IV1AY GO TO COURT
Federal Head Threatens Na
tionals When Players Go
Back on Contract.
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..

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."

FAMOUS
FULLBACK
INDIAN VISITS CITY
Pete Hauser, ex-Carlisle Star.
Fears He Will Tumble in
Love With Oregon.
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."

Jumping to the Federals, the latter
seem to have quite easy sailing. George
Stovall, getting signatures in Los An

book almost an inch thick, leading us
to believe that there is more fur to fly
Cincinnati fans have all the reason
jn the world to stick to the name
"Reds." with a team having such names
as Herzog, Hoblitzel, Groh and Neihoff
making up the infield. 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. "Here's luck, but
then when Spring comes around you
will be, with Brooklyn, without any
doubt." v -

5, on the Portland Academy gymnasium
floor yesterday. 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.
Following is the lineup:

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 21. (Special.)
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.
Nig -Clarke, the Seals clever back
stop, arrived from the wilds of South
ern Oregon today and dropped into the
local baseball office and deposited his
signed contract for next season.

SKI DEVOTEES RETURN
NORTH SIDE OF MOUNT HOOD IS
. FOUND IDEAL FOR SPORT.
Indoor Club Finds Homer Rogcra1
Lodge Ideally Located and Facili
ties Advantageous Also.
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,

"LOVE" NOT III PERIL
EUGENICS NOT TO IIO AWAY WITH
IT, SAYS MR. PLl'JIJIER.
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."
