FEDS AGAIN BUBY ;
SIGN CHARLEY DEAL
Plan Big Meeting in the East
With the Minor League
Owners
Special to The Telegraph
New York, Jan. 30. —President J. A.
Gilmore, of the Federal League yes
terday held a long conference with R.
B. Ward, president of the Brooklyn
Federal League Club. Later on he
met Charles Deal, third baseman of
the Boston world's champions and
announced that Deal had signed a
two-year contract to play with the St.
Louis Federals.
Charlie Deal won fame in the
world's series last fall by stepping
into the breech at third base after
Smith was injured and made the jump
because of a disagreement over sal
ary. Manager Stallings set the price j
he thought Deal was worth, naming
a slight advance over his salary of last
season, and President Gaffney said ho
would not. increase it. It is under
stood Deal was told every club In the
National league had waived claim to
his services.
The case of Leslie Mann, outfielder,
is similar to that of Deal. He is dis
satisfied with a proposed Increase in
salary, and a few days ago told Presi
dent Gaffney he would join the Fed
erals.
Gilmore stated that his trip East
was principally for the purpose of at
tending a meeting of club owners and
other interested parties in New Eng
land which will be held at New Haven
to-morrow for the purpose of estab
lishing a Federal minor league.
FRATERNITY MAKES KICK
Not in Favor of Making American
Association .Major Body
Special to The Telegraph
New York, Jan. 30.—President
David L. Fultss, of the Baseball Play
ers' Fraternity, announced last night
it was not likely that the organization
of players would approve of the pro
motion of the American Association
Class AA to a major league standing
by dropping the draft rule.
Mr. Fultz pointed out that if the
American Association cities could sus
tain a major league standard and pay
major league salaries there would be
no question about the matter. But it
they were not able to keep up a major
league standard, which is hardly prob
able, it would mean that the players
would be bottled up in the league,
with no chance of advancement to the
major leagues.
President Fultz said that if the
draft rule is suspended the clubs
would be at liberty to sell any of their
players they saw fit, and this condi
tion would not be popular with the
baseball public in the different cities.
RELEASE "JOSH" DEVORE

vore, termed the "luckiest man in
baseball" because of his connection

the Boston Nationals to-day. A de
sire to allow him to sell bis services
In the best market was given as the
reason for the release of the little out
fielder. Devore has played also with
with Cincinnati and Philadelphia
teams of the National League.
The Boston club received word that
Walter Tragesser, a catcher, who was
with the Birmingham, Southern
League team last year, had signed a
contract with the Braves.

Like a refreshing breeze from the

popular of permanent stock stars.
She has held engagements at Chicago.!

it was while tilling the position of'
leading lady in the etock company at |
Lincoln, Neb., that the story of her j
wonderful chain came eastward and
she was immediately engaged by
Nathan Appell as leading lady for
the Chatterdon company.
Miss Bushnell hus made quite a
name for herself by her convincing
and consistent portral of emotional:
parts. Although very young, she has •
acquired an ability that comes usually I
only with long years of work, and
sometimes never conies at all. She is' 1
rather small, of excellent figure, and '
I possesses a round, rich, sympathetic |
'voice which is always under perfect
control. Her well graduated tones go
far toward creating that indefinable
something called atmosphere.
Miss Bushnell will be seen in the
leading feminine roles in all of the
plays presented by Mr. Chatterdon
and his company next week. She will

ORPHISUM
With the passing of this week's show
at the Orpheum we miss the oppor
tunity to not only see Miss Clayton's
act. but a long list of strongly balanc
ed Keith acts that proved a very popu
lar combination. After Immense suc
cesses with the Ziglieid's Follies, Jo
seph Bart's great comedy novelty en
titled "The Telephone Tangle," has
taken to the vaudeville stage. The
comedy of this attraction will appeal
to all classes, for it deals with en
tanglements ip telephone service and
most everybody who lias ever used the

ups. Owing to the fact that next week
Is anniversary' week at the Orpheum,
the management made an unusual ef
fort to make the bill a pleasing one.
Accordingly. Brlndamour, the Handcuff
King, who, six years ago, plunged into
the icy waves of the Susquehanna off
Walnut street ridge, was secured to
add his turn as the added attraction of
a bill that inaugurates the Orpheum's

will do next week is a secret. His of
fering this year is far different from
that In which ho appeared here before,
but nevertheless. It may be described
as a sensation. The three Leigh tons,
who were favorites here before, will
