in not going into Gotham. That is
the big place and the place for big
league ball clubs. BY keeping out of
New York the outlaws have made
'bloomer." and all the loud talk
of Tiptop Ward won't convince the
public that he isn't talking at this
time for the one purpose of COM
promise.
o
Ward, with all his money, will find
baseball a very expensive game. lie
may be the greatest sport in tne
world, but he will eventually become
sick and tired of going down into
the WELL payday after payday, for
more wealth. He may even take
what is known as an lawful beating. F."
but as time goes on and money goes
out and there isn't any relief in sight,
old "Tiptop" Ward will throw up the
sponge and cry, Hold, enough!" just
as quickly as the next one.
o
The big men in the Federal League
are already beginning to see the light.
They are wise to the fact that they
have in their circuit few cities that
will never be of big league dimen-
sions. They feel it in their bones that
Kansas City and Indianapolis are
| boomers and they have their doubts
about Buffalo, despite the t1attering
opening up in the Queen City. They
know. if they know baseball, that
/ their circuit is a joke, and that it
cannot exist more than the present
season. Some of them do know this
! and are free to admit it, but others
say they will stick to the ship and in
sist that the present circuit be kept
| intact. Well, if the Feds go through
the season without a shift in their
cities they will deserve credit for be-
| ing gamesters, even Il they are ac-
cused of being unwise business men.
But next year-next year will see SO
many changes that the fans on the
circuit won't know their own league.
@
That the Feds have come to stay
no one will deny. but the only way
] they will be able to exist on any
thing like a business basis is for
them to compromise with organized
baseball. That the regulars" will be
in a receptive mood there isn't much
| doubt, and that next year We will see
three major leagues with teams in
gone conclusion. The little fellows in
the little cities who took a chance
Will be reimbursed, of course, but
when the magnates of both factions
! go into executive session sometime
! between now and this time next year
you will not hear Tiptop Ward shout
! ing Down with the 'regulars!' Let
US go 1t alonei" No, you will find
| Mr.. Ward, who is a tiptop business
man, striking the best bargain pos
sible. His team, now that he has
such a fine ball grounds and is in a
town in which there is only one or
ganized baseball club, will surely be
allowed to remain, but when the enc
mics of today are the brothers of to-
morrow there will be quite a little
shifting OF scenes and healing of
wounds.
C
Although some OF the Feds will
say there is nothing to it, reports from
Cincinnati say that the Kansas City
Club is going to be transferred to
that city and that work of erecting
ball park will be started imme-
diately. Indianapolis, too, is also on
the list of doubtful cities, and there
has been talk of transferring the club
to Detroit. Buffalo isn't big enough
to support two teams, and the Feds
will probably be the first to move
They may go to Boston. All these
moves are being well studied. But
the best conclusion is that both sides
, will get together and cease theil
fighting before the players get al
the money,
