Archer to Join Federal League?
Sounds Like Pipe. Dream.

able to agree with President Murphy
OF the Cubs on his salary for 1913,
is now being touted as one of the
managers in the new Federal League,
which is to invade big league terri :,
tory. The rumor, which sounds like
some ones private dream, bills Ar
cher to boss either the Detroit or St.
Louis teams.
This report, taken with the one
yesterday that Tommy Leach is to
have a club in the new organization,
looks like an effort to throw obsta-
cles in the path of Johnny Evers and
disrupt the West Side team.
The Federal won't draw big enough
crowds to pay big salaries and last
through the season. Third leagues
are glorious prospects on paper, but
some promoters who have tried to
finance them know to their sorrow
that coaXing the coin into the box
office is something else again. Ar
cher is star; he is great drawing
card, but one man can't make third
league team success.
Some of the boys who went to the
outlaws had visions of great wealth,
but they were glad to get back where
three square meals day were as
sured. Archer is a wise ball player
and it is improbable that he will tie
himself up with the Federal League.
Hugh Jennings cobbIess and
Crawfordless Tigers will return to
Gulfport tonight after their game
with New Orleans. Yesterdays game
was won by Detroit, 6 to L.
Packard and Works pitched the
Cincinnati regulars to victory over
the vans yesterday and Tinker be-
ieves he has added two good pitchers
to his staff. Packard is veteran of,
the American Association, and Works
was formerly with Detroit. The Reds
start a series with Birmingham to-
day.

In letter to Minct concern. the

We learn that +. A. Long and q.
