buffalo franchise Of the d.funct Fed
cral League was forfeited before the
ncace terms were decided upon, and
VIC will claim that the International

II, that city without the peace pact.
We have always retained our ter
ritory in Buffalo. ard The men behind
the international League can SO" no
reason why they should merge with
tho Feds when the Feds have no club
In that city. We will also insist that
the Baltimore franchise and territory
belongs TO Jack Dunn. Now that the
Feds are dc:unct, some Of the stock
holders in ia Monumental city want
20 get into the international League.

Gilmore. in commenting upon the In

Will have to abide by the decision Of
the ma iOrity In the matter of merging
the Feds ana the lnternatiorals in Ruff
falo and Baltimore. I do not look for
any difficulty in Strengthening out this
matter when tho committee meets in
Cincinnati. This case Is only 4 minor
one when compared with what has al
ready been done by the committee. You
may say that ] am glad that peace
has been brought about in baseball
circles, because year or two more
OF the fighting would have put the
baseball game completely out of bust
