Feds Not Yet Sure
of New York Grounds;
City Holds Up Plans
Special to The Telegraph

New York, Dec. SIT developed
yesterday that the Federal League has
not actually purchased that $780,
600 plot of ground in this city for its
new ball club, but has secured an op-
tion on it, the same to be exercised
as soon as a permit is secured from
the City Council to close the streets
that run through the property.
Final action on the petition of the
Feds" to close the streets will come
up for hearing about December 23.
1t is expected that the action will be
favorable to the Federals. If so, the
Sl,25O,000 will be paid over imme-
diately and the business of building
the grandstands will be begun at
once.
In case the city refuses permission
to the Feds" to close up the streets
that run through the property the
option probably will not be exercised
and the "Feds' will be homeless as
far as a park in Gotham is concern
ed.
It is reported that "organized" base
ball is behind the project to prevent
the closing of the streets.
a member of organized" baseball,
to report, has already made
a trip up to Harlem with the pur-
pose Of getting owners near the

of Estimate. Who this member is

Philadelphia paper recently made
the following statement anent the ath-
letic relations between Harvard and
Yale: "A leading Penn authority, who
attended the Harvard Yale game and
talked to representatives of both COL
leges, etc. said: 1T does not seem
possible that Harvard and Yale will
avert some kind of break. Yale is
satisfied that as matters stand now
Old ELI is getting the worst of every
thing and is ready to assert independ-
ence'."
If this leading Penn authority
means to imply that athletic relations
will be severed between the two uni
versities just because Harvard has
been licking Yale consistently for d
number of years in football, that man
is woefully ignorant of the trend of
feeling at New Haven. There is as
much chance of what he suggests as
there is that President Wilson will
coach the Army eleven next season.
