TIME Federal League says: 1--WE
are going to repeat what Ban
Johnson did twelve years ago.,
That all sounds very nice, but they
seem to overlook the most important
item that twelve years ago conditions
were entirely different from what they
are to-day Twelve years ago the
larger cities of the country had base
ball games only on half the days Of
the season. The balance of the time
their plants remained idle. Ban john
son was quick to note this condition,
and for that reason his combined ex-
ecutive skill at organization and his
hustling ability to interest capital
seemed easy compared with the pres
ent-day solution.
The Federals must face a condition
which presents every available terri
tory already well supplied with base
ball. Continual baseball is now played
in all the big cities. The fans, OF
course, have no preferences. Give
them a high-class winning team,
whether it belongs to National Amer
lean or Federal League. and they will
lend to it their presence and patron
age. All the world loves a winner,
and the baseball fan is no exception
to this rule.
So that in a careful investigation of
the new movement we come to the
conclusion that a fat bank roll will
tide them over and enable the Fed
erals to surmount any obstacle. In
| the period of few years back when
frenzied finance was ruling the in
dustries of the land it might have
been possible to enlist aid in suffi-
cheney to put the thing over. Now.
with new tariff laws and currency
bills and a tendency to curb the
trusts and monopolies, well, things
might seem different, and the back
ing so necessary to make a success of
the present venture may be a hard
task to enlist.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 14.-Johnny
Kilbape, featherweight champion of
the world, demonstrated that he is a
legitimate featherweight notwth-
standing all the printed comments 10
the contrary. by jumping on the
scales Of his training quarters at
Lieperville, Pa, and proving that
after exactly two days work in five
weeks he weighs just 125 pounds
That's nothing" remarked Kill
bane, after he stepped off the scales,
Il can make 11S pounds ringside. and
be just about right for the champion

Kilbane laughed at the many news
paper stories to the effect that he
often entered the ring at 100 poands.
