Efforts to Transfer Champion to
Newark Starts Vigorous Kick;
Gilmore Is Busy
.ShccinL TO Thc rclccrntIl

Chicago. ILL.,. March 20. - Kansas
City will retain its franchise in the
Federal League for the 1915 season
and it's hackers are already planning
for the opening.
President James a. Gilmore, of the
Federal organization, the story said,
was attempting to persuade Indian
apolis, 1914 champions of the league,
to give up its franchise in favor of
Newark, y. J., to which city the Kan
sas City franchise was transferred and
which action caused the hackers of
the Kansas City club to file suit against
the league.
President Gilmore was expected in
Indianapolis to open negotiations for
the transfer.
That an effort would be made to
transfer the Federal League club of
this city to Newark. \. j., was ad-
mitted by members of the board of
directors of the indianapolis club.
Fay Murray, president. and
John A. George, secretary of
the club. both said there would be
strenuous opposition to taking the club
away from Indianapolis

TR|-STATE LEAGUE
WILL QUIT ONE YEAR
President Graham Says Interest Is
Lacking; Release All Players
Internationally

"Tri-State is not dead. Only an in
valid for one year" This is the way
one Harrisburg official put it to-day
in telling about yesterdays meeting in
Philadelphia. yesterday. Four repre-
sentatives were present.
Following a consultation on the Tri-
States condition. it was decided to
keep the organization intact, but to
cut out the game for one year. Pres
iGent George Graham, who returned
from the southern training camps
yesterday thought the plan a good
one.
He announced that the league had
failed to fill its circuit, and would not
rut teams on the diamond for the
coming season.
The meeting was called on February
20. at which time the league am
nounced that it would make final
effort TO get cities to fill the vacancies
left last year when two of the clubs
failed to finish the season, and were
carried by the league during the re
mainder of the playing season.
Help Was Lacking
1t was thought possible that when il
was understood that unless help was
advanced that the league would have
to quit, that some offers might be
forthcoming. An effort was made to
arouse interest in several other cities,
but the present financial difficulties all
over the country and the general fall
ing off in interest in minor league
baseball operated 10 thwart the hopes
OF league officials. It was not found
possible TO finance clubs in any other
cities, and several of the clubs sur
viving last year announced that they
could not go on.
No official action was taken yestcr-
day for the reason that a quorum was
not present. Max S. Erdman was
present to represent Allentown: John
H. Myers for the Reading Club. and
W. J. Morris for Trenton. Harrisburg's :
representatives was not able to be
present
II is the desire of the league to
maintain its organization even though
there is no playing this year. on the
chance that 1t may be possible to re-
sumo within year or two under bet
ter conditions.
A later meeting will be held in the
hope Of maintaining the organization,
hut the announcement is final that
there will be no playing in 1915.
President George NJ. Graham an
nounced that no attempt will be made
10 hold the players now under reserve.
and that they are free to sign where
they please.

may be named, and that is my final
statement in the case of Raker."
