Once in a While Player Would
Rather be Busher Than a Major

TT WOULD seem TO be the ambition
of every young ballplayer 10 obtain
- berth in a major league, and yet
there are several instances where
players have preferred TO remain in
the minors. These ambitionless indi
viduals are rare, but they have crop
ped up from time TO time
These fellows appear TO have the
idea that they would prefer to be a
hero In small town rather than a
comparative unknown In a big city

CIRCUMSTANCES SEEM
TO BEAR OUT OPINION
ss2p
m the Fight Seems To BE Be
tween National and Federal
Leagues
BY RALPH L.. YONKER

"A wellknown Detroit baseball far
who doesn't care to have his name
used publicly, comes through with Z
theory regarding the establishment o.
the new Federal league and the &C
tons OF the American and Aationa
leagues towards Ii that furnishes ma
terial ut least for a lot OF interesting
speculation.
II believe" said this fan today that
the American league looks with favor
upon the establishment of the Fedora
league, hoping that in time il will SC
cripple the National league that 1t viii
leave clear field for the American
league and it's interests.
"There are many things that seem
to bear me out in this contention. In
the first place, you will notice that al
oksthe real baseball stars that the new
league are getting come from the Ma
tiopal league.
saTinker Is obtained from Cincinnati
or Brooklyn, as you choose, but both
National league clubs. Mord Brown
Is obtained from Cincinnati. Otto
Knabe is obtained from the Philadel
phia National league club.
George Stovall is the only man OF
Importance VINO has been obtained
from the American league. and he was
not wanted In that organization, any
way, and furthermore he was in bad
with President Johnson.
ssWhile the Federals are signing
up players from the National league
almost every day, according TO press
r&ports. the members OF the White
Sax team are sending in their signed
cohtracts to Comiskey. Even Ed
walsh, who Is supposed TO be one OF
the men sought by the Federals, has
sSht In his signed contract.
with The exception OF one or two
ofthe minor Detroit players. under
stand that the Tigers haven't been
t&mpered with. Reports have been
made that several were offered con-
tracts but they denied them.
"Furihermore the attitude of the
National leaguers at all times seems
tos be, Fight EN- Murphy, president
or the Chicago club, wants to carry
tEe battle into the courts and so on.
On the other hand, the attitude or
the American leaguers seems 10 be
speace.' Ban Johnson, president OF
the American league, says: wei
come the war with the Federals, If

Rane OF many OF its undesirables.

whom he means by undesirabes.

en- out Of that city and put4Rto To
ronto.
Mike Cantillon. who is reputed 10
be close TO the American league, has
property in Chicago which he has
made or is making available for the
Federal league
This all looks to be as II the Amer
lean league were looking fayorably
upon the new league.
What will be the result il the new
league Is successfully established?
II am inclined 10 think that the
two leagues will consolidate al least
III interests II not actually and per
haps stamp out the National league
altogether. Think what an immense
advantage il would be 10 the Ameri-
can league if 1t could stamp out the
opposition OF the National league in
some OF the eastern cities. Take
Now York alone, for instance. IL
would be worth a whole lot If the
Yankees had New York 20 themselves.
Then there is Boston which could
stand a lot more Red Sox patronage
As | understand the relationship
OF the two big leagues now they are
