CantillOn's Aid
Forgotten By Feds

Now that the Feds have practical
ly wrecked the International league,
II seems that they are about to
start new war. The signing OF
Pete Compton by the st. Louis team
Jas reported in kilograms from Kan
sas City. indicates that the Gilmore
circuit has dissolved the secret pact
which prevented Federal league
clubn from tamrering with American
association players during the past
two years.
When the ST Louis Feds signed
Infelder Polly McLarry, of the
Louisville A. A. team last season.
President Gilmore ordered the con-
tract Cancelled and absolutely refus-
ed To permit McLarry 20 appear in
Federal league uniform.
When Joe Cantillon, owner Of the
Minneapolis A. A. team sold the
Chicago Feds a ten-foot strip OF
ground running through Weegh-
mans Park, stipulation was made
that the reds were to refrain from
signing association players.
The fact that this agreement Is no
longer respected by the Feds, indi-
Gates that there has been an upheav-
al somewhere. The Feds action
may have come as a result OF the
row Fielder jones stirred up three
weeks ago when he wired In his res.
ignation from Kansas City.
