Brooklyn Has Good Reason for
Opposing Plans Of NeW League

magnates, has all of the dope on his
finger tips. Lillis was in Newark on
a visit yesterday, and declared that
he did not blame President Ebbets
or the National League if they re-
fused the new league the right to
invade Brooklyn's territory.
Lillis had little to say about the
salary limit, and hopes to sign his
players soon. A deal is now hanging
fire by which the Jersey City Club
will benefit immensely if it goes
through Jersey City will be used as
a secondary farm for Yankee recruits.
Lillis denies that Fogerty. his new
partner, Is connected with Farrell, but
the close friendship of Fogarty and
Farrell seals the agreement. It would
not be TO the interests of either party
If the story were spread. because
John Camel and Charley Chaplin,
who have a ive-year agreement, Civ
ing Rochester first choice of Yankee
players, are greedy and Lillis figures
that it is to his interest to keep any
such deal covered over. Rochester
will have first pick of Yankee players
and Jersey City viii come next, the
same as Toronto picked the cream Of
the Brooklyn players last year and
Newark got the men Kelley could
not use.
There are about sixty international
League players who have not signed
to date. according to President Ed
ward G. Barrow. The Rochester Club
is having the most trouble in signing
up players, but Barrow predicts that
everything viii turn out all right in

What is probably the real reason
for the probable refusal of the Ma
tionaI League to grant the New York
and New Jersey State League per-
mission 10 operate in Long Island
city has leaked out 1t has been dis
covered that under the national agree
ment any minor or major league club
can draft a town in a smaller league
and by purchasing the franchise, in
addition TO an extra $500 for the
privilege, take over that town.
The drift is just this: In time Long
Island city might prosper. The In
ternational League. in search of a
good town to replace one Of its weak
er cities. might draft Long Island
CITY and the National League, having
given its permission to minor
league to play baseball there, could
have no objection under baseball law.
The rule governing this case is ex-
-remely interesting and has probably
never been printed before. For IN
stance. if the National or American
leagues wanted Newark a notitiea-
ton to that effect would be sent to
The National Commission. In case no
agreement could be reached on the
price to be paid for the franchise, the
clause provides for the appointment
Of an arbitration committee, consist
inc of one member of the club draft
ed. a member of the league which
1oes the drafting and third party
to be picked by the pair.

NEGOTIATING FOR SITE
FOR new YORK TRACK
Deal May Be Closed Within Few Days.
Madison Square Garden Also Offered.
New Plant for Boston.

1t is the belief of Messrs. Frank
Million and John Chapman, the own
ers of the Newark velodrome that
the coming season Will be the most
successful in the history Of cycle rae
ing in this country Their plans call
for the expenditure of large sum Of
money in the construction of tracks
and the Importation Of foreign riders.
and they believe that the fans viii
support the sport this year as they
never have before
The cycling impresarios we're in
conference the greater part of yester-
day, with the result that a new track
will be built in Boston; the Providence
track will be opened, more foreign
riders, in addition to those signed, will
be brought here, if possible, and three
meets each week will be run in New
ark from June until September Be
fore Mr.. Millions departure for Eu-
rope the proposition of running three
meets here each week had been dis
cussed, but 1t was not definitely de-
cided until yesterday. The additional
meet will be held on Saturday nights,
as has been told.
In Boston--a great bike town-the
track that was constructed by the
MacLean brothers thirteen years age
and which is worn to a thread, will
come down and mammoth track the
size Of the local Velodrome will be
constructed. 1t will, however, be
eight laps TO the mile, instead of six.
Nat Butler, the veteran rider, will
manage the Boston track. and Floyd
mcfarland will have charge of the
New Haven and Providence tracks
Two meets each week viii be run in
New Haven and Providence, If these
tracks receive the support of the bike
racing enthusiasts and Boston will
also be on the two-meet schedule
The Beantown track will be devoted
to motor paced racing exclusively.
A project which will probably be
consummated within the next. few
days may alter this entire arrange
ment. For the past three years
Messrs. Million and Chapman have
been trying to get suitable location
for track in New York city. There
is just one spot in the isle of Man
haitian that is available, and negotia-
lions are now under way to secure
this tract of land for the <rection of q
bicycle and motor track. If the pro-
motors are successful, the New Eng.
land tracks will have to cut theii
schedule to one meet each week
Madison Square Garden has beer
offered to the promoters for summer
racing, and in the event of failure II
securing location for an outdoor
track they may run meets in the Gar
den during June, July and August.
