When the Fed eral league was just beginning to break into print and disturb the peace of mind of organized baseball, one of the chief stocks in the trade of argu ing against the possibility of the league being able to live was the statement of big baseball officials that there was not room for a third league. There was no place for another organization it was declared, and therefore the Fed erals could not exist. As a rosult of the recent meeting of the leagues in New ork, however, we know now that organized baseball itself has been considering for the past two or three years the establishment of a third major league circuit. Also that one of the "war plansj' considered In the early days, wbb the placing of a third league in the field to combat the Fed- , erals. All of which indicates any thing that one may wish to take it as indicating. Taken as Steady Diet. As might be supposed, there are many things to consider in establishing a third maior league circuit. Most of the baseball officials admit that real major loaguo town will support two ball teams. Baseball has reached the stage where it is taken as a steady diet by the fans and continuous ball is looked upon with favor in the larger cities. One of the sticking points has been the matter of players, however. Star ball players are scarce The sand lots, minor leagues and colleges aro combed every year for talent. Few ever get nny further than tho training camps and somo go scampering back to the tall grass soon after tho season opens. Others come up from the traininir camps and aro not turned back, but thoy are not heard of again for two or three years. As a matter of fact some of the clubs leading the two big leagues have men buried on the bench who are better ball players than perform daily for the tailenders, and there you are. Will Not Loosen Up. The major leagues knew they would have difficulty in putting a third big circuit under way. No one would be willing to give up, but if the Federals keep at it they may show how it can be done. "The only way a third major leage could bo started by orga nized ball," said a well-known man ager here recently, "would be to take some players from each of the clubs in the American and National leagues as a nucleus for the league.. But a fine ehlnce there would be of getting any of the club owners to loosen up. Why, I could have won a pennant one year if I could have bought, borrowed or stolen a catcheer when all of my regu lars were out of the game injured, Could I get onet Yes, just like I could persuade John D. Rockefeller to pay his $12,000,000 in Cleveland. The club owners hang on to what they have. and there would be a fine time getting players for a new league." Kept Walsh Burled. Connie Mack had Walsh, center fielder' during the last world's series buried for two or three years. has been experiencing considerable dif ficulty in keeping its first team orga nized and working tngeether. Carson and Tallman who were in the line-up against Multnomah at Port land, have not been out for some tirno past and the proposition of filling the places of these two men and at the same time increasing the strength of the team to a sufficient extent to wrest victory from the clubmen is a task that even Willamette's wizard, Dr. Sweetland, believes himself unable to perform. The squad as it is now working con sists of Homan, Pfaff, Rowland, Flegol, Shisler, Gates, Bagley and Luce. Out of this number only the first three are old men. The others have had hardly any high school experience and have developed almost entirely under the tutoring of Dr. Sweetland during the past season. The line-up for Sat urday night is still a matter of speculation. MUGGSY IS SERIOUSLY ILL. (united raise leased wire.1 London, Feb. 26.

These men who are doing time on the bench are inexperienced and need training, it is true, but whenever a greater demand for star players develops they will becin coming to the top. If the Fed eral league cuts in and is able to grab off some of the star minor league players the two big leagues may be forced to pull out somo of their bench warmers a little sooner. Because stars are scarce now is no reason for boliev ing they will continue to be. It is natural to suppose that the more base ball there is to be played tho more players there will be developed and the percentage of stars will increase in proportion. May Wreck Minor Leagues.

TAFT BEFUSES OFFEB OF CHICAGO MAN FOB CUBS 1 UNITED PRBSB LEASED WIBI. Cincinnati, Feb. 26. After a brief talk with Louis J. Behan, of Chicalo, wreck the minor leagues of the , an attorney representing a syndicate country if it cares to, in the opinion of Joe Tinker. He has pointed out that where the major leagues pay fabulous prices for a minor league star (the money going to the club owner) the Federals may secure such a player by simply bidding to the player direct and meeting the offer of organized baseball with an offer of salary to the player equal to. the amount the majors pay for him. Aftor organized ball makes the purchase they would still have the man's salary to pay, but the Federals would have taken care of that by turning tho big money to the layer in the form of Balary instead of handing it to the club owner. As the big money in minor league ball comes from the sale of players these interests are hammering loudly at tho big fel lows to find some way of stopping the Federals taking them into the fold, or doing something to avert disasteer. Of course this idea of wrecking the minors works both ways, for without tho minors no crops of major loaguo players would bo developed. The Federals would thus be crawling out on a limb and them sawing it off, which raises tho question of how far they would go with such war measures. which desires to purchase the stock in the Chicago National league club hold by Charles P.
