FEDERAL S MAY DECIDE
TO ENTER CLEVELAND

CLEVELAND. Ohio. Feb. 11.-Al-
though the Federal League magnates
landed a solar plexus blow to the
hopes OF NJ. F. Bramley and other oIt-
law league supporters at the meeting
in Chicago Saturday, when they turned
down Bramley's application for a
franchise, it is believed that Federal
Leagueism is not a dead issue as far
as far as Cleveland is concerned.
People close to the Federal PROPOSE
ton here are of the opinion that the
Sixth City will be granted a franchise
in the new organization before the open
ing of the season. They believe that
the early games will be played at Luna
Park, and later transferred to the new
Federal Park.
Bramley himself is authority for the
statement that the Federal League is
a dead issue locally for this year SO far
as he is concerned He didn't like the
shower of cold water thrown on his
prospectus by the Gilmore organiza-
ton, and says that 1914 will find him

Evers said he himself had been

would appear as though he has been
shabbily treated by one to whom he
was most loyal. incidentally. the
movement means that O'Day will enter
upon his duties as chieftain of the Cubs
under the most adverse of circum-
stances. If he makes good all will be
well, but should he fail in the task that
has been assigned him by Murphy he
will be subjected to some of the worst
criticism that has ever been aimed at
a leader in baseball.
In addition to erring gravely at the
psT Geological moment, 1t would appear
as though Murphy has taken another
huge section from the speedily decreas-
ing period when he will be allowed to

But it is recalled that Bramley made
a similar announcement before leaving
for New Mexico a couple of months

again until Bramley returned from his

have had some intimat!on from the out

Murphy said today that he consid-
cred O'Day one of the braIniest men
in baseball. He said that the Cincin-
natl club did better under O'Day than
under any other manager ever in Red
