PEACE PLAN HAS
 BEEN SUGGESTED. St. Louis Sports Publisher Has New Seheme-lnternation League lg- r,nrad.


 nored. A. H. Spink of St. Louis, publisher of a baseball weekly newspaper, has suggested a plan to bring about peace between the Federal League and or! ganized baseball without the elimina- ton of the new league. He says:- Nearly every ten years there comes a baseball war.
 The first war on organized baseball was in 1884, when the Union Associ- ation came into the field. The second war was in 1890, when the Brotherhood movement was launched.
 Ten years later-in 1901. to be exact came the next war, when the Amer ican League took the field against the National.
 Now comes the war between the Federal Lague and the clubs of or ganized baseball
 These wars are always due to the fact that every ten years the game the ten years previous, and increases the patronage and playing area. When these conditions arise base | ball enthusiasts here, there, and else | where are called on to meet the de- mand for new bench room in the parks and new fields for the players to play on. And when these conditions are met there naturally comes 8 war be- | tween the newcomers and those who have been going along and profiting by | their monopoly of their particular fieid But after each of these wars, which l always prove disastrous in the end to park owners and players alike, there | comes a peace compact and draw | ing of new lines.
 | The present war between the clubs ! of the Federal League and the clubs | of organized baseball has been disas- | trous to many an despecially on the part of club owners there is an earnest l hope that the present baseball war will soon be ended. But all parties to the controversy are unwilling to admit that they either hope for peace or want it. The features of Spink's plan are.- = | National League-New York, Pitts burgh, Brooklyn. Cincinnati, Boston, St: Louis. Philadelphia, Chicago. | American League-New York, De- troit, Boston, Cleveland.
