Wants an American Club
or Cash, Gwinner Says

PITTSBURGH. December IL
Edward w. Gwinner. president of
the Pittsburgh Federal League
club. said last night before leav-
ing for Cincinnati that the Fed
eral League was not dead yet and
would not be after the meeting
today unless he and all the rest
of the outlaw maRnates were
fully satisfied. "It is all very well
for the National and American
Leagues to offer me something
they know I wouldn't have as q
gift" said Gwinner, Gas. for in
stance, a franchihe in the Inter-
national League. That wouldn't
work in Pittsburgh. Nothing will
satisfy me but an American
League franchise. right here In

entirely by those who want to get

That those players who have con-
tracts which do not expire until after
the close of 1915 will be taken care of
has been assured. but it goes without
saying that many of the players who
are not protected by ironclad agree
ments and have the ten-day release
clause in their contracts will be turned
adrift to do the best they can. The main
point, from the players angle, is that
no man under contract will lose any
thing by the coming peace.
The argument that organized base
ball was beaten in the conflict with the
Feds in the peace negotiations is not
borne out by the terms of the peace
agreement. Some insist that the Feds
made the National League quit, but it
is difficult to follow this line of reason
ing. The Federal League started out to
prove that there was room for three
major leagues; always has insisted it
was a major league. and, furthermore,
that organized base ball must ultimate
ly recognize this contention. The public
answered the first argument in the
negative. and the Feds, by agreeing to
the peace terms. have admitted defeat
in the other particulars. There is room
for only two major leagues, and the
Federal League is about to pass out of
base ball. 1t is difficult to see where
ceases to exist.
The contention that the Feds absorb
the National League is devoid of rea-
son. The Feds absorb nothing. Some
of their club owners have been allowed
to buy into organized base ball, but
they could have done the same thing a
year go. or before they ever figured
in the base ball war. That they are
willing to do SO now, at the expense of
seeing their pet proposition obliterat-
ed. is conceding that their rivals hold
the upper hand. Had the opposite been
true the Feds, instead Of the National
League, would be the survivor.
The deal for the transfer of the New
York Giants to Harry Sinclair is re-
ported to be progressing favorably
and unfavorably in turn. The deal is
not one of the peace conditions, SO it's
success or failure will have no effect
on the negotiations. Sinclair has an
nounced himself as a bidder for the
club, and it is known that he can get
the majority interest for certain
price. 1t appears, however, that he is
not overanXious to remain in base ball.
Close friends of the Oklahoma man
say that one year has been more than
sufficient for him. and he refuses to
deny or confirm this statement. 1t is
said he will be perfectly satisfied to re-
tire from the sport after seeing that
other men identified with the league
are provided for. The death of Robert
B. Ward, the desire of Mr.. Sinclair to
devote all his time to his old interests
and the chance of Charles Weeghman
to purchase the Cubs are the combined
causes which led to peace conferences
at this time.

CINCINNATI December 21.-There

But even when Oliver Cromwell was

often used as a synonym for common

found his memory was even better
than their account book, for they had
neglected putting down certain sums
