Mordecai Says He Has Understanding With Murphy;
Will Pitch in Turn Only.
Terre Haute, Ind., Feb. 28. Mordecai
Brown is about ready to put his name
to the papers which will bind him to pitch at least one more year for the Cubs. The three-fingered pitching marvel, who is visiting his old home at Rosedale. admitted as much today. He
tried to talk favorably of the business
proposition which he thinks might keep him away from the former cham
pions, but In almost the same breath
admitted that he and President Murphy ''had practically agreed upon terms.
"If the deal with Al Tearney for the
two new cafes go through I'll not play baseball this year," said Brown. "The

Salmon, Brown and Glpe are showing
the most ability. When informed that

PURDUE MAY
MEET COLUMBIA
Iafayette, Ind., Feb, 28. There Is a strong possibility that the Purdue university basketball quintet, which
claims the "big eight" ; championship,
will hook up with the Columbia unl
versity five, champions of the east. In
a series to decide the national title.
Negotiations are said to be under way
for a game here and one to be held In

Los Angeles. Feb. 23. Stating blunt
ly his belief that Abe Attell had dellb-
ately forged his name to a telegram, Jim Jeffries yesterday repudiated In de
tail every move that he Is alleged to have made in the former featherweight champion's behalf after Attell was de
feated by Johnny Kilbane.
Returning from a three days' hunt
ing trip Into the mountains, Jeffries sent for Referee Charles F. Eyton and
the writer, and in the presence of his brother. Jack Jeffries, made the follow
ing statement:
"Eyton's decision was Just and the
only one possible. Kilbane honestly de
feated Attell and earned the world's featherweight championship. I con
gratulated Eyton upon his decision Im
mediately after the battle, expressed my surprise that Attell had 'gone back so far and since that time have talked of the fight with nobody, except Attell, whom I advised to keep still, as he had
been "beaten by a "better boy and It would do him no good to squeal.
'The morning following the contest
I left before daybreak for the moun
tains. Imagine my surprise when I re
turned to the city yesterday to learn
that a telegram purporting to have
been sent by me, had been received by
Jim Coffroth to the effect that Attell should have had a draw and should
still be recognized as the champion.
"Attell lived at my home while he
was here. lie and I are the best of friends, but I will not stand for methods of this kind. Such action Is not
only unsportsmanlike, but is dishonest
and will only give Attell another black
eye with the public.
"It looks as though Attell 'put one
over' on me, his good friend. Abe
knew that I wouldn't be back in town
for several days and he probably figured that he could get away with this questionable play, relying upon my
good nature not to deny the message. I haven't sent a wire through either the Western Union or Postal Telegraph companies, and I authorize Mr. Eyton
to call upon these companies for an inspection of any telegram bearing my signature sent during the past week."
CONTRACT iv v?
tn;; v'i ,i. "
proposition iooks better to me than a
Job with the Cubs. On the other hand
if this business venture does not materialize, I may play ball this season. "I had a long talk with President Murphy recently and I think we understand each other pretty well. If I play there Is one thing that I'll Insist on. I want an arrangement which will provide for my pitching in my regular turn and no oftener. "Folks think that I am going back, but they do not stop to think that when a pitcher Is doing two men's work, the strain makes a difference. I know I am not all In by a long shot."
CONGRATULATIONS.
The Hammond basketball team is exceedingly proud of the following letter received by Manager Pollard last night: Mr. C F. Pollard, Secretary-Treasurer Dave Lederers, Hammond, Ind. My Dear Mr. Pollard: I wish to congratulate you and your team on your game of basketball played In our gymnasium on Saturday night. During the whole game I did not see a single unsportsmanlike act of
any sort on the part of a player, nor 'near an ungentlemanlv or discour
teous remark by any spectator. Considering all it meant to the teams and their friends, I consider this one of the best exhibitions -of clean sport I have ever seen. I want to assure you that the physical department of the Gary association stands ready to aid In any way possible amateur athletics of this type. Very respectfully yours, ' GEO. M. PINNEO, Physical Director.
Ty Cobb, who played at shortstop, is the first player on the left In the lower row, the other members of the team being Manager and Catcher Bob MeCrary, Pitcher Brown, First Baseman Jim MeCrary. Second Baseman Burnette. Third Baseman Baker, Right Fie lder Cunningham. Center Fielder Bond, Ift Fielder Lee and Clifford Oinn.
Gary it is expected that the winner will Issue a challenge to the Owl club of Whiting, who now hold the championship by defeating Hammond at the "T" last Saturday night. Hammond also will issue another challenge and
It Is expected that "before the session closes they will hear from Crown Point and Hobart, who are still In the game.
SPORTING NOTES. Farrell and Jacques of Hammond proved themselves the victors in the ragtime bowlfng contest at Hammond and the two men hung up some good scores during the week's tournament. With 32 more pins in the total of three games the two men might have chalked up an average of 200 pins, but they satisfied themselves with the cash prizes and a total of 1.172 pins. They gave a good exhibition of good pinwork and if they are in the same condition at the time of the A. B. C. tournament In Chicago they ought to cop some of the prizes for Hammond.
.Dert. took the high individual score
for one game with 259 pins. The East Chicago and Indiana Har
bor polo teams will meet again next Thursday night at the Lewis skating rink. East Chicago, in their fourth hard
fought game. So far East Chicago has proven victorious over Indiana Harbor, having won three straight games, but to cut a long story short, Indiana Harbor, has strengthened their lineup considerable and this time hope to turn
the trick. Considerable rivalry exists between the two teams and If we are not amiss this will be a game worth while seeing. The members of Frank " Bradford's bowling team found themselves In the midst of a crack bunch of pin men' last Sunday afternoon when they bumped up against the Madisons at Chicago, losing a three-game series In one, two, three fashion. But at that they didn't do so bad considering the fast alleys that they had to contend with and they gave the city pen men a good run for their money.
One of the games was so close that the sc-rer na(j to think twice before he
cojld declare the winner.
The Bradfords are practicing hard this week, as they will attempt to
show the Madisons something when they roll In Hammond next Sunday.
Since the lifting of the boxing 114 at East Chicago this week the fight fans of Lake county are anxiously" waiting for the tap of the gong at the Lewis skating rink next Friday night, when two fast bouts and o wrestling match will be staged. Although Manager. Joe
Simpson does not expect a packed house at the first boxing show, he Is making great preparations for & large crowd, as delegations are expected from Hammond. Whiting andGary. A rumor to the effect that the Hammond polo team, known as the Dava Ledarers, had disbanded and no more games would be played this season waa found to be untrue this morning. The ' fact that two men, Farmer Smith and Helnts. quit the team led many to believe that the squad had broken up. Two new skaters are being sought by the Lederers and It is expected that the Lederers will be seen In action again next week. It Is noised about that the two new men will hail from Indiana Harbor.
