NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-After be-
ing in secret conference all day at an
uptown hotel the big men of the Fed
eral league, VINO arrived here his
morning, announced that there would
be no compromise with organized
baseball, no acceptance of a PROPOSE
ton that might take care of the Chi
cago Federals. and that the new In
dependent league well equipped as to
players and money, would not only
start the season, but would 60 through

A big entry list is assured for the
coming anter-eity tournament The
local boys have come nobly to the
front In the nrst two days and the
entries have exceeded all expectations.
In the five men events and the singles
the entries have been very encourage
ing to the committee in charge: while
In the doubles the local bowiera have
had rough road to travel, owing to
the fact that there are four different
leagues to pick from, and great
many of the players wish to hitch up
with their favorites. In order to quail
ify in their class, lot Of head work
has to be used. in order to make II even
for all that will compete in the big
series.
Judging from the big showing made
in the past ten days. and with the
final day now at hand, 1t Is no telling
what the results win be when the en-
tries have been counted tonight. Sec
rotary Jake Rowsey has been busy all
the week in getting everything in
readiness for the big show. and when
the decorators put on the final touches
the Palace alleys will present most
spectacular view.
All will be left to- the pin knights
to put up the big scores. One most
notable feature Is that the merchants
have made a big hit by offering hand
some prizes to the bowlers to compete
for. The Newport alleys have made
a great record. as more than twelve

In other words, the big moguls be-
iieve that II Charley Weeshman is
allowed to buy the Toledo franchise
and move the club TO Chicago the
restaurant king will run right out on
the Feds and take the doughbags with
him. Charley Murphy is riotous In
his protests against such a procedure
as II will cut heavily into the receipts
of the Cubs, He claims that 81 club
cannot be put in Chicago without the
unanimous consent OF both leagues,
and feeling tina tway has grabbed two
votes in addition 10 his own 10 pre-
vent Mr.. Weeghman from being set
in by reclamation.
While Governor Tener is inclined to
join Ban Johnson and the other anti
Murphyites in choosing this line of
least resistance, he is also strongly in
favor of taking the reserve clause into
the courts and having the question
of the title of ball players settled for
once and for ali.
What the international league will
do is problematical. Fearing the in
vasion of the Federals, the Barrow s
circuit wants to place a club in Wash
ington. but Clark Griffith is opposed,
and intends to fight the proposition to
a finish.

Squelch Federals
at the Expense Of
Tener's Dignity

For the first time in history. the
leaders of three big baseball leagues
will come together in a conference
New York is the place. and tomorrow
the time.
The purpose. Of course. Is to fight
off the Federal league invasion, and
a lot of mahogany will be polished at
the half-mile track in the Waldorf
hotel buffet, ere the moguls depart.
Not since the early Dos have the
three big leagues put their heads to-
gether, and it Is expected that before
the order to adjourn IL issued many
momentous questions win have been
settled.
Those Federal leaguists have got
to be stopped even at the expense OF
some OF the dignity supposed to have
crept in when Governor Tener took
the reins.
