right or wrong. lie may not always
weigh his words or consider fully the con-
sequences but. somehow or other. he mas
a way Of doing and saying things when
carries punch. and for that reason MS
value TO the American League Is the
greater. Ban Johnson also is philosoph-
zeal. or presumes TO be, when facing a
situation that seems inevitable. Appar-
entity no man In baseball is less concerned
over the threatened invasion Of protected
territory by the Federal League. In fact'
ne welcomes the outlaws with open arms

There is absolutely no reason to scout
the Federal League men or view with
contempt the organized effort being made
to cut for themselves a good sized slice
Of what TO many is a luscious baseball
pie. II is high time. in fact. TO accept
the outlaws seriously. In truth. they
themselves have forced the powers Of
organized baseball TO recognize the ad-
vances made. ! am a great believer in
the proper government and control Of any
sport. and for the proper conduct Of base
ball the reserve clause and the restriction,
or better. perhaps, protection of terri
tory. are absolutely essential. 1t is right
then, for organized baseball 10 properly
protect. under the meaning Of the nation
al agreement. such clubs where inroads
are being made. but only, in my opinion,
10 a point where il does not restrict the
general advance of the game or does not
Conhne the fans to minor league ball
when they are willing and anxious to
pay for something better.
This condition. however. can be estab-
lished only by an uprising or war, If
such Il may be called. so that Ban John
son is right in the main when he sug-
gests that such revolution has beer
needed for two or three years. In plain
words, the time seems TO have come for
third major league There Is hardly
a doubt that Baltimore and Buffalo could
support clubs in that class, and that
Pittsburgh is quite as able as Philadel-
phia or Boston 10 keep two teams in
reasonable prosperity. Brooklyn, too
might he included. as the territory is
broad, In the West the same condition
obtains. so that if the Federal League
can establish itself on a sound financial
basis IL simply means readjustmcnt OF
territory to meet the new conditions. anC
no doubt a stronger and better standard
ization OF values and salaries
