There was talk of Albany dropping

from Bill Coughlin, the former leader
of Allentown, who is anxious to get
back into the game with his former
partner. George Cockill.
When Cockill and Coughlin were
associated in the management and
part ownership of the old Reading

sequently Cockill went to Harrisburg
ajid Coughlin to Allentown. There
are big money inducements back of
the offer to Manager Cockill and it is
understood he will give his answer
following a visit to Harrisburg on Sat
iirday.
Local backers know nothing official
regarding Manager Cockill's plans.
They do know that offers have been
made by Federal League owners arid
New York State League backers to
Manager Cockill and that he has been
considering an offer from a New York
State League club, presumably Albany,
but until Manager Cockill returns
from Wilkes-Barre they cannot fur
nish any information a-s to the final
result of yesterday's offer from Al
bany.

Cleveland. Ohio. Jan. 29.—Cy Fal
kenberg, Nap pitcher, who is reported
to have signed a Federal League con
tract, gave out an interview In which
he said he is disgusted with the treat
ment he has received under organized
baseball.
"I was whisked away from Cleve
land to the minors when I possessed
major league ability," said he. "I
showed that by leading the American
Association in 1912. In 1913 I came
back and worked under a salary al
most equivalent to that of a recruit
pitcher. And I won twenty-five games
and lost ten for Cleveland in 1913. I
feel that my 'come back' Increased
the profits of the Cleveland club $50,-

me an Increase in salary of $9.38 a
week."
