BUFFALO SLATED !
FOR OUTLAW ' CLUB
Report Says Federals Will Make
Second Assault on Inter-
national League.
DOINGS HERE AND THERE

The report now comes from Buffalo
that the Bison City will be repre-
scented in the Federal Baseball
League next season. making Inter-
national League city No. to turn
toward the Outlaw movement.
Baltimore came forth with the news
that a club had already been incor-
porated with grounds near the home
of the International League Club,
yesterday. Nothing definite has been
heard on the Buffalo proposition in
the way of permanent organization,
but Dame Rumor has 1t that she will
be the eighth and final town added
to the circuit, which already consists
of Baltimore, Pittsburg, Cleveland,
Indianapolis, Chicago, ST. Louis and
Kansas City. The question now pops
up whether Buffalo will support two
clubs. She could If she cared to, but
that's another question. Buffalo was
not a mint in the International cir
cult, by any means, although she was
represented by good club.
With a winner Buffalo will draw
in the International League, but with
q consistent loser tho OUTLAW cir
cult may put her in a bad way. 1t
looks as though the International
League team in Herdville next season
will be q corker, though, and the
Federal League will be given the
grand march" within a month or
two.
Other cities in the International
League would gladly take a hand in
the outlaw movement, but the
question Is money. A deposit of more
than $4,000 is required before any
town could think of organizing an
other club. Whether business men
would take a chance on putting forth
this bundle of coin for such a propo-
sition is improbable. Much interest is
being attached to the meeting in In.
dianapolis next Saturday of magnates
of the Federal League, who expect to
make financial preparations for the
1914 season. s
