President Gilmore of the Federal
League produced his "Pittsburg million
ARE hacker OF the team In the Smoky
City yesterday. He was introduced as
Ed w. Gwinner, former contractor,
and he admitted that he had taken over
the control OF the club from w. A. Kerr
Associated with him, he said. was c. b.
Comstock, New York architect who has
done considerable work for the Ward
Bread Company and has prepared plans
for the new stands at Washington Park
Hes got sl0.0OO,000." said Gilmore.
Guess that's pretty bad backing, eh?'
Gwinner was inclined to be more mod
est n his claims. but said he guessed he
had enough money to go through with the
project. He said he would not build a
new park in Pittsburg. but would paint
up the old wooden stands and make a new
entrance.
George s. Ward said Gwinner and he
were schoolmates and this capitalist had
nothing but money. Reports from Pitts
burg placed Gwinner's wealth at some
thing like half a million and stated
further that he was reliable man OF
good business standing.
W. A. Kerr. who sold out. got into
baseball by necessity. He built the ball
park In Pittsburg and did not get his
money. He took the place under lien
and the price paid him Is said TO have Just
covered his actual losses.
