Are Making Gallant Effort to Wreck the Team Re-
 gardless of Cost.
SCOUTS ARE WORKING
Alexander, Meyer and LObert Are the Phillie Men the Federal League Have Their Lines Out fOr-Make
 Many Tempting Offers.

Philadelphia, July 27.-Reports from an authoritative source bring the information that the Federal league is still busily engaged in try ing to complete it's efforts to wreck the Phillies. While the team was playing it's series with the Pirates last week, agents of the opposition league bounded DoOin's men continually
 making all sorts of fancy offers to them for next season.
 The fact that nearly all the regular players of the Phillies are under con- tract for one and two years made nc difference to the Federal agents. Alexander, Meyer and Lobert are the players the Federals have out their lines for, but so far as known they received no assurances that any of the Phillies would jump. Alex
 ander had signed a contract for three years with the Phillies and it is not likely he will be tempted by the of
 fers of the rivals.
 Meyer is also signed up for next year, according to the Philadelphia
 club officials. but Lobert's contract
 expires this year, and the Federals have announced that he will play thirG base for Baltimore next season. On the day Mike Doolan signed tC play with Otto knabe's team, Lober, was the recipient of an offer that he
 admitted was almost too good to re- fuse. LObert was under contract, how
 ever, and was fair enough to inform
 the Federal agents that he would dc
 nothing until his contract expired. He was also offered bonus for al option on his services at the close o1 | teh season. This bonus was said tt
 be $10,000, for an option on his ser vices for three years, and it was re
 ported that he was to be given three year contract for $500 year.
