Waterbury, Feb. B.—What will be- come of Reidville now? Or if a_club from some other city blows in before as in 1912, With the Fed- erals apparently determined to launch a minor league circuit in New Eng- land, probably in the cities which would have been included the merger of the Eastern association and the New England league, if it had gone through, all sorts of things are possible. And one can hardly imag- ine Harry Durant sitting calmly by and seeing the Reidville pasture lying idle all summer, even if he has to | come up and stage an outdoor prize | fight or an athletic meet. Although the Federals have thus far given little intimation of the cities they intend to include in the new cir- cuit in this section, it looks now as though the outlaws are figuring on | bucking Jim O’Rourkes league in at | least New Haven, Hartford and Springfield, while Bridgeport may possibly be included. This leaves New Tondon and Pittsfield free from dan- ger of invasion by the independents. Hartford and Springfield wiil prot ably be able to hold their own with the invaders, for Jim Clarkin has money enough to carry on a vigorous warfare and Bill Carey’'s personal popularity will carry him a long way in Springfield. In New Ifaven, the sit- uation is somewhat different. Cam- eron lost money with the rest last season, although games at Savin Rock, with plenty of transient patron- age to draw from, ought to attract. Jere Connel, the mayor of Winsted, is none too popular with the Elm City fans and they will undoubtedly wel- come the Feds. The question then natura arises as to how long Cameron will stick if | the outldws hurt him financially more | than he has been in the habit of being hurt. Cameron has never been known a quitter, but he is just wise enough not to keep pouring his money into something that has no prospects of being anything but a lossr. Cam- eron has never looked upon Water~ bury with disdain when speaking of it as as baseball town and bhas more than once expressed the belief that the city would be a paying proposi- tion if given the proper kind of ball, 1t might, therefore, be harely poss ble that Cameron, in spite of the fact that his home is in the Elm City would longing eyves toward W, terbury if the Feds should assume theatening attitude.
