Fight Is Over.
Federals Win,
Avows Tinker

CHICAGO, Feb. S-If the major
the Faderals and today Joe Tinker,
manager of Chicago Federal league,
team, broke loose with The assertion
that the fight was all over, that the
Federal league has won ana that the
majors were ready to knckle down and
be good, allowing the players who have
signed with the Federals to go back
and play With the baby organization.
Tinker declared that following the
scheduled meeting of the majors that
the big leaguers would agree that the
contracts must be upheld and that the
men who had signed with the Federals
would have to play with the Federals
and could not jump back and forth.
Tinker did not explain why he was
confident that the battle was over. but
insisted that Red killifer. who signed
with the F>ederals and then jumped to
Philadelphia. would play with the
Federals, and he also claimed that
Williams. Baumgardner and Agnew. OF
St Louis Browns would be seen in
the lineup of the Kansas City Federal
league team and not with the Ameri-
can league organization.
Tinker also said that court proceed
ings would be necessary to force the
majors to play with the Federals. as
their. contracts with the Federals
would hold them and that the ma
jors would be forced to recognize that
these contracts were binding and stop
counting on the services OF these men.
Tink.r's confidence was increased as
a result of the meeting today of the
magnates of the Federal league, when
1, was stated that harmony ruled and
that the magnates We're in financial
ly strong enough position to insure the
thorough success or the organiza-
ton.
Tinker said that for their own pro-
lection the International league and
the American association will insis.
that the Federal league be admitted to
organized baseball to prevent plsyers
being grabbed from them. as they are
apt to be the worst hit, by the depre-
dations OF the Federals.

Edited by Harry Tucker.
Editorial Column.

In response 10 many Inquiries we
take pleasure in explaining clearly
what the enabling act is. First of all
the reader viii have Ia be a taxpayer
TO understand what. we are talking
about. Tho man who has not paid
his taxes and who is not a member
of the clan. cannot see the point, be-
cause only those who .Aae enough
interest in the goings on OF the times
can appreciate the wisdom Of the
measure.
The enabling act is a bill designed
to give relief to the strained condition
of the house OF delegates and the SEN
ate, through its leading lights like VIII
lfams Myers. White, Wendenbury,
Oliver, Hart, Cannon and others. AZ
ter man has qualified himself to
have vote next year. by having paid
his taxes for the past three years on
or before o'clock of last December,
and has his receipt in his pocket, or
becomes of age in the meantime, he
may ask the judge to fix his ticket for
him whenever the election is held;
provided, however, that the Judge be-
longs to the same club.
This act cannot In any way inter-
Iere with that offered by Delegate
Toney to place the fine of small for
tune on any one who dares shave HIM
self, black his boots. warm his coffee
or do any other laborious thing on
Sunday, because you 90 not have TO
vote upon such an occasion. and If
you wish to make wines. cider or beer
in Virginia, you can do So, hat you
can't sell ii here, nor you can't invite
your friends around to drink ii all.
II the act becomes law before
1920. II will become effective AZ the
time the eminent statesmen now chew
ing 1t to pieces get through with it..
and there will in all likelihood be no
resemblance to the original bill as t
started on its checkered career. No
other law on the statute books can
interfere with the operations of the
enabling act, although the lawmakers
are now making arrangements to pro-
vide the measure with a pair of nice
comfortable crutehes. so that progress
may not be impeded when 1t gets To
the pee-pni. The act is also designed
to give all the dealers in the demon
rum the chance to get rid of their
stock, before the new vintage comes
in, but the principal thing in connec-
ton with the act is when Is it.
