! laws are worried over the regulars.
During the past week a "get'together'
session was planned. in which Ban
johnson. of the American League;
! Governor Tener. of the National
League, and James Gilmore. Of the
/ Federal League. were supposed 70
discuss the present situation. The
meeting didn't materialize. Gilmore
was willing 10 so behind closed doors
with johnson and Tener. but when
Garry Hermann. chairman OF the
/ National Commission, WAS put in as
an added starter the president OF the
outlaws" rebelled. He would take a
chance with odds Of two 10 one

asked to make ii three-to one Gilmore
asserted his independence. He is said

as well satisfied that Newark had

for baseball" Mr.. Chaplin has a soft
spot in his heart for Newark. He
does considerable business in the city
and he visits us once in a while.
G
Mr. Chaplin is what is known as a
game sport He was inveighled into
baseball through the purchase-just
for the sake OF local pride-of $3.50
worth of stock in the Rochester Club.
but the promoters kept at him until
he had $25, 900 in the proposition be-
fore he took cent out of it. Liberal
and alert, he went out after a win
ming team, and he finally landed the
championship. In Camel he secured
a manager who knew well and acted
wisely. He built up in the winter,
when others We're sleeping, and as
result he won three remnants, and
has always been a keen contender.
He has u good ball team now,
although the Feds have been rather
unlxind to him. But it is a good thing
for organized baseball that the out
laws" didn't win Charley Chaplin over
on their side. He has brains as we'll
as money, and he would have been an
awful thorne in the side of the ''regu-
lars" if he was on the other SIDE OF
the fence.
@
Brains and money have been ep-
ponents in many a battle, and money
hasn't always come out first best.
The Federal League today has plenty
of money, but the magnates don't
know how to spend it. What is need
ed in the fold are few sharp-witted
men-men who can put over the
punch when the opportunity arises.
In that respect the Feds are lacking.
President Gilmore is what is known
as a smart man, but he doesn't know
baseball. Every little while the out
laws" pull a Barry" play, and the
only thing that keeps them in the
hunt at all is the fact that the ''regu-
lars" who are bigger and stronger.
pull two Barry plays to the out
laws " one.
G
Rochester will be out after the In
ternational League pennant again, of
course, and Harry Smith viii have
to be on the job at all times if he
hopes to beat out the Hustlers with
his Newark Tigers. Manager Camel
is a fine picker and his selections of
big league cast-offs generally prove
very capable. He will have a good
team That is a certainty, for he
has man back of him who will
spend the money and who never in
terferes with his plans.
C
Harry Smith would like to win an
other pennant for Newark, and he has
hopes of some day being more than
manager of the Tigers. He is we'll
liked by the fans here and nothing
would suit him better than to be
financially interested in the team.
Newark has a big, bright future in
baseball, and Manager Smith is quick
to see it, He has been anxious to in
terest local business men in the club,
| understand, and he has a wealthy
and progressive florist on his staff
who has given baseball considerable
consideration, l am told If it wasn't
for the Federal League Newark
