tlWritten for the United PressO
NEW YORK. May 14.---Despite Or
ganized Baseball's frequent outbursts
against the Federal League. the out
laws seem to be holding their own.
And from recent events il looks as II
they can continue the pace. Doubtless
il is costing them a bunch OF money
but that's a different story
One of the strongest signs OF the
Federal Leagues ability to remain IN
the game is their apparent indifference
to Organized Baseball's advances for a
permanent peace. Since the season
started three offers to establish a
practical working peace agreement
have been turned down by the Feds.
At least this is what Robert b. Ward
says, and the Tip Top owner ought to
know
At any rate. IL is known that peace
conferences, of sort. have been held
between the two organizations IN the
past few weeks. Further il is no Sc
cret that nothing has come of these
meetings. which lends color to the
Feds statement that they don't care a
fig for Organized Baseball and are
perfectly satisfied to play the game
according to their own rules.
The older baseball organizations are
employing different tactics than they
praciiced last year. In the Bennie
<auff case Organized Baseball prac-
tically admitted its inability to hold a
Fed player who was padlOcked to
one of the outlaw teams Last season
its attitude was radically different.
But with the Feds refusing to tackle
players in the two other big leagues

Federais Hold Their Own,
Although at Financial Loss

who are bound by strong contracts.
the National and American Leagues
found such a course mighty unpopular
and abandoned the open warfare. The
Feds are acting as gentlemanly as out
laws can and for its own protection
Organized Baseball is doing the same
Whether the Feds are losing money
is a mystery which concerns Federal
team owners more than anyone else. II
they are playing at q loss. as o. b.
claims every other day, Organized
Baseball should have just that much
less TO worry about.
Federal League owners have adopt
ed baseball as a business proposition
and seem perfectly content 20 stand
whatever loss occurs i'm making it a
paying one. In their second year the
Feds have eight teams playing a reg
ular schedule and doubtless few
of them are making expenses That in
itself is worthy achievement and
the mon who brought this about will
probably realize profit on their in
vestmcnt i'm time And until that
time comes the men backing the out
I law teams can afford to lose consid-
cradle money, as they all are men OF
/ Independent wealth.
In the money losing game Organized
Baseball is entitled to a little credit
itself. What about the money it has
spent in fighting the outsiders? No
= one pretends TO know how much IL is
but Il is no meager amount And the
sad part about this lost o. B. cash is
that il is probably gone forever. for
gate receipts in Organized Baseball
parks are not growing larger. In
! fact, they may even be decreasing.

SUCCESS Of BALL
DUE TO MANAGER
lie Must Be the Real Head
of the Team
ALSO TAKE
ALL THE BLAME

Success or failure Of a baseball
club depends directly on its manager.
There have been one or two clubs that
won in spite Of managers; few rare
instances in which great clubs have
made great regulations for managers
who were just wise enough to accept
the situation and allow someone else
to lead his team. The day of that
sort of thing is past. Now a manager
must be the real head, the leader and
the sole power; must accept all blame
and use tact in dividing the honors.
Connie Mack is a type unknown in
baseball Slender, sinister-looking,
uncommunicative, honest. 'conscien-
tious and something of a philosopher,
he is the greatest of them all
McGraw, his greatest rival, is pug
nacious, vicious in repartee, a nagger
at opponents and umpires, bitter IN
rebuking his own men. He is square
with his men. He would rebuke
Mathewson as quickly as he would
Mclean.
Clark. of Pittsburgh, is a stern
leader, deadly In earnest and all busi-
ness. He is a fighter for what he
thinks is right, yet he seldom makes
a claim he does not believe justified.
He is just and fair in dealing with
his men.
Robinson. the Brooklyn leader, is
"jollier," He knows as much base
ball as anyone; is good natured, easy
going and looks on the bright side
100 much.
Stallings, of Boston. overawes play
ers. Every man who ever has played
for him is either a devoted admirer
or a bitter enemy.
Herzog, the Cincinnati Red leader
is one of those pepper pots. hrainy,
enthusiastic, inventive, a born leader.
He could not get along with McGraw
because there is not room for two
leaders on a team. He is after Nc
Graw's style in dealing with his men.
Huggins, of the St Louis Nationals,
has little magnetic personality and is
not cut out for executive work.
Bill Carrigan, with Boston Red Sox
, is not a manager at all in the true
sense. No man can be a manager and
retain the player attitude
Clark Griffith. the Washington club
leader, is the violent type of "raver'
on the bench, but dearly beloved by
his men off the field. "Grif" knows
baseball, and his men know he does
Branch Rickey, of the ST. Louis
Browns. is a wonderful baseball gen
eral. enthusiastic, a hard worker anC
a deep thinker.
Joe Birmingham is man of higf
class of education and one would ex
pect him to be a great success. His
men are devoted TO him. But he ha:
achieved a name as an easy boss, and
does not get the work out of his mer
that some other manager might get
Hughey Jennings is read-headeC

asTONY" MGLYNN 4 COMEBACK.

STONY" McGlynn, the famous Iron
man of the Tri-State League IN its
outlaw days, and who helped York to
win several championship pennants is
a real comeback" Since leaving York
about five years ago. McGlynn has
pitched in the American Association
and the Western League. This year he
has been signed by John McCloskey
FOR his El Paso team of the Rio Grande
Association. Jack Bliss, formerly or
the ST. Louis Cardinals and later in
the Coast League, will be McCloskey's
field manager. Friskey, old Kitty
knight will play first base for him.

FIFTY DOLLARS IS PRICE
OF WOMEN IN CHINA

PEKIN, May PA Reuters teIe-
gram from Kweiyang states that the
Canton traders continue to carry on
traffic in women and girls, who are
taken through the Tatsnghsien dis
trict to Canton"
Conditions of poverty are so intense
that it is a custom throughout the
country for parents to sell children,
either boys or girls, when they are un-
able to support them. AS a rule, the
parents of child can obtain a num-
Der of dollars, according to >ne ch.sd's
age; but in famine districts, where
poverty is increased, prices have run
to below fifty cents per child. In the
large cities, however, to which the
traders from the interior bring the
children for sale, the price may run up,
for strong and good-looking girl in
her teens, to over fifty dollars.
