The Federal League will either De
four club circuit within the next Few
days-or pass into the discard.
The Stantons and the Takomas are
ready to drop out of the league, and
the only salvation of the circuit Is 10
form a four-team league. declare the
first series closed, with Petworth the
pennant winner. and start another Sc
ries Monday. This will give each OF tne
four remaining clubs an even start. The
winner of the second series VIII play
Petworth II this plan is adopted
Five of the best players Of the Ia
koma club and two Of the Stantons are
ready to sign with the Pension Bureau
aggregation, providing the league is de-
clared closed at once and new series
started Monday or Tuesday. This VIII
be decided upon at a meeting OF the
league either today or tomorrow, as
several of the managers will have
special meeting called.
Another feature of the Federal League
will be that Bob Jones, remembered as
the secretary of the old Suburban
League. will more than likely have
charge of the games. Jones knows the
inner working of an amateur league
from to u. and should be just the
man to jump in and lead the Federal
League to a prosperous ending.
Should Bob Jones be secured to head
the league, the fans OF the suburban
circuit can be assured of seeing a much
faster article OF ball, as Jones will
strengthen each team. Neither the Ia
komas or the Stantons had nine men
on the field yesterday.
The league had just started to pay,
when these forfeit games cropped up. Tn.
less the circuit is reorganized at once.
the teams will all quit Takoma will
not stay in the league unless a new sched-
ule is started, at least. the new members
OF the Takoma club will not play until
this is done
1t is now up to the other managers to
get busy, and reorganize the league at
once.
The pitching of "F'inney" Kelly for the
G. p. o. club yesterday when he defeated
the Printers,N5 to 4, is worthy of mention.
Kelly allowed but four hits In nine in
nings, famed fifteen and walked six.
Only one error was made behind him.
Kelly will pitch Sunday against the
Cornell Tigers at Union League Park.
The Cornell ciouters have never faced
Kelly. and an interesting battle is looked
for. Either Thompson or Edmonston will
promptly at . o'clock, with Capt. Jenkins
