Sad news for Dan O'Leary of Orion, 111. At least, Steve will not be laboring for Tearney if the Federal league makes a go of it. President Gilmore of the Feds announced yesterday that he had added Cusack to his staff of umpires. Garnet Bush of Davenport is another arbiter who is going to the Federals. Bush has worked in the Three-I, the Texas, and the International leagues.

Year be-jfore last he was in the National league until his fatted calf got in the way of a two-base hit and lost a game for Jawnie McGraw. Last season he i worked in the Pacific Coast leagu. In addition to Cusack and Bush, Gilmore says ho has also signed Monte iCross the old shortstop of Connie Mack's team, who has been umpiring in minor leagues recently, and "Brick" Owens, the umpire of the National and 'International and American association. These with Brennan, who i jumped from the Nationals to the iFeds day before yesterday, give Gilmore live of his staff to begin with. Ford Goes to Feds The names of two more major league bill players were added to the list of the Federal league yesterday.

Kussell Ford of the New York Americans, considered one of the star spit-ball hurlers of the game, has cast his lot with the "outlaws," supposedly with Joe Tinker's team here, and Edgar Willett, one of the strong slab-men of the Detroit team, has deserted organized ball for a berth with Mor-decai Brown's "Feds" in St. Louis. The news of these two "players did not come from the headquarters of the Federal league, but was announced by President Johnson of the American league, and judging from the talk of the A. L. boss the two pitchers and any others who desert for the Federal league never will have a chance to get back should the Federal league blow up.

Brown Grabs Off Willett "Ford has been signed two or three Idays," said Johnson, "and Willett has been with the Federals even longer. The latter was on his way south to the spring training camp of the Tigers and stopped over in St. Louis. There he met Mordecai Brown and was induced to jump, and I have know about it for some time.

Murphy is responsible for the organization of the Federal league. The president of the Chicago National League club is to blame for the large organization. These statements were made yester day by Frank Chance, manager of the New York American League club and formerly manager of the Chicago Cubs. "Charley Murphy," said Chance, "has done more to hurt baseball than 'any other man who has been in the in all the years that the sport has flourished. You can mark my words well because he is going to jinti tmiin 1 1 ln nn Ahlnni Klrt riorum tion of the national commission.

"Charles Weeghman, one of he backer8 of the Cnlca0 Federal league teaH was for years an ardent Cub rooter. He soured on Murphy and so did thousands of other patrons of the WMt hall nnrk West Side ball park "Now, just a few words about the way Murphy handles ball players. When Evers was in poor health one spring Murphy found out that he would not be able to play the entire season. He wired me while the team was In Pittsburgh to that effect. And right there Murphy showed his hand.

"Evers, who had been with the team for years and who had played great ball, would not have received a cent of salary that year if Murphy had had his way. "Murphy in his message said that ne cia not. oeneve e.vers snouia uraw his pay for. the season. I would not stand for giving Evers a raw deal of that sort, and Johnny got his salary, i fm.

The contest committee of the Aero Club of America yesterday awarded the race to the Kansas City Aero club, which agreed to offer $7 200 prize free pas to the entrants and tq all arrangements for handling the event The Aero Club of America had the privilege of making the award bv vlr- tue of the victory of Ralph Upson, American in the International race from Paris last year. Upson in the balloon Goodyear landed in England after covering approximately 400 miles in 20: 00.

Upson and Capt. H. E. Honeywell, the American pilot, who finished second last year, will be offered the opportunity of being two of the United States team of three to enter the 1914 race, it was announced by Alan R. Hawley, chairman of the committee.

As Upson and Honeywell outdistanced all their foreign rivals last year, the contest committee considered they earned the right to represent their country at home if they desired to do so. II inker Siehi With Brooklyn NEW YORK. Jan. 21. "Nap" Ruck-er has signed a three year contract to play with the Brooklyn Nationals.

This announcement, made yesterday by Vice President Edward McKeever, put to rest the rumors that the star left hander would jump to the Federal league. The signed contracts of Pitcher Allen. Catcher Fischer, Third Baseman Smith, and Catchers Hek-inger and McCarthy have been received. Two Brooklyn semi-professional pitchers, Neynnhouse and Pennington, were ordered to report for trial at the spring training camp of the Dodgers. All of the Brooklyn team have signed now except Joe Tinker.

Despite His rrotexts, Clarence's Nam is Still Foremost In Discussion of the Prospects Though Clarence Rowland of Dubuque InBists ho la done with baseball und has remarked out loud that the offers he has received from other clubs thus far have not been sufficient to induce him to change his mind, Peoria declares he Is one of the leading candidates for the position of manager of the Distillers in 1914. Many prospective managers have submitted thejr terms to the Peoria directors. The Peoria papers yesterday announced that the entries had been boiled down to three, and that a decision would be reached within twenty-four hours. The Star says: "Vice President J. W.

McDowell returned to the city Monday and immediately informed the directors that a meeting would bo held at onco to take action upon the matter. It Is said that his absence from the city has withheld the information from the public, but the meeting to be held Is expected to reveal several things that will be greatly appreciated by the funs. Rowland Is Choice "Only one of the propositions submitted is known, and that one is Indefinite. The directors admit that Rowland has made them an offer for handling the club, but will not give any details as to the manner in which the arrangements can be completed. It is thought, however, that Rowland will bring several players to the city should he bo given charge of the team.

He recently disposed of his interest in the Dubuque club to Forrest Plnss, his partner, and Is now a a free agent and open to sign in any city he chooses. The other twu offers for the club are being considered and may be accepted by the directors, but Rowland's knowledge of Three-I conditions is extremely likely to give him the preference. "Whichever one of the three men under consideration Is accepted, he will be asked by the directors to come at once to Peoria and begin operations. The late start that the local club is getting In putting a club In the race will make it doubly hard for the manager and the directors wIkIi the matter to be taken up at once. "In addition to the new men whom the new manager is expected to bring to Peoria, there are ten men on the Distillers reserve list who will be with the club when the training season starts.

These men are Malloy, Pren-dergast, Alberts, Velle, lirewer, Schall. Desmond, Walliser, Fountain and three who are suspended for failure to report here."
