PEACE TALK Is ALL
BUNK, SAYS GILMORE
Federal League President Announces
League VIII Keep on
Fighting.

NEW YORK, Sept. flames a.
Gilmore. president Of the Federal
league, Friday classified as absolute
bunk" the story emanating from Phil
adelphia hat peace had been declared
in the baseball world and that the
Federal league would become q part
of organized baseball in 1916.
mo truce has been declared-and
none will be declared" said Gilmore.
The time for peace has passed. We
are perfectly able 10 go ahead as an
Independent organization. A year ago
even six months aagO-w might
have considered peace. But not now.
We've been fighting so long that we've
begun 10 ike this battling business
and we're going to keep it up.
The Philadelphia story seems to
be a story inspired by some one in
organized baseball in an attempt to
reassure the minor leagues. The mi
nOrs are hoping for peace and a story
like that from Philadelphia was de-
signed to Stiffen their backbones.
The story is bunk on the face Of
1t because it said that we had agreed
TO withdraw from Chicago and St.
Louis and that we would not put a
bali club in New York. Under no cir
cumstance would we quit st. Louis or
Chicago.

GIANTS BY EVEN BREAK JUST SHY
 OF IST DIVISION

Chicago, July 31-Gilt-edged curv-, ing. saved the Cubs from a rough jour ney into sixth place, yesterday. Beaten in the opener, 3 to 2,@by conbina-@ ton of timely hits, an error, and a wild pitch, Bresnahan's crippled forces rallied in the second game, and, with Bert Humphries hurling stead lily, earned an even break in the bar gain tilt which marked St the return of the West Siders to their stamping. ground by blanking the Giants to 0. Barring the first round, when a sim gle by Robertson and. Doyle's round trip shot against the right field fence wall produced two runs, Bridegroom Jim Lavender was a good pitcher.
 Ralph Stroud was a man of mystery to the Cub wallpapers save in the third and seventh rounds, when they hung up their two talIies.
 More hard luck beset Bresnahan's orga anization in the opener and caus- ed the removal of Vic Safer for another surgical operation. The first sacler, who was forced off watch by an injury to his leg during the re- cent eastern expedition, started pluck fly when the combat got under way at 1:3o o'clock, but immediately after accepting a pass in the second inning sprained one of the ailing tendons in the vicinity of the injury and Hmped to the clubhouse. Knisely took up the second sacking duties and McLarry moved over from that station to sub for Safer on first base:
 Even with this patched-up fighting front the West Siders gave the Giants a bristling argument all the way. The second was a romp for Rogers crew once Hum phries fell heir to a, two-rlln
 margin in the fourth, when they put Poll Perritt on the hummock.
 Despite the punk showing of the Cubs on their recent swing around the circuit a crowd of 5000 fans turned out ot give them a few lusty cheers, but the roofing was hardly audible after the opener, which prov ed to be the eighth straight trimming administered to the locals. However, by staging the proverbiaI even break Rogers minions retained their perch on the fifth rung, just a few points ahead of the men from Manhattan
