In this lamentable position from the

assemble a team which may creditably
represent the birmingham Club, from
which the challenge officially emanated.

the following suggestion, which it thinks
would practically obviate the POSSIBLE
ity of a recurrence of the fiasco:
Suggests Sharing Profits.
Mr.. Herbert and his colleagues Of
the American Polo Association are
sportsmen in the very highest and best
sense Of the word. Their motives stand
far above the faintest suspicion of be-
ing mercenary. BY common report their
association has been fortunate in gain
ing on the occasion of each series Of
tests very large profits, which 1t is be-
lieved totalled hundreds of thousands
Of dollars.
These sums accrued to the Ameri-
can association through the plucky en-
terprise and grit of English polo play
ers. Let a reciprocal arrangement be
entered into by which the losers shall
get a quarter Of the takings, and it may
safely be assumed that such an ar
rangement probably would enable an
international rubber to be played every
year"

the Federal League roster are more
populous on the whole, and with the
exception of New York, than those
of the National and American
Leagues were at the time of their in
ception.
AS for New York. if he Federal
League should become successful, it
ought to break into New York with
a roar.
There is no place on earth where
the people follow the leader" like a
bunch of sheep more unanimously
and more spontaneously than New
York There is a golden shower
awaiting the Federal League in New
York If it makes good elsewhere,
even, perhaps, if the Giants continue
permanently at the top and the Yam
KEGS improve sufficiently to give New
York first-class baseball every day
in the season.
Plenty of Big League" Cities.
But New York is unnecessary to
make the Federal League successful.
There IS enough baseball money in
the other cities to support big
league.
Notice that the Federals propose to
invade only three old big league cit
ies-Chicago. ST Louis and Pittsburg.
In Chicago Charles Webb Murray has
made a mess of the National League
for a long time. He has been look
ing for trouble. It's coming to him.
In ST. Louis-which used to be one
of the best baseball cities in the
United States and where the public's
money flower like water into the
clubs coffers-the magnates of both
major league teams have been killing
the goose that laid the golden egg
for so long that it ought to be Cinch
for somebody to walk into the city
with q good baseball attraction and
skim off the cream without a night s
worry.
Pittsburg Ripe for Feds.
Pittsburg has seemed ripe for two
teams for a long time. Every year
the magnates have thought seriously
of transferring the American Detroit
franchise to Pittsburg. 1t appears
that there is capital behind the Fed
eral League movement in Pittsburg.
Now consider the other five cities,
Baltimore and Buffalo used to have
big league clubs and supported them.
They were, and are, not particularly
less baseball mad than such cities as
Cleveland, Washington Detroit and
Cincinnati are. Kansas City and In
dianapolis are much larger than many
big league cities were when the old
major leagues were organized. To-
ronto is a live, thriving, active, up
to- date American municipality.
There is no question of the popu-
lation being sufficient to support big
league teams.

You lave nearly as large a popula-

other city supports a baseball team.
