TO SELL NEWARK FEDS"
Pat Powers Likely Purchaser of the

NEW YORK, December s.--It was re-
ported in base ball circles yesterday
that arrangements were under way
whereby the franchise of the Newark
Federal League Club would be trans
ferred from Harry Sinclair to Pat
Powers and a syndicate of Newark
business men. Powers is already a part
owner of the Newark club and the buy
ing out of the Sinclair interests is
en- to be a part of the plan whereby
the western oil man is to assume the
ownership of the New York Federal
League club.
In dispatches from Chicago Sinclair
said that he was the hacker of the club
on Manhattan Island. The Federal
League, through James A. Gilmore.
says that it is not ready to announce
the ownership. but that at the present
time Sinclair is not the owner About
a month ago Gilmore said that he
would not approve Of one man owning
two clubs.
Sinclair is now in Chicago and will
not return to this city until tomorrow.
Pat Powers could not be reached last
night, so that there might be con-
firmation OF the rumor of probable
change in the Newark ownership.

poor fielder. but a very good batter.

major league club to advantage. An

St. Louis Feds. Johnson of the same
team might have a chance to play short
in fast company. Perhaps l could dig

carefully. but these are about the only

1t would not be at all surprising if
Christy Mathewson would join the Feds
next season and become manager of
the proposed New York team. Rumors
to this effect have been going the
rounds for some time. Several of the
Fed officials have made the announce
ment that Matty will be with them If
the scheme to put a club in New York
goes through. Some one asked Garry
Hermann about the rumor as to Matty.
and he gave out the following state
ment:
"I haven't any idea whether this is
true or not. However, if it is. do
not think that the New York club

The two St. Louis teams are going
to clash rather early, it having been
agreed that the first game of the
spring series between these rivals shall
be played on March IS, at st. Louis, of
course. By this time it will be all
matter of condition as to which team
will win, and as both Huggins and
Hickey are certain to put forth their
best efforts there is danger of both
teams putting themselves out of the
running for the real campaign by fore
ing the players too early In the spring.

Outlook Is Not Bad.

Although Cornell suffers heavily in
the loss of Barrett, Cool. Shelton. Col
lins, and Jameson, the outlook for next
year is not bad. In addition to the
men mentioned above. Sharpe can call
on Hoffman and Benedict. two capable
substitute halfbacks; Bard and Dixon,
substitute linenen; Brown, a substitute
center. and Ryerson and Zander, two
promising ends, and also on Bretz, who
played good game at quarter on the
freshmen eleven this fall. Bretz prob
ably will succeed Barrett.
Talk of next years schedule. is of
games with Harvard, Penn and Michi
gan. the last in Ithaca, and probably a
game with Colgate. Most of the small
er teams on the schedule this year will
be retained.

Wood allowed an average of 1.49 runs
per game, while johnson, who pitched
almost twice as many contests, is
charged with 1.55 earned runs per
game. Wood had to have no less than
a weeks rest between his games, while
johnson could respond whenever he
was called upon, frequently pitching
with but two days, rest. What is
more, Joe Wood gave evidence of being
all in by the time the season closed.
and he is likely to be of little help
to the Red Sox next year. Under no
circumstances will he be able to work
until real warm weather.
Harry Harper. though he worked in
but nineteen games for the Nationals.
Is fourth from the top in the averages.
Ayers and Gallia, too, are well up,
being among the first twelve.
1t is a question whether there was
another first baseman In the game last
season who had as good a fielding rec
ord as Joe Judge while playing hrst
base for Buffalo. Judge played in 140
games of ball. had 1,345 put-outs. fifty
four assists and eight errors. giving
him an average of 1914, an unheard-of
feat for a first baseman: 1t simply
shows that hitting is not all that Judge
can do, for he gave evidence of being
a very clever fielder in the few games
he played here, and his international
League record shows he is consistent
performer at the bag.
After Frank Baker stunned Bill Dom
ovan by naming the few dollars he
would accept to play with the New
York Yankees next season, Federal
League magnate announced that Baker
turned down an offer of $4,000. but the
home-run manufacturer. 1T was hoped,
would be in the fold Of the outlaws
along about 1917. This being the case,
the Feds probably have decided that
Tyrus Raymond Cobb would join them
about 1912.
