The Influence OF Tammany.

There j. no question but what "A good
deal Of the arrogance of Maenate
Freedman OF the NeW York National
Lea que team mas been due To his per
sonal strength in Tammany Hall. He
has been specially close to Boss Gro
ser Indeed the latter has been thought
by many To he a silent partner" in
the ownership of the New York team.
u" that as it may. Il new ball team
which had the active opposition Of
Tammany Hail could scarcely expect TO
obtain a substantial foothold in the
great metropolis. 1t has often been
stated that the present polo grounds
constitute the only available site for
an athletic field to be found on Man
haitian island: but such is not the fact
as We have Indicated \ location has
been found. hut Tammany could easily
,ut it up With streets and so render il
useless for athletic purposes.
Much may therefore depend upon
the outcome of the approaching NUM-
cipal election as Ia whether or not the
American League will be represented
in New York City next season.
Should Tammany win. the field would
bc closed to all rivals of Freedman.
unless the movement We're backed by
Tammany men 50 powerful that Gro
kcr would not dare antagonize them.
Undoubtedly . winning American
League team in New York City would
be- y money maker from the start. This
fact gives color /" the report that

man. Sullivan is. next To Croker him
sem. HE most powerful leader in Tam
many Hall at the present time. Indeed
there are many who believe that he
would not come off second best in Il
contest with the great Boss himself.
Farrell. too. is individually. a vastly
stronger man than Freedman. To-
