FEDS CAN LIVE
IN SOME CITIES
New York, Chicago and 9th
er Large Places Offer Am.
pie Room for Third Major
League to Operate.
By FRANK e..MENkE,
Sporting Editor l. NJ. s.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-Those who
spoofed us year ago when we re.
marked that the Federal league was
here to- stay spool no longer. And
those who took exceptions to our state
ment that there was room-and ample
room-for a third major league aren't
taking exceptions any longer. They
are beginning to agree with us.
Ten years ago there wasn't room
for three big leagues. Even five years
ago there wasn't. But there is today.
There is more room today for three big
leagues than there was for two big
leagues at the time that the Ameri-
can league horned its way into the big
league show.
~ Draw from Millions.
The population of Greater New York
was 3,437, 202 in 1900. The population
at that time was figured to be large
enough to support three league clubs
Yankees. Giants and Brooklyn Dodg-
ers. Splitting the population three
ways meant that each club had about
100000 persons to draw from. The
population, OF Greater New York now
is about ,OO0-enough to support
five major league clubs-and still have
over 100000 persons to draw from.
Chicago's population in 1902-03 was
100000. That means that each club
had $4,000 persons to draw from.
The population today is about 2,400,-
900, which. split three ways would
leave 100000 population for each club.
Baltimore's population now is around
60O,OOO-a population greater than
Washington, Cincinnati, Pittsburg or
Detroit. Baltimore certainly deserves
the major league rating that the Feds
gave to it. Buffalo Is another city
that the Feds gave a major league
status. They were justified in doing
it. Buffalo's population today is about
45O, OOO-a population far greater than
that of Cleveland, Detroit, Pittsburg,
Cincinnati or Washington back III
1902-03.
Entitled to Franchise.
Newark, N. j., is more justly entitled
to major league franchise today than
were Detroit, Cincinnati or Washing
ton back in 19O2-O3. Newarks popu-
lation. today is about 375. 900 while the
population of Detroit in 1903 was
about 100000. Washington around
,OOc and Cincinnati's $4,000.
The Feds in their first year out
made three mistakes as to granting
franchises. Indiana polls and kansa $
City are too small for major league
ball. The population of Indianapolis
now is around 100000 while that Of
Kansas City is about 260,0UO. The
Feds rectified the Kansas City error
recently by transferring the franchise.
Probably in 1916 they will transfer the
Indianapolis franchise to Cleveland or
Detroit.
The interest in baseball is keener
today than it was ten years ago and
the ratio of fans per 10000 population
is far greater today than it was ten
years ago. Those are facts that can
not be disputed.
Therefore, don't you agree with us
that there is room for a third big
league-and ample room?
