TEW YORK, Feb. 2O.-Harry F.

l. is backing the Federal league
instead Of the two older leagues be-
cause Of the formers business de-
cency." he asserted in an interview
here. He explained why he has become
the partner Of Patrick Il. Powers in
buying the Kansas City team. This
new venture viii give the third league
baseball representative in either the
Bronx or Newark.
Mr.. Sinclair, despite his great for
tune. is still under 40 years Of age.
Despite his association with the Rookie
teller and Rothschild interests, he has
been for many years a patron Of var
ious types and baseball teams.
II was considering the purchase Of
a club in organized baseball when op-
portunity came for me to study all
the phases Of the present baseball
war" said Mr. Sinclair. From early
boyhood I have been fan, and as
such many Of the intricacies Of the
political side Of the sport were COW
cred up because Of my intense interest
iu the game itself. The turning point
came after a close study Of men and
methods

q YEW YORK, Feb. 2O.-Those who
M spoofed us a year ago when we
- remarked that the Federal
league was here to stay spool no
longer. And those who took excep-
lions to our statement that there was
room-and ample rOOm-fOr a third
major league aren't taking exceptions
any longer. They are beginning 10
agree with US.
Ten years ago there wasn't room
for three big leagues. Even five years
ago there wasn't But there is today.
There is more room today for three
big leagues than there was for two
big leagues at the time the American
league horned its way into the big
league show.
The population of greater New York
was 3,437, 202 in 1900. The population
at that time was figured to be large
enough to support three major league
clubs-Ha nkees, Giants, and Brooklyn
Dodgers. Splitting the population
three ways meant that each club had
about 100000 persons to draw from
The population of greater New York
now is about 500, 000-enOugh to sup
port five major league clubs and still
have over 100000 persons to draw
from.
Chicago's population in 19O2-O3 was
LOO, 600. That means that each club
haQ o5UfUUU persons 10 draw from Inc
population today is about ?, 400, 600,
which split three ways would leave
500, 900 population for each club.
Baltimore Deserves Club.
BaltimOre's population is now around
500 OO0-a population greater than
Washington, Cincinnati. Pittsburg or
Detroit Baltimore certainly deserves
the major league rating that the Feds
gave to it. Buffalo is another city
that the Feds gave a major league
status. They were justified in doing it.
Buffalo's population today is about
100000, a population far greater than
that of Cleveland, Detroit Pittsburg,
Cincinnati or Washington back in
19O2-O3.
Newark, n J. is more justly entitled
to a major league franchise today than
were DetrOit. Cincinnati or Washing-

Feds Made Three Mistakes.
The Feds in their first year out made
three mistakes as to granting fran
chises. Indianapolis and Kansas city
are too small Tor major league ball
The population OF Indianapolis now IS
around 100000 while that OF Kansas
City is about 100000. The Feds rec
titled the Kansas City error recently
by transferring the franchise. Prob
ably in 1916 they viii transfer the
Indianapolis franchise to Cleveland or
Detroit. Either of these cities. with
populations over the 100000 mark are
able to support continuous baseball.
st. Louis Third Error.
The other error was in placing a
team in St Louis. The Missouri city
is a great baseball town, but it is
doubtful if it can support three major
legue clubs, within the next five years
The population of the town is only
about zoo, 0OO-a bit too small to give
baseball support to three clubs.
The Feds may decide to continue IN
St. Louis and let it be the. survival OF
the fittest. Two good clubs can OPP
crate at a profit in St Louis and the
Feds may take permanent chance on
their club being one Of those two
Milwaukee Could support Club
If the Feds decided to shift the st.
Louis franchise they could take IN De-
troit. Cincinnati or Milwaukee. Gin
cfnnati with its 100000 population
would support continuous baseball
Milwaukee. which hasn't major league
representation, is good basebaH
town and probably would support a Dl5
IeaEue club. Its population is over the
100000 population bigger than
Washington or Cincinnati
The interest in baseball is keener
today than it was ten years ago and
the ratio of fans per 10000 population
is far greater today than it was ten
years ago Those are facts than can
not be disputed.
Therefore, don't you agree with us
that there is room for a third Dig
league-and ample room?

WANT BIG COLLEGES
TO PLAY ON COAST

San Francisco, Calf, Feb. 20.-Grad-
yates of the big eastern universities
who now live on the coast are now
heading a movement to attempt to
have Yale Harvard, Dartmouth, SYRIA
cuse, Pennsylvania, Cornell. Washing
ton and Jefferson, or Michigan play
football games at the Panama-Pacific
exposition this fall
4 series of such games in the big
stadium would be a boon to the sport
in California, because at present few
colleges in this state play anything ex-
cept the Rugby game. The eastern
colleges therefore would have to com
pete against each other OF against
eIevens from Oregon and Washington.
There is sure to be an intersectional
game. and that will involve the Car
Isle indians with one of the Pacific
coast universities. The annual game
between Stanford and California seems
to be assured to the exposition. The
prime movers in the effort to bring the
eastern colleges on for a big football
tournament are S. Franklin B. Morse
and George CadWalader, two former
Yale men.

Critics Given Ground For Complaint
. EFERRING to expressions !
BY E. E. MOLD.

n EFERRING to expressions regard
ing the coming prize fight, which
have been appearing in The Her
aid and more particularly to the article
by Jack CurIey in support of the same,
which appeared in the issue of satur-
day. February il, desire TO call at
tentiOn to two other articles in the
same issue. both by sporting writer's,
and both written with a view to inn
proving the game, yet both, to my
mind, furnishing good grounds for the
stand taken by the ministers.
First let me emphasize a distinction
between boxing, a clean, manly contest
calling for the greatest Of skill and en-
durnace and therefore thrilling to ev
cry physically normal man, and prize
fighting, which, as at present conduct
ed, while requiring, perhaps, the same
amount of skill and endurance on the
part of the principals, carries with it so
great an admiXture of professional
gambling as to be entirely dominated
by that element. I base my Judgment
upon newspaper reports, written by
sporting writer's and probably fairly
accurate with regard to the point in
question.
How COrbett Writes.
Mr. Corbett,. i'm his article in the same
issue Of The Herald. shows the status
of the Wiilard-JohnsOn event when he
says, until Johnson does arrive there
will be little interest, and no betting,
on the bout in this country"
How About JOhnsOng
Note, Mr.. Curley recognizes a dis
tinction also, though based on some
what different considerations. He says:
Regarding the present day boxer, you
must not compare him with the old
time prize fighter" And then he goes
on to show the improvement in the per-
sonnet of the principals in such con-
tests. Let us take his word for it that
in many instances the present day
Champions are morally better men than
their predecessors, yet we cannot re-
frain from asking what improvement
in character does Johnson show over
the man he defeated or his predeces-
cors. back to the immortal John L.?
And be it remembered this same John
son is one of the principals in the event
Mr.. Curley is defending.
