Federal L Jim Gilmore, the scrappy President of the Federal League, has gone and said it. He almost made his listeners faint upon his arrival here from the West when he declared that the independents are tired of warfare and that the real reason for the bringing of the sult against organized baseball in the Federal courts was to determine once and for all the respective rights of the opposing factions. Gilmore is of the opinion that by praying for the Federal courts to decide all the baseball controversies at once, instead of letting the various State courts decide them one at a time, that both sides will save much time and expense. He declares that he is willing to abide by any decision that Judge Landis makes. Some of the interesting things Gilmore said to an Evening World reporter were: “We de not want to dissolve organized baseball. All we want is to he let alone and restrain the National and American Leagues from tampering with car players, “We understand that the constant litigation is hurting the nativnal game.
