WHY Is THIS?

Last summer, there was a differ
ence between the Ocala WyCT.U. and
the Marion-Sdmter Fair Association,
in regard to the former organization
distributing literature on the fair
grounds The difference was settled
at the late meeting of the directors,
and that it was settled in a manner
satisfactory to the w. c. T. U. is
proven by the following, which was
published in the Star at the time;

KNABE TO LOSE NO TINE.
Aims to Sign Men Before Majors
Can Do It-After Doc Miller.

PHILADELPHIA, January lotto
knabe began his career as a Federal
League manager yesterday by wiring to
various ball players offering to sign them
to- contracts to play with the Baltimore
club, to which he jumped Monday night.
Knabe started out to get In touch with
the players he desires as soon as posi-
Bile. He figures that the major league
clubs will get busy now trying to sign
up their stars. and several other mana
gers in the Federal League have been at
work so long that he must keep busy to
catch up with them. II would like to
get Runt Walsh and Doc Miller" said
Knabe. Miller told me in New York
last month that he was through with
base ball. I'll bet. though. that. he signs
to play with Baltimore"
Knabe also said that he will have his
players train In the SOUTH He will take
trip to that section in a few days and
pick out training camp. Knabe will
go to Baltimore in few days to estab-
lish his headquarters. BY that time he
expects to be able to report to the Off.

Match play is where the winning or

much confusion of the application OF

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PHILADELPHIA, January 1.-THE
signing of Otto Knabe to manage the
Baltimore Federal League club is the
biggest trick yet pulled by the so-called
OUTLAWS" Knabe follows up the veri-
fication Of the report that he has signed
with Baltimore with the statement that
he already has received one-half Of the
salary promised him and also that he
has all kinds of money at his disposal
to get other players
This show of financial strength on the
part of the Federals will prove an eye
opener to the men in organized base ball.
There was a futter of anxiety when 1t
was announced ten days ago that Tinker
and Brown had signed with the Federa,s.
Then came the announcement that
Knabe, Tim Sheckard and others had
been signed as managers. These reports
were promptly met with deniais from the
players.
Will Go After Stars.
But that the report was merely pre-
mature in the case Of Knabe is now
certain. It is reported that Otto will
now go out after number Of star play
ers, including Sherwood Magee and
Gavvy Cravath of the Phillies. Other
men that he is likely to try to induce
to sign with his team are ''Runt" Walsh
and Doc Miller, former members OF
the Phil'ies, who were released to the
Montreal club a few weeks ago. Miller
has declared that he intends to retire
from the game for good, but as he is "a
close friend Of Knabe's 1t would not be
surprising to find DOC signing with
Baltimore. I
The loss Of Knabe is a hard blow to
the Phillies. Although there were marry
followers of the Daisies: who did not lflke

it was generally recognized by those close
to the team and by members OF other
clubs that Otto was one OF the brightest
ball tossers in the major leagues. He
was always hard worker for his team
and he had habit Of fighting for his
club on the field without getting punish
ed by the umpireS or arouSing undue
antagonism on the part of his opponents.
Valuable Player. -
one of the most valuable players on the
Philadelphia team, and his value was
very little affected by the fact that he
was greatly disappointed at not getting
the management Of the Cincinnati team a
couple Of years ago..
Early in December the Phillies' officials
again tried to make a deal with Cincin-
natl so that Knabe could crafty his. am
bition Of becoming a team leader. This
could not be done and Otto returned from
the National League meeting, where eff.
forts were made to pull off a deal with
the Reds. disappointed. 1t is believed
that Ned Hanlon, the big man Of the Bal
timore Federals, at that time began get
ting the wires in shape to land Knabe.
Otto's action will undoubtedly be quite
shock to the Phillies officials It will
also keep them worried. for they will
now be in constant fear OF other men,
bers Of their team going over to the
enemy. 1t is not likely that Magee will
be induced to jump the Daisies. It is
reported that Sherwood has already re-
ceived advance money on his salary for
1914. II such is the case it would be
useless for any league to attempt to sign
him, even If Magee could be induced un-
der ordinary conditions. to cast his for
tunes with the Federals.
Baltimore's coup coming on top Of the
warning sounded to the Federals in the
report of Chairman Hermann of the ma
tional commission, will undoubtedly cause
the base ball men now assembled at Gin
cinnati to get busy and endeavor to pre-
vent any more breaks in their fences.

The players fraternity, having been
satisfied by the concessions the national
commission has made in regard to certain
rules affecting the players contracts. the
order restricting the players from sign
ing for next season undoubtedly will be
lifted Immediately.
With the players free to get umaer con-
tract, good line on the probable
strength Of the Federal League can be
gained. The outlaws have claimed they
would raid the old leagues to the extent
of fifty or more ball players just as soon
as the ban against signing Was lifted,
and the opportunity to make good this
boast will soon be at hand. .,
1t will be but matter of Dew weeks
now when the question of whether the
Federal League will be in the held next
season will be decided.
On what the newcomers have accom-
plished up to date their chances look
none too bright Aside from the sign
nothing has been done to indicate prog
ress. In most of the cities mentioned
as belonging to the new circuit sites for
grounds have not even beell selected,
while nothing definite is knewn as to
the makeup of the teams Reports are
to the effect that just as soon as the
players find themselves at liberty to sign
the Federal League will be able to make
good its boast that 1t will draw a lot OF
stars from the major leagues Time will
tell.
The benefits which the players will
derive under the changes made in
their contracts will really prove triv-
ial. The reserve rule has not been mo-
Tested. 1t is to the credit of the play
ers that they recognized the mistake
which would be made If the reserve
clause should be abolished. 1t would
probably mean the disruption of or
ganized base ball under which the
players have prospered every bit as
much as the club ownev- Yet the
fraternity seems to have served its
purpose. 1t has been given a hearing
and has been made concessions.
1t may be a mere coincidence. but it
is causing no end OF gossip, that the
Federal League seems to be training
! it's guns exclusively on the National
League. Stovall is the only American
date, while at least three others who
have been picked to manage teams
have been taken from the ranks Of the
National League. Whether this pol
Icy will be continued in signing play
ers from time to time, of course, is not
known.
