FEDERAL LEAGUE CHARGED
WITH PROLONGING SCHEDULE
Editor of Sporting News Says Dates Have
Been Ignored to Provide Strong Card
Against Organized Teams

ST. LOUIS. Mo-. September 2s.-John
G. Taylor Sphinx. proprietor of the
Sporting News. a paper which Is the
Official organ Of organized base ball.
said yesterday that he had discovered
that the Federal League clubs had
played their schedule in such fashion
that the championship race of the or
ganization has no validity. that some
of the teams have played more than
the twenty-five games that the sched-
ule provides shall be played between
every two teams-eleven games at home
and eleven abroad-and that some or
the clubs had played so many games
less than the schedule called for that
the Federal League race is utterly con-
fused. and, in no case, can produce .
valid and undisputed champion.
The policy of the Federal League has
been to play as many double-headers
as possible where it's games confiicted
with games played by National and
american League clubs. said MT.
Sphinx. I'm this manner many OF the
better teams, those In the race. have
overplayed their schedule. while others
have not played as many games as they
should have played.
In other words, when 1t was neces-
sary to stage a double-header to make
Federal League club owners just threw
in an extra game. This extra game
was not and could not be scheduled.
Checking up the Federal League
games we find that Chicago and Buff
falo have played twenty-four games
with one another. or two games more
than the schedule calls for. Kansas
City and Newark have also played
twenty-four games with one another,
while their schedule calls for but TWEEN
WI nd unnrt0
Pittsburgh and st. Louis have played
twenty three games with each other,
where the schedule provides for but
twenty-five games. Pittsburgh and
games, though the schedule calls for
but twenty-five games. Newark and
Brooklyn have played twenty-three
games.
Twin Bills Galore.
1t seems that some Of the Federal
League club owners have put on dou-
ble-headers without any authority
from the hedule. This might be all
right If the schedule was not over
played; that is. more games played
than the schedule calls for. The Fed
eral League schedule calls for 154
sames. That means that each club
should play twenty-five games with
every other club. Our checkers find
that. with the season still having ten
days to go. the Federals have played
nine more games than the interclub
schedule calls for.
"A case in point occurred in Chicago
on Sunday last. The game of the pre-
vious SNlrday completed the twenty
tive GAINS the schedule called for the
Chicago and Buffalo teams to play with
each other. notwithstanding this the
Chicago and Buffalo teams played two
games on Sunday, which made their
interclub schedule twenty -four instead

Another good match was that De-
tween Albert ]. Gore and Al Howard
the contest going three sets before
decision was reached. Howard opened
the match in splendid form and won 1t
in dashing style, to 4. Gore went
along in his usual steady manner and
az a result won the next two sets ana
the match, GO and 6-3.

when a pair of "kiddies." D. c. How
ard. IT., and Karrick, defeated the
strong team of Douglas Hillyer and
George Lewis. Overconfidence may
have had something to do with the vic
tory, as the older pair ran away with
the first set, s to 3, but that was about
all, the youngsters grabbing the next
two sets, Ct and S-6.
Considerable surprise was expressed
when another strong pair, Ballard
Moore and Upshur Moorhead, were
taken into camp by Gould Lincoln and
Al Howard, the victory being sort of
runaway affair, the score showing 6-1
and GO.
Assistant Secretary of War Breckin-
ridge and Capt Wilson paired up for a
match with Arthur HELEN and W. f.
HoltZmann, the latter making run
away affair of the contest, as they won
by the score of Go and 60. HELEN
and Holtxmann make a strong pair and
it will take some brilliant tennis to
eliminate them from this group.

The local enthusiasts quickly discerned
exciting sport ahead and at an early
hour. the gallery crowded the blum

majority stayed there throughout the
afternoon.
The feature match was that between
Ballard Moore and George Lewis. botn

the last session, slipped through a law
providing for the sterilization of
mental detectives" this law becom-
ing operative this month.
Fearing legal action to prevent the
operations upon the 81 men picked
for victims, selected from among pa
tents of the Chippewa Falls State
Home for Feeble-Minded, the. state
board of control refuses to give their
names or the day set for the expert
ment to the public.
In fact, there are few citizens of
the state who are aware such a law
is on the Wisconsin statutes. And of
those few there are probably not
more than dozen who have heard of
the tragic and appalling results of the
sterilization of John Rehfeldt
Rehfeldt is SO and is the father of
six children, three boys and three
girls. In April, 1910, he was COM
mitted to the state hospital for insane
at Oshkosh and year later was re-
moved to the Appleton asylum. Here,
despite excellent physical condition,
he was sterilized at the recommends
ton of George Downer, superintend-
ent Of the asylum, by DR.. ]. V. Cana
van, a former mayor of Appleton.
In August, 1913, he was released |
from the asylum as cured and return
ed to his wife and family steriIized.
Married life was impossible. Mrs.
RehfeIdt asked a divorce. 1t was
granted. And RehfeIdt, broken in
spirit and health by the loss of his
family and the sterilization, struggled
against the inevitable until last June,
when worry brought back insanity
and he was returned to the asylum.
In the meantime RehfeIdt had filed
suit for $4,000 against DR.. Cana
IN and Downer.

Now sterilization is having more
