Garry Herrmann and Others In the Windy City To Tempt Tinker Baseball Gossip. Chicago, League of January 1T.The Federal Baseball Clubs will'- remain Intact as recently' organized.

It -waa said to-night as a result-of a long' secret meet Ing of the club owners. During' the day many rumors were afloat that the new league was about to break" up. In dissension, but harmony eventually preva.led. The rumor that caused most discussion was that Charles Weeghman, of Chicago, had announced his Intention to withdraw from he Federal League and buy the St. Louis club of the American League.

This threat was due to the reports that other club owners In the Federal League had not made sufficiently energetic efforts to place their teams on a par with major league baseball teams. Ban Johnson, President of the Amerl can League; Charles Ebbets, of Brook lyn, and August Herrmann, of Cincinnati, were In the city all day, attempting. It is said, to Induce Joseph sTlnker sign with Brooklyn, despite his contract already made with the Chicago Federals. Their attempts In this direction were futile. The meeting of the Federal club owners extended far into the night.

After all the kinks had been smoothed out, acccrding to reports that reached the outside, the owners of the Federal clubs discussed ways and means for Insuring success in the struggle, to gain a standing in the baseball world commensurate with the alma outlined when the new league entered the lists with the American and the National leagues. It Was Shaky. Storm clouds settled over the meeting early in the day. Where all was lovely and the magnates apparently pulling together like a well-oiled machine for the purpose of corrrallng big league talent and wrecking the major circuits only a few days ago. there existed" a different spirit.

Weeghman hurled a monkey wrench into the mechanism. Following a long-winded session of the "Fed" official a at the Hotel La Salle, President Weeghman assembled the baseball writers. He told them he was not satisfied with the present conditions in the circuit. In his conversation Mr: Weeghman indicated that he might abandon the idea of hacking a team In this city. "Unless six of the eight teama in the Federal League can show me the goods I will withdraw from the organisation." said President Weeghman.

VI have said before, and repeat now, am into this thing, hook, line and sinker, providing the line-ups are satisfactory, and I can not make this assertion too emphatic However. I am greatly surprised after reading the list of players rounded up by the other cities. Of three teams I have at least one Is stronger than my own. I refer to the Baltimore line-up, and from present Indications Ned Hanlon will start the season with a team that Is stronger, at least on paper, than Chicago." According to reports from Buffalo, To ronto and Indianapolis the men backing clubs in those cities are not financially equipped to meet the obligations laid down by the league. Asked If these three cities would continue in the cir cuit.

Its 'New Tork, January 17. In naming the trl-city cup defender Defiance the man agement of that syndicate has foiU'wed the custom established in 181)3 of giving cup defenders names having eight letters. Oliver Ise.in started this custom and followed it so closely that It has become a superstition that a cup defender must have eight letters in its name. First there, was the Vigilant, followed by the Defender and Columbia. These three yachts outsailed the two Valkyries and the first Shamrock.

When the second Shamrock came the managers neglected to adhere to the custom and chose Constitution as the name of the new defends er. That yacht was not the success she was expected to be and she waa outsai'ed in the trial races by the Columbia, which yacht later successfully defended 'the cup. In the last Series of races in 1003 the Reliance, another eight-letter wurd, was the name of the new yacht. Previous to the eight-letter superstition such namea as Puritan. Mayflower and Volunteer had been used 4y the Eastern yachtsmen interested in those vessels, and befort that any euphonious name was chosen.

Just what the New York Yacht Clab defender will be named is causing some wonder. That yacht, too. may have an eight-letter word, but. if Charles Francis Adams II. Is to have any faith in the yacht which he Is to sail it must have a name of seven letters in which there is the double oo.

Mr. Adams is one of the most skilful amateurs In Eastern waters. but he attributes much of-his success to the potent luck in the combination of seven letters with oo. He owned the forty-footer Gossoon many years ago, and among successful yachts he has owned have been Papoose, Harpoon, "Ty phoon and Monsoon. Charles D.

Mower, tne designer, wno nu also sailed many winners, believes In seven letters and the double s. His best yachts have been the Viteste, winner of the Qulncy Cup. Heiress and Seeress. W. Commodore of the Indian Harbor Yacht Club, must have something to do with Joy In his yachts.

His first racing boat was the Trouble, and he aaya he had trouble then while he was new to the game. His next boat he named More Trouble, and it was appropriately named. Then he had the Joy built, which he said should naturally drive away troutle. and it did for him, as it was a very successful yacht. Since then he has owned the More Joy.

the Joyette, the Joyant and the Joyeuse. He Is to have a new yacht, and it wilt be another Joy of some sort. Lawrence F. Perclval always names his yachts Sally and he has now reached Sally XI. Some yachtsmen name their vessels for members of their own family.

while others make words combining the initials or nyllibles of names. Others run to words of Indian origin, and others, go to mythology, but nearly all have some superstition' about the names of their vessels.

Edward ray- son Weston, the world-famous pedestrian. la arranging a walking contest which, is delared to be unique, in every respect and one which will nave a scientific interest for those who Insist that age brings with it a general inability to perform, even after a fashion; those feats of an atn-leUc nature which a few years back were easy of accomplishment. It developed that at 75 years of age Weston is still doing things in the walking line, and his latest proposal will ap peal to all as one of a most strenuous character. The general proposition 1 a test between youth and old age in a contest on. a measured track.

It Is stated that tne veteran wafer's experience has led him to beueve that man at 40 years is to a man of 65, as 15 years is to 0 years In walking capacity. 0 Waston is about to insUtute a contest where, on the same track a team of men, at. or beyond the sixty-five-year age limit will be pitted against a 'similar number of men," none of whom is over 43 years of age. with a handicapping system based on the allowance of walking time on the track. The tet is to cover a period of six days, and the younger men will be given nine hours each, day In which to gain their total mileage, while the group will have an allowance of 13 hours during each 24 in which to endeavor to equal or beat the efforts of their youthful Five thousand dollars be distributed among the contestants according to the records made, and a simple set of rules which will govern the required minimum distance to be covered will soon be issued.

There Is no doubt that the Haskell ball and develop ments "of this ingenious American better clubs and the and improvement of courses have' made golf easier than it was, say 10 years ago. But has the game become, too The rub-ber-cored ball has done more than anything else to reduce some of the difficu ties of the game. 'The distance which even moderate players can hit the best rubber ball is so absurd that a-oif courses, if desired be a teat of flitting power similar to that, which ruled In the gutta days, would need to be some 900 or 1,000 yards longer. But such a lensth Is out of the question. for a full-length, course of to-day Is quite as long as IK, per cent of golfers care to play on, and a course of yards wou'd be "both too severe a strain on most players, and would take so long to play that It would not be possible for any num ber ot players to get in two rounds in the short aays or the spring and fall.

One can easily imagine what a howr would go up were i.mij yaras io oe aaaea to the courses at BaltusroL, Fox Hllla or Uarden It i not, only in the matter "of lenrth that the modern ball has made the enm less exacting." Practically every- shot Is easier, iron snots in particular. And t. ting the ball to rise quickly out of bad lies an-J with steep faces close in front is now. a comparatively eaBy matter.

New York, January 17. "What has at-to do with golf?" is a question asked on many sides in the course of a season. Th natural answer would be, "Xoth.ng." Yet the developments of the last season show rather conclusively that it has. Francis Ouimet, the amateur who beat Vardbn and Ray, the world-famed British for the open championship of America, is not yet 2L, Jerome D. Trav-ers, four times the national amateur title holder, art accomplishment never' before equaled, is only 27.

Miss Gladys Ravens-croft, the British girl who won the Amer ican title, would not be el.gible to vote if equal suffrage were in order. As In other forms of sport, youth will be served. It is true of srolf. despite the fact that It has been called an "old man's game." When Alexander Milne, the ven erable President of the Scarsdaie Golf and County Club, led the field in the seniors' tournament at Apawamis last. September, on the first day, there was -much ado about the fact that he was years old.

But It was a tournament men of 53 or older, and, great though the Veteran's performance was, it was by no means conclusive in argument that he could outdo the younger element on the links.

BIG FINN RdNNER Not Afraid of Any Athletes, as Is Evidenced By" Challenge. m-ETIAI. DISPATCH TO THI. BXQriBKR. New January 17.

That Hannis Kolehmainen, the hero of the Stockholm Olympic games' and the holder' of innumerable running records, does not fear meet the best amateurs in the world wa made evident when he Lreued a sweeping challenge to run an hour race against a relay team composed, of the four greatest distance runners the United States. Unsolicited he issued the challenge to th' offlclala of the Irish-American Athletic Club, and. asked thera If It would be dos- eibie to arrange such a contest for the A.

Karnes were delighted with the. proposition when It was "put up to them, and aoked Koleh-' -mainen to name the men he was to meet- "BilTy Kramer, Harry Smith. Gaston Stroblno and Sid Leslie," replied the champion. '-The Finn's only condition Is he be allowed to name, the man to-oppose him In the first flfteea-minute relay. By this arrangement Kolehmainen hopes to get a commanding lead in the first quarter of an.

hour of running, and he anticipates with, such an advantage he would be able to hold off the chal lenges made by three fresh runners dur ing th last forty-five minutes of thr The Finn would probably pelect Stfo- blno as his opponent during ahe first fif- i teen, minutes. -Stroblno is a clever plod- der over the three-mile route, but would a be. unable to hold the pace that Hannes would hit up in the first fifteen minutes. The real struggle would take place when the second man of. the relay race came -on the track" to cut down, the lead that the champion had gained over Stroblno.

Kolehma'lnen's desire for an hour race against these -four men is to force himself to the limit of his speed in order to lower the world's, hour, record made by Jean Bouin in the stadium at Stockholm: last year, and also to smash the mark of 11 miles 1,137 yards established by Alfred Shrubb, of, England.
