The moguls declare that Ebbets hadn’t been so niggardly r 'ith his funds he would have met ’l inker's demands, kept him in organ- l *°d baseball, and thus kept from the Federate the biggest drawing card they have. Tinker wanted a three-year con tract from Ebbets at $7,500 a year in nddUicm to his $10,000 bonus.

N EW YORK, Dec. 30—The Fed- eral League will have to stand on its own feet—if it stands at all. Whatever support it may have hoped for from the Baseball Players’ Fraternity will doubtless be found jacking when the National Commis sion treats \yith this body in Cincin nati on January 6. David L. Fultz, president of the fraternity, declared yesterday that his association, far from being disgrun- lied at the sway of the triumvirate, stood ready to ratify peace and good will if the commission stood ready to pursue Its broad-minded policies of the past. "We have no objection to the re- ferve rule,” declared Fultz. ‘‘We realize that whatever evil may be embodied in the clause is absolute-y essential to the good of the game. “We believe, however, that a player who has served ten years with a club should be given bis unconditional re lease if his services are no longer de sired in the major leagues. This will save some the humiliation of being rust back with some minor league club. There have been instances of faithful veterans being sent back to • lie sticks’ as ordinary privates, when unconditional release would have paved the way to managerial promo tion. “This suggestion of minor amend ment to the reserve rule has been irt- : rsed unofficially by most of the major league club owners, I am told. I do not anticipate any difficulty a hatever. “Our association has been request ed to send a committee to confer with ihe National Commission and the Na tional Association. In all probability Jake Daubert, John Henry. Hay Col lins, Edward Reulbach and myself will tender the players’ suggestions.” For several weeks past the Federal League has promised from time to lime to make known on some certain date the names of the major league players ready to desert to the new “outlaw” circuit.. Each time the en suing delay was explained away over some nfysterious action the fraternity might take at the annual meeting of the commission in Cincinnati Janu ary 6. The attitude of Fultz clearly indi cates that the fraternity is not offi cially backing the Federate or trying to influence players in good standing to desert their colors. The Federal League, which did business independently of organized baseball in 1913, emploj’ed a reserve clause similar to that in effect in or ganized baseball. Contracts that have been sent last year’s players contain this identical article. It would not appear, then, that if the Federate feel themselves strong enough for war, ’ hey will make the reserve clause the bone of contention. Few’ believed the Federal League ever had serious intentions of an Eastern invasion. It would entail an ' riwieldy circuit—one whose - long jumps would ruin even an estab lished mtnor circuit of Class A A rat ing. Nowhere in the East has any step been taken to provide a park, let alone secure players. Major league parks • •an not be equipped in a few days; most certainly not in the winter time. If the Federate have ever had serious intentions of expansion they seem to have lost a lot of valuable time in talk. MUNICH I*. * BEMjTIFuL city , OVER There.

C hicago, Dec. 30.—au Woigast will not be suspended by the Wisconsin Boxing Commission for his alleged “foul” tactics in his recent ten-round whirl with Charlie White. The Milwaukee Boxing Com mission refused to accept the plea that White was fouled or that Woi gast was unduly rough in his glove play. • Instead of talk of suspension, Pro moters Andrews and Mulkern. who conduct rival clubs, began a spirited bidding match to land a return bout between* the lightweight cracks, which, it is cerftain. will be staged during the latter part of January. An drews asserts he is prepared to of fer better inducements than Mulkern, as the Auditorium, which he con trols, has a seating capacity for more than 10,000, whereas Mulkern can not accommodate a crowd of more than 4,000. White is eager to again meet the former lightweight champion, but will insist, because of his recent victory, upon getting the lion's share of the purse. In the last match. White was forced to concede everything, even going so far as to accept 25 per.cent of the receipts, while Woigast got 35 per cent. Now White wants the split of the purse reversed, and asserts he’ll get it or there’ll be no match. White has been matched to meet Harry Donahue before a Peoria (Ill.) club January 5. Donahue recently whipped Mickey .Sheridan, whom White stopped in Racine a few weeks ago. t . TEXAS MAY MEET ILLINOIS. URBANA, ILL..

TKRRK HAUTE. INI).. Dec. 30.— George Grammell. a local boxing pro moter. telegraphed Jimmj Dime, man ager nf George Chip, offering a match with Jack Dillon the first week in Feb ruary. , By Left Hook. A LTHOUGH Freddie Welsh, who meets Frank Whitney at the Auditorium-Armory January 6, must be worth approximately $100,- 000 at the prese.-t time, the British champion found it awfully hard sledding when he first entered the pugilistic game. In response to a letter sent by the writer to Freddie a few days ago, Welsh tells of his start in the pu gilistic game. Promoters all over tho country were not always after the Englishman’s services, which made it very difficult for him to secure bouts in his early days. Freddie’s first encounter for easn was in New York. Having been a physical director at several gyms In that little burg, he knew the rudi ments of boxing. But at this par ticular, time Freddie was down and out—so* down, in fact, that he had been bitting the free lunch regularly. He happened one day in a saloon where the lunch was above the aver age. and as he was eating his way to satisfaction the owner, oberving his hunger, agreed to put him on that night at a little private club over the saloon. He won that fight over the K. O. route, and received the handsome sum of $2 for his victory. After this battle be fought around at different clubs in New York, receiving from*$5 to $25. Taking advice *rnrn a friend, the Briton later took a trip to Phila delphia, and from then on things earn- his way. Freddie is a great admirer of El bert Hubbard, and wherever you see Welsh you see a copy of The Fra or The Philistine. When Welsh does road work, he usually’ takes the trusty Era along to relieve the monoton. . and carries it to bed with him for a sleep-producer at night. According to Welsh, that magazine Is very ver satile. T HE great English boxer is at pres ent working like a Trojan f >r hi.s ten-round engagement in New Or leans with Johnny Dundee Thursday afternoon. The Pelican City fans have taken a great liking to Welsh, and he now rules a 10 to 8 favorite over his Eastern rival. Freddie has been training in X-r Orleans for the past ten day*, and reports from his training quarters state that he is rounding into the best of shape. It also looks very much as if Fred die expects to stay on these shores for some time. Below is a copy of a Vu- egram sent by Mrs. Fred Welsh, to l •WELSH TANGOES NIGHTLY IN REAL SOCIETY; HIS WIFE IS MAKING TOUR OF THE WORLD XT EW ORLEANS, Dec 30.—Joe Mandot is -not only the Jight- weight who believes in the tango as ati aid to training Freddie ^ Welsh likes to tango so well that he is frequently seen at one ; of the popular night restaurants, and when Freddie has the floor the ' majority of the other dancers stop and watch him. His good looks, ) good tangoing, cheerful disposition and intelligent conversation have ) led him into highest society that frequents the cafe after the theater. ; He spends an hour this way nearly every evening, but. of course, bars wine and all alcoholic drinks from his menu. While Freddie-is train- i ing and tangoing in New Orleans, Mrs. Welsh is making a tour of the \ world. She is now in Australia. the British champion and his reply: Melbourne.

Mrs. Fre<^ Welsh, Care of S. S. Mace donia : Can not go to France. Welcome to New York. Come quickly. Love. FRED. The above telegrams, exchanged by- Mr. and Mrs. Fred Welsh the middle of this month, have led to a second invitation extended by Welsh to Welsh to come to Atlanta and meet the British champion while he is training here for hi matcR with Frank Whitney on January C. Mrs. Welsh and her sister left Fan Fran cisco several months ago on a tour that has taken them nearly half around the world while Fred has been busy boxing in the United States. * * * |7RANK WHITNEY, following his •l usual custom, will be on the bat tle ground .several days before the conflict. Frank will arrive some time to-morrow and will .mmediately open training quarters here to finish training. Whitney wants to be in the best shape of his life fer t’ is bout, as he realizes that he has the chance of a lifetime before him W’hen he meets Welsh. Should Frank manage to gain decision over the British champion, he will at once jump into the front wnk of the lightweight division. Lo cal fans who »aw Prank fight before know that the “Fighting C’arpent**• ’ is always on the job when once in side the squared circle. Freddie may have a great reputation, and all that, but we would advise him to look out for Mr. Whitney. We saw Frank take them on the jaw from Charlie White and never once did the boy from Ce dar Rapids stop coming. There are few boys in the gaqie that can take the Chicago*boys wallop on the chin and. not go down, but Frank proved himself an exception. The three companies of the Fifth Regiment under whose auspices the bout is to be staged at the Audito rium announce that they will have the entire card completed in a day or two. Tortorich Offers Clabby $2,000 To Box Mike Gibbons NEW ORLEANS, Dec 30.—If Jimmy Clabby thinks $2,(K)0 is good pay for ten rounds with Mike Gibbons at 154 pounds the^natch Is awaiting him for tho third week in January. Promoter Dominick Tortorich wants to stage it her< and Gibbons has already signed. If It isn't another Darkey-Brit ton affair, it should be a beautiful fight. Sporting Food -Sy a«ORQ« ■.

He will play Hoppe for $500. $2,000 or $5,000. As Hoppe’s first proposition was to play an exhibition game in Chi cago Sutton is willing to accommodate him, winner to take 80 per cent and loser 40. or winner take all.

There is fiu old fellow named Fitz, II ho oner wan a whale with hift nvits. lie'* an old fellow now With no hair on kin brow, Hut oh! how the old fclloto hiU! Mr. Fitzsimmons, who once w«s known as Ruby Robert, threatens to come back and clean up a few of our white hopes. If he can’t, he ought to be ashamed of himself. Max Carey, of the Pirates, is sell- ing diamonds in St. Lou's, thereby proving that he is only a ball player. If he were a magnate he would be selling gold bricks. it is good police to insure Walter Johnson for $100,4)00, but we’d hate tc take the job of insuring the fel lows he pitches against. One thing we can’t understand about George (’hip is that he hit Frank (Claus on the jaw and failed to sustain a fracture of the mitt. Had we been a friend of Willie j Ritchie, and had we thought of it at the time, wc should have sent him an electric foot warmer as a Christmas present. Yesterday was peculiar in one way. Somehow the match between Johnn.y Coulon and Young Sinnet was not post ported. Those w ho were about to w ish Ar thur Pelky a Happy New’ Year are hereby requested to refrain. It is Yio use. On that flay he will meet Gun boat Smith. We have a certain amount of re spect for Gunboat Smith, who has eliminated a few white hopes, but if we were a member of a boxing com mission our first move would be to introduce a rule limiting all heavy weight fights to one moment. Charlie Carr’s school for baseball players may be a boon to the public, but what we need Just now is a school for baseball magnates. * “‘THE OLD RELIABLE" Local Quintet In Hardest Game of Season Saturday The fifth game on the schedule for the Atlanta Athletic Club basket ball team Is to be played Saturday night away from home.
