time to come. 1t is a cinch that the
three owners shut out in the cold
would make fight, and by securing
injunctions they might be able to pre-
vent the new league working at all if
they were not let in.
This plan would mean that Weegn-
man would be let into the new league
with his Chifeds, and St. Louis would
also be admitted, the organization to
come under the regulations of organ
lied baseball. The other Fed hackers
would be reimbursed for their outlay
in preliminary organization so far
and the ban would be lifted on all
players who have jumped.
Just what would become of the
players under contract to the present
Chicago, st. Louis and Brooklyn
clubs is not explained. They would
not be given up by their present own
ers without a fight.
Numerous flaws can be picked in
this arrangement, and it sounds like
a far-fetched dream, though the ex-
pert who prepared it is not in the
habit OF reSortlng to pull at the
pipe.
Discussion of the elimination of
Murphy is a waste of time and space.
He will stick, and the fight this sum-
mer will be squarely between the
Feds and organized ball, with the pos
Sibility that the American League
will be only lukewarm in its defense
of the National should that circuit get
in difficulty with the Feds.

EVers is still unsigned by any other
club. The National Commission, it
is understood, will declare the Trojan
a free agent, and may also fine Muir
ply $4,000, that sum to be paid to
Evers for any aspersions that may
have been cast upon his managerial
ability by his beheading.
But the commission will take this
drastic step only on the promise of
Evers to remain in organized base
ball and go to some club under it's
regulation, probably Boston of the
National League, where he has been d.
offered $4,000 a year for four
year contract.
Joe Tinker, manager of the local
Feds, and a personal friend of the
deposed pilot, this morning declared
that during the day the Feds would
touch off mine that would shake
organized baseball to it's foundation,
which sounds important, whether it
means anything or not
Tinker was scheduled to confer
with Evers today after the Trojan met
President Gaffney of the Braves, and
it was reliably stated that he would
offer John $4,000 a year, with the
salary guaranteed by deposit in a
bank, to become a member of the
local squad of the new league.
Securing EVers would just about
make the Feds, especially here in Chi
cago, where Murphy's latest blow-off
means they will get heavy patronage
anyhow. He would be worth every
cent of the big sum named to don
uniform and perform during the
summer afternoons out around Clark
and Addison streets.
