EVENING MD0BIV--PHILADELPHIA, TUE8DAy, JUNE 12, 19JT
ffi 'ttatto wWtt NOT WTSE TO MOST PLAYS, BUT THEY KNEW THAT MR. PEPPERMADE A HI
FED-O. B. BALL CONTEST STAGED
, DESPITE SOGGY WEATHER, BUT NO
RUNS SCORED IN OPENING ROUNDS
Early Play in Noted Breach of Promise Suit
. Alleging" Lacerated Feelings Viewed by Meager
But Highly Intelligent Assemblage
fpHERE'S one good thins about baseball lawsuits and other Indoor sports: They
J are held rain or shlno. Yesterday, while tho leak from the leaden iky made It
Impossible to hold a. ball game, the remnanta of tho Federal League put up a game
battle against Organized Baseball In tho United Btates District Court to collect a
tnertj trine UJco 1900,000 just becauso their feelings had boon hurt. Two Innings
tvero played In tho celebrated breach of promlso affair and neither side was ablo to
novo ft tally, across tho plato. Several times thero were' men on basos, but quick
doubto plays ruined the chances to score. It was predicted that somo one might
knock & home run and end the game In tho first Inning, but alt of tho heavy
baiters whiffed.
It waa an unusual sccno when the baseball moguls gatherod at the bar of
justice. On the playing field, which wan Inclosed by a short but strong railing, aat
tho big chiefs of our national pastlmo. Thoro wero Dan Johnson, John Tenor,
Garry Herrmann, Branch nickey, Connie alack, Vllllam P. Daker and Thomas S.
fihlbo on ono aide, seated bohlnd tholr counsol. On tho other sldo wero the plaintiffs,
hearted by 1 Edwin Goldman and Attorney Janney. The attendance, while intelli
gent, waa small, but the bleachers wero crowded with twelve men, good and truo,
who will render tho final decision nt tho homo plate. Judge Dickinson acted as
referee, or umpire, or whatovor It was. Thoro was no cheering, because only Intrlcato
plays wero attempted and tho fans In the grand stand didn't know what waa happen.
lng, anyway. Gcorgo Wharton Pepper had a porfoct batting average, making a hit
t bis first time at bat. Tho others wero credited with assists.
THE caso was an important ono and created qulto a llttlo Interest among
tho big leaguo ball playcm now roosting In our midst. All of thoso high
priced guys wero present except the membors of tho AthlotlCi and Detroit
clubs.
Federal League Still Lives; Same Goes for Players' Fraternity
THE most otartllng disclosures of tho day wero mado In tho nftornoon session
they played two games whon ono witness, n Mr. Goldman, of Baltimore,
testified that tho Federal Leaguo still won alive nnd hnd not dissolved. This caused
qulto a furoro and tho gontleman occupying seat No. 11 In tho bleachers was aroused
from a sound sloop. Ho was awakened a nocond time when Davo Fultz took tho
stand and In answer to a question said that ho was a lawyer nnd his occupation waa
president of the Baseball 1'Iayers Fraternity. This also won sensational. But tho
game waa callod at this Juncturo to allow tho bleuchcritcs to go homo for an early
dinner. Morning and afternoon battles will bo fought today.
From what we gleaned from tho legal phraseology spilled In the courtroom, the
Baltimore remnants of tho Feds allego that they woro stung whon tho peace pact
waa signed with Organized Baseball. In fact, ono witness said that tho other seven
membors of tho leaguo did not consult Baltlmoro when they closed tho deal and It
Was left out In the cold. This looks as If tho seven clubs In the Federal Leaguo
should bo held Uablo for tho poaco stuff, but It's hard for an outsldor to dopo things
out. Another thing which scorns apparent Is that un effort will bo made to provo
that Organized Bosoball Is a harsh, grasping, slavo-drlvlng trust nnd monopoly nnd
the Simon Legrco methods employed by tho magnates would put anything on tho
blink. O. B. wants to provo that thero Is no violation of tho Sherman net and this
Is tho chanco to wipe It off tho books forovor. In order to provo this, contraots will
be shown and the club presidents and managors will occupy tho witness stand.
There will bo somo big doings beforo tho Inst Inning Is played.
Harry Covclcskie, Pitching Paladin, Is With Us
NUMBERED among Ravin's nabobs who nro entertaining tho hoi pollol at Mr.
Shlbe's extensive playground Is Harry Covelesklo, tho P61lsh Paladin. Covlo Is
Willing to tamp down a bet that tho guy who wheozos through with tho airy persi
flage that all the world loves a lover was born blind and grew hard of hearing In
early life. And thereby, its tho lamented nnd tottorlng Klpyard Itudllng would
eay, hangs a talo. Nine years ago tho southpawlng Slav kicked Into tho national
fracas from, some llttlo town whoro only thrco things happen breakfast, dinner
and supper. It was ono of thoso quaint burgs on tho Lehigh Valloy, where tho Black
Diamond Express doesn't oven hesitate, and to find It you have to got a gazottcer
and hire an expert explorer. How Covelesklo was lassoocd Into tho national pas
time Is Boroolhlng that must bo nnswored by Billy Murray, tho Peerless Prince of
Ivory Investigators. But ho camo, ho saw and ho conquered the Giants threo
games in ftvo days and plastered his mug in tho Gallery of the Great and slipped
Into a furnished flat In tho Halls of tho Heroes.
Nine years ago, as you woll wot, was tho hcctlo year of tho great national
fracas, with the Pirates, Giants and Cubi sliding down the homestretch so close
that they could hear each other breathing In tholr ears. Tho Slberlaed McGraw
was leading tho New Yorks, and ho had among his hirelings Fredcrlco Merklo,
Who perpetrated Baseball's Boniest Bono. This was tho tlmo ho Ignored second on
Harry McCormlck's pinch slnglo that gavo Troyjohn Evcrs and Alert Artlo Hot
mail a chanco to Immortalize Merklo and ruin a perfectly good gonfalon for tho
Joynts.
rpHB Glants-flnally curbed tho mad rush of tho Corsairs, but whon Mor
A decai Brown and Christy Mathewson wero sewodup In tho oxtra
'I season duol Mr. Joscphus Tinker plastered Matty all ovIthe lot nnd tho
f Cubs gatherod the burgee.

SCBJBES of tho Now York vintage took tholr pens In hand, dipped them Into
"vlttfoliond proceeded to strew tho osseous Frederick's corpus delicti nil over the
porting" pages. He waa as popular with thom as tho Kaiser Is In Belgium, and
the mention of Merklo'a naxno In dally dobato had tho samo soothing effect as a
ertmson, petticoat to an Indolent bull. But whllo tho consensus, of opinion In
Gotham-was that tho negligent Merklo had slaughtered tho 00-to-l shot that the
Mto of Manhattan's Exile would cop tho gaudy blazon, tho real follow who cosed
the) liorpoon Into the Barons of Coogan's Bluff was tho redoubtable Pole. Cove
Ieatdeat that particular epoch In his chookorod caroer was hltehod to tho payroll
of tb Phillies. He southpawed tho Giants Into tho "It" column three times In five
d&yev-end when Covlo finished this Halg & Halg stunt tho Giants stood no better
hanoe of winning tho pennant than n. brass monkey has of playing tho pipes.
Wnen Covlo succeeded In carving Mr. McGraw and his high-priced troupe
tato a lot of has-beena tho sporting pages of this and neighboring hamlots took it
trpon themselves to peer into tho future, nnd their prophecies proved as woll-nlgh
tho-truth as the happy predictions of tho Christmas dinner that tho Kaiser failed to
order In gar Paree. Tho scriveners saw Covclosklo pushing tho eccentric Rube
Waddelr-off the-peroh, devoted to the greatest southpaw curving tho spheroid, and
their predictions wore all right excopt for ono little fault they wero all wrong.
Covie started tho season nnd finished It right thero. Ho was released and sent
Bouth, and nobody; culled the reason from tho astuto and sllont Murray until one
day he released the yarn, and hero she goes.
Covie, it appeared, had two dissipations In the llttlo town whero morning, noon,
and night mado up tho sohedulo for the burg. Ho was fooling tho darts of D.
.Cupid, and the dartee, bo to speak, was a wren with a name that In tho original
looked, like, a roll of muslo and was sneezed when you said It. Also, Covlo was
curseoVby his doslro to play n mail-order oornet that somebody had tipped him to
With a desire to make a musician out of tho southpaw. Now, It happened that when
the days work: woo done and Covlo had hung up his pick and blown out his miner's
lamp ho hied himself homeward, stacked away his end-of-the-day diet nnd then
rigged himself out llko a Poraojanlan pup In Ulttenhouse Square Ho loped over
the highways) until he reached thVwfcor that stood outside of his senorlta's cabin
and then he uncorked tho cornet, took a long breath and lot the screechlest
cornet serenade) be dragged out of tho ono-dollar-down-and-nothlng-a-week in
strument Love's Young Dream Shattered by lee Water
filHB wren stood for this for somo llttlo tlmo and caroled back to tho dulcet strains
J-of tho horrible comet, but tho parent rooster was a Polo and had tho some
temperamental interest In a miner who pjayed tho cornet ns a hungry bulldog
trying to enjoy a Molssonlor. One night, after Harry had tuned up and almost
started a lynching party, tho old man crept slowly but willfully up tho back stairs,
and, seeing Jano with her soul in her eyes, grabbed a bucket of water for emergency
purposes. He waited until Covie hit one sonata that sounded like a sow having her
teeth pulled, and BLOOIEl Tho Ice pitcher was handed to love's young dream,
whllo Covie went home looking like tho main flsh in "Twenty Thousand Leagues
Under the Sea.
The story raced around the little town, where you couldn't even keep your
temper, and Covlo was glad to beat It from the sticks for the white lights of Broad
and other arteries here. Well, to tho talo. It seems that after Covie had made the
pennant chances of the Giants look like a three-legged horso trying to win the
Suburban, the Banished Banshee of the Big Town, went on a still hunt. lie bumped
Into a chap who hailed from the Bame shovel of dirt as Coveleskte, and to McGraw
this gent tipped the story of the cornet and the inamorata.
So, when Mr. Covelesklo started against the Giants early next season Mr.
JicGraw'fl serfs simply waltzed around the real estate making grotesque imita
tions of a bloke blowing a mall-order cornet. The thing got to Covie and it worried
him to such an extent that he didn't even have a bowing acquaintance with the
plate and couldn't win a ball name from the Old Soldiers' Home. , So Murray bought
him a one-way ticket to Chattanooga, and he was still laboring there when Jen.
nlngs brought him to the Jungle.
i.
13? IB said that the spectacle of a brass, band send Covelesklo into the air
even now. an4 at the opening-day festivities they have to put blinders

Under Pressure
Come, gather 'round mc, little ones,
And pivc heed to my song;
I may detain vou quite a while,
And maybe not so long;
I have no idea just now
What I intend to say,
And yet I feel tluo time ia ripe
To kick in with this lay.
There's no dope left on Tris or Ty,
On Matty or McGraw;
The Johnson boost is overplayed
And should be stopped by law.
Tho Daker punch is ancient stuff,
Like jeering at the Reds;
And panning magnates long ago
Was good for big-type heads.
So, littlo ones, you may disperse,
I've had my little say;
There way 6c something new to ehoot,
In six or seven years, perhaps,
We'll have a newt fresh crack;
Some sprightly dope in which we moan
For "Wagner going back."
"TTOW many players," queries n. fan,
J-l "aro left In the big leagues who wcrp
regulars ten years agrj as far back as
1007?"
About as many as a normal citizen can
count upon the fingers of his two fins. In
tho National League thero aro Evers,
Ames, Wagner, Doylo and maybe one or two
more.
In tho American League left aB regulars
thero aro Cobb, Plank, Johnson, Collins.
Ten years Is no great span in any other
profession. In baseball It Is about two
years beyond the average career of the
player. And eight years Is giving the aver
age all the best of It.
Ono might figure that the average player
who was able to pike along would frequent
ly Inst longest. But the long btaycrs are
nearly all the leading stars men llko Wag
ner Lajole, Mathewson. Tlank, Evers, John
son Cobb, Crawford. The player with only
an average snowinK u "lu jio ,. v.. .
far over the winding highway Is Red Ames.
Red has never been rated as any great
nltcher. He has never been listed as one of
the stars. But, after thirteen years)' service,
ho Is still around, doing his bit without any
vast trouble.
poor old Hans! Just as he Is well

In twenty-two years, they lure him away
from his hearthside by hanging up a Daso

a drunkard who Is trying to swear off.
It may bo that the American publlo
may be lured Into depositing J50.000 or
J7B 000 to see Carl Morris and Jess

sucker iccord is In tho Fall Guy circuit,
there must bo some ultimate limit. It
.wa m one., it will be a Morrls-Wlllard
fight If this doesn't act as the concluding
UmiC then tho bottom ia out, and there's
no limit left
Tho Record
It has been said that "hell hath no fury
llko a bunkered duffer." But tho fury
record Is at least tied by the citizen who
has a hunch on a certain horso. and Is then
steered away to wager on another, only to
have the original hunch come through.

I'd like to riit and clout 'em.

Quite likely there may he a batsman with
a greater combination of grace and effi
ciency than Tris Speaker. But bo far we
haven't piped him advancing through the
midst. Trls Is not only a great hitter; In
addition, he has a style as clear and clean
and rhythmically timed as any batter who
ever lived or died. While on the long
average not as great a hitter as- Cobb or
Wagner, he Is far more graceful than
either. Ty and Hans are efficient workmen,
but neither has the ease and poise at bat
which belong to the smashing Texan, who
gives you the Idea as he stands at the plate
that ha could hit any ball pitched anywhere

iiTTID WILLIAMS Is the greatest piece
Iv-of fighting machinery I ever have
teen, and he should defeat Pete Herman in
the slx-round bout at the Olympla A. A. on
Wednesday night."
This Is the state
ment mane by
Johnny Kllbane
last week when
asked to give his
views on the big
b a n t a mwelght
scrap to be staged
on South Broad
street. The feath
erweight o h a m
plon Is a great
admirer of the
former bantam
boss and cannot
see how he can
lose.
"While I havo
never seen Her
man In action,"
he continued, "I
do not believe he
t a ennA AJl Wil
liams. The Kid Is a great battler and I
know It. becauso I boxed six rounds with
him a couple of years ago. Ho gave me
one of the tougheBt fights of my career and
I always shall remember It. His punches
to the body wero vicious and his defense
Is superb. The only thing wrong with him
Is that he doesn't vary his attack enough.
Ho tears In and begins to pound tho body
but seldom whips his right to tho Jaw when
his opponent's guard drops. If he only uses
his head against Herman he should win
easily.
Expects a Knockout
"I would not be surprised to see Williams
knock out Herman In that six round bout
He has Just as good a chanco to put over
a haymnkcr as Leonard In tho Welsh bout,
and tnko It from me, ho will bo trying all
of tho time You can quoto mo ns saying
that Kid Williams will win and If ho doesn't
I'll bo tho most surprised person In the
world "
This is the first time Kilbane has at
tempted to pick a winner In a big bout, and
his Judgment should bo taken seriously.
He has been In tho ring with tho formor
champion and was unablo to put him away
In six rounds. And that bout, by tho way,
recalls a feature which cvidentlly has been
ovorlooked. Williams weighed moro than
Johnny whon they stepped Into tho ring that
night Each weighed under 122 pounds.
"I havo never been troubled with tho
weight Question," said Kllbnno In answer to
a question. Tho featherweight limit is easy
and I can go even lower than that Ho you
know how much I weighed when I won the
championship from Abe Attcll? You'd
never guess It In a million years. I weighed
exactly 116 pounds and Atlell tipped the
beam at 117.
