BARROW D1sCREDITs "FEDs. -
League Not Fighting Fairly-Will
Battle to End.
]. ]. MepERMoIT

NEW YORK, January 13.-Edward Bar
row, president of the International
League. in a statement yesterday con-
corning the proposed invasion of the Fed
eral League Of three International League
cities, Toronto, Baltimore and Buffalo,
declared that the new leagues leaders
were not fighting fair, and predicted that
their tactics will only bring them to
grief
I'm the first place. Mr.. Barrow con-
tinued. they are trying to masquerade as
a major league when they never can be-
come one. They will have about four
major league players to team. but that
will not make them a major league. They
have a minor league circuit. Toronto,
Baltimore and Buffalo turn out good
crowds. but they do not turn out major
league crowds.
1.-THE players who jumped to the Fed
erals were disloyal to their employers.
Men like Tinker. Brown and knabe were
know that loyalty to the reserve clause is
one Of the foundations of organized base
ball and as much a part of their contract
as their salary.
IT will say that the International League
will fight these fellows to a finish in any
of our cities where they intend to place
teams So far have not heard of them
signing any Of our men, though I have
three letters which the Pittsburgh Fed
erals have sent to my players. I might
add that these players were not offered
as much as they are getting in organized
base ball.

FEDERAL LEAGUE CHANCES
NOT AS GOOD AS AMERICAN

higher grade than that of the Federals.
When the American League came into
the field there Was room for another
major league. The game had deterior-
ated under the mismanagement of the
National League, and attendance had
fallen to the lowest ebb. There was
public clamor for opposition and tho
American League really had easy sail
ing.
The American League, which today
shares with the National League the
hegemony of the base ball world, is the
only organization in the history of the
sport to conduct successful war with
the National League without subsequent
ly losing the fruits OF its victory through
diplomacy or legislation. The time was
ripe for the invasion which the American
League made, which accounts for its sue
cess and subsequently prosperity.
The handicap which the Federal League
viii have to shoulder when its chances
are compared with those of the Ameri-
can League few years ago are perhaps
pest realized when comparison of the
two circuits is made. The American
League had little or opposition when
II came into the field 1t had some vir-
gin territory, while the Federal League
Is confronted with strong opposition and
condttfons.which do not demand a change.
Not only Is the game OH a higher plane
nowadays, but the accommodations are
OF the hest. The circuits of the two In
vadlng leagues are given below.

BY J. ED GRILLo.

The contention that the Federal League
las as good chance to succeed as did
he American League when 1t expanded
In 1900 and 1901 Is not based on facts.
Conditions have vastly changed In the
years that have passed since the Ameri-
can League forged into major league
ranks. In those days there was little or
no opposition encountered by the in
vaders, for the National League at that
time was torn by fierce internal con-
vulsions and in no condition for a fight
1t was in 1900 that the Western League
became the titular American League.
The circuit was then made up of Chi
cago. Milwaukee. Indianapolis. Detroit.
Kansas City. Cleveland, Buffalo and
Minneapolis. Major league status was
really reached the following year, when
the circuit was expanded; it consisted
of Chicago, Boston, Detroit. Philadelphia.
Baltimore, Washington, Cleveland and
Milwaukee.
Cleveland, Baltimore and Washington
were clubless cities ct that time. the
National League having cut down
tweIve-club circuit to eight clubs. leav-
ing Baltimore, Washington. Cleveland
and Louisville without representation.
Every one of the cities had previously
been identified with major league ball
and naturally welcomed the invasion OF
the American League with open arms.
The proposed Federal League has no
virgin territory to invade. There Is
single opposition in six cities OF its
circuit and double opposition in two.
From an artistic viewpoint the poorest
of this opposition is sure to be of

In the matter of play out Of bunkers
and bad lies the successful result of the
shot is so much matter Of confidence
as to lead one to the belief that such
shots are not so difficult as they seem.
With ball in a fair lie in sand trap
of the shallow variety one can safely
try for distance with any club in the
bag. SO long as he is, confident OF getting
down to the ball and picking it up clean

low tee has the advantage, for his club
sweeps along close to the ground, and he
Is reasonably sure of picking up the ball
with a brassey from a lie where the high
tee advocate would have to use mashie
or niblick.
Before descending into the trap it is
well to take the club you intend to use
and take position as If addressing the
ball for stroke This gives YOU the ad-
vantage Of soling your club and being
sure OF getting 1t properly in your hands,
SO that you can make the stroke from
the sand without soling the club in the
hazard and mourning the penalty of loss
Of hole.
For a poor lie, for instance, in a heel

deep sand trap. or in sand trap close
up to a cop bunker, the treatment must

useful to get a grip on the club solid on
the turf before going into hazard. This
trifling bit Of confidence given you makes
the hard shot bit easier. Instead OF
looking at the ball. look at a spot an inch
or two back Of 1t. and dig into the sand
with sufficient power to get the power Of
the stroke under the ball. If you can
turn the wrist n bit up and to the left
when you get the ball on the club you
will be able to help it rise and sail out

Doom Expects to Retrieve Killifer
and Brennan From "Feds."

PHILADELPHIA, January 13.-Man-
ager Doom has a large-sized bunch that
Killifer and Brennan may be with the
PhiIlies next season, after all. It Is said
that instead Of signing regular contracts
the youthful battery merely gave its
pledge that it would play with the Chi
cago team of the Federal League il it
were unable to come to terms with the
Phillies. If such is the case both men
will be with the locals, for they will not
be permitted to get away. as Doom is in
position to offer as good or better
terms than the outlaws.

Business Manager ShetSline and his as
sistants were busy yesterday putting con-
tracts in the mails. mo, I ddn do any

from the Feds than he is getting here
Doom has Cancelled his vaudeville dates
in order that he may stay on the firing
line here and protect the interests of the
club.
One of Dooin's visitors yesterday was
D. Leroy Reeves, secretary to President

Knabe, kiilifer and Brennan. Secretary
Reeves sent long report to President
