Organized Baseball and Fed
eral League Magnates End
the Disastrous War.
OUTLAW PLAYERS REINSTATED
Scramble for Fed Stars Has Already
conmenced-St- Louis Browns
and Cubs to Be Sold.

Cincinnati, Dec. 23-The most dis
astrous war that the baseball game
has ever experienced came to a close
here tonight when a treaty of peace
between the Federal League and both
parties to the national baseball agree
ment, better known as organized base
ball. was signed
Two major league clubs will change
hands as the result of the bringing
about of peace, and two new faces will
be seen among major league magnates
IN the future, Charles Weeghman, who
has been president of the Chicago Fed
eral League club, will purchase the
controlling interest in the Chicago Ma
tiona1 League team from Charles p.
Taft of Cincinnati Phil Ball and his
associates who were connected with
the St. Louis Federal League team,
gain control of the ST. Louis American
League club from Robert Hedges, Cal
McDiarmid, John E. Bruce and others
who have long been connected with
major league circles
Immunity for Players
The agreement gives immunity to
all men who have jumped their con-
tracts from both the major and minor
leagues of organized baseball as well
as all other Federal League players.
All of them have been reinstated or
made eligible to organized baseball
That there will be wild scramble
for some few of the best of the Fed
era1 League players was clearly indi-
Gated by a provision in the treaty that
the Federal League, as league, and
which, in so far as actual baseball
playing is concerned, ceases to exist,
will assume all the contracts Of Fed
eral League players.
Scramble for Stars.
The agreement does not go into the
distribution of any players and it was
announced that the bars have been
thrown down and that inasmuch as all
are eligible, those who are for sale
probably will go to the highest bidders.
The Federal League clubs in Chi
cago and ST. Louis are expected, mas
much as Weeghman and Ball will be
permitted to keep what players they
desire of the Federal League clubs in
these cities.
