The apparently casual meeting between Mr. Gilmore and his backers and the of Organized Baseball at Philadelphia was not without its pur- pose. CLUB OWNERS ARE READY TO SELL OUT. The scheme sounds most plausible. The Feds know that they will not be recognized and also know that they will lose more money. Notwithstand- ing this, several of their moneyed men want to remain in baseball. At the same wipe there are several mag- nates in rganized Baseball who have lost money and would like to get piufies Cgiey These can it the Federal League back- ére step in and satisfy everybody.

Ward, the main financial support of the Federal ) may have a decided effect on its future, ‘The rumor was afloat all last summer to the effect that Mr. Ward's business associates did not think much of his baseball venture, and tried to dissuade him from going too far with it. Now that he is gone it is doubtful if his estate will take the same interest in the baseball hold- ings that Mr. Ward did, it the Federal League can be ab- sorbed by the American and National it will mean the saving of thousands ollars to all hands concerned. For instance, the greatest harm the Feds did to organized baseball was forcing the magnates to pay high salaries and give long-term contracts to players who had outlived their use- fulness. The Yanks alone will pay out $26,000 next year with absolutely nothing in return. It is to make good the contracts of players who will not even be on the team. The Giants are in the same fix, as is nearly every club in both leagues, If the Feds are absorbed there will be a swarm of ball players flocking back to the fold, and it will be pos- ible to engage them at reasonable aries. Many of them will have to go to the minors and the quality of baseball will be improved all over the country. “There is no reason why the men behind the Federal League should not buy Into the major Jeagues,” said an official of organized baseball, ‘In the past anybody who had the money and who liked the game was allowed to buy franchises, In fact, I don't see how such a thing could be prevented. Tt Is the best plan, as It will obvii all the trouble about recognition, ai position of players, and all that sort of thing. I'm for it.

To Pay a al | An’ PLAYED & GAME OF Baseaau an’ STAYED ‘To DINNER, AFTERWARD ARE WE PROFESSIONALS ? Harvard Team in Danger Of Trimming by Cornell In First Football Game in Ten Years Ithacans May Get Crimson Eleven Before It Reaches Top Form, By William Abbott. ORNELL on the gridiron Satur- day may do what Yale and Princeton have been unable to do for three years—defeat Harvard. Cornell developed with a rush this! season, while Coach Haughton had to make over a new Crimson fine, There's almost a general supposition that the speedy Ithaca team will catch Harvamt before it reaches top form. Cornell men are very confident of victory. The following note re- Selved in this city to-day from [Trainer Moakley gives the béet in- | Gication of Cornell's chances: “I think our football team will give Harvard a very good game Saturday. I haven't the assurance to predict & victory, but Harvard cannot afford to be far off form." Cornell individaully compares very {favorably with Harvard. The up- .Btate men are all big, strong and \fast. The only doubt is Cornell's lability to show sufficient team work ;to successfully cope with the Crim- son maohine. That's the only thing which worries the Ithacan rooters, whether their men will have the in- tuition and skill to play together as a single unit, a0 necessary in present- day football, The Red and White has shown tremendous offensive power in early games, The backfield—Barre\ Collins, Shiverick and Mueller—w; equally good at old or new footba: The Ithaca backs are certainly t Jequal of any in the country. Qua terback Barrett has few superiors as {an all-round player, | Mahan type, t and dangerous in Jan open field. ‘The Cornell captain hits the line hard and gets excep. tional distance to his punts. Barrett should be an All-American quarter j this year, The Red and White line is strong on the defense, The forwards drive ahead with so much force on the offense that great holes are tre- quently opened for the fleet backs to slip through. Harvard's line has been none too steady this season, especi- He 19 of the | 6% Cornell's forwards have the advan- tage. O'Hearne was sadly missed ut end, but Cornell developed a capable 1 Batire: of wingmen in Sheldon and |, Cornell in ten years never defeated | Harvard. For many seasons Ithaca had @ hit-or-miss coaching syst which always missed. G football material went to waste. The Red and White each went down ta ‘enn, its th bi “Phings hee big games. ngs went from bad to worse, until the ad- vent of Al Sharpe as head coach. | Then Cornell's football fortunes took ‘an upward trend. Sharpe quickly ‘reorganized the coaching system and began building for the future. He soon earned results. Very gradually |Ithaca’s teams began to make their! Power felt. In 1918, after ten con- seoutive defeats, Cornell walloped Penn 21 to 0, That victory was the turning point for Ithace, From that time Cornell teams have been a fac- jtor, and to Sharpe goes most of the credit. The chief secret of his coaching system is the large number of capa- ble substitutes, Sharpe believes there *#hould be four or five men for each position and he develops his ma- terial accordingly, ‘Right now the team could jose three or four regulars and not be materially weakened. While Sharpe superintends the ooach- ing most of the individual teaching jis done by Dan Reed, who instructs the linesmen, Sharpe takes active charge of the backfield men, This season Cornell has improved with every game. Early faults were | promptly rectified and the eleven has 'played the most consistent football of any of the leaders, Cornell de- feated ita opponents with such ease that the coaches are afraid the team hasn't been given a hard test. Williams, though a ttle under form this season, is a tough proposi- tion for any college, yet Cornell wal- loped the Massachusetts team 46 to Willlams only scored when Ithaca had a substitute line-up on the field. | That's the way Cornell has been ng. Neither Cornell nor Harvard have been “pointed” for Saturday's game, but Ithaca would give anything to win, while Harvard mill mobilize all her regulars to prevent it. Cortes Beats Kid Burns.

You would naturally think that Mo- ran would now be a cheerful sort of a person, considering the numerous ef- fers he is receiving for bouts and for | theatrical engagements, but he isn’t.
