COLONIAL UEAeuE FAILURE

The most colossal failure Of any
league ever launched in New Eng
land has been scored by the Colonial,
the first and only minor, league or
ganized by the Federals. The histor-
ic failure of the Union association is
mild compared with that Of the Colo
NAL.
Tho word has been given by Robert
3. Ward. who insisted on starting the
Colonial, that it shall last through La
Dor day, with a constantly shifting
schedule and with a playing roster
about as regularly shifting. Presi-
dent Copper insists that the league
will be in the field next year, but no
faith in his statement has been ex-
pressed by any Connecticut newspa-
per. The Colonial league now has no
newspaper. although the press of Con-
necticut still insist on giving It fair
play.
The six teams, two of them. home
less. are still playing out the sched-
ules or games. the salaries Of the play
ers cut to the bone and with many
OF the players having deserted the
league for independent ball. The
league officials are at internal war,

ing been at logserheads with Rasn

security with gains of three to seven

Rivals of East and West Survive the
Semi-Finals.

Seabright, N. J.. Aug. 1.-TWO for
mer stars of Davis cup matches, Maui
rice E. Mclaughlin of San Francisco
and Karl H. Behr of New York, sur
vived the semi-finals in the singles
here today on the turf courts of the
Seabright Lawn Tennis and Cricket
club. Mclaughlin found Nathaniel w.
Niles of Boston a strong opponent,
who forced him to a deuce set before
he won at S-6, 60. Behr had an easier
time with Theodore R. Pen of New
York whom he defeated 81, 6-3.
The rivals of the west and east will
meet tomorrow to decide the right to
challenge R Norris Williams, I'd, for
his holding Of the Achelis cup. Will
lams arrived here from Chicago today
and tunde up his strokes against Niles.
Mclaughlin, because of his unbeaten
record this year. and his known deter
minatiop to regain the national cham
pfonship in the tournament later this

complished their desire and the ball
players are the ones 70 suffer.
There are hundreds OF players re-
leased and sold by the big leagues in
organized baseball TO minor league
clubs where they pull down from 500
to $500 a month and work under
than those sent to the Colonial league.
Look at the chances they have after
leaving the National or American
leagues. There are scores Of organ
lied baseball leagues about the coun-
try that pay twice as much salary as
the Colonial league, and the big
league castoffs have chances TO land
In any Of these leagues. But a fell

We have examples right in the Col
onial league Of Federal players who
were drawing down money sent 20 New

Federal league pay. They work a
lease from the Federal league, which

have they to play minor league ball?
There are probably many former
minor league players in the Federal
league today who would give a good
deal TO be back in organized baseball.
They have realized their error In
jumping to the Feds at a time before
the Feds were strong enough to sup
ply them with work at a decent
figure.
The many releases handed out this
summer by the Federal league will
no doubt have an effect on the young &.
sters whom the Feds are trying to
Wean away from organized baseball.
1t will also cause the young players
just breaking into baseball 10 stop
and consider their future before tying
up to a Federal league contract and
following the footsteps Of some Of the
players who have enjoyed Federal
league salary for a few months and
then found themselves without a Job.

McKinnon. manager of the Hartford
club, who has been deposed. McKin-
non attached two days receipts Of the
Hartford club TO over a $50 claim.
The most valuable players of the
league jumped IL weeks ago when the
cut in salaries took effect. The Con-
necticut league, whose place the Colo
NAL league took. has regularly furn-
ished a fine annual harvest for the big
leagues. but no scout from any league
has been seen in the Colonial.
The league had a piece of luck in
the quarrel between club owners Of
the Eastern association, formerly the
Connecticut league, which results in
the withdrawal Of the New Haven,
Hartford and Springfield grounds and
turning over to the Colonial. Given
the boost Of these grounds and plants,
however, the league has dwindled TO
a merely nominal daily attendance.
The owners OF these three baseball
properties are ready to break
son, and II the Colonial decides TO
start again with teams in these three
leading Connecticut cities, IL will be
compelled to locate in new grounds.
The impression Is gaining ground
that the Colonial is being carried to
part OF the Federal league BLUM to Sc
cure the best teams possible from Or
ganIzed Baseball for peace.
With the baseball public Of New
England dIspugted at both the exist
ing leagues in its territory, the New
England and the Eastern association.
they turned hopefully to the Colonial,
but now feel more deeply than ever
before the lack Of satisfactory base
ball. They look for relief in a COM
bination Of the New England and
Eastern associations, but whether
they are combined or not another
year, the Colonial league has appar-
emily been cast from favor forever

YOUNGSTERS AT RISK
JUMPING TO FEDERALs
Blue Ticket Players of Outlaw League
Find Money Scarce.


Jumping to the Federal league for
risky proposition. Especially to the
young baseball player who has many
years of baseball left and who is
playing for advancement. Tawe. for
instance. the young player who signed
a season or so ago with the Federal
today is left to play in the Colonial
league for 800 a month, else jump
out and pick up whatever change
he can playing mi-professional ball.
While it is true ball players are re-
leased by organized baseball as well
players do not stop, to consider the
many more chances presented by o.
B. and the many leagues in which
they have a chance to work which
would bring them much larger money
than being sent to the FederaPs farm
at 800 a month as the salary limit
The player sent back by the Fed
eral league may find the doors OF o.
B. closed and this leaves the Colonial
league and semi-pro ball the only
place to strike. In other words they
are liable to find themselves much
Federal league contract with the ex-
pectation Of landing big money for
many years. The more stars the Fed
eral league sign the smaller the
chance OF the youngster to remain In
the big league, but to act as a dump
out on the lots playing with some
semi-pro team or in some sho pleagues
where the salary per game is small
and where the team plays once or
twice a week.
1t has been shown that the Colonial
league serves as q farm for the Feds,
not only to develop young players for
the big league. but to act as a dump
ing ground for the big 1eaguers whom
the Feds are tired OF carrying on the

The mudbaii IL thrown with an over,
