FEDERALS TO aim
AT OLDER LEAGUE
Gilmore Applies Salve to
Any Sore Spots Ban
Johnson May Have.

The war Of the Federals against or
ganized baseball is TO be aimed chiefly at
the National League.
James A. Gilmore. president Of the out
laws. said last night: Ban Johnson is a
man ] honor and respect We appreciate
what he has done for baseball, and we
are going to strive to keep the game at
the same level or higher I'm our league.
I am glad that the American League has
put the whole question OF our activities
into his hands"
He also expressed high regard for
Charles Comiskey. the president OF the
White Sox. Although he added that his
organization was after players from either
the National League or the American
League Mr.. Gilmore intimated that In
Chicago the Cubs would be the target.
The cases against Killifer. OF the Phil
lies, and kirkpatrick, Of Brooklyn, who
are claimed by both the National League
and the outlaws, will be brought into
court within ten days. according TO Mr..
Gilmore. lie said that Joe Tinker had
been summoned to New York to sign up
a few players.
Several stories current about the out
laws we're denied by Mr. Gilmore. He de-
clared that Charles Weeghman, who has
been reported TO be behind several clubs
I'm the Federal League, owned no stock
in any club but Chicago He also re-
peated his denial that the new league
would try 10 find foothold In New York
this year.
The Federals will train in not more
then I'VE camps In the South. The play
ers will be pooled, and on the basis or
the showing they make in the South di-
vided up to make league OF equal
PLAYING strength.
Although anticipating no immediate
agreement Mr.. Gilmore said that the
Federal League would be wiling to come
to terms with organized baseball ANY
time we can get the best Of the bargain"
Mr.. Gilmore and his associates will be
here for several days more.

this contract Murphy had no control

not been for that Murphy would have
disrupted the organization and we would

Murphy" he added. lis a menace TO

the Federal League an opportunity TO

"I DO not think the Federals have a

for third major league than there is
for fifth wheel on a wagon. Had II not

has been interested in the progress or
Chip, that there was a strong likeliho ID
OF the Newcastle miner meeting Gibbons.
The same man said that it was known
TO many that Mcfarland did not banker

self on the record of never having been

Gibbons.
Chip has been trying for some time to
get an opening in New York. but at
present is nursing broken hand. The
