SIXTH POSITION
Figures Show Chicago Fed
erals Team is Not Won
derful Organization.

New York. Feb. 2.-The first au-
thoritative lineup of Il Federal league
club is that announced by Joseph Tin
ker for Chicago. A careful analysis
of the batting and fielding averages
of those players We're either major
or minor league experience fails to
show anything sensational in the new
organization.
Chicago has been the hot bed Of
the Federal league movement since
the proposed circuit vas first discuss
ed and it is not that one of the strong
est of the available combinations

the sixteen players named as possible

in the minor leagues, while still others
played for obscure clubs. the records
of which. are not available.
Using the figures taken from the
major and minor league records OF

erals can ecu the services Of KILL
fer and other big leaguers. as original
IN claimed. the team batting and field
averages indicate That the Chicago
F'ederals would rank sixth in Ameri-
can league batting averages and be-
low last place in the National league.
In team fielding eighth place in the
National league would be their posi-
ton, n point better than the Eos-'
ton club. which finished least il 1918.
In the American league the. new Chi
cago club would fit in between Wash

In the first half the PLAYERS hit a
Whirlwind pace. Neither team was

ice and slipped in a score. This was
closely followed by another. and then
locals scored. The fastest play of

game was decidedly close with the
exception of the foul shooting which
gave the hill men the lead they show

Their guarding kept the score Of the

Moorhead forwards were off4on their
shooting and also ran into some. clever
guarding by the locals.

New York. Feb. 2.-Charles III. Eb-
bets, president Of the Brooklyn club,
said that his club Eve had refused
to accede to Tinker's demands, and
in sending the contract which Tinker
received today had taken the last step
necessary for the legal protection Of
its claims. =.
"a contract" said Ebbets, sis a doc
ument OF negotiations between the
parties interested. We had the right
under the contract which Mr.. Tinker
signed with the Cincinnati club, that
contract being legally assigned to the
BROOKLYN club to negotiate with Mr..
Tinker up to the end of January.
I'VE offered Mr.. Tinker the same
salary he received while a member
OF the Chicago champion club. MIR.
Tinker came back asking our repre-
sentative. Manager Robinson, for a
salary of $500 for a term of three
years. Since then we have had the
matter of Mr.. Tinker's demands un-
der consideration and finally therboard
OF directors of the Brooklyn club
Thereupon we sent him a contract
and letter stating that we. accepted his
terms. We registered his contract and
letter on the 9th day, of January,
that giving us four days leeway. That
action was taken after very careful
consideration. 80
I'VE never rejected his terms. We
are advised this action will protect
us fully and legally. The fact that MI.
Tinker acknowledges receipt of the
contract is entirely satisfactory to us.
We hope and expect that he will play
with the Brooklyn club"

TOWN AND COUNTRY.

While the initial idea Of the finer
things OF life may originate in the
white light of unselfshness. yet actual
progress is sure to be along the line
OF enlightened self.lnterest. The vast
majority OF us live by the hard, daily
conflict with material things; and II
is natural that before We move on to
higher plane of relationship with our
fellowmen we need to be convinced
that the move will make life easier
instead of harder. Il is this hard
headed sef.interest which is bringing
about a better understanding and
closer cooperation between the town
and the country.
In the last few years the town has
been learning that 1t is not only de-
pendent upon the country for produce
and markets. but also for citizens, and
that 1t increases both the amount OF
production and the amount OF trade
for the town to take an active, friend
ly interest in the country. Something
more the town has learned. The in
crease in the rural standard of living
not alone gives bigger market for
furniture and carpets and pianos and
plumbing fixtures, but 1t works for
health and excellence in the food pro.
ducts sent to town, and for a more
useful citizenship, when the farmer
and his sons and daughters move to
town. On the other hand, the farmer
has learned that all his virtues are
not impounded in his 100 acres. He
has been cultivating the acquaintance
of the banker, the dry goods man, the
town mayor, the man who runs the
flour mill, and he finds they are pretty
good fellows, trying to be honest and
fair Moreover, he has discovered
that every increase in population, ev
cry new addition to the high school
and every new church built, every
street paved in the neighborlng town
adds directly in dollars and cents t
the values of his acres. He has beer

material growth of the town, because
