In other words, the younger can- didates can practise by themselves until the regulare arrive and nothing will be lost, Among the veteran managers like Clarke Griffith and McGraw there ts much dissatisfaction with the new arrangements, They believe that the Federal League will eventually kill itself by offering a weak baseball, and that the only way to help the death along is to turn out the beat clubs possible in the major leagues.

The sale of Collins and the fact that he is ready to dispose of sev- eral more of his stars is proof that Mack is ready to desert Philadelphia and try his hand in some other city.
