1t seems that the world is getting

play. When | was catching behind

GIFTS TO FED STARS
Automobile for Each Player on
Winning Team.
Scheme Proposed by John Montgomery
Ward, Old Giant shortstop, to
Interest General Public IN
Games Being Played.

Federal baseball league officials. not
to be outdone by organized baseball,
which has its worlds series spells to
bangle before the eyes of players. will
go their rivals one better in the wayof
a prize by giving $4,000 automobile
to every member of the team which
wins this years Federal pennant.
Although no official announcement
to this effect has yet been made by the
independents, it can be stated that
President Gilmore is working on the
plan and will give the public the de-
tails as soon as he completes them.
AS there are scarcely more than
hundred percentage points between
the first and last teams in the Federal
league, there is almost an equal chance
for every one Of them to get the big
prize
The pennant winners, however, will
not be the only ones to share in the
new leagues PHILANTHROPY. At the
end season jury of newspaper men
will be asked to pick out a team of
Federal star players and these will
be matched against the league cham
pions. Games will be played after the
close of the season similar to the
worlds series, but the contests will
take place in several cities in order to
give most of the fans a chance to see
the games.
For instance, if Chicago wins the
pennant a game surely would be
played in Baltimore, where Mike Doc
lin, the great shortstop holds forth;
Brooklyn would get game because
Tom Seaton would be picked by the
men for the All Stars; indianapolis
would also see a contest because Cy
Falkenberg, and so on along the cir
cult.
The Federal promoters believe that
the great stakes would prove a power
full incentive to the players. This,
however, is not the real object Of the
plan. The idea is to get the public
interested so that when a fan goes to
see a game he will know that the
teams he is watching are out for blood
