FEDERAL LEAGUE
PROBABLE VICTOR
At Least Counsel Is Confident
Even Though Killifer Case
Is Lost.
GENERAL RAID SUPPOSED
'Gilmore, Wecghman and Attorney
Off to Grand Rapids Today to
Act in Hearing for Injunc
. tion Asked of Courts.
JL. L.
CHICAGO, April 2. The Federal
League stands to win, no matter what
the outcome of its suit to enjoin Will
iam Killifer from playing with the
Philadelphia Nationals, according: to
E. E. Gates, the league's counsel.
If the United States Court at Grand
Rapids, Mich., after the hearing on
Saturday grants the Federal League its
injunction the "outlaw" organization
counts on having players Killifer,
Blanding, Kahler, Baumgardner and
Williams forced to live up to the Fed
eral contracts they are said to have
signed; if the court refuses to grant
the injunction, thus denying the bind
ing power of the contract Killifer
signed with the Federals. Gates holds
that the contracts of organized base
hall would be considered equally use
less, so that dissatisfied players could
jump from organized baseball to the
Federals without regard to contracts.
As there are dozens of players in the
American and National leagues said to
be held to their clubs only through fear
that the courts would enforce their
contract. Gates figures that the Fed
eral League would be winner In a gen
eral raid.
Gates, President Gilmore and Charles
"Weeghman, of the Chicago club, will
go to Grand Rapids, Mich., tomorrow.
An American flag flying over the
stands of the Federal League Park to
day indicated the completion of the
steel part of the structure. Ground
keeper Murphy is already at work pre

Bittner and "Scotty" Duncan.
Any baseball teams desiring games
with a team averaging 18 years can

6 and 7 o'clock at night and ask for
Lewis Crane.
Manager Barr, of the well-known St.
Mary's nine, is out again with a fast

, ORGANIZED BALL OX DEFENSE
Camnitz, Federal Agent, Makes
Merry light in Chancery.
HOT SPRINGS, Ark., April 2. Evi
dence in defense of organized baseball
players' contracts was introduced to
day In Chancery Court in the injunction
proceedings brought against H. S. Cam
nitz, agent of the Pittsburg Federal
team, by the management of the Pitts
burg Nationals.
Barney Ereyfuss, president of the
Pittsburg National League club, and
"W'lliam M. Kavanaugh, president of
the Southern League and member of
the National board, were among the
wtfess for the plaintiff. As docu
mentary evidence, contracts between
the club and Players Viox and McQuil
lan were produced. A copy of the
agreement between National League
clubs also was identified.
Counsel for the Federals contended
that the contracts and agreements are
in violation of both state and United
States anti-trust laws and that there
fore the charge that Camnitz was at
tempting to have the Pittsburg players
break their contracts is without stand
ing. The temporary injunction against
Camnitz to prevent him from attenmt-
Ing to induce his former teammates to
sign Federal League contracts was pro
cured under the so-called Arkansas
JaDor contract law and organized base
ball is seeking to have this injunction
made permanent.
Viox and McQuillan were the only
witnesses called besides Dreyfuss and
Kavanaugh, Viox testified he was of
fered $3500. then 15000. to sign a Fed
eral contract. McQuillan said he was
offered $5000. Denial also was made
that a "blacklist" in the common ac
ceptance of the term existed in or
ganlzed baseball.

scrappy lad who made one or two ap
pearances with credit to himself in the
inter-club programmes of the year.

Gordon and Joe Santol in the same di
vision, so Ross can be expected to have
a humid night trying to get that title
under Winged "M" colors.

men, A. Beyers and Elle. Billy Mascott,
a new product of the newsboys, will
oppose them.

Triple, Doubles and Singles.
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Corvallis, April 2. (Special.)
This afternoon's combat between the
Oregon Aggies and the Baker Trl-State
club ended in the seventh inning when
Heaver Dillard, of the visitors, lost his
dirigible and nine Beavers dented the
plate.
The demoralization of the Baker
leaguers was complete. Dillard was
touched In the seventh frame alone 'for
a homer, a triple, two doubles and two
singles, issued one pass and hit one
man with a pitched ball, while his
teammates contributed two errors. The
score at the end of the spasm was 15
to 4 and Umpire Wilson called tha
game on account of rain.
Moreland and Supple was Clark's
battery layout and proved effective.
The local heaver was invincible except
In the second Inning, when all of the
four hits made by Baker were reen
tered. In this inning Moreland was
found for a homer, a double and two
singles and a brace of bobbles by Mor
gan aided the club In putting across
four runs. Akin duplicated his feat of
yesterday, lining out a homer with one
ahead of him. Moreland displayed
wealth of steam and good control and
Supple held him up In good style.
Dillard got a poor start and made i
poorer finish, but in the Interva
twirled good ball. In the first session
he was guilty of three walks and
single by Seiberts and a double by Co
ble, resulting In five runs. The locals
put another across in the fifth on
double by Loof and a triple by Rob-
bins.
Thirteen men faced Dillard in the
seventh, Seiberts and Loof making the
circuit twice. Seiberts showed great
form today, making three hits and
handling numerous assists with neat
ness. His teammate at short, Morgan,
was not so lucky, falling to get a hi
and making three errors. Score:
