TT would be well for the National
Commission, club owners and all
those who are interested in base
ball. not to hold the Federal League
too cheap
There were several National League
magnates who felt safe in their own
self conceit as to their re-eminence
in baseball and the Gibraltar-It de-
Tense that the National League could
place against all corners when they
pooh poohed the contemplated as
sault of Ban Johnson and his Ameri-
can Association against the fortiii-
cations of the present baseball or
ganization.
The National League people were
badly fooled. They underestimate
the strength of their "upstart" rivals
and failed to take due precautions
owing to having the false idea that
they were so firmly intrenched in
popular feeling and financial solidity
that they could never be deposed from
their permanency as the real and only
organization in baseball.
The old fossils were so sure Of the
strength of their league that they
even allowed ComislIy to install an
American Association team in Chi
cago, thinking, in their conservative
obtuseness, that the venture of the
new and unsophisticated minor
leaguers would result in dire fail

Formed Entering Wedge.
That advantage, gained without
oVermuch friction, was the entering
wedge for the formation of the Amer
lean League. the name adopted in
place of the American Association,
the instant the young and vigorous
new organization, headed by Ban
Johnson, obtained its first foothold
in a National League city.
All that the shrewd Ban Johnson.
Charley Comisky and their followers
needed and wanted was the foothold.
They appreciated that the National
League. fathers of the national game
as they were pleased to call them
selves and be called was plodding
along in an old-fashioned way, salts
fled with itself and the style of play

since 1876 the year the old league
was organized.
Too much conservatism is the next
door to decrepitude, and Ban John

promoters of the new American

But what could be expected from

New League Faces Tough Fight:

run down at the heels, frayed at the
edges and as black as your hat from
the smoke of years that the engine
on the old Providence Railroad blew
into it's folds.
The fences, the stands on the old
Union grounds in Boston were as
much a disgrace as was that game
and plucky old Glory that tried SO
hard to live up to it's name.
The conditions at Boston were a
living example of how the entire Ma
tional League had, by it's supine over
confidence in it's strength to hold the
baseball public overreached' itself.
Forced to Accept Terms.
Belated and, of course, futile efforts
were made to stem the tide of the
more vigorous younger rival Clubs
of the American League were in
stalled in other cities than Chicago.
In Cleveland, st. Louis, Philadelphia,
Baltimore, Detroit and finally in Bos-
ton and New York, the American
League found foothold, and by fight
ing every inch of the way, by sign
ing National League players, the Ban
johnson organization finally forced
the National League to accept the
improved situation and from a war to
the death make terms.
And since peace was declared the
national game was never more pros
porous. 1t has been proven beyond a
doubt that there is room for two
clubs in any big city. The rivalry
established has forced both to obtain
the best player talent that can be
engaged without regard to money ex-
pended.
The Federal League has just as
much moral right to butt in as had

ton arises whether the sport is ripe
for third big league Surely there
is not room enough for three clubs in
any one city. But that should be open
for those hackers who are willing to
take a chance
Hard Fight Ahead.
The only way, though, the Fed
eral League has a living chance to
succeed is to do as the American
League did and sign players of repu-
tation who are not under contract.
The new organization must fight its
way. Personally l do not think 1t
can buck successfully against organ
lied baseball as now so firmly es-
tablished, And yet it has moral and
legal right to make the attempt
1t will take more money than any
visionary minded hacker Of the new
league mas any appreciation or, A
million dollars will be only a mere
bagatelle.
Those PLAYERS who may have the
most courageous desire to cast their
fortunes with the new third proposed
league will be found to be the ones
who know their existence in either
the National or American Leagues are
very short.
In other words, bird in the hand
is worth two in the bush A whole
flock, in fact, to my way of thinking.
But what I think does not disrupt the
Federal League in it's incipiency.
