25th ANNIVERSARY OF THE BASEBALL WAR :,
 OF SECESSION

To the Old-ttmers of the diamond stnis is a memorable anniversary, for it was just a quarter of a century ago today. on November 1879, that the baseball war of secession was de- cIared. Then as now there were two major leagues in the held-the Ma tionaI, organized in II 876, and the old A1nerfcan Association, which dated from 1882. In 1884 the outlaw Union Association had tried to establish a third major circuit, but it failed mis- eFably, and croaked after a single disastrous season. A little later the big league players organized Broth erhood.s which soon became a base ball power.
 In 1887 the Brotherhood was strong enough to force the n1agnates to grant a new form of contract There con tinued to be many disagreements be- tween the plutocrats and the players. however. and during the season of 1889 the disaffection reached the point on revolution. It was then that the players matched the idea of starting a new league, to be operated by the Brotherhood.
 John M Ward, the famous Giant shortstop. now 8 prominent lawyer and one of the principal packers of the Federal League. was the chief of the baseball rebels. At a previous crisis Ward had favored a, strike of lAA0 p4c1y OOI 1IO WAS OutNOSCo " the other members. The scheme for a new league struck the players favor ably, and they backed Johnny almost to a. man.
 Old Cap Anson of Chicago turned down all of Wards propositions, but so complete was the revolt that Pop was left with only one player, Burns, all the rest. including Teners the pres ent head of the National League. join ing the insurrectos. On November 4 l18s9a the Brotherhood exploded its | bomb by announcing the formation o1 ] the Players League, with clubs ir New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Buffalo.

WILL PACKEY MCFARLAND
 CHALLENGE WELSH NOW?
(Rx T. s. Andrews

Milwaukee, Wis, Nov -4-Wi1l Packey Mcfarland, the pride of Chi cago for several years, return to the ring and meet Freddy Welsh. the. champion lightweight of the world in a. title match at the British limit or. will he decide to meet Mike Gibbons of St. Paul at 145 pounds ringside and class it as being for the worlds vel terweight title? Reports have been made from time to time that Packey had made up his mind to go after Welsh. win the title back for Ameri- ca and then retire. Such a plan would not meet with the approval of Ameri- can fight. fans, as was pointed out recently by San Francisco writer.
 It would only put the lightweight title in 9. tangle, the same as the mid dleweight and welterweight cham pionships have been mixed up for the past few years. What we want is an American champion who will try and defend the title against all corners as long he can do so ecessfulIy and add to the fame-of this country in the boxing world. Whether Packey can make 1S5 pounds at three o'clock and be strong is a, question that the Chi cago lad only can answer, for there are few who really know his correct weight.
 A match between Mcfarland and Gibbons would be even more inter esting to the fans, as it would bring | together two of the cleverest and craftiest ring generals before the pub lie today. Both are past masters at 1 the game and it would be a treat to watch them without a doubt A club at Denver is reported to have offered l a purse of $20,OOO for Welsh and Packey and $10,0O0 for Packey and I Gibbons. The Queensbury A. c. of Milwaukee has offered to do even
 better than that on either match, so
 if the boys are really in earnest about i getting together they need not hesi-
 tate on account of not having good I offers. The Queensbury promoters l have authorized raise in the bid o1 l $5,00O for the Gibbons-McFarlan
 match and the distance would be only
 half of what would be expected al i Denver.

Marty Walsh, the big sptbaH hurl- CT, who pitched fine ball for Bridge port last season, has jumped to the Brooklyn Federa1s. <On account of the fine record he made with the Bolts, Walsh attracted the attention of the outlaws and Treasurer Walter Ward of Brooklyn announced last night that he had secured Walsh. This makes the second loss the locals have suffered by outlaw raids. Harvey Russell Jumped to the Baltimore Fed erals last winter. The assertion of Walsh will be 8 hard blow to Bridge port for the local management had figured on selling bim during the wn- ter.
 They can't leave Connie Mack alone this winter. The latest rumor is that he will buy some stock in the New Americans and take charge of the news for New York fans.
