The organized contract, as regards

The Federal league contract binds

It will not be so rocky when the
change is made and I look for it to
make better time.
"I understand Milton Smith is look

While the organized baseball mag
nates were loudly proclaiming at 'the
Waldorf that the Federals were dead.
Gilmore, Chas. Weeghman. Attorney
Edward E. Gates and other Federal
officials were quietly negotiating for
the lease of Washington ,Park in
Brooklyn and getting the support of
the millionaire Ward family in the
r.ew venture. When the deal went
through there was considerable sur
prise and Charlie Ebbetts, president of
the Brooklyn Nationals, 'thought hard
over having turned down a proposition
to put an international league club in
his town.
- Organized baseball might have kept
the Federal league out of three or four
towns in its. circuit by the expenditure
of about $l6,000, it was learned today.
In these towns the organized ball offi
cials are said to have been tipped off
that the Federals were going to make
an invasion and. were advised to tie
up, through options, all available
grounds for ball parks. ,
In every instance they declared the
Federal league was a dead duck, would
never lease grounds and obtaining op
tions was therefore unnecessary. The
Federal officials then saw the attitude
organized baseball was taking and de
cided that by adopting a policy of
secrecy the National and American
leagues might continue to think them
dead and also continue to leave the
way open for free operation.
"We are through with the secret
stuff now," said President Gilmore,
before- leaving here today. "We put
over the Brooklyn deal without the
least bit of trouble because' we kept
quiet and sawed wood. We already
have five or six players for the Brook
lyn club and xpect to sign up a man
ager and have the other players for
allotment within a short time."
Think Fraternity Square.
The announcement from the na
tional commission which was after
ward denied by Dave Fultz, president
of the. baseball players fraternity, as
to the suspension and expulsion of
players going to the Federal, league,
created no small stir during the week.
Fultz appeared with the Federal
league officials yesterday when they
made the announcement of their
Brooklyn deal, and President Gilmore
today said -he was satisfied v the new
league would get an equally square
deal from the fraternity.
.The announcement from the com
mission made it appear that the play
ers fraternity was lining solidly up
with organized baseball and against
the Federals. Fultz denied this, how
ever, and his explanation - cleared the
air considerably.
