Newark evening star and Newark advertiser., 1915-02-01

classiflcation--but that is entirely a
matter of opinion, and Newark people
| have a perfect right to embark in the
| new project.
| They can hardly be blamed either
| for being desirous of breaking away
! from the Ebbets interests that failed
| to cater to the baseball public's opin-
| ion of how the Newark Club of the
International League ought to have
| been run. Newark fans took the
angle that the club that represented
/ this city, although owned by Brook
/ lyn parties, should have been con-
Quoted for the interests of Newark
| instead of Brooklyn.
| That the Newark Club was not run
| In a way to suit the fans there has
aroused a tempest of protest, as was
natural, and the result is that the
| Federal League may be received with
/ open arms and a cordial welcome.
| The Federal League promoters were
quick to be informed of the uprising
In Newark, and have decided to take
advantage Of the situation that was
so foolishly left wide open for them.
Newark has been successful off and
| on with its baseball ventures, and
new owners have been as plentiful as
ventures. Before the days of Deacon"
| Ellis with the Atlantic League club
| there, twenty years ago, the city has
never been left out of baseball, and
| In the older and earliest days of the
game the city was prominent in 1t.
| The city has a population big enough
| to support a high-class league club
handsomely. and with SUNDAY games
| guaranteed and under proper man
/ ~ ant wi lnRal
interest and retain 1t, there seems to
be no reason why success could not
be attained.
President Gilmore and the Wards,
of Brooklyn. will no doubt look over
the prospects of Newark very thor
oughly and doubtless they will have
the advice OF Arthur irwin, who, by
the sale of the Yankees. has become
free agent. And no one knows
Newark any better than the ex-
| Yankee scout.
The Newark fans are sure to ap-
preciate the efforts of Sam Crane to
give the city a fair deal.
