New York, Feb. 26. 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.

was then a star but Mack had men of
such high caliber that there was no
place for Walsh but on the bench, lie
played every position on the team at
one time or another while waiting
around for some veteran to crack and
make a place for him. 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.

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.
