was that there would not be a com
promise. The Feds insist on being
recognized as big league or
nothing. and they will not stand for
being sidetracked to the minors
Efforts were made, 1t is said, to
have some Of the big money men of
the Feds buy into the major leagues
and to have others join hands with
the International League and the
American Association. This, it seems,
the Feds refuse to do. If the war
continues, everybody knows that the
Feds will lose money and that or
ganized baseball will lose money.
The International League cannot live
with the fight on. and neither can
the American Association. For that
reason, I would like to see peace re-
stored.
1t was whispered around the hotel
that Toronto would very likely take
the place of Kansas City in the Fed
eral League if a compromise with
organized baseball is not effected
| That would mean another Interna-
tional League city out of commits
sion. 1t was also said that Charley
Ebbets was going to sell his Newark
club and that Arthur Irwin might be
the purchaser. This, of course. is
contingent on whether peace reigns
or not. Ebbets also plans, 1t Is said
to move the Jersey City club over to
Brooklyn in the event that peace is
not restored. But if the war con-
tinues there viii hardly be any In

Charley Weinert called at the Eve
ming Star office this morning to learn
if Percy Woodruff had covered his
forfeit of 500 for thousand dollar
side bet for match between the
Butcher Boy and Jim Savage. He
was told that Woodruff hadn't an

down his money. Weinert was very
pensive today. and refused to say
| anything. He admitted he would like
| to talk a whole lot. but said, "Oh,
| what's the use" Weinert, like other
! fighters, is being badly advised by a
| few false friends. who come under
the head of heroworshipers. He will
learn to his sorrow, and shortly, too,
just how much such friendship
amounts to. One hundred thousand
examples could be pointed out, ii
needs be, of similar cases as Wei
merits. He is now in the limelight,
and he is being worshiped. But let
him get a good whipping and a few
Universities and then look around for
his false friends and see where he
win find them. We reap as we SOW
and Weinert is sowing a very bad
| crop these days. He may be sue
cessful for a time, but he will find
in the long run that his false friends
of today will either be no good to him
or will ignore him when he needs
them most.
