Visit Of Chicago and New York
Clubs Increases Interest.
Several Clubs, to Be Organized
No League Formed.

Paris. Feb. 2s.-There are many indi-
cations that baseball will gain q real
foothold in France this year. The visit
OF the New York and Chicago teams
which are concluding their tour Of the
world VIII be followed by organized ef-
fort on the part Of many OF the French
admirers of the American game to pop
ularfze it here.
One of the handicaps to the growth
the conservation Of national resources.
Open grounds favornbly located are at
a premium and Land owners have been
loath to cut down their trees to make
room for diamonds. This prejudice Is
being overcome to some extent. how
ever.
The Racing Club of France, which al
ready has ball ground on its ex-
tensive property outside of Paris, is
planning to lay out three more dia-
monds this spring. Arrangements have
not yet developed to the league or as
sociation stage but games will be play
ed between teams of the racing club
and schoolboys. especially the Ameri-
can boys of the Latin quarter. and a
number Of games will be played at
Etretat, Havre, and other French cities.
The coinc1dent OF development of the
game in Spain is noted in a challenge
from nine in Barcelona which the
racing club here has accepted.
Those in Paris who hope to see
baseball interest increase here expect
French army training school. Four
members of the school have already
undertaken to introduce and teach the
game the coming summer. These in
structors have thoroughly studied all
the rules Of play and all the English
terms which are used.
The pronunciation by the French
youths is amusing to Americans espe-
cially as to foul" which is termed
fool and ely" which they call
''flea.''
W. H. Burgess, one of the Ameri-
cans here who is particularly interest
ed in baseball and who acts as umpire
at some OF the games, declares that
sports generally have not made the
same progress in France as in some
Besides the difficulty Of getting
playing fields" he says, 'the hours
OF the French school boy are extra.
ordinarily long. The average pupil /.
at his desk at 8 o'clock in the morn
ing and and Is not released until {
O'Clock, whereas in the United States
generally in the public schools, the
boys leave their desks at from to I
O'Clock. This gives them several hours
Tor relaxation. which is devoted to bal
playing or other forms Of sport. The
school boys holiday here is Thursda,
instead Of Saturday. Also when French
children want to participate in a base
ball game they are generally required
to tell their parents the names of thu
children with whom they intend t.
play. II certain boys are not Of equa
station the parents refuse to allow
| them to play and this feeling Of clas
! tends to hinder the development O.
baseball among the youth Neverthe
less the progress the past season wa.
exceedingly rapid and I look for 1
greater advancement in popularity tn,
coming season"

FRENCH PLAY BALL LOOKS LIKE PEACE
Fedefals and "A. A. Said 70
Have Playing Agreement.
President Chivington Says Not
-Weeehmaa Says Yes.

Chicago. Feb. 3ss-Followers of
baseball believed they read between
the lines OF a story published here
Friday news that organized baseball
had virtually recognised the ''belliger-.
ency'' of the Federal league
The story said that the Federals and
the American Association leaders had
agreed to arrange their playing sched-
ules 30 that conflicts in tho two towns
in which both are represented-Kan-
sas City and Indianapolts-Would be
avoided. Such an agreement would
indicate that the association, one Of
the biggest of the leagues in organized
baseball. had decided not to make war
on the Federals, but rather had con-
cluded to enter into q working agree
ment.
President Chivington. Of the Ameri-
can Association. denied any agreement
existed, but Charles G. Weeghman.
president of the Chicago Federals. de-
lon. tho Minneapolis American Asso-
citation owner. and George Tebeau. the
Kansas City owner, and that both had
practically promised there would be
no conflicts.
Neither league has prepared its
schedule, the associations usual plan
having been upset by the transfer OF
the Toledo team to Cleveland. Presi-
dent Somers. Of the Cleveland Ameri-
can league team, who owns the Toledo
team, also IL opposed to having Toledo
play on its new homo grounds until
Cleveland has opened the season there
and as Cleveland begins away from
home, the former Mud Hens" will
not have a game on their own dta-
mond until the season ID well ad-
vanced.
The Federal League will Withhold its
list of players until the arrival OF the
ship bearing the worlds tourists at
New York. President Gilmore. here
for today's meeting Of the Federals.
said there were four or five stars on
the ship who might be signed by his
league as soon as they land.
RED tape' surrounding the grant
ing of a building permit for his grand
stand has delayed the start Of work on
it, President Weeghman said. but Gals
sons for it will be sunk next Monday.
Larry Schlafly, manager Of the Buff
falo Federals, has arranged for trans
portation for his team to Danville. Va,
