immunity to Jumpers
The agreement gives immunity to all
men who have jumped their contracts
from both the jor and minor leagues
Of organized baseball, as well as all
other Federal League players. All of
them have been reinstated or made
eligible to organized baseball.
That there will be a wild scramble
for some few of the best Federal
League players was clearly indicated
by a provision in the treaty that the
Federal League. as a league and
which. insofar as actual baseball play
ing is concerned, ceases to exist, will
assume all of the contracts of Federal
League players.
In this connection. rumors flew thick
and fast here tonight regarding the
future status of a number of Federal

Brooklyn Federal League team would
be seen next spring in a Giant uni
form
Semi officially it became known that
several former Federal players will be
seen on the New York American
League Club.
To Highest Bidder
The agreement does not go into the
distribution of any players and it was
announced that the bars have been
thrown down and that inasmuch as all
are eligible, those who are for sale will
probably go to the highest bidder. The
Federal Clubs in Chicago and ST. Louis
are excepted, inasmuch as Weeghman
and Ball will be permitted to keep what
players they desire of the Federal
League Clubs in those cities.
Ward Reimbursement
The announcement concerning the re-
endorsement of the Ward interests in
the Brooklyn Federal League Club was
