war whfch was amicAbly adjusted In
Cincinnati Wednesday developed yester-
day when agents for the detunct Federal
League withdrew the application to the
Board OF Estimate for the closing OF
parts Of West 14%th and West i%sd
streets west Of Lenox avenue. the site
which tho independents had announced
In their scheme for invasion OF Manhat
tan.
The withdrawal Of thts petition vas
but one Of many articles subscribed 70
BY the rival commissioners In the general
peace plan. However. II carries no slight
clusively that the owners Of tho Yankees
have no Intention Of establishing a new
home at that favorable spot. IL Col.
Rupert and Capt. Huston build-and
they still maintain they have every In
tention of 30 doing-their park will Be
located In Queens.
1t has been learned hat Rupert and
Huston might have acquired the property
AT Lenox avenue and 10th street al
even better terms than those offered them
several mon his 9 when they were
seriously coniiderine the location. Al
that time the realty owners asked ap-
proximately 100000. Gilmore and his
associates secured options later for a
price At approx. mately $500. 000. Wheu
peace was declared these options wert
offered TO Messrs. Rupert and Huston,
who declined in tho belief that even al
these pared figures the overhead e
penses would still be too heavy Ia
guarantee a fair interest on investment,
Never Much at stake.
An u%nconnrmed report had II tina,
Harry T.. sinclair and his associates who
put UP small sums to bind the options or
the real estate at first made "A point OF a
transfer 60 the Yankee owners. They
saw here a chance to save some few dol
lars from the wreck. They never had
staked a great deal on the venture
5000 at the outside. In the opinion OF
those on the inside the Federal Leagues
announce invasion OF Manhattan was
nothing more than a gigantic bluff.
While James y. Gaffney, president oi
| the Boston Braves. IL being coneratu'
lated heartily by his colleagues of the
, National League on the part he played
In preliminary peace skirinishes, certain
club owners Of the American League
already are grumbling, declaring that
organized baseball paid too dearly fo'
.he surrender of its badly beaten zoe
These argue tina the Federal Leagu,

when the independents showed 'hei'
