FOGEL TO WRECK
ORGANIZED BALL
Ex- Philly President to Launch
New League With Million
Dollar Backing.

Philadelphia, Pa. July 25.-Horace
Fogel, late president of the Phillies,
has new scheme for wrecking organ
lied baseball, since the apparent fail
ure of his efforts to induce congress
to push the investigation which was
supposed &c have been started with
the revived Gallagher resolution. Hor-
ace has confided TO local press bur
can an article OF some 5000 words
outlining plans for a new major league,
on which he has been working for
several days and nights at least
Fogei claims 10 have millions behind
/, the new scheme and the assurance of
all the members of the players fra
ternity that they-are Tor him good
and plenty While Fogel does not
come right out and say so, he wishes
TO convey the impression that Otto
Steifel of St Louis, now backing the
Federal league in the Mound city, and
Jefferson Livingston of Cincinnati,
one of the promoters of the ill-fated
all star post-season series a few falls
ago, are going to be the angels OF
the new independent league
Fogel plans first to shoot the fabric
! of baseball full of holes by means of
the Sherman antitrust law, then go
in through the holes and grab off all
the best players of both leagues for
the great new organization of which
how did you ever guess it?-Hor.
ace himself is to be president, vice
| president, treasurer and secretary.
The proposed circuit, by the way
includes New York, Philadelphia, Bal
timore, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Chicago
and st. Louis at present, with cities
like Kansas City and Indianapolis fran
! tically beginning for the eighth fran
chise. According to the 5000 words
prospectus, Horace already has
grounds in the seven cities and has
architects and contractors working on
( the plans for new plants in New York
and Philadelphia capable of seating
many people. The copy which we saw
was slightly indistinct and did moi
indicate for sure whether it was
planned TO seat $4,000 or 100000 per
sons in Gotham.
Other details have been worked out
with magical simplicity and a non
chalance for money that is perfectly
/ appalling. According to7Herace, the
days of the triumvirate-Ban johnson
Garry Hermann and Tom Lynch
are numbered. Nor does it require
many figures to express the matter
The chief difficulty Fogel has exper
fenced thus far is that the local pres:
does not take him seriously and hest
Itates to give publicity to his pros
pectus for fear there is nothing in i
but wind.

NO GAMES PLAYED
IN The BIG SHOW
Rain Halts Only Battle in Ma
tional While American
Has Off Day.

Baseball fans got an off day yester-
day. not single game being played
in either of the two big leagues and
only one combat being decided in
the American association. Not since
the seasons early weeks has the en-
tire country missed at least one major
league tilt as was the case yesterday.
American league schedule makers
helped the cause along to some extent
by making the day an of one for
the teams in this league. But four
contests were billed in the National
and they were called because of rain.
Cincinnati and Boston were the onfy
clubs to even start, and they only
got part of an inning over when the
downpour came. 1t was the last day
of the current series in each of the
old league towns, so double-headers
will have to be billed on the next
time around.
The rain gave the Pittsburgh fol-
lowers a big setback, for they were
counting on the Pirates to take the
final from the league leaders. The
Giants took three straight from the
smoketown crew, while the Reds
won two out of three from the Braves!
The eastern clubs are billed to go
west tonight, so only one game is
! booked in the old circuit today, Phil
adelphia being carded for Pittsburgh.
Locally about the only thing worth
while came from Ban Johnson's office.
He said that the Washington fans
were planning to give Walter John
son a big silver cup July 80, this
being Johnson's sixth anniversary as a
member of the Senators. Besides this
Johnson gave notice that he is still
investigating the Chase-Zeider-B orton
! trade. There was nothing doing from
the South Side standpoint, Owner
Comiskey going to Clinton. Iowa, to
spend few days on his house boat.

progress of the battle A sweater
sleeve was dangling from the roof Of
the coop and J. H. pulled an artistic
bag punching stunt, much to the edi-
fication of the bugs.
Catcher Billings of the Quincy gang
is another player with a temperament
He was at bat in the second inning and
drove a vicious one along the right
field line which went foul, and conse-
quently he refused to run Run 'em

bench
Its a foul ball." replied Billings.

you hear?" this from Kahl.

so peeved tha- he drove the pill clear
to the left field fence, driving in Col
vim ahead of him. Billings was so
het up that he refused to stop at sec
ond as babe by the coacher, and
banged into Bromwich for the out.
When he walked over to the bench
there was a wild wrangle, and dur
ing the chewing match, the catcher
and shortstop squared off and were
about to stage a battle contrary to
the statutes Of the state of Iowa.
Other players interviewed and peace
was restored.
