Eddie Foster is i'll the city. The
Nationals crack third baseman. who has
been playing at Calexico. Cal. this win
ter, arrived here late yesterday after
noon. He looks to be in splendid health,
and while he weighs a few pounds more
than when the season closed. he appears
to be in perfect condition, and could have
himself ready for playing ball in a very
short time.
Foster intends to remain here until
Wednesday, when he VIII leave for Chi
cago.
When Foster walked into Gritfith's Of
fee this morning he remarked. Say,
Griff. almost forgot to talk to you about
a. little matter. What are all these re-
ports I have been reading in the Cali
fornia papers about you're going to trade
me to Comiskey. You better not say that
it is true. for / have my pistol with me-"
There is not the slightest chance of
that coming off. Eddie" was Grifiith's
reply. Il never thought of such a
thing, but the newspapers in Chicago
have been writing about such deal.

admits he Is in better form right now
than he has been in some years. and
he expects to duplicate his brilliant
work of last season in the coming cam

Foster says Alva Williams is going
to look over the Panama fair grounds
before coming east, and incidentally he
is to have a talk with Ehmke, the
young pitcher who is on the Nationals
list. and try and induce him to come
east with him.

said it was not the intention of the

this season There are too many cities
in the new league which are not OF

There have been various estimates as
to the losses the Feds suffered i'll 1914.
One of these. based on figures obtained
by organized base ball by having scouts
watch the attendance in all parks OF
the rival league, placed the loss OF the
Feds at 5000, 900 for the season. If this
deficit should be duplicated in the COM

cannot be far distant.

Former Gov. Tener of Pennsylvania is
now devoting his entire time to conduct

which he was elected president more than
a year ago. Until few days ago Pres-
dent Tener could not give his undivided
attention to base ball, but hereafter the
old league will have his constant atten-

now will run more or less smoothly.
President Gaffney of the Braves is not
sanguine as to the success of the coming
season from a financial standpoint. He
made the following remarks to a Boston
scribe the other day:
Some one is bound to lose a lot of
money this Season. and the players will
be the final sufferers. There is a mis-
aken idea of the amount of money to
Jbe made in the business

their last trip west last year they
were $4,000 behind, and We figured on
