Thy International News SerVice.D
NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-Those who
like to read humorous things ought
to become consistent reders of the
articles written by persons who are
overly friendly to organized baseball
and who bitterly hate the Feds In
their efforts to ridicule the Feds and
their players, the aforementioned
scribblers often overreach themselves
and slip over Something extremely
laughable.
Just the other day writer of this
kind wrote, towit:
"A large majority OF the men in
organized baseball are in favor of
ignoring the Federal league for all
time"
He might have added also that
England, France and Belgium are in
favor Of ignoring the kaiser hence.
forth.
In another article this chap said
that the fans in Buffalo were souring
on Hal Chase because Chase, by
making brilliant plays, is showing up
some of the minor league team
mates"
Taking it from this statement, the
people of Buffalo do not go to the
parks to see any brilliant playing
No, stree They just want to see dub
playing. 1t makes them angry when
ever Chase, regarded as the greatest
first baseman in baseball, pulls some
play that is almost uncanny in its
speedy execution.
1t is all right in the eyes of this
writer-and others of his kind-foi
Ty Cobb, Eddie Collins and others tC
execute some wonderful plays. They
are in organized baseball But il
isn't all right for Chase, Tinker anC
the others. They belong to an "out
law" organization.
The peculiar part of the present at
titude of this writer is that for years
pions. He regarded him as the mos
wonderful first baseman that eve
played the sack, and time and agaii
he devoted heaps of space in telling
, of the wonderful brain of Chase tina
enabled him to think out plays in
fraction of a second.
I But Chase no longer is hero witt
him. He jumped to the Feds.
1t seems almost time that the sof
pedal was played by those who hav
been hammering the Federal leagu
: ever since it became an organization
, Knocking the Feds isn't hurting tn
Feds, And ridiculing them is onl,
bringing ridicule on the writer's.
! they don't think the Feds are playin

doesn't make the opinion unanimous

DAILY SPORTING LETTER


There are hundreds of thousands of
fans throughout the country who are
satisfied with the brand OF baseball
put up by the Feds, and they are
willing to pay their money to see it.
Those who have seen some Of the
Fed games this year and also some of
those played in the American and
National leagues do not think there is
such wide difference in the relative
quality of the games Surely the
Feds cannot put up any worse games
of baseball than have the Haps, Yam
KEGS, Dodgers and Pirates at certain
times this year And in every game
the Feds have tried TO do the very
best they could, whereas, in some of
the Cleveland games it looks as if
the Maps tried to find out how poor
a game of baseball they could put up.
The Feds aren't cluttered up with
stars of the National and American
leagues. But they have enough tc
form a neucleus. They are develop
ing some of their own players ant
in another year, when the genera
prejudice against the Feds wears
away, the fans will find that in tn,
ranks of the outlaws" there arr
some youngsters who rank alongside
of the best in the old leagues.

feet distant. Then we have to dodge.
The most dangerous altitude is about
5000 feet, as the German aeroplane

safer than 5000. We have to be very
