bone of the Federal League and has told
them that he wants them to settle and
settle mighty quickly the dispute with the
Baltimore crowd. as organized base ball
wants no more squabbling in the courts.
1t is certain that a nice little proposition
will be offered the Monumental city Feds
to keep out Of the courts. but whether it
will be accepted or not is a horse of a
different color
Sinclair to Be There.
Harry Sinclair, who lost more money
in financing the Feds than all the
others put together. will be among
those present when the meeting comes
up. Harry was niclsed about 100000
worth, so they say. but if this is true
he is giving no visible signs thereof.
However, he financed about four clubs
in the league, and his purse always
lay open on the directors table, SO his
losses we're considerable
sort to reimburse Sinclair He took
over the Newark. Buffalo. Kansas City
and Brooklyn clubs, and, while the
franchises were worth nothing at all
to him. the plants may bring back
some of the money he tossed away.
and the sale Of players has helped to
decrease the profit and-loss" account
to some extent
1t will be definitely decided at the
coming meeting what is to become Of
Battling Jim Gilmore and George Sto-
vail. Had Sinclair been able to buv a
club in organized ball he would have
made Gilmore president and Stoyall
manager. but SO far this has not oc-
Cured.
Probably it never will be known inst
now much the base ball war cost those
interested on both sides 1t almost
broke the National League. and only
1oE the fact that Gilmore dug up MIL
honaire angels for the Feds that or
saniZation never would have been able
to make the grade last year.
Kansas city lost approximately $780,

Of which Sinclair dug. up for the club
Phil Ball admits that the Terriers de-
pleted his bank roll $1SS,OOO in two
years. and Weeghman and his asso-
GATES were out at least 100000, and
probably double that sum.
Weeghman Is Fortunate.
Weeghman and his associates were
the most fortunate of all the Fed mag
mates when peace came. Their park
investment became a good one. repre-
senting more than 100000. and thew
have thes Cub franchise, which thew
figure is worth a million, and the play-
ers of both the Cubs and Whales This
would make their 100000 or 5000. 900
loss look like a profit now.
Ed Gwinner. the Pittsburgh mag
nate, admits his losses are more than
100000, and the Buffalo club went
over that mark. though Sinclair also
went to it's rescue. Newark also lost
heavily, as did Baltimore. The Brook
Ign club was a frost at home, but
good card on the road.
Organized ball was a heavy loser,
but it had it's plants and players

consisted chiefly in increased salaries
and dropping attendance. caused by
the fans becoming Disguised at war
tactics OH both sides.
The national commission spent prob
ably $4,000 in war expenses. including
$4,000 attorneys fees. Increased SAL
aries, at rough guess. meant net
loss to organized ball clubs of at least
100000 in the two years of war.

ON SUPPORT OF MOOSE
Progressives to Boom Seabury
at Meeting Tomorrow.

The executive committee of the New
York County Progressive Committee
will hold meeting at the county head
quarters, 500 Fifth Avenue, tomorrow,
when steps will be taken for the circu-
lation of "Seabury for Governor" petit
tions.
The Simon-pure element at the SYRIA
cuse meeting Of the state committee
prevented any Endorsement of Hughes
by the state committee. Upon return
ing to New York the Hughes element
sent out a day letter to the county
chairmen and the state committeeman
asking them 20 wire their willingness
to support Hughes. Two days ago
favorable replies from forty-fve of tho
sixty-two county chsirmen had been re-
ceived. Most of the state committee
men also had wired their willingness
to support the Republican nominee.
The Hughes Moose leaders expect more
than 100 of the $50 committeeman with
them.
The Chicago meeting Of the Simon
pure Moose, scheduled for August s.,
has been called off and a preliminary
meeting composed Of a leader or so
from insurgent states will be held in
Indianapolis August 3, where matters
will be discussed. What will in all
probability happen, according to one
state chairman, is that each Pro-
gressive will be urged TO vote accord
ing to his intelligence and conscience.
