PEACE PACT is SIGNED
FEDERAL BASEBALL LEAGUE is
NOW THING OF PAST.
Weeghman Gets the Chicago Cubs
Owners Rush to Sign Up "out-
law" Stars.

Cincinnati. Dec. "a. - Representa-
tives of the Federal, American and
National leagues signed an agreement
which eliminated the third circuit
from the baseball map of the country.
AS soon as the signatures had been
appended, it was announced on
Wednesday that Charles H. Weegh-
man, president of the Whales. had ac-
quired the Cubs and the West side
team will be moved to the North side.
Joe Tinker will be manager and the
best players on both teams will be re-
tanned.
Second in Importance to the trans
fer Of the Cubs was the purchase Of
the Browns by Phil Ball, deal which
was also made official.
Outside of these two every Federal
league owner is out of the game. and
as a playing organization the third
league is now only memory.
The players of the independent cir
cult will be controlled by the clubs
themselves, which will probably mean
that all outside of the Whales and the
Terriers will be pooled to be sold to
the highest bidders. Hardly had the
official announcement been made be-
fore a scramble started for the stars
of the defunct organization. President
Hampstead of the Giants started nego-
tiations for the services of Benny
Kauff. while Captain Huston of the
Yankees began angling for Lee Magee.
