WHOA! NOW COMES
A FOURTH LEAGUE

Detroit, Mich, Jan. 15.-Detroit which
was passed up by the Federal league
may yet have an outlaw" ball team
this year.
Plans which are now in a very nebu-
lous state are on foot to organize adj
other league on much the same lines
as the Federal and, if the project goes
through, this city will be in the circuit.
The men behind the movement to form
a new organization say that there is
plenty of room for another league like
the Federal, and that a number of cit
les which could not get in the latter
are clamoring for baseball of just this
sort
In addition to Detroit, it is said that
Milwaukee, Chicago, Cleveland, Wash
ington, Providence, Scranton, Pa, Bos-
ton and New York are ready to join
in league of the kind under consid.
Grafton
The promoters have sounded several
cities, they say, and claim they are
meeting with lot of encouragement.
In Detrcit they have selected a piece OF
property on the east side, within the
two mile circle and expect to have an
option On it before the end of this
week. The name of the man seeking
the option and the exact location Of
tn lot cannot be made public at this
time for obvious reasons, the deal be-
ing still in the air
John T, Powers. former president of
the Federal league, who was ousted
from that circuit recently, was in De-
troit a few days ago 1t is believed
that he is the real instigator of the
new league idea When asked for a
statement regarding the possibility Of
the proposed organization, he declined
to commit himself, but said that such a
plan seemed practicable.
Il believe that an eight-club circuit
similar to the Federal league could
be formed of good towns left out bv
that organization, said Mr.. Powers,
"The way they fought to get into the
Federal league shows that there is a
field for so-called outlaw baseball in
many places where there is only one
national agreement club at present"
