Poor Attendance. Negijgtrk. July 9.—Lack of transpor- tation facilities is the reason for .the poor attendange at the Newark Fed- eral.deague games, according to Har-, ry F. Sihe¢lair,” the financial power in the club. There has been a pro. nounced lack of support of baseball in ‘Newark this season, and as a re- sult the local International league club ‘was transferred to Harrisburg. Now the intimation is made by Mr. Sinclair ‘and his associates that unless a loop is put in to the entrance to Harrigon park the franchise will he transferred to some other city. ’ A settlement was made yesterday | by P. T. Powers of the club that Mr. Sinclair had investigated conditions at Newark and found that local sup- porters of baseball were satisfied with thé club and showed disposition to criticise the management. He believes that the fans are with the club ana does ‘mot blame the people for not attending games, because of the tran- sportation situation.

It ‘is understood that.the Public Service will investigate conditions further before acting on the applica- tion for a leop. ~ The spur, ‘it wds pointed - out . at:the meeting, - woula land people at the gates of the park ience that the patrons have had to contend with in going to the games at Harrison parkthis season. It is asserted that the Federals have a war fund of $1,000,000, and that an invasion of New York, Boston and Philadelphia is threatened next year. It is, however, no secret that the conditions.at Newark are reflected in other Federal league cities. These facts are well known to the . Public Service corporation, and it is because of the lack of patronage that the transportation facilities have not been improved. Railroad companies are not usually slow in providing accom- modation where it is to their inter- ests, and the fact that the Public Relp the club cut of its transportation : difficulties is taken as an indication that the future of the club is not viewed with \great favor.. Very £ of the Federal league clubs are dra ing even a fair daily attendance, aund this fact will militate against the Newark club in its application for better trolley facilities. NEW JOB FOR DONLIN.
