Newark evening star and Newark advertiser., 1915-02-13

The sky is bright and clear TO-
day, and the atmosphere has a
positive Federal League aspect.
The few dark moments of yester-
day have passed away and the
outlook for the future is brilliant.
Soon-by Monday, perhaps-we
will know just where We stand.
We know now that Newark Is to
have the Feds, but for the life OF
us we do not know just where the
team is going to play. If you
ask our good friend, P. T. Powers,
ne will answer kind of saucily:
Il don't know anything about it."
This Is so, in a way, but you
haven't got to be a real good
guesser TO finally reach the con-
clusion that somewhere not far
from the maddening crowd at
Broad and Market streets the
Feds will entertain during the
good old summer time.
@
Yes, fans, we are going TO have
the Feds. No matter what you
hear, what you see, what you
read, a Newark Federal League
team is the surest thing In the
world. Mr.. Powers will take ex-
ceptions to this assurance, for he
is, a very conservative man, but
you can take my word that the
Feds are ours, only | am not at
liberty to tell you where they are
going to play, even if know.
o
The Bronx has been given the
"once over" but | doubt il il was
sven seriously considered. Man
haitian Isle, however, Is another
matter. While the Feds are not
likely 20 go to New York this
year, they will be over there next
year In all their glory. But they
viii not go up TO the Bronx-not
II they have the good sense l be.
Heve them TO have.
sss- o
Fans. we are safe. The Feds will
be here, and we will know just where
their home Ia going to be in a few
days. We may know now. but We
dasen't tell. New York will be our
big brother next year. for there IL
another club IN the Federal League
that II willing TO give up It's fran
cniss 'Tor the good OF the league"
II. wouldn't be fair 20 tell at this
, time. but you might be good
guesser. yust now the mosuls OF
the Federal League ars too busy
with ths Newark franchise TO bother
with the New York situation But I
assure you the Feds ara ours. All
the worries are over. and the ball
park will soon be on It's way.
o
- President Edward O. Barrow, OF
ths international League. has good
reason TO be hot under the collar,
and he is. rhs beauty OF II. too. he
Is not afraid 60 express his feelings
IN the matter. II Mr.. Barrow had
shown as much spunk in the past as
ne Is showing now the International
League would be more highly re-
spected by the majors; but Barrow's
way was always the easiest way and
ls never cared to offend or worry bis
friend. Ban Johnson. Barrow. in the
Old days, took everything the gators
did for granted and he always BE-
sAsyed, Of course, that they we're his
friends. still, when tho issue came
he discovered 70 his annazsmsnS, no
doubt. that the majors. As have al
ways maintained, wsrs whols hogs
With neither respect nor oonsidera-
tion for the minors. That such
aeondition exists today no one will
deny. and whether the minors are
going to stand It any longer is an
other thing. The majors. In really a
small matter, have shown their hand,
and II the minors sccept the show

selves 20 be poor lot OF ueaklings-

the majors for years, living up 20
