LEARN LESSON
FROM OLD WAR
Tight Pennant Race in Federal
League Interesting to Fans

New York, June 27.-'I could wreck
the American and National leagues in
As hours if | signed all the players OF
these two organizations who have
asked To be taken into the Federal
league" Those spoke General Gilmore,
commander mischief Of the Federal
forces. as he toyed with "A check for
several hundred thousand beans which
was to be used as bait for jumping
ball tossers.
When Gilmore's bold assertion was
repeated To Bancroft Johnson, the ma
ior- general of organized baseball, the
NJ. G.. said: IF there are any OF our
players who are ready to jump to the
Federals | say let them jump, so we
may know who they are and rid the
sport OF men who are in the game for
purely mercenary reasons"
If the Federals decide to make any
considerable increase i'm the number of
star players no won their payroll it
will be for the purpose OF Gripping the
older leagues and not because the Fed
erals need the players. A few well
known players added to the circuit
would, perhaps, boost the gate receipts
here and there, but if the Federals con-
tinue To stage the tight pennant race
they have been putting up Of late they
are sure to get the coin with the pres
en- linc-ups.
From the viewpoint of the fans a
real pennant race is one in which every
team in the league has q chance to cop
the bunting. At the present time the
Federals appear better able to furnish
a race Of this sort than either the Ma
tional or American league. So why
should the new organization load up
with expensive players. many of whom
have been in fast company number
Of years and soon will be ready to
take the down grade?
The experience Of the American
league in the matter Of distributing
the playing strength should be taken
as a lesson 10y the Fedcrals. When the
American LEAGUE was organized a small
number Of National leaguers were in
a sprinkling Of big league talent among
the minor leaguers chen in the outfit
the American league served up To the
fans some of the hottest pennant bat
ties in the history Of the game.
Then came the wholesale raid on the
National league and soon the Ameri-
can league circuit was cloggcd with big
league stars. \ short time later the
stars began to fade and the Americans
found themselves pretty much in the
same fix as the old National league
with circuit that each season COM
prised from two to four teams that
didn't have even an outside chance for
the pcnnant.
Perhaps the Fcdcrals can get away
with the star-grabbing stunt, but even
il they do it's dollars To doughnuts
they never will be able to put UP a
more interesting championship strug-
gle than they are STAGING right now.

FRANK KRAMER
is KID AT 81
Cyclist Still One of Top Notchers.
Age No Handicap

Newark, n. j., June 27.-Whenever
Frank Kramer rides here or wherever
the champions exploits are talked Of
the conversation among the fans soon
er or later swings around To a question
of his age and a resume of his doings
upon the cycle tracks usually turns
upon a general discussion of how the
sturdy East Orange star stands the
arduous campaigns.
Called by his intimates Old Stevic,
by admiring friends old Boy, and by
fans in general as Old Reliable people
have come to look upon Kramer as a
real old man. He is not.
Recently the question was put direct
to Kramer as to his age ana he blush
ingly admitted he was in his thirty
fifth year. thereby disposing effectually
of those yarns of many years circul-
lation that the champion was 40 and
over. In these days of high tension
and extreme speed in cycledom 80 has
come To be looked upon as old and
even If not old, at least as marking the
time when n rider slips back into sec
ond division and let's the other and
younger stars lead the way.
Kramer, however n non smoker and
drinker and a stickler for training has
lasted better than others and that's
why he is able at this day and after
riding continuously for seventeen years
to take on Jackie Clark, most danger
Gus of those to be feared, in a match
Iace which marks one of the most inn
portant steps in Kramer's 1914 career
lie still is fit to give battle to the best
of the challengers. And not only fit
but eager.
