Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 28.-—There will be much regret among the players at Atlanta Penitentiary when they learn that the Federal league is no more. A few weeks ago the convicts received two full sets of uniforms from the Chicago and Buffalo Federal league | clubs, and they were so pleased with | the gift that they all became Federal league rooters. The Christmas number of Good Words, the Atlanta paper published by the convicts, says: ‘“‘We were de- lighted to receive a few weeks ago through the courtesy and efforts of Thomas Gilmore, secretary of the Chi- cago Federal league club, ten com- plete outfits, including suits, caps, belts | and stockings; and a like set from the Buffalo Federal league club. We have been sorely in need of uniforms for several months, and on that ac- count these gifts will be doubly ap- | preciated. We wrote to several club owners in the three big leagues asking for uniforms, but the Federal league combine was the only one kind enough to send any.” The article goes on to say that as the players did not expect to “board” at Atlanta all their lives, they hoped to be able soon to get out and root for the Federal league. Now they won't have a chance to do so. BIG GAMES FOR TUFTS, Princeton Indiana and Syracuss on Massachusctts Eleven’s Schedule.
