The first real evidence that the Fed eral league is hurting organized base ball is shown by the statement of Man ager Jack Dunn of Baltimore that he The last straw came yesterday when Dunn arranged a double header with Toronto and drew only 200. The Baltf- more Federa1s drew 2,500 to one game.
 Dunn has two offers under consid- eratioua- He can sell 49 per cent of his stock to Richmond, Va, promoters for s62,00O or he can sell six Of his stars to the Chicago White Sox for $6O, ,oO0. The six men who arc in great demand are Outf1elders Twobley. Daniels and Cree. Infle1ders Derrick and ATidkiR and Pitcher Ruth. Dunn is also wor- ried because Manager Bradley of the Brooklyn Federals is hanging around trying to get some of the men. Dunn couldn't get his $50, 100 unless he could deliver the players to the White Sox- The Federals are willing to go the limit for Ruth, the southpaw star, but he is a. minor and it is understood a that Dunn, who is his guardian, can pre- vent him from Jumping.
