Carro, of the Buffalo club and President James A.

Gllmore of the Federal league, over the telephone from Chicago last night. Ford is the third player: it he secured hy the local club and east- the greatest of the three. Schlafly saidithat the local club had to guarant-p ForVf a big salary and to pay htm a large In advance before he would sign. Negotiations between the local cl'Jb and Rftrd have been pending for three weeks nnd It was thought almost daily for past week that the news of Ford signing would be ready for the local fans. i Ford Made Final terms.

Including long runs, field goal kicks, high scores nnd other peculiar gridiron feature Longest Kick of Year. 52 Yards. The- longest goal from the Meld was a place kick of fifty-two yards scored by Carl Woodward of Tulane university against St. Ixiuls university.

The honor of the longest drop kick scoring a goal goes to a school boy. James M. Porter of McKenxle school, who In a game against Harkley school, sent the ball spinning over the liar forty-five yards distant. The longest goal from a drop kick by a college player In 113 was the forty three-yard goal of H. A.

Saier were to fracture a limb. Willie Kitrliie claims that hla trndon season, however, he fell away below his form and Ian a miserable season, winning thirteen games and losing tventy-one. However, this record is tot truly indicative of Ford's present ability nor does it show, to a small degree, that lie Is. in baseball parlance, an "In and outer." For th greater part of last seat-on Ford wis backed by one of the worst teams that ever entered a major league baseball park, without paying for that permission. Ragged support in the Held was burled? by more miserable offensive support at the bat.

What Cobb Says of Ford. Cobb. in his tlrst instalment of "Busting 'Em," which appeared in last Sunday's Courier, said that Ford "was one of the nest pitchers that 1 have ever net. He has superb control, is always cool and studies his batter with rare skill before delivering the hall. He is one of the great pitchers of the game." Schlafly said last night that incorporation pape-rs of the local club were mailed to Albany yesterday and that as scon as notice of Incorporation had been received the local club would push matters along at a rate as speed as possible.
