Split Patronage.

The existence Of the Feds this year
in some of the cities that had TO go the
limit to hold their players win cause
splitting of patronage, and, Of course,
will reduce the income OF the organized
clubs affected. Other organized clubs
whose cities were not invaded by the
Feds with franchise will feel the ef-
feet through the fact that the Feds
grabbed off some of their stars. The
Philadelphia Nationals are one sample.
The Feds shared Knabe, Doolan, Sea-
ton, Brennan and also lay claim to Kill
lifer. No club can lose five of its best
players and not feel the effect.
The Feds also raided the class IA teams
OF organized baseball. and did Il so eff
fectually that they almost have wrecked
some Of the clubs. This has caused the

TWO ENLARGED
LEAGUES MIGHT
SOLVE PROBLEM
Federals Could Be Divided
Among National and Amer
: leans, Making Twelve
club Circuits.
ARRANGEMENT WOULD
PROBABLY END WAR
Continuation of Present Strife
Can Only Result in De-
creased Earnings for
Organized Ball.
By FRANK @. MENKE.

NEW YORK, March 2l--In the not
too dim and distant futnre-unless the
present dope is wrong-orgapizcd base
ball will clutch the heckling Federal
league to its bosom and peace will
reign again in the land And, unless
the signs point wrongly, the consoIi-
dation will result in the formation of
two twelve.club leagues, the American
league absorbing four of The Federal
league IS CLUBS, and the National league
tacking Oh TO its circuit the other four
Fed clubs.
Looking at it from any angle YOU
wish, it seems that the ending of the
war, no matter what the compromise
will cost every one involved, will be
Tor the best interests of the magnates.
And because the Federal league will n-
sist that it's clubs retain a major league
status and because the organized base
ball persons now maintain there is not
room for three major league organi-
zations, the difficulty will be overcome
bv forming two twelve club leagues.
A "decreased - financial season faces
most Of the organized major league
clubs this season, and il g possible
that the dry spell, as far as income is
concerned, will continue for two or
three seasons. All this is the result of
the activity OF the Federals. The Feds,
in their fight for players, forced the
organized clubs to boost salaries to the
highest notch in history-to point
where it seemed almost prohibitive.
But the organized people, facing the
alternative of having their clubs
wrecked by the invading Feds, or of
making their payrolls topheavy in the
extreme, chose the latter and wiser
course.
