HERMANN SEES
FEDS finish
Discovers Outlaws Have But
Twenty Major Leaguers
and Prophesies Disaster

Cincinnati, Feb. 81 President
August Hermann Of the Cincinnati
Reds and chairman of the national
commission. has given some thought
and attention to the list of major
league players alleged to have been
secured by the Federal league for its
various teams.
Comparing the Federal claims will,
the list of signed contracts sent u
by Presidents Tener m johnson, he
found that less than twenty real ma
jor league ball players are known to
have jumped to the Federals 80 far.
OVENS Mr; due neF To report to ,'s was 'hS,ssea
as a catcher, Catcher Ted Esterly of
the White Sox. Catcher Sweeney of
the Highlanders, Catcher Simon OF
Pittsburg, Pitchers Packard of the
Reds, Brennan of the Phillies, Bland
ing, Kahler and Falkenberg of Cleve-
land. Ford and Cole of the Highland
ers. Intielders Tinker. Knabe. Stow
all. Zeider and O%utielders Wickland
and Miller.
With such feeble showing of good
ball players" said HERMANN, II do
not see how the Federals can lay any
real claim to being ranked as major
leaguers. They do not average more
than two major league players to a
team. SO ar as we know and the ma
jority of the material must be taken
from the minors and the lots. This is
going to, make it hard for them to
secure a large patronage in OPPOSE
ton to all major and class IA clubs
and there will be only one finish for
them.
I'VE shall be absolutely firm" said
HERMANN. "in not taking back any
PLAYERS who play games with the Fed
erals. Such men have jumped COLI
tracts, and they will never be offered
other contracts by any clubs in Or
ganized baseball. Thew will have to
stick to the Federals, sink or swim.
Their baseball careers are over, So
far as organized baseball is III
cerned.''. \ 80:
