Young Charley Ebbets is authority
or the statement that five able and
intelligent citizens OF these United
States are desirous of purchasing the
Newark Baseball Club and that the
cam will be sold Just as soon as his
ather arrives from the West, where
lie is getting q very interesting earful
If important baseball news. In his
statement Charley. jr., says that two
T the prospective buyers of the local
Tub are Newarkers, one is a Brook
yn man and the two others are out
iders. Mr.. Ebbets also had q few
ther things to say. but the fans here
bouts will be satisfied If his say that
he club is to be sold Is only true.
Despite the fact that the Ebbetses
nd the McKeevers gave us cham
'ionship team, there was never much
ondness for our relationship with
Brooklyn. Our players were entirely
90 handy, and the elder Mr.. Ebbets
.lways did say that he felt at liberty
o take any man at any time he
Iesired on the team. We don't agree
With him in that respect, though we
aspect Mr.. Ebbets In many ways
lie, we know, will be delighted to get
ut, and the fans, we know, will well
ONE new man at the helm, 1t is a
mutual feeling. We would say.

Peace In baseball seems to be near
It hand and if the war Is settled and
he minor leagues are given a show
It all Newark will be valuable as
et. This city Is looked upon at the
present time as one of the best minor
eague clubs in the country. and If
,iven half a show 1t would positively
,e the best. Newark has never been
reated fairly In baseball. It has
been run either on a cheap scale or
Is a side issue. What is wanted here
n Newark is more liberal and pro-
gressive plan. A new ball park is
needed badly and a man at the head
If the club who will give 1t some
ocal prestige is also required. AS an
in times of peace, the
Newark club is a beautiful chance,
put the management must know It's
business.

Peace Is In sight. 1t had TO como.
The men who own the game are not
all fools The regulars" might blow
and huster and the outlaws" might
show their teeth a thousand times,
but the men who shell out the dough
will go only so far-and not very far
at that. Garry Hermann, chairman
Of the National Commission. has
given out a statement to the effect
that the warning factions will join
hands before very long. James A..
Gilmore, president of the Federal
League. Is talking along the same
lines. 1t is believed that about all
the plans have been agreed upon and
that the war will be declared at an
end before the week is out.
