The forces of organised baseball, though somewhat alarmed by the continued uroeress of the Tedsfure trying to put on. a bold face and a pleasant amile. They announce that they will -battle the Invader to the bitter-end.

declaring that If they cannot beat' them1 and drag the Federal banners in the "dirt, organised ball is not worth keeping alive. President Herrmann yesterday sent out to Governor Tener, of the National (League; Ban Johnson, of the American league, and a large number of ether notables, coptes of the legal opinion rendered by Attorneys Galvln and Kincaid to the that the reserve clause -will kold in law. If this opinion is suHtalned the Courts all clubs, whose Jump to the Feds, can be restrained from playing with that league. Whether the magnates will go so far as to reeort the long grind of the Courts of law to maintain' their hold or the leapers- re mains to be Mr. Herrmann thinks that some of them, at least, will do so.

I believe that the club owners of the National and American Leagues," said the Chairman of the commtsnlon yester day. HI put up a battle for their rights. iAII the players who have jumped to the Fcda did so after signing contracts last year which contained provision for compensation for the club's privilege of nego tiating, with them for the coming, season. That is, part of their salary was directly paid for this privilege, which is not ah arbitrary one, but was agreed to by all players who signed contracts in li13. 1hose who have Juniped have violated this provision of their contracts, to which they voluntarily agreed when they signed.

Tfie best legal opinions are to the effect that they can be-restrained from playing ith any other league. So far "as our own club is concerned I doubt whether we would make any effort to keep Brown, Packard and Wlckland from playina wjth the Feds. These are the only men who have Jumped us, and their loss Is not all serious. B.ut other clubs, who have lst better men, are likely to go to the limit in trying to secure their rights un- fder their with their players. i TMany of those who have jumped have cst large sums of money, and some of the club owners will not give up without a tUht.

If organized ball cannot beat the outlaws it is not worthy of much con- nj'iration." Mr. Herrmann was not surprised or lic-Ved at the desertion of At-WlckUnd. seemed to have little chance of vmak-' Ing'good here, except possibly as a utility Wan. The Red Chief, said that when a youngster like Wickland is hailed as a rf-at find, "it is, a sign that the Fed Jbave niit many star players and have a' tough time competing with the real major-league teams. Cuban Catcher For Beds.

'Armando Marsans wired yesterday from Havana that lie has secured the signature of Miguel Gonzales to a Red contract and the Cuban catcher will come to 'Alexandria with him next month. Gon zalez has had a little big league experi ence, having been with the Boston Nationals for a while a year ago last fall. Owing to his inability to speak or understand Knglish, he was released by Bos ton and caught last season for the Long Branch, N. team. He was easily the tar of the New York and ew Jersey League.

He hit in. Do games and had :) fielding chances, with only 12 error This winter he has been catching for the Havana club and is hitting gainst the crack Cuban twirlers. Oonzalez is a wonderful thrower. In fact, Ejll Sweeney, Captain of the Bos tan, says he was the best-throwing backstop that team had he was released. Marsans is some base-runner.

out Gonzalez repeatedly gets him at second by ten feet or more. Marsans Is sponsor, for him and Gonzalez is the only Cuban player he ever recommended for fast company, as the Red outfielder isery conservative. Gonzales was offered a fat contract by the Federal League, but Frank Bancroft kept him from signing It when he. was down there a couple, of weeks ago and thus saved him for "the Reds. The new.

War between the Federal League and organized baseball will continue until the latter receives the new circuit into its fold, according to Secretary Lloyd RU'kart, of the federals. Rickart said to-day that the Federals would continue next year their raids on the players now with organized ball whete-e contracts expire at the end of this season. There are enough of these to cripple the big leagues more seriously than the pres ent raid ill do if they jump, said the Secretary.

While the Federal League believes it self safe from countermids because Ha recently acquired stars are under contract mainly for three years. The situation at the end of the season will be such as to force recognition from the American and National Leagues, and as a third big league the Federal will operate on equal terms with the others in 1V13. its promoters believe.

But there as no undue excitement over the occurrence. The two men who have come such a distance in quest of American pugilistic talent did not tear up the street shouting to unemployed bruisers to gather around and listen to the unprecedented offers that it was desired to place before them.

Each of the gentlemen from urrln" parts" knew that the other was around, and each preserved a calm. untalkaUve demeanor. Possibly when they get their bearings the words will fly. As between the two men. "Snowy" Baker and "Billy" Howe, the former is the bigger figure in the world of a port.

Then there was "the citizens' banquet" to Baker prior to his taking the steamer for this end. Like all British -banquets, it began with the saying of grace and ended with the singing of "the national anthem," but In between such complimentary things were said about our "enterprising fellow citizen- that "Snowy's" BALL TEAM play, and that they were an attraction always looked forward to.

Little Johnnie Coulon has stopped funning. Stung by deserved criticism and ridicule, bantamweight champion promises to come to the roast and defend his title against the winner of the echeduled twenty-round go between Johnny Williams a ltd Eddie Campi, which takes place Saturday afternoon In the Vernon arena the Pacific A. C. The following telegram signalized temporarily, at least, the stop of the sprinting champion: "Chicago, January 29. "Reports sent West do me great injustice.

Boxed Sinnett with fractured hand after fourth round, otherwise would have scored knockout sure. You must consider that this was my first bout In six months. "Regarding, the Williams-Campi bout being for the championship, how can it done? I won the title by defeating every bantamweight that had a claim to Once before was my title disputed when Mr. McCarey hung up a diamond belt for the winner of the Attell-Conley bout. Later I twice whipped Conley, proving conclusively that I was the champion.

"I will box the winner of the Campi- Promoters Search of Talent theefcs must have burned and his ears must have tingled. And who do you think presided? No less a dignitary than the Lord Mayor of Sydney. Such la fame. But. while "Mother' Howe may be under when tt comes to presenting credentials, he may have that at his command which will place him on an even keel with "Friend Snowy." For this above all age Is an age when money talks.

For a few days Howe and Baker will rest and look over the ground. Then they will begin to bid. And the one who bids the highest will command the more attention, providing he Is backed by the right kind of securities and. providing further, he can show the fighters he Is a fellow who can get them more money by going abroad than they can by remaining at home. Baker says he Is after the best In the market.

Howe says the same. Baker says he will be satisfied if he signs up a small number of really good men. Howe delivers himself of similar sentiments. Baker says that when he unfolds himself to the men he seeks to deal with the men will be more than satisfied that the offers are genuine and the money secure. Howe expresses himself so similarly that his words seem an echo of Snowy's.

And so matters stand until bidding begins. One of the passengers returning from Australia by the Sierra had some Interesting things to tell about the Eddie Mc-Goorty-Dave Smith match at Sydney on New-Year's Day. Smith, ft will be re membered, was knocked out In quick order by McGoorty once before in New York. Dave said it was McGoorty's long left rip that did the trick and that McGoorty would not be able to repeat the performance In a thousand years. "iou could tell that McGoorty had the Indian sign on Smith when they came from their corners in, the Sydney match." said the man who came back on the Sierra.

"Dave came to the scratch witn his tight guard held high and he looked anything but confident. McGocrty, on the other hand, was as cool as a cucumber, even though It was his first match in a strange country. As Eddie left his chair he found that his belt was loose and he ordered one of his seconds to come and tighten it. "He turned his back on Smith and kept hmi waiting perhaps 'half a minute. And.

take It from me, this did not improve Smith's chances. Dave was fldcetv and some of his friends claimed later that It was all a trick of McGoorty's to? rattle Smith. when the referee finally motioned them together McGcortjr walked close to Smith and knocked him kicking with -the same left swing hit accomplished the New Zealander downfall in New York. It was the first blow struck. Smith was knocked down three times In all and I don't think I ever saw as much punishment compressed Into a minute wnd thirty seconds of boxing."

All wire reports received in the -West credited" Johnny with outboxing Sinnett. The Chicago 'boy need 'not' peeve in this condition. The VCampl-Williams go Is not being billed as a championship card.

Promoter McCarey Is too "big" a man to attempt small down trick of this nature. Coulon's right to the bantamweight title is not disputed. Criticism of -Johnny has been because the fact that for over a year he has Ignored high-class men like Williams, Campi and Ledoux and refused to defend his title. If Johnny will step, out in the open and behave-like a champ It) he will be treated with all the respect due to- his position. Otherwise he must expect to hear some uncomfortable mention of himself.

"If I win on Saturday I will sign up with Coulon under-any terms the -champion may name." said' Williams to-night.
