MAJORS SCORN WARNING Philadelphia Signs Two Men Who Had Agreed to Play With" 'Out laws Lajoie Decision Cited ' as Big League's Reliance. CHICAGO. Jan. 21. Thi cclslv. hnl. tie of the baseball war of 1914 may be "s m a. f-eaerai court. This was Intimated today by persons close to promoters of the Federal League, who nerved notice that they would fight any attempt of clubs In organized baseball to sign their players. The legality of the reserve clause In me contracts of National and American leagues will be the point over which -the battle will rage. After delivering . tnanenge to "organized" ball, declar ing the Federal League would "pro tect" its players and their contracts, President Gilmore, of the new organi sation, disappeared to-day and there fore definite plans for the conflict, if formed, have not become generally known. Managers Ignore Warning. Announcement of the signing of Willliam Killifer and a tentative agree ment for the signing of Ad Brennan by the Philadelphia Nationals came so soon after Gilmore had warned the Quaker City club that the Federals would fight If Killifer and Brennan signed with it, that it looked to the Gilmore cohorts like the formal pick ing up of the gauntlet. Federal Leaguers declare themselves so confident that the reserve clause will be held illegal that they predicted tonight a grand scramble for signed players as soon as a court decision is made. "If it comes to bidding for players we will be as strong as anybody," said Charles Weeghman, president of the Chicago Federals. "Organized ball knows1t has no legal right to sign our ballplayers," said Manager Tinker, of the local club. "It merely wants to tie them up so thsy can't play with us." Playera Visit Outlaws. In addition to other players who vis ited Federal League headquarters to day, Louis Fiene and Dave Altiser, of 1 he Minneapolis American Association club, and Alex Zewilling, purchased from St. Joseph by the Boston Na tionals, talked with the managers of the new league. President Gilmore's telegram to President Baker, of the Philadelphia Nationals, follows: "We hereby officially notify you that Ad Brennan and William Killifer have signed contracts with Chicago Federals end have received advance money. xjuin our players and their contracts will be protected." So far the Federal League contends It has not tried to sign a player al ready under contract wMth a club of another league. It has been working on the theory that a player's contract would hold good in a civil court. The Players' Fraternity will not re tain on its membership rolls anyone who breaks a contract, according to Otto Knabe, manager of the Baltimore Federals, who arrived here today. Information came from Ban Johnson, president of the American League, that 1-M Sweeney, the New York Americans' catcher, had received an offer from his club which .probably would result in his remaining with the Yankees, de spite a good proposition from the Fed erals. The Chicago Federals probably will train at Mineral 'Wells, Tex., Manager Tinker announced tonight. Tinker will try to-induce Manager Brown to bring the St. Louis team there. CHICAGO, Jan.21. Frank C. Roth, catcher of the Chicago White Sox in 1906, when the team won the world's championship, and who played last sea eon with Louisville, was married here today to Miss Maude Gleason, of Burl ington, Wis. NEW YORK. Jan. 21. The signed contract of Lester Channell. outfielder, "was received at the New York Ameri can League club today. Channell was purchased from the Denver club of the Western League last month. He was a member of the New York Americans Keveral years ago, but broke his leg, and after a year's absence was released to Indianapolis. Jack Warhop, Chance's veteran pitcher, sent word to President Farrell today that he would mail' his signed contract at once. CHICAGO. Jan. 21. James Sheckard, whose work in left field helped the Chicago Nationals to two world's cham pionships, signed today as manager of the Toledo American Association club. DETROIT, Jan" 21. The Detroit baseball club received today the signed contract of Pitcher John Williams, a recruit who is the only native Hawaiian on Major League rosters. The contract was mailed from Honolulu. Williams pitched for the Sacramento Pacific Coast League team last year. Jiut-i. J-l3iixaJ TO LAJOIK CASE Ivillifcr's Shift Taken on Advice of Attorney, Says Magnate. PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 21 William Killifer, catcher, who was reported to have signed with the Federals last night, signed a three-year, contract with the Philadelphia National League club today, according to a statement given out by President Baker, of the local organization. President Baker's announcement fol lowed the Federal League warning that major leagues must keep their hands oft players signed by the new organi sation. Mr. Baker's statement follows: "Killifer signed his contract for three years with the Philadelphia National League, after consulting his lawyer and his father, who is a Probate Judge in Michigan. He was advised that the Lajoie decision covered his case ex actly, and that the Philadelphia Na tional League club has prior claim to his services. Then he returned to the Federal League the advance money he had received from It. notifying them of his action." President Baker said the Lajoie de cision was the strongest argument the National League had regarding con tracts. The Lajoie case was decided in the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in 1901. Lajoie. a member of the Philnriirh, Nationals, had signed to play with the Philadelphia Americans, and the Na tionals took the case into the County Court, asking for an injunction re straining Lajoie from playing with the Americans. The court refused the in junction. The Supreme Court, in reversing the lower court, held that the reserve clause was binding on the players, and that the fact that Ihe employing club iceervta the rich", to dismiss a, player on 10 days' notice did not destroy the mutuality of the agreement. While the Pennsylvania Supreme Court upheld the reserve clause and me provision in baseball contracts re latlng to the ten days' notice of re lease, the Federal Court has taken nn opposite view on the release notice clause. In view of the threats of legal action over players' contracts, which in the Killifer case could be brought Into the United States courts. Federal decisions revealed that Judge Dallas, in the united states Circuit Court here, re rused to enjoin Jim McGuire, the catcher, from "jumping" from the Brooklyj) to the Detroit club. Mc Guire in 1901 signed with Brooklyn for ia ana later contracted to play with Detroit. McGuire contended that the urooKiyn contract was invalid. WHOLESALE JUMPS " DENIED International League Head Thinks Few Players Joining Outlaws. NEW YORK, Jan. 21. President Bar row, of the International League, said today that the few players of the league who have jumped to the Fed eral League will "have until the opening or me season to reconsider their action After that date they will be elimi nated as far as, the International League is concerned. "The International League will bear me brunt or the fight so far as actual competition is concerned if the Fed erals start, but we will not make any anempi at retaliation so long as com petition is fair and above board and on its merits," he said. "The stories being sent out from the .federal League headquarters regard ing certain players and umpires being signed are frequently reports made out or wnoe cloth, with the evident inten tion of deceiving the ballplayers and encouraging them to join the Federal organization. As an illustration I can state that Umpire 'Brick' Owens, who tne .federal League says It has signed up, was signed some ten dav n er, in an International League contract. I be lieve it is t';e same way with many piayers.. BALTIMORE. Jan. 21 Mavo .Tamex H.

IIERUMAXX-PROMISES TO FIGHT Organized Baseball to Regard Legal Bights, Says Chairman. CINCINNATI. Jan. 21. Chairman Herrmann, of the National Baseball Commission, said of the telegram sent by President Gilmore, of the Federal League, to President Baker, of the Philadelphia club: "Mr. Gilmore, the Federal League', and the general baseball public can rest assured that organized baseball, as well as the Federal League, will protect its contracts in and out of the civil courts. Organized baseball will continue to recognize contracts, but when these are assailed by the Federal League or anyone else the assailants may expect organized baseball to make every endeavor to protect Its contracts. "So far as organized baseball is con cerned there is no worry on our part whatever about the Federal League, Mr. Gilmore or any of his associates. In this connection, I may add, wherever the Federal League has established a legal right to any ballplayers there will be no interference on the part of those connected with organized base ball, unless it is done in a retaliatory way when contractural obligations or vested rights are illegally interfered with."

Mrs. Bundy seems to have answered that by saying that May Sutton will be succeeded by Mrs. May Sutton Bundy. The famous tennis champions re cently acquired a "tennis champion" baby, but Mrs. Bun dy considers that not a bar at all, and is -as ready to de fend her title today as she ever was.

BROTHER RESIDES IN STATE Ex-Captain of Crack Team of Red men Lauds Modern Foothall, but Says Teams Spent Too Much Time on Offensive Work. Pete Hauser, at one time considered by many to be the greatest fullback m American football, is at the Im perial Hotel on his way to Siletz, where he will pass a month or two with his brother,' Emil Hauser, who nas been there since he retired fro Northwest football. Hauser has been coaching the past two years. He was with the Georgia School -t Technology in 1912 and in ima witn tne university or ueorgia. He recently signed a contract to coach Kingfisher College in Oklahoma in 1914. Both Hausers were members of the great Carlisle Indian team of 1907. That year the college sailed through a heavy schedule, losing but the one game, that to Princeton. Even Penn sylvania," -the bitterest foe of the Car lisle school, lost to the Indians in 190 Among the stars of the Carlisle team of 1907 were Jim Thorpe, Emil Hauser. Pete Hauser, Monte Pleasant and William Payne. Three of Team In Went. Three of that team are now in the West. Pete Hauser, in Portland; Emil Hauser, at Siletz, and Payne, near Pen dleton. Pleasant was then the greatest quarterback of the East. In 1908 Car lisle had the same wonderful team and tied Pennsylvania, 6 to 6. Pete Hauser was ill that year smd could not play. He came back in 1909 and helped defeat Pensylvania as a member of the team captained by his brother. Emil. In. 1910 Pete was caDtain. but the season was not so" successful for Car lisle, principally because a few of the Indians had become members of the alumni. While "Wauseka," as Emil was known at Carlisle, practically has re tired from the game, Pete has been making good as coach. The University of Georgia went through the 1913 schedule losing only to Vanderbilt. It defeated Mississippi and Auburn. Though football has changed some since he played, Hauser thinks that the change has been for the better. 'The really good man has a better chance to make a showing and do something for his team under the rules today," says Hauser. Game Better for Spectator. , "One of the improvements is the rule which allows the pass direct from cen ter. All these things may be taken as the reason for the increased popu larity of the game. They give the spectator what he wants a chance to see the game In a way that he can tell what is going on." Hauser does not think much of the forward pass as practiced today. "The forward pass is still in the ex perimental stage," he said. "There are not enough men able to handle It in the right way to make it a real valuable asset to the average team. "However, I think that it will con tinue to grow in popularity and after the teams have spent a few more years on it, the pass will be a big thing. "I have never seen a Western team that is, west of the Middle West in action, but I Judge from the! scores that they, like some of the Middle Western elevens, are spending more time on of fensive work than defensive. The low er scores of the Eastern games of 1913 show the tendency to put some of the time on offensive practice." Hauser likes Oregon. "Emil came here for a visit only," he concluded. "He has been here two years now. I am afraid that If I ex tend my visit over a month I, too, will be a resident of Oregon." FANS IN BOISE REJOICE TOWN WILL SUPPORT UNION ASSO CIATION, IS PREDICTED.

They ought to be happy without the Reds winning a game. Those make good names to which to give toasts. Some people have a lot of hope. An optimist- is a great thing, but -when carried too far there is a name akin to foolishness which applies to it. That is called for by the remark which Colo nel Ebbets, of Brooklyn, made some time ago at a meeting with Tinker. When Tinker refused to leave the Feds, Ebbets remarked.

The winners shot baskets from all angles. Luck refused to break for the Hill team. The few times Hill did get the ball near enough to their own basket to attempt a shot the ball would roll around on the edge of the basket and drop off. But one Held basket was scored, by the Hill slavers throughout the contest, and that one was by Muir about four minutes before time was called to end the game. Three fouls shot by Captain Briggs and the basket by Muir were the points made by Hill. The team work of Coach Callicrate's quintet was not as good as It might have been, but flashes at times showed that It is to be taken into consideration for the championship. The first half ended 26 to 0 and in the last period the Columbians registered 14 points, while the Hill team was piling up five. The guarding of Timmerman, of Hill, was better than the ordinary and he followed the ball consistently. Captain Briggs played a good defensive game and Muir was the hard-luck player of the game, for his attempted baskets were missed by the barest margin. Robinson, playing center for Coach, Earlywine's contingent, played the en tire game on his nerve, as an injury to his leg received several days ago caused him to limp. The work of Larson at forward and the guarding of Phelan were features of the contest. Larson was the high point-gatherer, with five baskets and two fouls, while Muirbead had four and Phelan three field baskets to their, credit- The match -was free from wrangling and only a few fouls were called, by Ref eree Grilley.

Luck sems to be breaking right for the Seals these days, as Manager How ard received a letter today from Charley O'Leary, who is in Chicago. The letter said the terms offered him to play with the San Francisco club were satisfac tory, and that he would sign his con tract and mail It shortly. O'Leary is the player the St. Louis club of the Federal League was after, but. apparently, he has passed up the offers of the'outlaws and decided to re main in organized baseball. Last season O'Leary played shortstop for the St. Louis Cardinal- and ranked third among the National League short stops in the official fielding figures. He was formerly a member of the De troit Tigers, on which club he was a fielder. O'Leary will be used at third base, the position covered by Walter Cartwright last season. ( O'Leary informed Howard that he was ready to start for the Coast at short notice.

Wearing six days' beards the mem bers of the Indoor Ski Club returned from its annual midwinter frolic on the slopes of Mount Hood last night via Hood River and the O.-W. R. & .N line. "We had a wonderful time," said A. U. Wakeman, president. "The past two Winters we have gone up the south side of the mountain, quartering at Rhododendron and Government Camp, but I think the north side is more ac cessible and affords more skiing and snowshoeing facilities." The Indoor skiers made their head quarters at Mount Hood Lodge, which lies six and one-half miles below Cloud Cap Inn at the 2890-foot level. Fre quent trips were made from this base into the mountains, the club giving over one entire day to a jaunt to the inn at the 5800-fooJ level. This is the first club to locate at Mount Hood Lodge, but it is expected that a majority of the skiing parties will make Homer Rogers' hostelry their objective point in the future, for the lodge is most advantageously located, man uve miles Deyond the termi nal of the Mount Hond Tin lirnnH The AV'PS IpV T.qH snnwcViA. ....... .. - laiv; iKii roruana yesterday for the sum- "in tiiiu Huenc lasc n 2-nt at rhn iHo-a Those in the Indoor Club excursion were tagar Frank, J.

Chief Function of Doctrine Will Be to Remove Stigma of Separations, Says Portland Man Vt Denver. DENVER, Jan. 21. (Special.) "Doctor" O. M. Plummer, the "Father of Eugenics," is in Denver. At his home in Portland. Or., Mr. Tlummer is secretary and treasurer of tho Union Stockyards Company. He is in Den ver to attend the stock show and on Invitation of the American Livestock Association. "I am called the father of eugenics," said Mr. Plummer. "I was first at tracted to the science when the stock men with whom I came in contact would tell me enthusiastically of the pedigree of their blue ribbon stock, but confessed ignorance of the ancestors of their own children. It seemed to me that the same theory which raised top- notch cattle should produce the high est type of humans." "Of course this fanciful thing called love' will keep eugenics from being perfectly practiced until your cam paign of education has supplanted it?" Mr. Plummer was asked. "Well, I won't say that eugenics will entirely do away with love," was the answer. "But this it will do. It will eventually remove any stigma from a separation between married couples. In the distant future when a couple " find that they are not suited to each other they will separate for the good of the race. Sure that they could marry again, they should separate."
