! the Federal League, would not prom
ise the men who are dickering fof
the Newark Club a permanent fran
chise in this city. That is a most ma
| ncious lie. The Feds are coming to
Newark, and they are coming tc
stay. Mr. Gilmore had q conference
with the man who is doing all the
business for Newark In New York
on Saturday morning, and much
| progress was made in the matter
President Gilmore was tickled over
the prospects of coming to Newark,
and 1t is expected final arrangements
will be made in a few days for the
location of a team here.

The men behind the Newark cl Ii
prefer Newark TO New York for a
| Federal League Club, and another
thing r. B. Ward. Of the Brooklyn
Tiptops has a man who is anxious at
this very moment to jump right in
and put a team in New York. That,
however, would not in any way in
terfere with Newark. The Feds aren't
ready for New York this year, but
they will be on the job early next
year and they will be in New York
before some of the New Yorkers wake
I'D to the fact. incidentally, too, Ar
thur Irwin. whose name is being so
consistently mentioned In connection
with the Newark club, may have
something to say about a Federal
League team in Gotham, but he is
not interested in the Newark propo-
sition at all.
When the Feds come here the fans
may rest assured they will come here
TO stay. The men behind the gun ex-
pect to spend something in the neigh
borhood Of $500. 900 for a baseball
plant and other things, and that In
itself Is sufficient evidence that the
Feds will find a permanent home here
Then, too, Newark will prove big
bonanza for the Feds. The club here
will draw more people than any city
in the league, with the possible ex-
ception of Chicago. That In itself Is
enough.
The location Of site Is still mat
ter Of discussion, and the outbreak
OF the Clinton Hill Improvement As
ISOLATION has been considered. The
prospective owners have narrowed
their selection down to three sites.
One is in the waverly section, one
is In the Vailsburgh section ana am
not at liberty TO mention the other
location. AS to the bleatings OF the
Improvement association against
baseball In other parts of the city
ether than Wiedenmayer's Park, 1t is
very certain that the majority Of the
people Of tho city of Newark is not
going 70 be managed by few. New
ark is going to have baseball in the
future the same as she has had II In
the past, because the people WILL de-
nnand It. The trouble has always
been In the past that reforIners and
agitators have never been taken to
task when sensational steps have
been advocated. In tackling baseball.
however. those who have been used
to going up against other propositions
will f1nd the opposition OF far DIFF
ferent calibre, Newark citizens want
baseball and they are going 20 have

Gus Ealzer, sporting editor of the
Sunday Call, seems to have been
more fortunate than tho other New
ark scribes in getting news on the
Federal League, or perhaps Falzer
has only used better judgment than
the others. Whatever It is, Gus is
On the right track. The Feds are
coming to Newark, and 1t will moi
be long now before an official an
nouncement IS made. AS TO Arthur
Irwin being interested. that isn't So
for Mr.. Irwin has other fish to fry
The men who are dickering for the
Federal League franchise for New
ark do not wish to have their names
| mentioned az this time. but they are
! big men and true, and when tbs
time comes the fans will know they
mean business and will rally to theil
support.

trouble with the New York scribe
is that they fence themselve
