MAKL1N SPRINGS, March 3. ONLY IN CASE WE OONT MAKE MONEY Curley Wires El Paso "Everything Favorable' EL PASO. March 3. Havana promoters have played on the fears of heavyweight Jack Johnson until he has been led to believe he would not be safe in going to Juarez to fight Jess Willard, according to a cablegram received from Jack Curley, promoter, by Treasurer Weil of the promotion syndicate. Curley said in his dispatch he talked with Johnson today and that "everything is favorable" for staging the fight in Juarez.

Feds and Organized Baseball must go ahead with the material they possess at the time the decision is rendered, without seeking to further molest the other Ride That would explain the belated rush of Organized Baseball to grab all the jumpers who are willing to return to the fold. In the meantime some of the stars will have had a fine winter spending the advance money given them by the Federal League. Of course, the O. B. clubs that take them back will refund it for them.

It was said that three messages came from him today, but that Piesident Weeghmau refused to negotiate until after the Sherman law case has been decided.

"S' 1XISTER" DICK KIXSELLA, expected to reach the Giants' (Polly) Perritt, the Cardinal contract with the Pittsburg Federals Perritt Jumped the Cardinals to sign with the Pittsburg Federals, but, yielding to McGraw's persuasive arguments, he has retraced his steps and again is back in the O.

B. fold. McGraw is responsible for Perritt's flip-flop. The Giant manager received permission from Huggins to negotiate with Perritt and hastened to Polly's home at Bryceland, while on his way here with the second squad. He had trouble locating the Cardinal curvist.

who was on his way to the Pittsfeds- training camp. However, he got in communication with Perritt, then called his trusty scout, Dick Kinsella, and Perritt now is on his way to the Giant camp, where he will remain. Perritt is to become a member of McGraw's team. In payment for the young; pitcher, considered In many quarters a one of the most promising; right-handers In the game, McGrnw probably will turn over to St. Louis one of his regular outfielders and recruit Infielder.

The other transfers in this deal, however, will be held back until Judge Landis renders his decision in the famous trust case. The Cardinal end of the trade therefore will remain in abeyance, as will Hug's deal with Cincinnati for Wingo. In the meantime Perritt will get into condition as a member of McGraw's squad. Huggins Confirms Story. Special to ihe Post-Dispatch.

SAN ANTONIO, March Huggins this morning said he had nothing to add to the announcement he made last night, regarding Polly Perritt. "McGraw has signed Perritt to a St contract." said Huggins, "and while Polly will report to the Giants, he stifl is a member of the St. Louis club urai mm win sena nim to New York WELL IF AIMT -x dortHA 5PLIT FIFTY- FIFTY Ott THE MONEY WE MAKE WOTS THE IDEA IN PAR HERS? S' TOO EXHORB1TAMT 50 MAJOR LEAGUE CLUBS THIS YEAR This List Does Not Include Recruits Sent Back to Minor Organizations. Since the close of the 1914 campaign no less than 50 players and managers have either been traded, released, or have hopped to the Federals. Frank Baker, the third-sacker for the Athletics, who has announced that he will retire is in a class by himself.

No other player of Baker's ability has announced that he does not want a good job next season. Fritz Blanding, the big pitcher of the Indians, who never was taken seriously by' the Cleveland fans, also has quit the national pastime. While Baker and Blanding have announced they will retire, one tosser Harry Lord of the White Sox is showing symptoms of wanting to come back to the agonies of being a major Leaguer. Lord quit last summer after a run-in with Jimmy Callahan. Jimmy Callahan, Hank O'Day and Charley Dooin are the managers, who have been released.

Callahan has bean made business manager of the While Sox; O'Day is out of a job, while Dooin has signed with Cincinnati. Clarence Rowlana. Roger Bresnahan and Pat Moran are the men who replace the above trio, while Bill Donovan la a new addition as a leader, taking the place of rank Chance, who retired last summer. Many Brownies Have Departed. Roy Mitchell, Miller and Clyde Wares of the Browns have been released.

The pitchers' destination has not been made known; Miller goes to Louisville, while Wares will lead the Wichita club. O'Connor and Magee of the Cardinals have hopped to the Feds. So did Wingo and Perritt, but the latter pair returned to the organized fold. This does not include the youngsters who have been turned adrift. Walter Johnson first hopped from the Nationals to the Feds and then back again.

So did Ray Caldwell of the Yankees. Another is Rube Marquard of the Giants. Jimmy Austin of the Browns was the latest of the double jumpers, being snared by President Hedges last week. The other big Leaguers, who have gone over to Gilmore's body since the close of last season are Bender and Plank of the Athletics, who were unconditional!" released and Deal and Mann of the world's champion Braves. Ed Koney, the former Cardinal, who last season was with the Pirates, will this year line up with the Pittfeds.

Famous Players Pass Out. Ed P.eulbach of the Superbas. Billy Sullivan of the White Sox, Kid Gleason of the White Sox, Jack Coombs of the Athletics, who has signed with the Superbas: Dutch Schaefer of the Nationals, who since has Bone to the Feds; Tommy Leach, Cubs, now with the Reds; Bill Sweeney. Cubs, who Monday signed with the Red Sox; Stack and Smith of the Cubs, Roy Miller, Reds; Josh Devore. Braves; Mike Donlin, Giants, and Fred Carlson, of the Indians have been handed unconditional releases.

Cleveland: Bert Nlehoff. Reds; Du-gev. Braves: High and Pipp, Tigers; Olson, Cleveland, and Ham Hyatt, Pittsburg, are some of the tossers who have been traded Mike Mitchell. Claud Derrick, Bert Daniels. Joseph Kelley and Earl Ylngrllng and Pinit Bodie have been sent to minor league aggregations.

This Is not the entire list of the chances, but it gives an idea to the fans the numerous shifts that have come about since the close of the 1914 season. Smith Five Defeats Ma ana I.

He wants Snodgrass; but the wornout Murray or the rheumatic Bescher are the contributions McGraw is willing to unload.

If the league last year was not of major quality, the additional strength gained Is hardly enough to make it so in 1916. A Precedent at Hand. THE Killefer case furnishes the precedent on which Organized Baseball bases its hopes of retaining all the players lured back after jumping to the Feds. However, it is not believed by Organized Baseball that the Federals will be given a chance to force the Issue in court.

An owner of a major league baseball club told the writer he expected the decision of Judge Landis would order a cessation of all tampering with opposing; clubs after the date of bin derlaloai and that the make-up of all flubs, as regards players, was to remain In status quo from the date of his decision.

Mike Gibbons won a clean-cut victory over Eddie McGoorty last night when, in 10 rounds, he fought the Oshkosh Wonder to a standstill and dazzled him with his lightning work with the gloves and his amazing rapid footwork.

Gibbons had the lead, or at least an even break in every round of the 10. Although McGoorty stood up to his work valiantly and landed hard and often, it was not hard enough or often enough, and the verdict was clearly for the St. Paul battler, who thus earns the best claim to the middleweight title, in dispute since the days of Stanley Ketchel. Gibbons had every round. except the first and eighth, which were even.

McGraw advised Huggins of developments by long-distance telephone from Marlin Springs. If the proper trade is arranged it is believed that the Cardinals will again be a first-division factor.
