MacFarland, IN measure, for the

The Federal League is apparently
going right after the big stars in
| the fold of organized baseball. What
the outcome will be will bear
on the future of baseball. Already
the salaries of the players are far too
high, yet the activity of tho Feds is
sure to drive them higher. Take
Walter johnson, the Washington
clubs twirler for instance. The Feds
have offered him $4,000 for next sea-
son. He says 1t isn't enough and he
will stick to Washington. But If the
Feds should come through with $780,
600 for three years it is believed gem
orally that Johnson would jump.
Other famous men OF the diamond
are also being approached, and the

make the roads rocky for the "regu-
lars" Maranville. Rudolph and
Gowdy, of Boston, are marked for
attack, and 1t is known that one or
two of the Brooklyn players have
done a little flirting with the Feds.

II was whispered to me around the
corner last night that two Newark
business men had been negotiating
with Charley Ebbets for the
purchase of the Newark club. A
conference was held, but nothing
definite was arrived at. Outsiders
are also said to be interested in the
purchase of the local franchise. One
, yarn had It that Mr.. Ebbets would
sell part of the club. and that a New
York newspaperman would come over
here and manage II. There are other
stories and stories, but Mr.. Ebbets.

II he is ever able to get rid of his
holdings here. He has his own way
of doing things, and he can explain
them beautifully, but his whole
heart naturally is in the Brooklyn
club and Newark doesn't come in for
much consideration.

George staliings didn't fool any
body by picking every member Of
his own team for his much-adver-
tised Ali-American team. What else
could the poor fellow do? However.
on the genuine Ali-American teams
the Braves should have good show.
There is Maranville for certainty.
and some will pick Evers for his
brains. Rudolph can't be passed up
as one of the pitchers, and Schmidt
at first base will get on some of the
teams. Gowdy looks like one of the
best catchers, and Stallings as a
manager need take back seat from
no one. The Boston Braves, as Stall
lings says, may be the best team in
the world, but It is not the best ALI
American team, we know.

must score at the finish. instead OF
five, which was the< case previously
1t is claimed that the new rule is not
a fair one and that 1t works particu-
larly against Central High. A letter
from a Central High student herewith

the above committee are from schuo' S
