"Organized Bluff" r. B.
Wards Characterization
of Big League
Baseball.

After declaring that what he terms
"organized bluff" had failed TO check
steadily growing public sentiment IN
favor of the Federal League, Robert
b. Ward, president of the indie
pendent circuit and owner OF the
Brooklyn Federals, told yesterday, for
the first time, the story of the peace
negotiations which failed. Three dis
tinct propositions were made, inyolv-
ing the purchase of the Yankees by
him, Mr.. Ward says, and 70 each sug-
gestion he answered: Eyes; If you will
recognize the Federal League as a
third major circuit" When it was
established that Charles Weeghman,
Of Chicago, and Mr.. Ward could not
be lured away from the Independents,
the peace negotiations ended, but not
until some striking examples of or
ganized baseball system had been
shown.
Before the close of the playing last
season. said Mr.. Ward, flames A.
Gilmore was visited by Nike Cam
tillion. an American Association Club
owner and friend of Ban Johnson.
Cantillion outlined a scheme for con-
solidating the Federal League CLUBS IN
the West with American ASSOCIATION
teams and having the Federals ana
Iuternationals merge IN the East, CIV
ing the new circuit Class "A rating
as a minor league Mr.. Gilmore re-
iected this proposition without asking
for details" u.L
"Realizing the force Of Mr.. Weegh-
man as a club owner. there was a
new suggestion when Cantilllon called
again at Federal League headquarters.

About this time, too, one OF the lead

much baseball news got into the pa

becoming more and more apparent that
Organized baseball's methods will not

The report from Chicago that Will

left the Chicago Athletic Association
to join the Illinois Athletic Club is
denied by one of his fellow clubmen,
who writes: The rumor evidently was
circulated by some one who saw Heyn
appear at the last Illinois meet wearing
the tricolor emblem and who did not
know that he had simply borrowed the
suit, having mislaid his own. Heyn
