are not going to support them. The
figures showing the attendance for
the opening day for the outlaws"
and for the regulars are fairy
startling. The Feds got away to more
than $4,000 on their first day. while
the Orioles played to 1000 on Wednes-
day. The rival teams FLASHED yester-
day and the figures given out were:
Feds, 1000; regulars" 200. One Eal-
tinore paper remarked that the crowd
was the smallest that ever attended
an International League game in that
city. Poor Jack Dunnl He is de-
serving of better fate. He has
worked hard to get in the business
and now it looks as if he would drop
his bank roll.
H# q
1t is claimed that the same story
will follow the opening of the Feds in
Buffalo. There the fans are supposed
to be very strong for the outlaws. 2"
With Baltimore positively up against
it and with the prospects rather du-
b.ous at Buffalo, President Barrow
will have to stiffen the backbone of
more than one magnate to hold those
two cities in line throughout the sea-
son. This is only too true. The Bal
timore magnates may stick, but those
fellows up in Buffalo, according to
their own story, would have sold out
to the Feds at the very start of the
war if they had only popped the
question. After such a declaration,
if Barrow keeps the Bisonic bunch
paying salaries very long he will be
doing great work.
The opinion is though, that Buffalo
will not go over to the Feds very
strong, and that the International
League will be able to get by at least
this season, especially if they are
winners and the outlaws" are not
up in the race. On the success of the
Feds in Buffalo, L am told, depends
the invasion of the Outlaws" in New
ark. If Buffalo fails to give the
proper support the Federal League
may decide to shift the team. The
Fed slogan is now, I'VE will stick to
the last" but 1 know that Newark
has been talked over as a very de-
sirable place in case something hap
pens.

In verses and prose, in enthusiastic
words of honor, admirers of Frank l..

who love him like a big brother and

| honor is the most celebrated and
wonderful rider the world has evel

abroad from almost every country
speedy, classy, intelligent riders; we
have seen masters of the wheel who
| had with them qualities of rea
1 champs; champions who had APP
parently more speed and strength
/ than Big Steve; others and others
who impressed us with their ability as
riders. But no one, in our opinion
can call himself truly equal to this
| giant of the wheel, this phenomena

riders. His honesty, his confidenc,
and his intelligence will win for hin
