II is difficult To persuade the public
thai the scenes in photoplays are real
and that actors must undergo many
ordeals in order to obtain the effects so
essential to a realistic picture. Stage
tricks have led the public to think the
plunges over falls and other strenuous
scenes are free from serious results.
In the moving picture line this is not
true. The actors must do things and
the artificial does not serve. Recently

the Federal League roster are more
populous on the whole and with the
exception of New York, than those
of the National and American
Leagues were at the time of their in
ception.
AS for New York, if he Federal
League should become successful it
ought to break into New York with
a roar.
the people follow the leader" like a
bunch Of sheep more unanimously
and more spontaneously than New
York. There is a golden shower
awaiting the Federal League in New
York if it makes good elsewhere,
even, perhaps. If the Giants continue
permanently at the top and the Yam
KEGS improve sufficiently to give New
York first-class baseball every day
in the season.
Plenty Of pig League" Cities.
But New York is unnecessary to
make the Federal League successful.
There is enough baseball money in
the other cities to support a big
league.
Notice that the Federals propose to
invade only three old big league cit
ies-Chicago, st. Louis and Pittsburg
In Chicago Charles Webb Murray has
made a mess of the National League
for long time. He has been look
ing for trouble. It's coming to him.
In ST. Louis--which used to be one
OF the best baseball cities in the
United States and where the public's
money flower like water into the
clubs coffers-the magnates of both
major league teams have been killing
the goose that laid the golden egg
for so long that it ought to be cinch
for somebody to walk into the city
with a good baseball attraction and
skim off the cream without a nights
worry.
Pittsbure Ripe for Feds.
Pittsburg has seemed ripe for two
teams for a long time. Every year
the magnates have thought seriously
of transferring the American Detroit
franchise to Pittsburg. 1t appears
that there is capital behind the Fed
eral League movement in Pittsburg.
Now consider the other five cities.
Baltimore and Buffalo used to have
big league clubs and supported them.
They were, and are, not particularly
less baseball mad than such cities as
Cleveland, Washington, Detroit and
Cincinnati are. Kansas City and In
dianapolis are much larger than many
big league cities We're when the old
major leagues were organized. To-
ronto is a live, thriving, active, up
to- date American municipality.
There is no question of the popu-
lation being sufficient to support big
league teams.

CHIEF WRITES

President Gilmore DiscIoses the

BY James A. Gilmore.

~HlCAGO, Jan. 17,-Despite the
dire predictions made by some
of the baseball wiseacres and
the attempts on the part of certain
officials of the older leagues to be-
little our organization, the Federal

made in this particular And when

in baseball has during the past few
years grown to IA point where the

thought long and well before | con
scented to enter actively into the new
league, looking the matter over care
fully from every standpoint, and
after making numerous trips about
the circuit, and comforting with the
gentlemen behind the clubs in the
various cities, realized that the Fed
eral League was destined to become
far greater organization than any
one had at first imagined. Personally,
had for years had faith in the estab-
lishment of third major league, but
had not realized before that the field

encouragingly by others.
] am proud of the personnel of our
league. In all of my experiences 1
have never met a finer or more bust
nesslike set of men than those own

cation as it stands to-day, and while

more or less hard shedding during
last season, reports from every city

viii see a big change in the attitude
of the public toward the Federals
When the 1913 season opened the
popular phrase was, They won't last
until August" We finished the sea
son and the fans began to sit up and
take notice. Then when we enlarged
the league, took in new blood and
new capital and reorganized along
business lines, even the wise ones be-
gan to have faith in us and our. sub
sequent actions have tended to
strengthen this faith.
Will Pay for Real Stars
Regarding our plans for the future,
| wish to say that we do not intend
to become unduly antagonlstic to any
other organization, nor are we con-
writer's have intimated. We simply
intend to go ahead along progressive
business lines, standing firm in the
defense of our own rights and avoid
ing infringement on the rights OF
others. We do not intend going after
anybody's property and will not try
to induce any player to go into the
Federal League who has already
signed TO perform IL any other or
ganizatlon. We do not believe in
doing business that way However,
we have no hesitancy in going out
after those who have not affixed their
signatures to 1914 contracts, and [
think the public realizes by this time
that we have both the inclination and
the financial backing to pay fancy
salaries for high class talent.
We have been more than fortunate
thus far in our selection of managers
for the coming season. We have had
! numerous applications for the various
managerial positions, but the very
number of them was our protection
and not until we were convinced that
we had found the best man available
for the place did we do any official
business We could have landed
many cheaper managers than those
under contract, but we did not believe
we could fulfill our promises to give
the public first class baseball unless
we laid the foundation by engaging
first-class leaders at the start.
