Special to The Washington Herald.

Special to The Washington Herald.
Chicago, April l5.-That the Federal
League is in the field to stay is evidenced
by the desire of the officials of that cir
cult to lay plans for next season with
view of strengthening their organization
with more high-class playing material
From an authoritative source 1t has
been learned that agents of the new
league have offered Hans Lobert, the
Philadelphia star third baseman. the sum
of $1,000 for his signature to a contract
for the season of 1915.
Prior to reporting TO the Phillies at
their training camp. Lobert spent sew
eral days in Washington, where he re-
ceived this offer.
II is understood that Lobert refused
this magnificent offer, preferring to
stick to organized ball. Two of his team
mates last year, Knabe and Doolan. are
now with the Baltimore Feds, and II
LObert had been landed by Baltimore.
which city is supposed to have endeavor-
ed to land him. the Terrapins' infield
would have looked a great deal like last
seasons Philly outfit.
Lobert is a good. fast man, young and
in his prime. being but twenty-eight years
old. An instance of his speed came TO
light during the recent tour of the world
when he showed his heels to Jim Thorpe,
that celebrated athlete now with NC
Graw's Giants
This action on the part Of the Feds
shows that they were on the job prepar-
ing for next season, doing business with
players under contract who were held
by the reserve clause. before the render
ing of the now famous decision by Judge
Sessions, who held the reserve clause in
valid
The Federals evidently knew the
ground they were treading on and IL
would not be surprising to discover when
next season rolls around that some OF
the players who are this season basking
in the sunlight OF American and National
League parks. will be found pounding
out base hits in the camp Of the Federals
during the season OF 1915.
