By J. ED GRILLO.The fact that the Feds will open their season four days prior

to the day the major leagues will start their campaigns does not

give the independents any great advantage.The Gilmore circuit is anxious to avoid as many conflicting dates

as is possible, for it was proved last season that in the majority ofinstances where the Feds had major league opposition they were

badly outdrawn. For four days this will be impossible, and the Fedswill have things their own way.But the real test will come when the

majors get into the field. On thewhole, the Feds have not bettered thecaliber of their teams since la3t sea¬son. True they have corralled a fewplayers from the majors, but there willbe no comparison in the standard ofplay between the organizations.

There is no reason for the Clevelandclub officials losing any sleep becauseof the announced retirement of FredBlanding. This twirler was at onetime one of the most effective in theAmerican League, but he appeared tobe all through last season and did lit¬tle or nothing for his team. In quittingBlanding has done a very wise thing,for the chances are he would have beendropped into the minors after a trialthis spring.Eddie Collins is impressing the

scribes who are at the White Soxtraining camp with the interest he isdisplaying in his work. Collins is ofthe type that sticks on the job everyminute. There is a certain inspira¬tion always present, and it is havingexcellent effect on the morale of thesquad, says one writer.For the first time since Comiskey re¬

vived the White Sox in 1900 there is no

fight on for the second base position.Collins has this cinched. He knowsthe fact. But that is not keeping himfrom hustling just as if he suspectedsomebody of trying to beat him out.

HSONHASNOIDEAOF GOING TO JUAREZ

Mot Very Enthusiastic Over MeetingWillard at All, and Ig¬

nores Curley.

HAVANA, February 27..Judgingfrom Jack Johnson's actions and wordslast night, the negro has not the slight¬est intention of going to Juarez amifulfilling his contract to box Jess Wil¬lard. If the bout ever is held any¬where it will be right here in Cuba,according to every indication.Johnson is not very enthusiastic over

the idea of meeting Willard at all.His remarks indicate that any boxinghe does will be with Jeannette, McVey,Mills, John Lester Johnson, BattlingJim Johnson and others of his own hue.Jack Curley's cablegram, saying, that

he is on his way here to interview thedarky, has failed to excite -Johnson,who does not seem to care when Cur¬ley arrives or whether he arrives at all.He has been busy discussing his affairswith the various local promoters, whocontinue to remark that Johnson's firstboxing will be for them. y

GRAND PRIX AUTO RACE.

Famous Drivers in Today's Conteston California Course.

SAN FRANCISCO, February 27..Thirty-five drivers tuned up their cars

today for the sixth Grand Prix auto¬mobile race on the Panama Pacific ex¬

position four-mile course. The carswere to be started three abreast at in¬tervals of fifteen seconds.Eddie Pullen, Barney Oldfield, Ralph

De Palma, Earl Cooper and CalebBragg were among the speed stars en¬

tered for the 402-mile grind which, itwas expected, would require five hoursto finish.With ideal weather and track which

experts reclared was in perfect con¬dition, it was thought a new recordmight be made. Two right angle turnsand other irregularities in the courseoffered, however, formidable handicapsagainst time. Every precaution hadbeen taken to guard against accidentsto racers and spectators. Besides theGrand Prix cup cash prizes amount.ngto $7,000 were the rewards for the suc¬cessful contestants.

Fred Blanding, who has been a mem¬ber of the Cleveland club's twirlingstaff ever since he broke into the majorleague, is at his Michigan home whilehis team is speeding toward Texas.Blanding says he intends to quit baseball.

There is a .shrewd suspicion in th®camp that Collins was in fair shapewhen he reported. Howe\er, he isamong the few who do not set out ofcondition. Others of the same cate-«ory are Tommy Leach and RabbitMaranville. They take on verj littleweight during the off season.

junction Holds Up Adoption ofSchedule.

BUFFALO, February 27..The selec¬tion of April 10 as the opening date ofthe Federal League playing season,four days in advance of the first gamesin the two major leagues, and the rec¬

ommendation by the umpires of some

minor changes in the playing rules,marked the opening sessions of theleague's annual schedule meeting hereyesterday.Although the injunction proceedings

instituted at Chicago to prevent thetransfer of the Kansas City franchiseto Newark prevented the formal adop¬tion of a schedule, the magnates wentahead with their work with the expec¬tation that Newark would be the eighthteam in this year's line-up.The tentative schedule provides for

Newark to open at Baltimore. Buffaloat Brooklyn and Indianapolis and Chi-cogo at home, with St. Louis and Pitts¬burgh as the contending teams.D. J. IJiff, A. F. Gordon and Arthur

AFFIDAVIT EXONERATESARDMORE CLUB OFFICIALS

To back up the claim of the promoters.of the Ardmore Athletic Club that theywere not aware that Ferguson was sub¬stituted for Tommy Langdon, an affi¬davit from James Feenej-, the managerof the two fighters from Philadelphia,is being circulated. The following isFeeney's sworn statement:

Washington, D. C., Feb. 26, 1915.To whom it may concern: In justice to

the promoters of the Ardmore Club andto the public I feel it my duty as theone person who knows the absolutefacts about the substituting of "Danny"Ferguson for "Tommy" Langdon at theArdmore Club Monday, February 22,1915, to state that the club officialswere in no way responsible for the"substitution," were not informed byus and were positively ignorant of thefact until after the members weregone and the boxers had received theircommission, which was at least three-quarters of an hour after the bout wasover.Friday, February 19. about 9 p.m., i

received a wire from Elmer Wilsonfrom Washington, I>. C., who was rep¬resenting "Tommy" Langdon in thatcity, asking me to send him :i boy totake Langdon's place. 1 had informedWilson Friday morning that Langdonwas in no condition to box and that it!would be impossible for him < Langdon)to appear. I therefore wired "Danny"Ferguson fo meet me in Philadelphia,which he did, and I brought him toWashington. We met Wilson at theHotel Terminal and he immediatelytook up to Benning and told us tokeep the "matter quiet about this boynot being Langdon. as he thought thatno one here knew him by sight andthat he wanted to save' his forfeitmoney. We worked Ferguson out atthe track and got him to the requiredweight and he weighed in at 133 at noonMonday. We were purposely late onarriving at the club, for fear that someOne would recognize Ferguson, but wegot the boy in the ring and workedhim to the entire satisfaction of theclub members and were not recognizeduntil after we had gotten our commis¬sion. However, this boy Ferguson putup a great fight, and I think he is enti¬tled to a" bout with Lowe or any othergood boy at his weight.(Copy) (Signed) JAMES FEKNEY.Subscribed and sworn to before me

O'DAY ASKS WHERE HE STANDS

Writes President Tener About HisStatus in Base Ball.

CHICAGO, February 27..Hank O'Day,former manager of the Chicago Cubs,denied yesterday that he had made ap¬plication to the National League fora position as umpire. O'Day wrote toPresident Tener, but not for a positk i.

What he did inquire about was

whether he still belongs to the Nation¬al League or whether he is at libertyto sign with any other league in or¬ganized base ball. He wants to havethis made clear to him so as to allo\yhim to go to the Pacific coast toofficiate if he desires.

This interesting note appears in aWestern League newspaper: "If JoeTinker of the Chicago Federals givesJack Holland Inflelder Stanley, it willbe an effort to appease the St. Josephmagnate, who has been very bitter be-<cause of the loss of George Westerziland "Dutch" Zwilling, whom Tinker!signed a year ago. Tinker and Hoi-1land are old-time friends, but they havebeen near enemies for the last twelvemonths."
