FEDS WANT TOPLAYIN
 WORLD SERIES GAMES

While it may be true that in your national agreement we are classed as an enemy of organized baseball, the phrase cannot survive the force of time and the demands of the sport loving public. Your national agreement contains no provision prohibiting you from an honest contest with any ball club you may see fit to meet, and before either of the two clubs in organized baseball who win pennants in their respective leagues can claim the worlds championship they must in some manner play the winner of the Federal league pennant.
 We therefore suggest in the interest of the game that at least for the time being we forget our differences and our acts of war and peacefully, in keeping with the spirit of American business men, arrange a schedule for a worlds cham pionship between the three leagues
 Copies of the letter were sent to Au- gust Hermann, chairman of the commis sion; Ban Johnson and John K. Tener.

With two gone in the eighth Ellam trippled and scored when Holland booted Tragesser's grounder. Tragesser stole second, Brown singled to center and when Dunn dropped Jennings throw at the plate Tragesser counted.
 Longs error of McDona1ds fly, Mo- Donald's steal of second and third, Stewards walk and McBride's single tallied the final run in the ninth.
 Singles by Kircher and Long and Bisland's triple netted two runs for the Crackers in the sixth after two were gone. Dunn made no attempt to catch five of the seven pliers made on him. Everyone had big time. Scot ty Chesnutt pulled bad decisions just to hear the players crab and then laugh at them. A coincidence of the game was that neither Robertson nor Tragesser. the Birmingham battery. had a fielding chance of any descrip- inn
