To Invade New York.

When will you start a raid on the
y. =. forces?" Gilmore was asked
We are ready to grab all the stars in
sight" he replied.
The invasion of New York also was
discussed and everything is ready for
the big move to Gotham. The Newark
club will be shifted and Harrison will
be used Tor Sunday contests When
asked if a site had been selected in
the metropolis. Gilmore replied that
not one little detail remains to be at
tended to.
The Feds will not place a club in
Boston next year. This idea has been
dropped, the magnate3 agreeing that
by entering New York the circuit Will
have had sufficient prestige. A strong
team will be placed in Manhattan and
the moguls believe the club Will prove
Il drawing card from the start. The
finest grandstand in the country VIII
be erected and the entire plant viii be
up-to-date in every sense.
We are losing little money" Gil
more said, but we are still sailing.
Nothing can keep us from going
through, for conditions all over the
circuit arc satisfactory. Organized
base ball is losing more than we are,
but they are not dropping it with d
smile We have them on the run and
by next month the Federal League will
have the fans who are not in sympathy
with us on our side.
I'VE expect to lose money this sea-
son. Only one club in the league is
making any coin, and that happens to
be Kansas City. ! have been keeping
in touch with conditions there and We
are pleased with the showing made by
the Packers. All the clubs are i'll good
financial condition. We are ready to
fight and will fight hard

PLANNEW CAMP A|GN
Feds to Go After More Men in
Organized Ball.

Gilmore Talks 0ptimistically After
Meeting of Outlaw League
at Chicago.
WILL INVADE NEW YORK

CHICAGO. July 24-The most impor-
, tant attack the Federal League has made
on organized base bail is about to begin.
Some Of the best stars in the American
and National leagues, it is declared, are
ready to jump.
| While the magnates. VINO held a ses-
sion here last night, refused to state what
methods will Ice used, they said the Feds
meant business. and would be in a posi-
ton to startle the base ball world within
the next day or two.
Gilmore declares even The highest sal
aried men are ready to come over Twelve
great players, it is said, are ready to talk
business.
Ty Cobb Babe Ruth, the Baltimore boy
whom Jack Dunn sold to the Boston Red
Sox: Eddie Collins, Grover Alexander
/ Home Run Baker Vic Safer. Larry Card
nei'. Stuffy Mcinnis and Chick Gandil
will be offered young fortunes to jump, SO
the rumorS go
Have the Coin.
Although it will take a great deal OF
money to get the brilliant stars of organ
lied bail. the league has a sufficient
amount laid aside for this purpose A
nillion-dollar fund was placed in the
hands of Harry Sinclair, the Newark
magnate.
1t was declared at first that the money
would be used in court battles The
latest move shows the Feds will use
1t two ways. A part of the coin will be
spent in getting the players to jump
and the remainder when organized
| base ball fights to have them returned
or kept on the bench.
Whether organized base ball was tip
ped off to the meeting is a matter of
conjecture. There are number of O.
h. men here, including Ban Johnson
president OF the American League;
Charley Comiskey, owner of the White
soX, and Huston and Rupert, joint
owners of the Yankees.
Organized base ball is said to be will
ing to go along as III the last two
months. The Feds have not tempered
with their players and Q. b. has refused
to dicker with those in the independent
circuit. johnson admits business is
very poor in his circuit, the American
League president having told Secretary
Goldman and Manager knabe yesterda '
that SIX clubs were drawing only a few
fans.
The meeting adjourned at O'Clock
ana all the magnates wore broad grin
as they emerged from the La Sale Ho-
tel They seemed to be pleased over
prospects and the fact that each club
would be strengthened.

TIGERS WIN OPENER
Nationals Beaten in First
Game at Detroit, 2 to !.
COVELESKIE HURLS WELL
Detroit Pitcher in Several Tight
Places, But Gets Out of
Them All.
BY J. ED GRILLo.

DETROIT, July 24-The Tigers yes
terday drew first blood in the series
with the Nationals, winning the open
ing game by score of to l. The de-
feat was not a reflection on Bert Gallia,
who probably would have won his
game with shut-out had he had prop
err support. Both of the runs which the
Tigers got in the fifth inning were the
result of misplays. Mcbride started
the trouble in this inning when he
threw Burns grounder far over Can
dis head, and the big first baseman
went to second. Bush laid down a bunt,
which he beat out, and Nefr made
an unnecessary wild throw to first,
Burns scoring and Bush reaching third
on the play. Stanage dropped a single
to center and the Tigers had two runs
They didn't come near scoring there
after, but the two runs were sufficient
to give them the decision.
Coveleskie was in several tight
places, but he got out of all of them
!, The Nationals only run came in the
sixth, when. with two out, Moeller
walked and took third on the hit and
run play when Foster singled to right
The two pulled the double steal, Noel
Ter scoring, but Foster was left at sec
ond.

DIES AFTER A
LONG ILLNESS
ELECTRIC COMPANY's LINE
FOREMAN sUCCUMBs = HAD
TWICE BEEN OPERATED UPON
FOR KIDNEY TROUBLE.

Gordon Blanchard, we'll known and
liked in the city, died yesterday morn
ing at the Pensacola Sanitariun. He
had suffered from kidney trouble for
several months. necessitating two OPP
erations, the last of which was per-
formed three or four weeks ago.
Death came shortly after 6 o'clock
and was not unsupported, though a
severe shock to the relatives and
friends of the deceased.
Mr.. Blanchard had served as fore
man of the line department of the
Pensacola Electric Co., for a number
of years and was highly esteemed by
his employers as we'll as fellow work
men. Three or four months ago it
became necessary to operate upon him
and remove one kidney. He had prac-
tically recovered from this when his
misfortunes continued, for his mother
fell and broke her leg, his little
daughter died and then he suffered
another attack and had been in the
hospital only a few hours when his lit
tie son was run over by an automobile
and was taken to the same hospital.
The little fellow is yet suffering. The
father died without knowing of the
accident.
The deceased was an Odd Fellow
and a member of the Pensacola Elec-
trio Benevolent Association. He is
survived by wife, mother, three chill
dren and one sister.
Services will be conducted over the
remains this afternoon at A o'clock at
the home of Frank Bond, father-in-
law of the deceased, No. 705 West
Zarragossa street, Rev. E. R. Pendle-
ton officiating. The interment will be
in st. Michael's cemetery.
