FEDERALS MUST

In SHORT TIME
'ubIiC Waiting TO Know How
Many Stars Have Jumped"
War May 60 to Courts

Only a few weeks remain before
he real strength Of the new Federal
baseball League will be shown Next
week the schedule makers OF the two
major leagues will assemble and a
week later the players will be-
gin TO leave for spring training
camps. At this time organized base
ball will know Just how many men
have been grabbed by the indopen-
dents The announcement of sched-
ulcs and the start Of the season are
awaited with much more interest than
for any season since the AmericaO
League broke into the ranks.
A trife more than a week ago the
Federal League magnates announced
i27 players under contract. SO of the
number having been secured from the
big leagues. Il has been impos-
Bible to learn the names of the play
ers, the club owners and managers
having refused TO give out any an
nouncement Of players signed.
Prohting by the mistakes made car
Tier In the campaign, the Federal
League promoters are not showing
their hand as plainly. Their meetings
have been held in secret and very
little has been learned OF their move
ments. Had this been done In the
hrst place, the club owners In or
Kanlzed baseball would have been hit
harder IN the loss OF players than
thew are now. The contemplated
raids on certain clubs stirred the big
league baseball men into action and
they succeeded in inducing many Of
their best players 20 remain within
the ranks OF organized baseball by
Increasing salaries and Offering long
term contracts.

quietly and signing their men up be

Ing with. the names of all the players

many contradictory reports have
been sent out by both sides in tho
war that II Is almost impossible 20

and who has not. According TO the

MILLIONS OF CLAY

Millions Of migratory birds" are
being killed but don't go TO the
trouble Of informing your game war
den he would probably give you the
laugh. Yet these birds arc as truly
migratory" as any that come under
the protection Of the Weeks-McLean

Why would the game warden laugh?
Because these are "clay birds" And
why shouldn't clay birds be protect

more than that. they are not clay at
ALL rather, they are made Of river
silt and tar. shaped like a saucer and
are the targets used in the growing
American sport of trapshooting.
And how they do migrate. AS q
matter of fact, they migrate" to
more different places and with great
or frequency than the fellow who
finds Il cheaper to move than to pay
rent. From two or three factories,
these "birds" migrate to every state
in the Union and TO every country;
both savage and tame. The term
"clay bird" had its origin when clay

the most relentless pursuer Of ma

the old-style target that showed not

carried to the courts The legality
of the reserve clause In the players
contracts win then be tested to the
limit and settle for all time the claim
a club has on player. The organized
baseball magnates have never shown
any strong disposition 20 take their
affairs into the courts. except in the
cases OF Laioie and others who were
enioined from playing with the Ath-
letics by a decision Of the Supreme
Court Of Pennsylvania during the
war between the National and Ameri-
can Leagues. Since that time all
baseball cases have been settled out
OF court.
The Federal League officials and
their attorneys are equally sure that
the reserve clause will not be upheld,
and say they are eager to test IT,
Their willingness TO fight the matter
In court is readily accounted for
They have everything to gain and
nothing to lose. If the reserve clause
is held legal, the Federal League will
lose only those players the major
leagues wish to claim. and there are
plenty of players IN the country they
can obtain 70 build up a good minor
/ league.
The main reason why the magnates
of organized baseball are not SO will
ing to test the reserve clause In court
is that, If they lose. IL will mean the
loss Of those players already signed
by the Foderals and It will mean
signing up all their own players to
long-tem contracts and bidding Tor

Jackson, the general manager OF thu
Moth British Railway has
been telling a good story. the facts of
Which, he said, were.ascertained in the
Investigation of a complaint made by
h principal actor.
An old lady turned up at one of tho
Glasgow stations, and going up to q
porter, said:
i say. porter, can you tell me where
I will get my train?"
Where are you going. MADAME" he
asked.
What have you got to do with that?
Car you tell me where I will get my

But I cannot tell without"
well. I'm not going to tell you
where I'm going. I'll get someone else

With that the old lady toddled
farther up the platform. n meeting
another porter %propounded her con-
undrum to him.
Where are you going, MADAME" was
his natural question.

impertinent as your mate. I'm not 60

asked him If he could tell her where
her train was. She got the same reply.

The porter directed her to the Paisley
train. n just as it was leaving the

I'm going to Edinburgh" which. It

Railroads and Panama.
From the wall Street Journal

From the Wall Street Journal.
If there is one charge more childish
than another in the needless discussion
Of u plain International obligation in
the Panama canal tolls matter, it Is
that the transcontinetal railroads
whatever they may be) are intriguing
against the exemption of the coastwlse
traffic.
Is there anybody in Washington
perhaps excluding the Interstate Com
nature and amount of railroad freight
which crosses the continent? The adj
vocates of national dishonor would
boldly start out with the California
fruit trade. But the bulk Of this will
come by the railroads in case, be-
cause it is essentially fast freight.
which every day d~eteriorates. No
will be shipped to New York or Boston
by way of the Panama canal, unless
u busy politicians succeed in their
patriotic efforts to wipe the railroads
off the map.
What other transcontinental freight
is there? If a modest little 1000 mile
road had every scrap of it, and nothing
else, the road would starve to death.
Our politicians have been able
to get the act into their heads that
the freight of this country divides at
he Mississippi. New England does
not SenO SHOES TO sal FRANCISCO. Iney
go from st. Louis. San Francisco and
Los Angeles are not buying anything in
New York which the express COM
panies cannot handle. They can get
all they want in Chicago, which is a
full day and 1000 miles nearer and, in
the matter Of freight rates, that much
cheaper.
1t is true that some railroad mana
gers went up in the air when. the
Panama canal first became a certainty.
But they only descended to the level Of
the politician for a time. They know
better now: and it is no rash pre-
diction that the canal will make them
more business than it can ever take
away. President Underwood of the
Erie fatty declined to be any party
t O a campaign against the Erie barge
canal. He was quite right. Carrying
materials made mere business for the
Erie than anything that canal can take
away The most it can do will be to
divert an Improbable class Of freight
/ which the Erie will %relinquish with a
grateful smile.
In the case Of the Panama canal the
railroads are not guilty, and If they
were guilty they would deserve con-
dign punishment for an ignorant OPP
| position fatty against the interest of
