Backer of Federas May Get Back as Much as $4,000

FEW YORK, Feb. 23.-How was it,
N you ask, that Harry F. Sinclair
secured control Of about 80 OF
the brightest stars in the Federal
league and was permitted to sell them
TO the highest bidder and pocket the
proceeds
The answer Iss nipple Sinclair pur-
chased Lee Magee and Benny Kauff and
several other stars from the Brookfed
owners last summer for the purpose Of
putting them in the 1915 lineup Of the
team which the Feds planned to place
IN New York City and which Sinclair
was to back. When the Feds were elm
mated from the baseball world. Sinclair
no longer had any place to play those
Brookfeds and so he did the only nat
ural thing-he sold them.
Sinclair took the other players from
the Kansas City. Buffalo and other
clubs in payment for money wIhich he
mad loaned to those clubs during the
1915 season Sinclair has kept silent
as 10 how he actually came into owner
ship Of those players. merely because
he saw no reason to make It known that
some OF the clubs were I'm such shane
that ne had TO loan them money out OF
his private account.
Sinclair Loaned 100000.
When peace was made in the baseball
world ~ was found that Sinclair was
ABOUT 100000 in the hole" through his
advances OF cash to the other Federal
league clubs. Sinclair was willing to
wipe clean the slate and charge the
$500, 900 to a recreation" account buf
the Sinclair debtors insisted that Sin
clair take the pick of their PLAYERS.
pointing out that in selling them he I
would reimburse himself to a certain
extent for his loans
Sinclair accepted the players and
lhen opened negotiations for their sale.
exclusive of what he has received for
hauft' Magee and the other BROOKLYN
players, Sinclair has realized less than
