when I Jumped Brooklyn to go to the Chlraco Americans," said Fielder. "It didn't work then and it will not now. For aeveral months they barred Larry Lajole out of Pennsyl vania, and. whenever Cleveland was making a Jump to the East. Larry had to ao around by way of Canada. "But. Lajole won the suit after sev eral months. These present threats are bluffs. That's all there is to It."

Each side annexed two points during the next two minutes, but with IS seconds to play Sellwood fouled and Roth threw the winning basket Just as time was called. Roth was the big star of the game, shooting 14 out of 18 fouls, besides playing a splendid game at guard.

Our famous home run favorite, now the property of the Toledo club of the American Association, admitted yesterday that he was considering an offer from the out law circuit. "A contract for two years has been offered me," said Buddy yesterday. The ex-Clevelander is wintering- in Port land. "I was told to write In my own salary figures and I Intend to demand at least 18000 for the two years. Per haps I may accept if they give me that, for I think I am still good enough for the big leagues. "In fact," added Buddy, "I haven't quite figured out yet bow Cleveland got me out of the league, for I know that Chicago and one or two other clubs refused to waive at one time during the year." Ryaa Lonaa for Portland. Ryan wants to return to his old pasturage in Portland, if he plays at all In the minor leagues, and he and Walter McCredie. manager of the Port land Coast champions, held a conference yesterday afternoon at headquarters relative to the coming season. Mac recently received a communica tion from President Somers, of the Cleveland club, asking for Bud's views on his transfer to Toledo. Somers Intimated that if Ryan was not satlsned perhaps his transfer to Portland might be negotiated later on. "If the Naps take Lober I expect to get Ryan back," said Manager Mc Credie. "Lober Is too valuable to lose m'ithout a good man coming in ex change. Buddy would Just about break up 20 or 25 games for me with his home run bludgeon and I am hoping for bis return."

Biddy Bishop, the clever Tacoma writer, is out with a scheme for post season series between the Northwestern and Pacific Coast leagues, same to be played at San Francisco during the Panama-Pacific Exposition in 1915. The originator of "umpire's day conveyed his plans to Fielder Jones yesterday, suggesting that the North western League prexy arrange such a series If possible. The chief drawback to the scheme Is the difference between the closing dates of the two leagues. The Northwestern ends exactly three weeks earlier than Its AA rival and It would be necessary to fill In those dates with exhibition games.

NEW YORK, Dec. S3. In the effort tn keen her children and friends In lg noranre Of her sufferings and to spare them from worry during the Christmas holidays, Mrs. Helen L. Mackay. widow of Km. Donald Sage Mackay and daughter of a former Governor of Ver mont, died unknown In a private hos pital. This developed pending the Coroner's investigation into the cause of her death. Mrs. Mackay died while under the Influence of ether. She was on the operating table of a private hospital, where she had registered a few hours before as Mrs. J. H. Stone, of Boston. The following statement was Issued by friends of the family: "For more than a year Mrs. Mackay had been troubled at intervals with a serious pain in her side. She had kept so actively engaged in charitable work, however, that she deferred attending to It. About two weeks ago, after another attack, she remarked to an in timate friend that she expected to be treated by a physician who had been highly recommended. "She was insistent that her children and friends be kept in ignorance of her suffering so that their holidays would not be marred ' by worry. If, as re ported, Bhe gave the name of Mrs. Stone, It was solely for this purpose." LIQUOR BREATHS TO GO CENSUS DIRECTOR HARRIS TO SUS PEND EMPLOYES WHO DRINK. Disagreeable for Yoans Woman la Of fice to Have to Sit Beside Mea With Alcohol Odors, Says. Order. WASHINGTON, Dec 25. Further evi dence of a "dry" Administration devel oped recently when the Director of the Bureau of the Census Issued an order that "indifinite suspension" will be the penalty for any man appearing on duty with the odor of liquor on his breath. Previously an order against men em ployes appearing for work under the Influence of liquor was Issued by Di rector Harris, and five men were sus pended, but the latest move Is intended to strike a death blow at King Alcohol. The Secretary of Commerce has given his approval ot the crusade of Mr. Har ris. "I Issued the first order by posting notices about the building soon after I came into office," said Mr. Harris to day. "Then I wrote letters to those who were known to have come to work in an Intoxicated condition. Some took the warning; others didn't. I have sus pended five men Indefinitely. As yet I have suspended no one for merely having a liquor breath, but If cases do come to me I will discipline these persons, although in the first instance I shall not suspend them. "It is very disagreeable for the young women of the bureau to have to sit throughout the day with the ordor of liquor constantly around, and I do not Intend to tolerate such conditions." No excuses will be accepted, says Mr. Harris, who added that "any one sick enough to drink whisky is too sick to work." Two poetic efforts of employes gained circulation about the office after the second order had been posted. One read: THE CALAMITY. A worker In the census Lay perishing of thirst, When a comrade dashed beside him, Saying. "Listen to the worst": The Georgia drouth has struck this place And chased away all cheer; No mora tha whisky breath for eurn. Nor yet the fumes of beer." The dying man In horror rose. "Oh, what's the use?" he said: "The good old days are past and gone." And then his spirit fled. The other reads as follows: If a body takes a toddy. Applejack or rye: Jf a bodv takes a toddy. Need Bill Harris cry? Everybody takes a toddy. "None." Bill says, "shall I. But all the barkeeps smile on me When passing; out the rye."

DEER RACES WITH CYCLIST Animal Comes From Woods for Sprint Beside Motorcycle. SATVILLE, L. I, Dec 25 While riding at the rate of 45 miles o hour on his new motorcycle, Hughes Stelger. wald, of Sayvllle, who had attended a dance in Llndhurst, was startled last night when a buck came out of the Oakdale woods. Mr. Steigerwald slackened the speed of his motorcycle, fearful that he would be thrown by the deer. He then was in an awkward and dangerous dilemma, for the buck continued to keep pace with the machine, evidently taking the handle bars for horns. kma hv side the deer and the motor cycle raced. So close was the animal that the chain tore the hide from the deer. For a brief second a horn of the deer and the right handlebar were locked. Steigerwald believes that he was at that time going at the rate of 40 miles an hour. Thn rider then applied more power. The noise frightened the deer and he sprang clear of the machine and ran into the woods. Mr. Steigerwald said that the whole occurrence seemed to have nappenea in a second.
