BALL
NAY MOVE INTO
FED TERRITORY
Chicago Outlaw Team in Danger
Of Having Another Club to
Fight Against.
By Bill Bailey.

~HICAGO, Jan. 12.-Take squint
at the buried ace in the hands
Of organized baseball
The Federal League is to have a
club on the North Side, with Joe
Tinker at the head. All right! Or
gsnzed baseball sits back and
watches developments. If the third
league Is frost, there is loud guf-
taw. Everybody says he knew 1t
and a few real stars wonder how in
the world they are going to break
into the organized game.
But if it is a go from the start,
then watch organized baseball. The
residents of the North Side wake up
some fine morning and discover that
they have two clubs in their vicinity
where they had but one. The Fed
eraI is still there. But organized
baseball has thrown another club
into the territory.
Get the idea? II the North Side
Cubs too much money, the Federals
will have competition right at their
door. And you can wager that the
opposition will be the kind that will
hurt, too. Said opposition will he
represented by a ball club that con-
tains some stars, and strong enough
70 give the third league club run
for its life.
,r may be loser. But organized
baseball will be called upon 70
pocket the loss. And when that is
prorated it won't amount to so much
at that.
The scheme is under consideration.
Even the league which will produce
the team has been discussed. It's
gone further than that, and the team
IN the league has been considered.
More than that, baseball men have ar
idea that Gunther Park could be Sc
cured as a site for the fight.
1t may be the Minneapolis club
which will be brought into this vi
entity to give battle to the Federals,
or 1t may be the st. Paul team. Both
are Of the American Association.
Here is the scheme. Surprising that
the Federal Is a go from the start and
it becomes evident that the third team
IS going to cut into the American and
National League clubs There's q
meeting of men in organized base
ball, one of these teams is selected to
make the fight, with the consent o.
the owner, of course.
LIE shows what he did in a financial
II way with his team the previous
year. Then he is instructed to go
along, throw his team into the North
Side. and if there is a deficit it will
come from the war, fund. He'll be
guaranteed against any possible loss
and will be assured of earning just
as much as if he remained in his own
territory.
On top of that, he will be given
= ball team that will put up the brand
Of baseball that the third league does.
The practical baseball man knows
that the fan does not. care great
deal what the color of the uniforms
are or to what league the club belongs
10 as long as the baseball is on dis
play
That's the ace in the hole. and the
men in organized baseball believe that
? second club on the North Side
would draw sufficiently to make the
Federals a bad investment.
In which event they would be well
tatished even If they were compelled
TO dig into their pockets and make
up loss for their own team.

VEN if the doubling ones do
hot accept Gunboat Smith

" VEN IT the doubling ones do
r.. hot accept Gunboat Smith
vas the real thing among the
white heavyweights of the day,
the Gunner can claim the honors
for little while at least. Luther
McCarty was the last man to hold
a clear deed to the title, and as
Pelky was the last man to bat
tie him. he had as good claim
to the title as anybody. Now
that Smith has disposed of Pelky,
his path is clear. About the only
man thought to stand in the Gun
boats way in the least is Jess
Willard, and only last August
Smith defeated him in a twenty
round battle out on the Pacific
coast.
THERE'S one admirable thing
l about Smith that should en-
dear him to the fight fans. He
has the punch and isn't afraid to
use it. He is aggressive and
fights all the time, although the
accounts of his battle with Pelky
would indicate that he used more
than his usual amount of caution.
He simply wanted to make sure
of it-that's all.
LANClNG over the field, there
~ isn't much in sight in this
country right now for Smith, and
we. wouldn't blame Jim Buckley,
his manager, much If he sought
foreign shores for game. There
is a nice purse awaiting Smith on
the other side with Georges Car
pentier as the opposition. mas
much as both Frank Klaus and
Billy Papke, beaten middleweights
of this side, have trimmed the
French star, he shouldn't be much
more than an ordinary handful for
the Gunboat.
TT is impossible to take Tommy
L Burns seriously in his report,
ed wish to be a comet back. The
roly-poly Tommy would require
weeks to get into shape, and we
doubt if he ever could be fitted
for a hard battle. It's hard to fig
ure out how a man of Toms
means-for he must be worth
close to a quarter OF a million
dollars-can wish to take up the
narrowing grind again. But there
surely is glamour about the spot
light of the ring that doesn't at
tach to any other game. This is
the only way We can figure out
the Burns desire to try and re-
gain his title.
THE white hope situation is
L pretty well cleaned up now

Jimmy Sheckard, like all the wise
ones, turned down a job with the Feds,
AYERS a Cincinnati writer. Wonder what
opinion he has of Joe Tinker, Brown
and the other major leaguers who signed
up with the outlaws.
Should Theodore Brzozowski make
good with the Athletics next season
imagine what a time the jumps will have
In pronouncing his name and the fans
in catching 1t.
Rumors have 1t that George Sisler, the
University of Michigan hurler, who has
been under contract to the Pirates for
the past two seasons, will report to
Manager Fred Clarke in 1915. That's
an awful long time to wait for unknown

NF course, the Federal League
is not going into the base
ball business to help the
down -trodden" ball player. The
men behind the new organization
are going into the baseball bust
ness because they think there are
fortunes to be made in it,
n selecting their circuit they do
not seem to have bothered
with the question OF whether
there is any demand for another
baseball league. They are going
into cities where they think they
can become established, trusting
the Lord will be with them. IF
they gain q foothold they will
doubtless change their circuit
from time to time until things
become settled. But at this writ

managers for the Federal League
teams. Ball players are SO con-
stituted that the greatest ambi-
