President Filmore would not discuss the report that organized baseball had tried to crush the Federal League to day. He gave out a statement that a list of the Major League players the Federals had sitrned would not he given out at this time. The names will be given out by the various clubs ln their respective cities. Altogether there were 23 club own ers and managers at the Federal meet ing, and the lobby of the hotel where It was held swarmed with players and followers of baseball. O-nnera "Show" Barker. The general topic for discussion in the Federal League meeting is said to have been centered around Weeghman. In tha morning Weeghman informed the Federal people that they must snow liim at least six clubs in the circuit that had sufficiently advanced to prove to him that they would absolutely "stick"' through the season. In other words, Weeghman came right out in the open and told the Federal League folks that he must be "shown." He was. Weeghman was asked if lie had been made any proposition by the St. Louis people, and admitted that he had been called 'from his bed to answer a tele phone call early in the day and that, indirectly, he was approached on tho subject of taking over the St. Louis eiuu. He refused absolutely to say who nai inaue tne proposition to him. President Gilmore said tti Federal League circuit would remain as already announced, denying the statement made in several of the afternoon papers that Toronto would be dropped. He re fused to give the names of additional major league ballplayers signed, but handed out the following statement: "After reviewing the list of major league ballplayers already signed the board of managers insures the public that the class of baseball to be offered by our league will meet with the ap proval of the most critical fans. Xante of Players ttrfused. "Out of consideration for the press in the respective cities I have been re quested to refrain from annonucing the names of- players signed. When the league officials deem it advisable the names will be given out by the various clubs in their respective cities. "Expenditures and obligations al ready made and assumed by the va rious club owners are of such a mag nitude that it should convince all hall players and the most skeptical fans that the report circulated, no doubt in tentionally by our adversaries, that the Federal League contemplated retiring, is without foundation. "Major league players we have signed are classy and of the highest grade and seem to appreciate the opportunities we have opened up for them and have expressed the opinion that many of tneir renow players who are still u'nder negotiations with various clubs will take advantage of the situation and soon Join them."

HEN a man ot the caliber of Jim Griffin says that the boxing game today is not half as bad as some people try to tell you, some of the fans will take the cotton out of their ears and listen to reason. Questioned as to how the fighters of today compared to the battlers of the olden days, Jim Griffin, California's famous third man In the ring, was not at all backward in saying that as far as he could see the game today was every bit as good as it was ln the days of yore. He says: "The only trouble I find Is that the flgTTters are a bit too cautious. They time themselves too much. Nowadays with" ltmited fights and all that, they do not go into the ring" in the same frame of mind that they did in the days when it was a fight to a finish any way a man could make it. "The statement of equality applies to the game in general, but It might have flaws if compared, class by class. do not believe that Smith, for In stance. Is every bit as good as Fitz simmons. Again. Willie Ritchie is every bit as good as the lightweights of for mer days. "The middleweights seem to have fallen off, but if you figure Ketchel, you must admit that he would rank nicely with Jack Dempsey and a lot of the middleweights. The only mid dleweight that I can feel certain would have beaten Ketchel was Johnny Herget (Young Mitchell). Ketchel would never have shifted with Young Mitchell and been successful. And for all that. Ketchel stood out as a won derful man of his class. "We have no -welterweights now to speak of. and certainly there is no man who would compare with Joe Walcott; but that is probably because a lot of legitimate welters are trying to force themselves into the lightweight divi sion." L. B. Barde, secretary and treasurer of the M. Barde & Sons Co., now in the East, reports that the Federal Leaguers have all the sympathy in the East and if the sentiment stays with them they will have no trouble at all in making It stick. "Baseball fans are having an entirely new time," says Barde. ."The air Is full of rumors and accordingly the real bug is having the best time of his life." Here's one from Scout James Rich ardson: "I am at Seaside looking out' at the big ocean waves. They say that the Beavers will get another pennant in spite of the Federals. They remind me of the 'breaks on Kramback's fast ball, just like 'em." Fritz Holland, who recently went to California to join in the four-round game, seems to be making good. In a letter he says that he has had offers galore to go further into the game. Tommy Burns wants him to go to Australia to indulge in six or more bouts. Leach Cross wants him to go to New York, Louie Parente. Petrosky's manager, wants him to go to Butte and Mickey Clifford wants to take him East Holland thinks his destiny will re main in the hands of Clifford, who Is both his pal and manager. Here's a quarter which says that when the National Comish starts teach ing how to abolish the pass, the Port land theatrical magnates will be the wise guys and take the head of the class. a That Dan Morgan, manager of Bat tuns: Levinskv. nnitA . ... i " ' - U 1. 1 VV he sent his nrntec In t ho ,-inn- nn.ai .

Gird, the South African horse man, was recently the purchaser in one of the heaviest deals in thoroughbreds for some time. He bought 15 3-year-olds of Barney Schriber. of Sedalia Mo. They will be placed with a ship ment . of 125 head of mules and taken to South Africa. A dispatch from Baltimore says: - "Manager Harry Jeffries Is 'keeping the wires hot in an attempt to get Dr Roller for his programme." Evidently Baltimore fans don't care what happens for the funeral notices fail to contain an account of the sud den demise of Mr. Jeffries worlds roller skating chamnlnn.

I acquisition been another Htfpmnt t-- e- made to prevent the sale of the Chicago site to Weeghman by Edmon.l Areham beau, ot Milwaukee, but this failed W hen it was learned that unknown par ties had been granted an option, John son informed Arcliambeau and Mike Can til Ion, who is a part owner of the property, to withhold action. A promise was made that organized c.ot,,, ie majors in this case, would give the American Association permis sion to put a club in Chiciigo to fight the Federals. Arcliambeau, who is interested in the .Minneapolis American Association club with the Cantillons. consented to wait. Kleventb Hour Action Taken. Here the Federals made a wise move Their option expired on December Go' Lp to this day they had taken no action in the matter. The owners, thinking the option might be allowed to expire did nothing and the majors likewise re frained from taking steps to put an association club In Chicago, as prom ised. - Of a sudden, at the last minute to be correct, the Federal Leaguers exercised the option and Archambeau refused to hold up the lease any longer He signed, and it was too late lor the majors to head off the deal. Whether they can do anything to block the trans action at this stage is a question. Steps along these lines have been taken in cities where the Federals have been slow in closing the. deal. Iast night Johnson was interviewed, but refused to admit tnat anything sen sational had developed. He said that Navln was here to sign George Molar ity and that Hedges came here to talk over a deal with John I. Taylor or the Boston Red Sox. The latter was 1 ere en route from California to Boston. The presence of Herrmann and Ebbetts was not explained. FAST HA I ;.MK I'HOMISED Jewlbli Hoys Club anil Columbia VTnlversUy Meet Tomorrow.
