BY FRANK G. NnENkE.

NEW YORK. Feb. 21.-The Fed
eraI league circuit in 1915 will be
stronger and more compact than the
rather unwield1y one with which the
Federals will open the 1914 season.
Pres. Jas. \. Gilmore OF the FEEDER
ais refuses TO state definitely Just what
cities viii be dropped in 1915 and
which new ones will be taken in. but
from one OF the men close TO Gilmore
and the Federal affairs comes the tip
that Kansas City. indianapolis and
Buffalo VIII be Supplanted by Glove
land, Cincinnati and either New
York city or Washington.
The Federals just now arc at work
building stands that will seat from
1000 10 $4,000. With the exception
of Chicago. 81. Louis, Brooklyn anU
Baltimore. the stands being erected
are regarded as temporary structures
Az little money as possible is being
put into the erection OF these stands
no doubt because II tx planned 10
abandon them next year.
The 1914 season will be some
thing OF an experimental year for US"
said Gilmore. For many OF Us IL Will
be the first year in baseball But we
are learning fast; We are learning
new things each day, and already
We have learned through the horrible
mistakes made by the organized base
ball people.
The fans are with us. They know
we have made a mighty hard fight
against tremendous odds against
odds SO big that few persons ever
thought we would last right up TO
now. But we're here 10 stay-and
Wen stay a good bit longer than any
other parties who have been here be-
fore us.
we mean to give the fans major
league baseball, and when they come
to our parks and see the games,
guess they viii admit that they are
getting it, Some of our enemies have
declared that our lineups will be COM
posed of 'has-beens' and 'neYer-wus-
sers' That's a bit laughable.
1T is true that we have some vet
have two or three good years of base
ball in their systems. Long before
they are forced TO go into the discard
many Of the youngsters we have will
be ranking among the brightest stars
that ever shone on the diamond. We
have under contract now some young
players. heretofore unheard OF. VINO
will prove to be sensations in their
first year out.
Had we cared TO sign up players
already under contract TO or2anized
baseball. we could have secured the
signatures Of at least $50. and among
that number are the greatest players
in both of the big leagues. But
when we started out we announced
that we would not sign up player
who was under contract and we have
adhered to that rule"

Hap Hogan Starts Speed School For His Pacific
Coast Leaguers; Turns Slow Boys Into Sprinters
BY HUGH {. FULLERTON.

Theory and Practice have played a
lot of games with the hOnors
even and Practice always claiming
the championship. Oddly, Theory
never has been given credit for any
thing and old Practice has copied all
the glory Now we are to have a
real test, for we have found one advo-
cate of Practice who is willing to form
a combination with Theory and see
how il works out.
There Is a perennial baseball plant
named Hap" Hogan. woh is about as
clever practical baseball man as ever
held the reins over a bunch of ball
players. He happens TO control the
Venice, Cal, baseball team in the
Coast league. and just lately he had
the common sense 10 get Doc" White
the famous left-handed pitcher for
years the mainstay of the Chicago
White Sox and known throughout
baseball as "the sane left-hander" to
handle the club.
Then Hogan had another theory.
His theory was that there is no rea-
son in the world why the Coast which
produces more and better baseball
players than any section of the coun-
try. should not have the best quality
of baseball.
Just as he was in the mood along
came Mr.. Theory in the person of
Boyd Comstock. athletic coach of the

Hogan listened. He listened hard
and then he said "ShOw me-"
Comstock. a sprinter. coach and
theorist, outlined his theories as to
how baseball players might be taught
to start, to stop, to slide and run the
I bases a Ia Cobb. Hogan remembered
that King Kelly OF Chicago taught
every member of the old Chicago
White Sox the famous split slide"
and fall away" the hook slide and a
few other things. If one man could
teach all baseball. why not try out
Theory. He told the college coach to
| go ahead and try his theories.
Comstock knew that ball players
are poor starters as any runners
in the world, that they are usually
slow in getting under way; that they
are slow starters in stealing bases,
and he argued that the start is the
chief part of running the bases.
Hogan lined up his best catchers
and pitchers, told the pitchers. to hold
the runners as close to the bases as
possible, ordered the catchers TO
throw their arms off, and sent his
players down to first to give Theory
