NEW YORK, Dec. l1.-Robert b.

which he briefly states the case OF the
outlaw league Ward is one OF the
real financial hackers OF the Gilmore
league, is a man OF unquestioned in
tegrity and business ability, and what
he has TO say carries more weight
than a similar statement from almost
any other man connected with his or
ganization.
Ward said that the Federals are in
the baseball business. They have in
vested lot OF money. and expect TO
spend more. They have goods 10 sell
baseball tiekets-and they are try
ing to make their goods worth buying.
The fans, TO them. are customers. Mr..
Ward asserted ttat he does not know

said When il is all gone, more will
be supplied" That is an important
statement, because the Brooklyn mag

member or the Federal league ever
sought peace We were first ap
preached by Mike Cantillon. who said
that he represented organized ball.
We have never made any peace over

He then mentioned the signing OF a
number OF O. b. stars as proof that
the outlaws are still pushing the fight
and making good in their promise TO
