Indianapolis, Ind. November 1.-The
board of directors of the Federal league
yesterday decided to declare war upon
the major leagues or organized baseball
admitted Buffalo, N. Y, and Baltimore
to the circuit making it an eight-club
organization, and refused to have any
dealing whatever with Horace Fogel,
representing Philadelphia capitalists.
The directors, in their decision to try
to sign players of the two major leagues
voted not to ask any man in organized
baseball, already under a contract, to
join their organization. but they held
10SszsaFy player under reserve clause
would be rendered a contract If he wished
to play in the new organization. This,
it was said, was done because the direc-
tors felt that the contract of any player
would be upheld in the courts, but that
the reserve clause was Illegal and would
not be sustained in the courts.
The Federal league will take no further
steps toward carrying on war upon or
ganized baseball unless the major leagues
attempt to retaliate. but If they do, the
directors declared, tne organization is
well supplied with money and will fight

1t was said the directors action in
deciding TO make offers to any players
held under reserve clause would include
the majority of the men in the National
and American leagues. These players,
it was said, had refused to sign con-
tracts until their demands made through
the players fraternity were granted. The
Federal league, they asserted, was ready
to grant these demands.
The election of officers was postponed
until November is, when the new board
of managers convenes In Chicago
After the meeting Acting President J..
A. Gilmore, in a statement declared that
Horace Fogel had presented to the direc-
tors the claims of Philadelphia capitalists
for a place in the league. The Federal
league. Mr.. Gilmore said, refused to have
anything to do with Mr.. Fogel and Phia-
delphias request was rejected.
The directors resumed their meeting
at 9 o'clock to consider plans for next

SOCCER STRUGGLE

San Francisco. November 2.--Interest
in the California football season shifted
this week from the astonishing career
of the New Zealand all-black rugby ex-
ponents, on their American invasion,
to discussion of the possibilities and
probabilities of the big game" of the

Stanford turf.
Both at Stanford and California great
confidence in the outcome next Satur-
day is expressed. In general, however,
California is considered the favorite
for this eighth Rugby contest between

HOW THE LEADING SOUTHERN

BY ASA RoUNTREE. JR.


With the crucial games on southern
gridirons only short while off 1T will
doubtless be interesting to gridiron en-
thusiasts to know how the leading
southern elevens stack up against each
other in weight. While this is not the
main requisite 1t is nevertheless an I'M
portant one and has In the past played
an important part in more than one
gridiron struggle
The elimination of Sewanee Satur-
day afternoon by Georgia Tech leaves
only four teams. Auburn. Georgia, Van
derbilt and Georgia Tech, that may be
considered real claimants for the south
ern title.
The fight between the first trio will
be eagerly watched by southern pig
skin followers as for years they have
been rivals for supremacy on the grid
, iron. But indications are that Wander
bilt will not be an important factor
and in her place will be Georgia Tech.
whose showing Saturday against Sc
vance warrants the place.
glimpse into the backfields Of the
three leading elevens, Georgia, Auburn
and Georgia Tech, shows that Auburn
has the lightest one of the trio, the
average being 1874. The Georgia and
Tech backfields are closely matched in
weight, Georgia's average being 1913
and Techs 1921. On the line, however,
Auburn has the advantage, 1t being
heavier than either of her two oppon-
ents. The Auburn line averages 1856,
while Georgia's averages a little over
179 and Techs 17S
Below are given the weights of the
pigskin warriors representing Auburn

Federal League Declares
War On Organized Baseball

a raid on the stars of the National and
American leagues, believing the players
will stand by their reported resolution to
refuse to sign contracts without the nu-
merous new conditions they demand
History shows that players in former
cases have refused to stand pat and
run the risk of losing their salaries,
but Federal league officials contend that
conditions now are different.
Baseball men in Chicago conversant
with the situation say the players have
the whip hand just now to force the mag
mates to acquiesce in their demands. The
Federal league has a cash fund, they
say, resulting from interesting several
capitalists in the third league venture,
and is prepared to make fiattering offers
to major league stars.
