BEAVER BALL SQUAD If . Arizonians ' Don't '.: Come INJUNCTION HIS CLUB THIS SPRING AGAIN MAGEE Asserts Roy jQrhan Has Ac cepted ' $500 '-Advance Money from blouteds. GOES EAST IN -TEN DAYS nil Bali Writes That Portlasdsr Xa Heeded at Office , for- Approach of Season Which Promises Xuca. By It.' A. Croaln. Federal league plans for carrying on thcr great fight against organized base ball hare reached such a state that all the leading forces are being assembled at. vantage points. Fielder Jones, manager of the $t Louis-.: Federal eague team,, received a letter yester day morning from Phil. Ball., .multi millionaire part owner of the Sloufeds. asking him .to return to St. Louis as early a possible, as his presence was needed on the firing line, . f ; --, Fielder will clone up his , business here and leave In 10 days for the east, to remain all winter. If .financial' con ditions In Cuba are .promising In the spring, tlie. St. Louis Federal league club will train in the Pearl of the An tilles. ,fhat means, that Fielder will not be buck home until next fall. , The Federal. league manager was In a garrulous mood yesterday, and talked without reserve. Alt was the longest Interview that he has allotted since he returned, -but he ' was pretty . badly trimmed at bridge whist at the Com mercial club I the previous day, - and hadn't the Tierve to go hack, to the cards yesterday. -:--'.- MDld you know .that- the Federal league had more money behind it than either ot the other two majors; In fact, almost as much as both the oth era? The players are beginning to re alise this, too, and that is why they are wanting to come over to our side. Walter Johnson will wish that he re malned with us. The moment Walter Jumped, his namesake. Ban. president ec the.Amerlcan league, was out with a statement that the pitcher was about through, and not much of a loss, any way.- But - foxy old Clarke Griffith knew better, and wired Walter to come to Kansas City Tor a confab. A lawyer and Griffith scared the life out of the t wirier . and got him to Jump . back again.:-:- u:. ,;', .. . .. '': ' - Msrrr i Battle' 'Ahead. - . Weli; tbirs'is rotaa" to the mer riest little- legal battle In the history of baseball over Johnson. He will Just aoauioreax tno Washington cluo.-ana floubt ery much if he will be al lowed to play a game, with Washing ton. li he plays any next season, I am pretty sure It will be with the Chicago Federals. Griffith's sole and Insuffi cient claim to Johnson Is a $2500 op tion upon his services for next year. On the other hand; the Federal league naa nls name signed to a contract, and gave him If 000 advance money. That ought to Satisfy any Judge In the coun try. The. case will be taken to the su preme. court of the United States for final settlement. If necessary. , - "i see that Roy corhan has been quoted In Ban Francisco ; as stating that be had - not signed a 8t. Louis Federal league contract. Well maybe, be is doing it for effect, but, as a matter of fact. Roy's contract is for more than a year, and Is safely tucked away In President Qilmore's safe in Chicago; and, furthermore, Corhan has 1800 of our moneys' which we very xjnaiy ; advanced . him. I guess when reporting time oomes, you will see Cor han right, there with the St. Louis Fed erals. lie is. a good man, and we of fered Jiim a mighty good contract. , Boxton "WOl Be With Pieldsr. Habe Borton wrote me the other day, begging to be released by the Federals, saying that he had a chance to manage .the Venice dub. I wrote and told him that Hogan could always manage .the club, and when he was ready . to- step out, I , knew of one or two fellows. Including Doc White, who were ahead of him, He wrote me, say ing that .he was.' satisfied to stick with me next year., Bo r ton is ready to go back up, and . should give me some strength In the inf leld lf the 'New York. Giants try to send Art Korea back to the minors, I. shall also take . him over. He Is the kind of a ball player that X like to drive in runs. That was the trouble X.had last year.? ,My club never could get any runs and they were not playing the right kind of baseball. When, I saw the collection, actually It was . the worst looking .ball club I ever met up 'with. There is a lot of deadwood that I will have to carry for a tspelL but I will hare a 1 real good ball club this year- and if luck breaks right I should be op there .at the top. ! - . . v. "When X took tbe club last year, the players had been doing all their play lng by higns from the manager. . X promptly . no tinea tnem that they'd have to do a little thinking themselves. I refuse to do all the thinking for a lnk! A wl. Mn.'. kn'. For - Dancing Dress A -jie'W line of cloth-top pat- ; ent leather Shoes, with sole especiallyprepared for danc ing.

S0X DESIRE TWO GAMES Eddie Collins Will Probably Be Biff Drawing' Card on Coast; McCredie Losing Enthusiasm for Long Trip. . Comes Walter McCredie with the startling statement that he may not train in Tucson, Aria., after all. J.t is not because or the electoral drouth down there; oh, no. Indeed, for Walter Is tbe nearest thing to a teetotaler we know, it is because the Beaver man ager fears that bis demand for a guar antee from the Arlzonans may be too great.- It la understood to be In the neighborhood of $2000 and in days of moratoriums, that is some amount. I don t know now whether we shall go down there or not,' said the big fellow yesterday. "I must have a guar antee,' for I am going to take no more chances. ' Tbe extra - expense is too great. X have not heard that they can not raise the guarantee, but their si lence would lead me to believe they are having some trouble. If not Tucson, then, mayhap, Fresno or Bakersfield will be our training point. For myself, I prefer Fresno. I can get a fine rate at -the hotel, the free use of a good bail park and the clubhouse and showers. What more could one- want? The weather there la fine and the treatment splendid., Per sonally, I don't care whether we go to Tucson or not. "If we went we could probably get a couple of days with the Chicago White Sox, but we could do the same thing at Fresno. Eddie Collins ought to be a drawing card . this year on the . coast, like Ed Walsh has been in the small towns In the past We-could probably get two -big crowds with the Sox to help pay our expenses. . - - for himself Is .not a good ' ball player and I do not want mechanical ball playera On my club. You'll never, get anywhere with -them,' for- they fall down too often iu the pinch. . . "When my club was not able to hit runs in, I tried them on the bunting game. They succeded a little better then, but,' of course, not as I desired. It was too late in the season to get out of last place, so X spent the. time experimenting. When-X took the club, X found the players always trying to get the front man' lna bunt. ' They failed, as a lot 'more" clubs, In eight cases out of 10. But after X had the shortstop and. the third baseman play position and. let the., pitcher field the tall In reasonable, territory, we put;off more runs. Of course w made th other clubs guess at our play. . ' '' . . s Sffarsans 'Adas Strenfta. " - "Marsans will : add i a wonderful amount of strength to the club. He is a corking good outfielder and- has few weaknesses.: I am going to play him In center field, use Tobln in right and Miller in left. This Miller is a great young ball; player, batting and throwing left banded.. He will show a lot of Improvement next year, and he hit .205 last season in 119 games. 'T tried to get Claire Goodwin, who was formerly with tos Angeles, from the xJKansaa City team, but George Stovall would not give roe a trade. I'd like to get Kenworthy from Stovall, lor the- ex-Sacramento man: played one of the greatest second bases -I have ever seen." 'Against St. Louis, at least. Collins or Evers would have had noth ing on him. v I never saw so-much Im provement in my life in a ball player. I am going; to try to trade Stovall out of Kenworthy,' and If I get him, look out for the St. Lioula club. - I worked hard myself last year, and will do tho same this spring. I found that I have slowed up too much to cover a regular position in" the outfield. . I can't-get over the ground 'like I used to, but X still possess an ability to see the ball. " I am going to do the pinch- hitting for the club. I was up four times last ,yer and got one bit. but X should have had three for X don't know how a third baseman and an outfielder managed to catch the ball on the other two occasions." That showed me that I: can hit if I can't run ' and so X am coinar to essay the nincnhittintr role." If Fielder adheres to-what he says, it looks rs If Mike Donlln wili have to seek a Job elsewhere than at St. Louis as a pinchhltter.' Jones says that Ball did not say . anything about - Donlln' s application for a job with the Sloufeds in his letter yesterday. . ' - S. P.
