MAY MOVE INTO
FED TERRITORY
Outlaw Team in Chicago in DAN
ger of Having Another Club
to Fight Against.
By Bill Bailey.

|H1CAGO, Jan. 12.-Take squirt
at the buried ace in the hands
of organized baseball.
The Federal League is to have a
cub on the North Side, with Joe
Tinker at the head. All right! Or
gsnized baseball sits back and
watches developments. If the third
league is a frost, there is loud guf-
fsw. Everybody says he knew 1t
and a few real stars wonder how in
the world they are going to break
into the organized game.
But if it is a go from the start,
then watch organized baseball. The
residents of the North Side wake up
some fine morning and discover that
they have two clubs in their vicinity
where they had but one. The Fed
eral is still there. But organized
baseball has thrown another club
into the territory.
Get the idea? If the North Side
club begins to cost the Sox and the
cubs too much money, the Federals
will have competition right at their
door And You can wager that the
opposition will be the kid that will
hurt too. Said opposition will be
represented by a ball club that con-
fains some stars, and strong enough
70 give the third league club run
for its life.
TT may be loser But organized
baseball will be called upon 20
pocket the loss. And when that is
ororated it won't amount to SO much
al that -.
The scheme is under consideration.
the team has been discussed. It's
gone further than that, and the team
IN the league has been considered.
More than that, baseball men have ar
idea that Guntler Park could be Sc
cured as a site for the fight
Il may be the Minneapolis club
which will be brought into this vi
entity to give battle to the Federals,
or it may be the ST. Paul team. Both
are of the American Association.
Here is the scheme. Surprising tibet
he Federal is a go from the start and
it becomes evident that the third team
IS going to cut into the American and
National League clubs. There's
meeting of men in organized base
hall one of these teams is selected TO

the owner, of course. ...-
He shows what he did in financial
IL way with his team the previous
year. Then he is instructed to 90
along, throw his team into the North
Side, and if there is a deficit it will
come from the war fund. He'll he
guaranteed against any possible loss
and will be assured of earning Just
as much as if he remained in his own
territory.
On top of that. he will be given
ball team that will put UP the brand
Of baseball that the third league does.
The practical baseball man knows
that the fan does not care a great
deal what the color of the uniforms
are or to what league the club belongs
% as long as the baseball is on dis
play.
That's the ace in the hole. and the
men in organized baseball believe that
Il second club on the North Side
would draw sufficiently to make the
Federals a bad investment.
In which event they would be well
satisfied even if they were compelled
10 dig into their pockets and make
10 loss for their own team.

r.. hot accept Gunboat Smith
as the real thing among the
white heavyweights of the day,
the Gunner can claim the honors
for little while at least. Luther
McCarty was the last man to hold
a clear deed to the title, and as
Pelky was the last man to bat
tie him, he had as good a claim
TO the title as anybody. Now
that Smith has disposed of Pelky,
his path is clear. About the only
man thought to stand in the Gun
boats way in the least is Jess
Willard, and only last August
Smith defeated him in a twenty
round battle out on the Pacific
coast.
THERE'S one admirable thing
1 about Smith that should en-
dear him to the fight fans. He
has the punch and isn't afraid to
use it, He is aggressive and
fights all the time, although the
accounts of his battle with Pelky
would indicate that he used more
than his usual amount of caution.
He simply wanted to make sure
of it-that's all.
LANCING over the field, there
~ isn't much in sight in this
country right now for Smith, and
we wouldn't blame Jim Buckley,
his manager, much if he sought
foreign shores for game. There
is a nice purse awaiting Smith on
the other side with Georges Car
pentier as the opposition. mas
much as both Frank Klaus and
Billy Papke. beaten middleweights
of this side, have trimmed the
French star, he shouldn't be much
more than an ordinary handful for
the Gunboat.
TT is impossible to take Tommy
L Burns seriously in his report
ed wish to he a come back. The
roly-poly Tommy would require
weeks to get into shape, and we
doubt if he ever could be fitted
for a hard battle. It's hard to fig
ure out how a man of Toms
means-for he must be worth
close to q quarter of A million
dollars-can wish to take up the
narrowing grind again. But there
surely is glamour about the spot
light of the ring that doesn't at
tach to any other game. This is
the only way we can figure out
the Burns desire to try and re-
gain his title.
