A crowd of young fellows in Mont
clair are trying to get together a
club. In order to buy a few neces-
| sary things We are going to run
minstrel show. AS we are all new
at this sort of business we do not
know where to get the material. If
you could tell me where | could get
some good jokes we would be very
| much obliged to you.
ALBERT DoDD.
We would advise you to hire a
good coach, first of all, some one
who has had experience in drilling
clubs in the songs and the general
program to be followed. The end
men can get plenty of material from
joke books and special publications
from numerous New York firms, or
get your newsdealer to obtain a
catalogue for you.

What player did the Federal League
offer $4,000 to for three years?
FAN.
That's one we didn't hear about.
Who is or was he? It's odd they
would offer $4,000 to any one when
the best they could do for Hans
Wagner was $4,000 year. What
were you smoking when you read
that?
]. P. NJ:
Under the reserve clause would the
players be eligible to play in or
ganized baseball after serving with
the Federals? Also, If contested by
| the law. would said clause be illegal
for both organized and Federal
leagues? Glad to see that Brooklyn
still has the grand Ebbets Field.
j. X.
You must remember that the play
ers who have jumped or are reported
to have Joined outlaw clubs have not
played with the Federals yet and
therefore are not Outlaws" until
they take that step. Organized base
ball has taken no action to punish
jumpers so far. 1t is believed that
they may be blacklisted for FIVE
years. This is the most lenient pun
ishment to be melted out. If the re-
serve clause is illegal for the goose
| 1t is Illegal for the gander, but the
Federals claim they have no reserve
clauses If they have a gentlemen's
agreement not to touch other clubs
players in their own leagues it's the
same thing as a reserve clause, and
| if they have no reserve clause sooner
or later one team will make offers
to another clubs stars and then look
out for a general explosion. Yes,
Brooklyn still has Ebbets Field.
