An emery ball without emery has
been invented by Pitcher Johnny Lush
of the Portland club of the Pacific
Coast League, according to Manager
McCredie.
Lush brought the emery ball into the
Coast League, but President Baum rele-
gated it out Of the league. So Lush
got busy.
BY gripping the seams just right
Lush gets the same effect as one does
with use of emery. According to Nc
Credie, Lush's success has been won-
derful His fast ball jumps as much
as it did with the use of emery.

NEVER TALKED PEACE,
SAYS PRESIDENT TENER
Did Not Seek Conference With Fed
erals, Declares National
League Chief.

NEW YORK, November 19.-President
Tener of the National League stoutly
denies the assertion of Patrick T. Pow
ers Of the Newark Federal League Club
that the conference between represent
atives of organized and Independent
base ball in Philadelphia during the
recent world series was solicited by
the executive Of the parent major
league.
Il do not know" said President Tener
yesterday. whether Mr.. Powers was
correctly quoted. But I will state posi-
lively that I have never talked with
him either privately or publicly regard
ing readjustment Of base ball condi-
tions."
Mr.; Tener refused to supplement this
would he discuss the allegations that
the National League had sought other
conferences except in a general denial
that he and his colleagues had at any
time sought even the concession of

League Asks No Favors.
II have said before, and I repeat"
said President Tener, that the Ma
tional League has no occasion to ask
favors of any kind. The circuit is most
sound financially. In spite of depress-
ing business year, thanks, doubtless,
to very close and thrilling race, all
eight clubs were literally patronized
last season. Certainly the campaign of
the Federal League in 1915 had no ap-
preciable effect upon our business"
Mr.. Tener evidently was grieved at
the statements attributed to Mr.. Pow
ers. Yet he was in too great a hurry
to elucidate upon his own position
more fully, as he had to hurry away
for a train to Philadelphia. He will
spend the week end in the Quaker city
and in Harrisburg. Pa.
President James A. Gilmore of the
Federal League refused either to deny
or affirm the report that the contem-
plated outlaw park for Manhattan
would be located at 145th street and
Lenox avenue. He inferred that such
a site was no better a guess than half

Gilmore was unusually busy with a
number of his colleagues who dropped

statement that Harry F. Sinclair. own
er Of the Newarks, would not finance
the New York team. He intimated that
the hackers of the enterprise might be
named at the time the location Of the
new park is announced.
Capt. T. L. Huston declared that the
plans of the Federal League would in
no manner influence the policy Of the
New York American League club in
the selection of a site for its new
home.

Cities like Baltimore, Newark and
Brooklyn have not supported the Feds as
was hoped. Buffalo may be retained, but
there is little hope for it to shine. Chi
cago is not the Fed gold mine that was
expected. and even though New York
should have a winner the circuit would
nevertheless be rather weak. To make the
proposed New York team the strongest
in the circuit would bring about run
away race, which Is t..e most harmful
condition that can exist in league cam
paign.
Whatever chance there was for peace
between the warning elements has gone
it's mind about allowing the hackers of
the Feds buy into the major leagues, be-
cause such an action would merely mean
short-lived peace compact, for there
would be others to organize outlaw cir
cults if the present independents were
taken care Of by organized base ball.
The threat Of the Feds to place a club
on Manhattan Island may cause a change

pert and Huston, owners Of tho New

To do this would give tho Feds clear

therefore not at all unlikely that the
American League club will exercise one of
its options ON suitable sites on NIanhat
tan Island, and thus be in a position to
help give the Feds a real battle.
1t is not believed that the negotia-
tions for the site in Queens have SO
