Last season the Federals had dia-

far away from the center of the city
and the crowds were small. The team
was weak, too, and it was a great s-sr
when the Feds drew 500 spectators.
The unexpected success of the Maps,
also, hurt the outlaws.
As matter of fact, the Federal

win in its battle. The Chicago park
