Organized Base Ball Plans to
Fight Federal League With
Real Competition.
WILL SHARE EXPENSE OF
DRIVING OUT "OUTLAWS"
Clubs From American Association
May Be Placed in Chicago to Do
Battle With Newcomers.

Special Dispatch to The star.
CHICAGO, January ro.-lt was
learned today that the major
leagues i'll their proposed fight
on the Federal League have an
ace i'll the hole that is likely IL
result i'll great financial loss for
the baby league il carried into Ell
feet. The majors will play unique
war on the Federals: they will al
ow the Federals to sign their
players with little. If any, opposi
ton, and then lie back to avail,
events. Then will come the crash
and the first real gunfirinS OF the
campaign.
The play is simply to fight base
ball competition with like com
petition to make the Federals dig
deep in their jeans and see how
they like it. while the majors, for
tilted by the big financial war chest
that has been laid aside Tor such a
campaign, will be able to continue
the battle indefinitely.
knowing well that the average
base ball fan does not care whit
for the uniform that the player
wears, but is interested merely IN
the class of base ball that the team
puts up, the majors play to collect
team of stars and throw it into
some Federal League city, obtain
grounds near where the Fcderals
are making good and arrange
dates to conflict with the Fcdcrals.
Then the fur will fly.
The fans, naturally. will patronizc the
team that is<making the best showing,
and in addition the gate receipts OF the
Federal League team VIII be heavily
cut into.
Clubs to Divide Losses.
The loss that will result to the majors
from such a move will be divided among
the interested organized teams, while
the loss to the Federals will be divided
hetween only eight teams. and, in addi-
ton, the Federal League. being Il YOUTH
full organization, has MOI been able I"
accumulate any war chest for such
financial battle.
IL is also planned TO bring either the
Minneapolis or St Paul team into Chi
caRo and establish headquarters AT
t;unther's Park which is also on tue
North Side and not very Tar IRON
where the Federal League team viii hold
forth. Both these teams, being IN Tue
American Association, are under the Or
ders os organized base ball.
Such opposition would be represented
by a team that would stack up favor
ABLY with the Federal cam. and a sure
split in the gate receipts would result
Such a scheme is known 10 he prac-
ticai:v decided upon. and even the
league picked that will be called upon
10 lead the battle on the federals
That probably Chicago will be Sc,
lected for the battle is because of the
fact that the Federal League headauar-
tiers are here. and. in addition, il is
expected, owing to the fact tEat Joe
Tinker has already signed SO many
stars. that his team will be the repre-
sentative one in the Federal League,
and a battle waged against the Tinker
ties would call forth more attention
and result in greater blow to the
Federals than il the battle were carried
to any other city

While Griffith was mailing Henry MS
contract Joe EnSel sauntered into head
quarters, told Griff he'd like TO get IN
line, and a few minutes later affixed his
signature and left the building. Engel
was delighted with the figures his con-
tract called for. 1t seems that in recog-
milton of his efforts Griffith added little
to the figures, and Engel, who had not
expected this, felt greatly elated ana
vowed that he would prove the coming
season that no mistake was made in re-
tanning him. He is the sixth player TO
sign.
While there is no doubt that the
forward strides in the matter OF secur-
ing material which the Federal League
has made has not only caused the public
to he interested, but it has undoubtedly
stirred M the men interested in organ
lied base ball 1t has undoubtedly
caused the expenditure of considerable
money to get the players that have been
signed from the major leagues to take
such a step. Not only have they signed
for greatly dutdHCeu SainAAeS' W. >AA~'
must have been handed some spot cash.
If the reports on the figures used are to
be believed, then the OUTLAWS have al
ready tied up a lot of money without
having much to show for it. Fortunes
will have to be spent before the gates
can be opened, and in n majority of In
stances plants will have to be built be-
fore there are any gates to open.
Those who have their money invested
are getting a lot of glory out Of it just
now. Lots of publicity is being given the
movement, and in many of the cities
where the league is represented its pro-
motors are being held up as public bene-
factors and heroes. That may be Il
rather satisfactory condition right now.
hut a lot more money will have to be
st,nl, into the venture before business
starts and then there is no assurance
that the coin will roll into the Golfers
with the rapidity that was hoped for.
AT the rate that the new league has
been running up expenses 1t will require
more than ordinary prosperity at the
gate for them to make both ends meet.
will be a novelty and will draw well for
n while, but it is the intention to play
o.-cent ball. and the outlook is by no
means bright for the neW league teams
to stand very high artistically. SO that
in most places where it has opposition
its chances for success will be rather
slim.
So far as the public is concerned the
big league promises little. 1t is not the
intention to produce a high class OF base
ball, nor to give the patrons more for
their money. 1t is nothing more or less

! than a lot of folks with money trying
| to break into business which they have
reason to believe is profitable. The game
is not going to be helped thereby, SO
far as can be seen. But there will be
lot Of money lost one way or another.
Some few players will break their pledges
and most of them will probably be bene-
fitted financially if the struggle between
enough. But on the whole there is moth
ing to worry about. Base ball will con-
tinue along high-class lines regardless of
what the outcome Of the pending strife
may be-
Just about six weeks from now the
players will be making their way south
to prepare for the coming campaign.
The time for magnates and promoters
is about drawing to close as it al
ways does when the players get into ac-
ton. Some of the batteries of the major
league teams will start into training as
early as the middle of February and by
the tenth of March, if not sooner. all
the players will have reported at the
training camps of their respective teams.
Griffith figures on having his young
pitchers report here the latter part of
February and will send II EN- to Char
lottesville about, the first of March. while
the entire squad is expected to be asked
to report by March 5.
Just about three weeks will be spent
at Charlottesville. when the team will
come to its own grounds for a long series
of exhibition games with National
League and college clubs Griffith fig
ures that about five weeks of prelimi-
nary work is sufficient to get ball
team ready for the long campaign. and
he believes to prolong the training period
Is a dangerous undertaking and is apt
to make the players stale long before
the grind ends in October.
While it is of course essential to have
the entire squad In shape when the cam
paign starts. it is Of the greatest i'm
portance to have four or five pitchers
capable Of showing their best form. The
early spring gives the pitchers an ad-
vantage. for the batters' eyes are not
well trained that early and the hitting in
creases as the season progresses. 1t
is because of this fact that Griffith puts
in most of his time trying to prepare his
twirlers, for he figures that if they are
ready he stands a good chance to get
flying start in the race
Barring the few changes that will de-
velop the Nationals pitching staff
there is not apt to be single switch
in the lineup during the coming season.
Griffith will have quite a lot of young
sters to try out in both the in and
outfield, but there is hardly a chance for
any member of the last years team
being suppianted by some of these new
corners.
That portion of the young materia;
which will be retained viii be used for
less one of these recruits should prove
surprise and be real star in the
rough.

PITTSBURGH, Pa. January 10.-The
headquarters of the Pittsburgh National
League club announced tonight that the
signed contracts of First Baseinan no
netchy and Pitcher McQullan were re-
ceived today. Rumors. reports and I'M
certainties Of weeks were set at rest by
the announcement. which was made Of
secretary. Up until the yer, last mo-
ment Konetchy had been claimed by
Federal League magnatcs, even after he
had declared that all negotiations We're
of. The salary offered him is said to
have been something in excess of that
which he received at st. Louis. and is
said to have been entirely satisfactory.
The ''big trade train concluded that a
fair salary in the majors was better than
a larger one in the bush
1.-The outlook now indicates tina. every
thing will be lovely said Secretary Con-
STAINS. with the contracts Of Konetchy
and McQuillan signed and in the safe of
the Pittsburgh club we feel certain that
the doubtful stage as to material for the
coming season is past. We expect most
of the other players to whom contracts
have been sent to fall in line early. There
will, of course, be few hold-outs, such
as there are every year. but We believe
that the team we want will be on the
diamond when the season opens.
Many New Men Signed.
The men now signed by the Pirates,
besides Konetchy and McQuillan. are
Manager Clarke. Catchers Brenegan and
kafora. Pitchers kantlehner, Macarthur,
