down eighth position In the National
League race and the wise men of base
ball who picked the Giants to win the
pennant are not SO sure now that the
New Workers will get out OF the SEQ
that q lot OF 1915 predictions will go
wrong.
Braves are Conceited.
No one who has watched the Braves
play the Phtllies would wager any
money that StallinEs' team will win
the National League pennant this year.
The Braves are so conceited over their
rapid rise from the cellar to the rool
last year that they think they can
repeat. Maybe they can, but 1t will
take a different brand OF ball than
shown by the champions to date.
The Phils look to be n lot better
team than the Braves. Moran has a
bunch that Is hustling every minute.
No one expects them to win all the
time. because that would be asking
too much. but II the Pills play bail as
they have been playing they will take
q lot OF prying to get them loose.
Moran has no fears about his team
on the whole. his only worry being
over his pitchers, and he feels that II
he can get them going in any kind OF
order the Phils will always be in the
hunt. The return to form of Rixey.

says he is right. and II he Is he will

.NoU Believed Baseball War
Will Come TO an End Soon

PHILADELPHIA, April 29.-Sub-
sanitation for the rumors that the
baseball war would be at an end short
~ was obtained from one OF the big
men in baseball here today. He vir-
tually admitted that the man who
brought about the settlement vas
Judge K. M. Lands, before whom
the Federal leagues suit to dissolve
the national commission and organi
ed baseball as a trust was tried.
Since January "a the baseball world
has anxiously awaited Judge LaRdis'
decision, which, 1t was thought. would
surely be handed down before the
opening OF the season two weeks ago.
When the Federal league first
brought the suit 1t was hoped by fol-
lowers Of organized baseball that
Judge Lands would decide that he
had no Jurisdiction to try the case I'M
der the Sherman antitrust law. But,
Rs the weeks rolled by with no decis-
ion, it became apparent that Judge
Lands realized he had a serious
problem on his hands and evidently
4 believed that the case was within his
jurisdiction. Several times when talk
ing evidence Judge Lands asked the
attorneys of both sides il they were
sure they knew what the end of the
suit might lead to.
On January 90, in questioning At
torney Gates OF the Federal league,
Judge Lands said: DO you realize
that decision in this case may tear
down the very foundations of this
game, SO loved by thousands. and do
you realize that the decision might
also seriously affect both parties?"
Several similar remarks were made
during the trial by Judge Lands. who
is an ardent baseball fan. 1t is be-
lieved that Judge Lands realized that
1t would be better for both sides to
reach an agreement, and with his adj
vice, reorganize and reconstruct the
national agreement SO that a like sit
uatton would never again preset it
self.
It is understood that the Federal
league is to give up its clubs in Chi
cago and st. Louis, with Phil Ball
having large block of stock in the
st. Louis Cardinals, while Charles
Weeghman is to be the power in the
National league in Chicago with the
Taft interests in the background. The
latter club will be moved to the new
Federal league park on the Northstue.
despite statements from Charley w.
Murphy that the Cubs must play in
the Westside as long as they are in
debted to him.
Three major leagues will still be
maintained. Two other cities where

In a word. the Athletics manager

close at hand by comparison. One
would think that it is simple matter
to run around the bases when making
home run. But against a trained
and experienced team it is a hard
matter.
The batter drives ball to left cen
ter field. II he does not get away
from the plate quickly the catcher will
spring in close to him, perhaps drop
mask in front OF him, and try to
hamper the start.

but one major league club is located
at present will be included in the
third league circuit. Several cities
are available. but it Is likely that Gin
cinnati and Detroit will be the cities
to replace st. Louis and Chicago in
the Federal league. In this way every
major league city will be represented
by two clubs with the exception of
Washington, while conflicting dates
will also be avoided in Buffalo, New
ark and Kansas City.

Newark FederaIs Refuse To Buy First
Baseman From Buffalo.

NEW YORK, April 29.-Although
the Newark Feds need a good first
baseman it was learned today that
they had refused to buy the release
Of Hal Chase from the Buffalo Feds
for $4,000. It seems that Chase is
drawing a yearly salary of $4,000. the
same money he received from the
Yankees and White Sox. The Buffalo
Feds. week ago. wore ready to get
rid OF Chase's contract in return for
$4,000 certified check from Owner
Sinclair. but p. T. Powers and Will
liam J. Murphy who know a lot about
the value of ball players. decided to
turn the proposition down. In fact.
they are quoted as saying they will
not take Chase at any figure, believing
that he has seen his best days. So
the Buffalo tam will be compelled
to keep on paying Prince Hal until
his iTonclad contract expires.
