KAUFF AND MAGEE
FOR SALE, SAYS
HARRY SINCLAIR
Purchased Two Star Fed
eral League Players From
the Wards-May Sell
to Phil Ball

st. Louis, December 23.-'I have the
disposition of the Kansas City, Buffalo
and Newark Federal league players, and
[ hold the contracts of Benny Kauff,
Lee Magee and George Anderson, all of
the Brooklyn Federals."
This statement was made tonight by
Harry F. Sinclair, oil magnate of Tulsa,
Okla, and retiring baseball promoter.
You can say" said Mr. Sinclair, that
the owner of the Cincinnati Nationals
yesterday offered me $4,000 for Pitcher
Moseley of Newark, and that the owner
of another National league club offered
me $4,000 for Magee. Moseley will go
to Cincinnati as soon as / get the $5000
Magee, however, is worth much more
money than $4,000, in my estimation, and
he will not go for that figure. These
two offers are in answer to the publis
report that the National league owners
have agreed not to take any Federal
league players"
Mr.. Sinclair declined to go into details
as to how he acquired Kauff, Magee and
Anderson. or how he happened to have
the Kansas City, Newark and Buffalo
players on his hands. He denied, how
ever, that he was the liquidating agent
of the Federal league.

CITY is PLANNING :
TO LIGHT V|ADUCT
WITH OWN CURRENT
Conference Held Yesterday
Morning and Another
Is Scheduled for
Today

1t was generally understood yesterday
afternoon, following a commission confer
ence on the extension of the lighting
powers of the North Birmingham NUM-
cipal power station, that city owned cur
rent will be used on the new yiaduct.
1t was estimated from City Electrician
Abernethy's report that a sum not much
in excess of $1,000 would provide the neces-
sary additions to the plant to provide
the current needed.
j. $. Pevear, president of the Birming-
ham Railway, Light and Power company,
was present at the conference and adj
dressed the commissioners. Mr.. Pevear
merely presented his views on the mat
ter at hand and in clear and succinct
manner attempted to impress the COM
mission with the fact that the Birmingham
Railway, Light and Power company was
in better position than the city to provide
economical lighting. However,, Mr..
Pevear did not press his point as his
main object was merely to get acquaint-
| ed with the commissioners, and his views
on the general lighting situation of the
| city.
| OF the $1,000 appropriated to get the
North Birmingham power plant in a
more efficient order, it was stated yes
terday, that about $47oO had already been
expended. From the city electrician
report it was made clear that the mu-
nicipally owned plant could be placed in
such order as to produce the necessary
current to light the viaduct and other
sections of the city as the commission
desires
! Although no definite action was taken
yesterday it was manifest that the COM
mission was in hearty accord with -plac-
ing. the North Birmingham plant in
such shape as to furnish the current
necessary to light certain sections of the
| city. There will be another conference
1 this morning in which the petition of l.
Groom Beatty, general manager of the
| Birmingham Realty company, for city
| ownpd current to light the Norwood
| boulevard, will come up for consdera-
| ton. The conference today will, in Ill
| probability, bring the lighting problems
| of the city to a head.

MAY CONVERT PARK
OF FEDERAL LEAGUE
INTO ATHLETIC FIELD
Plan Proposed to Turn the
Brooklyn Park Into Field
for High School
Athletics

New York, December Washing
ton park as a stadium for Brooklyn's
schoolboy athletes appears, to be the
best solution of the problem that con-
fronts the baseball magnates as to the
disposition of the home of the Federal
league baseball club in Brooklyn
According to the present peace plans,
Washington park is to be left on the
hands of organized baseball. This rep
resents load of between 100000 and
$3S5,000, which the magnates will have
to shoulder. The tentative peace
agreement reached was to reimburse
the Wards at the rate of ) per cent
per annum for 20 years. No plans fQy
the grounds have been made but it Is
practically certain that no major or
minor league club will play there.
Brooklyn has long felt the need of
an enclosed stadium for it's schoolboy
athletes The public school athletic
league field in Flatbush and the Pros
pect park parade grounds, the only
public, fields of any size in Brooklyn,
fall far short of meeting the present
demands of the local scholastic ath-
letes. The parade grounds have no
stands for spectators and they are gem
orally so overcrowded with the work
ing class that the school children are
shut out. The P. S. A. L. field is sit
uated in an out of-the-way place and
except for it's excellent track offers
few advantages. The baseball field
falls far short of being the regulation
size in right field, while the football
gridiron is too narrow. However, the
chief objections are the time it takes
to reach the field and its limited size
Washington park is centrally located
and is accessible from all parts of
Brooklyn. The field. as now CON
structed, offers excellent opportunities
for football, baseball, soccer and la
crosse, while a running track could be
laid out at a very small cost The
modern grandstand at the field can ac-
commodate close to 10000 spectators,
insuring comfort for all those present,
something which is denied at most
fields where schoolboy contests are de-
cir

WEAKLEY FOR ANTS

AS soon as the meeting opened yester-
day, Mr.. Morgan announced that Judge
Samuel d. Weakley would henceforth rep
resent the ants. Judge Weakley pro-
ceeded to deliver an address of some two
hours in duration, in which he several
times got into hectic debate with Com
missioner Truss. The salient point of
Judge Weakley's remarks was that the
pl otestants did not need a referendum,
and that the commissioners were break
ing the law in allowing the moving pic
lures to operate on Sunday
During Judge Weakleys speech Com
missioner Ward passed his amendment
around to Commissioners Truss and Bar
Der and waited developments. Finally
Commissioner Hornady got the floor.
There is only one way to settle this
question" said Mr. Hornady, and that
is by legal referendum
"There is another way" said Commits
sioner Barber, getting up, land that is
by amending the present ordinance to the
effect that it will not be unlawful to OPP
crate the picture shows on Sunday
There was silence broken only by DR..
A. j. Dickinson. who said:
well, add in there to operate without
profit as provided in Sunday musicales.
Doctor said Commissioner Ward,

profit clause in regards to all Sunday
entertainments

UNANIMOUS CONSENT

Then there came question of whether
it was legally proper to pass the amend
ment, but City Attorney Romano Boyd
said that with the unanimous consent of
the commissioners it could be considered
at once Mr. Weatherly then said
IT give my consent. Let's settle this at
once on it's merits"
Secretary Lloyd called the role and
unanimous consent was given, President
Ward then put the question.

Lloyd. Aye"

There was no immediate answer. and
Commissioner Truss got up on his feet
and said slowly and distinctly:

public, but you cared to play politics. and
therefore I am going to vote for this
amendment as it stands. am not going
