FEDS DESERVE

 MAJOR LEAGUE
Republicans Baseball EX- pert Hangs Crepe on Idea That Newest League is N, G.-Points Out Husky Batteries
By Scoop)

Organized baseball had better look q little out take 4 tumble to itself, get wise pick itself up and blink three times before breakfast every morning. In the discussion that has been rife during the past three or four months, regarding the Worthiness of the Feder- als to take rank along with the two so- called major leagues, the big boys in the two organized leagues have gulf fawed loud and nervously about the putting in of the buccaneers Expres- sions of derision and disdain and dis like have been common. They have said, The Feds-a major league? Haw Flaw flaw" in a loud and raucous tone of voice.
 They have predicted that the Feeder als would never reach intact an open
 ing series. They have confided in their friends that the upstart league would wither and die of hamilton. just as soon as the newspapers in which it seemed to be created dropped the sean dal and started in to publish real base ball neWs-neWs of their own little do ings.
 Such has not taken place, however. The Federals are officially alive and WiESling, They have played two games With crowds at the twO-in two cities totalling as many as they generally have at big league world series open- ing So far there have been no con flcts of schedule. But some wise heads are saving. You just wait until Chica- 90 gets Federal and m American league game You'n see which is which, Yes, dearest. you will likely see James J Callahan. while here with his White Sox last March told the writer straight out that the Feds had a good park location. and would make i good in Chicago before they would in i any other town. He referred casually ; to C. Webb Murphy of the Cubs as one ff the possible excuses for the success of the upstart league.
 Feds Major Leaeuers? Ire the Federals major" leaguers. Ay, 'tis so; 'tis cen so. Because the league pays unlimited salaries. and 10 players who are not subject to drafts. This makes it technically of the same class as the National and American. But there are other and stronger arguments The big leagues have pointed out with a degree of contempt that the batteries of the new organiza : ton would be made up of east offs. junk from the large and growing heap maintained by the two older aggreg,- tionS Veterans who had outlivcd their ability to hop 'em over the pan and beardless youths whose names are as unknown as their fame is limited. woald comprise the mainstavs of the teams As hinted above. il would be- hoove Nat. and Amy to look to their eye

 There was much dissension in the senatorial ball team yesterday when Manager Baum and Captain Barrett were figuring on using Miss Lake of the Jacobs company on the team against Mesa Sunday afternoon.
