 field AIc Expected to Jump.

New Haven, Jan. 30.-A baseball conference in the interest of the Federal league was opened in this city today. James A. Gilmore, presi dent of the league, arrived from New York city, on an early afternoon train ana was met by Robert B. Ward, one
 Of the owners of the Brooklyn Federal league team. Together they went into conference with a number of men in terested in baseball in New England. Among these were T. W. Park of Providence, w. G. Mckay of Man chester. N. H., J. D. Baxter of Spring field, Mass, F. l.. Landgraf of Dan bury, Conn, and James F. CanaVan, of this city.
 MT. Gilmore said that after the con- ference he probably would have a statement to make. He added that this was simply a "get-together' meeting for the purpose of discussing the outlook for Federal league base ball in New England He did not think definite action would be taken at this time in selecting New England cities for league purposes. Hugh Nc kinnon. who has been a special agent, will make a report on his canvass. An attorney representing an amuse- ment resort on the east shore at which Sunday baseball has been played in past summers was admitted to the meeting. The Eastern associa- ton team played Sunday baseball at a resort on the western shore last summer.
 Rumors of Clubs Jumping.
 After the meeting had been under way for a time a report was current that William Carey of the Springfield team and James H. Clarkin of the Hartford team, had had a conference with Mr. Ward, and that the outlook was that New Haven. Springfield and Hartford would jump to the Federal league from the Eastern association These cities with Providence and Man chester would probably make up the circuit in New England. It was also stated that the circuit would not be definitely settled until March. The presence of an attorney for an East Shore resort, it was said, was due to the plan proposed that the new Federal league team management here control Lighthouse Point grounds to prevent another team being located here, and play all games at Savin Rock.
