XXIHlLE the Dixie League keeps
wv hammering away with a
stuffed club at the portals of
the Southern, keeping Mr. Judge
havanaugh pretty much on his di-

ing, the Federal League is kicking
up quite rumpus in the West
The Feds, it may be remembered,
struggled pluckily along to the bitter
end of the 1913 season. bucking the
powerful association in towns like
Kansas Guy and Ind annapolis. and
stacking up as best they might
against the big fellows in Pittsburg
Cleveland and Chicago.
They didn't make any money, and
they didn't come anywhere near max
ing any money.
But they did stick it out to a fin
ish.
And they say they are ready to
start again next year.
r HAT isn't all they say, either.
There is an extremely wealthy
brewer IN St Louis who came through
pretty substantially last season, and
he and some more sports are quoted
rather reckiessly as being ready to
put up sufficient funds ito place the
new league on an equal basis with the
TWO. so-called major leagues"
That would De quite some funds

land THEN where will they get the
players?"
They know, foxy old foxes, that the
baseball public pays to see baseball
stars
Y Ut wait-here's something else.
BoIh sides are pre,ly well
aware that the Players Fraternity is
planning to ask some radical things
of organized baseball this winter.
On the one side, the new league is
holding out Glittering Promises, much
as the American League used to cut
into the old National League not SO
long ago.
ON the other side, organized base.
ball can not be quite SO arbitrary and
Johnsonesque az of yore.
Who can blame the Players, then.
for playing both ends against the
middle?
| I MIGHT be, also. that the Fed
eral League promoters are hoping
that the play ers and organized base
ball will corle squarely to logger
heads, Then a bunch of stars might
az we'll jump to the Feds. which
league naturally would do some pros
pering with that sort of a show.
A pipe dream. Very possibly.
A ND now more probable out
"A come.
The big league moguls are too wise
not to see some danger in ignoring
the Federal League. Also, they are
too wise not to see the method likely
to prove most effective in disarming
the new circuit.
The chances are largely in favorxpf
very. very amiable and kindly deal-
ings with the Players Fraternity this
winter.
That's our guess
We fancy that is about as far as
the affair will get--this year But
from what we saw OF the Federal
League in Kansas City last season,
the big outlaw circuit intends to
stick, and has a fair supply OF the
means for sticking.
