By Bozeman Bulger. iF the International League placing 4 team in Brooklyn. The fate of the Feds has made that organization wise, As was announced three days ago, the St, Louls Browns go to Phil Ball and associates and the Cubs go to Weeghman, with Gilmore as Presi- dent. With the-Ward interest pla- cated there in nothing to do now but arrange for the distribution of the players, The Federal League will not ask the | withdrawal of the suit before United States Judge Landis until the tenta- tive agreement has been put down in black and white and signed, which | will be done Tuesday. That auit is} their ace in the hole. But for thut Organized Baseball would be com- pelled to offer them nothing As @ matter of fact, Organized Baseball has begun to realize that there was really no reason for buy- ing out the Feds—or establishing peace, as they prefer to call it. The Feds had lost too much money and came in at the last minute to get what they could out of the wreck. Mr, Ward would not have stood much longer and Harry Sinclair was not over-enthuslastic, 's losses will be re- covered by the sale of his park in Newark to the Int fonal League. Burrow’s ciroult nee good park there, anyway and this will save the trouble of building one, What Sinclair has lost in operation he will have to pocket. There is a loud squawk from Balti- more over having the league run right out from under them and offer- ing nothing \n return, The Baltimore Feds will simply quit and allow the International League to re-enter tie town. Carrol Rasin, Ned Hanlon, Judge Goodman and other disap- a He Baltimoreans offered all inds of money for a big league franchise, ineisting that Baltimore is & big league town. They wanted to buy the St. Louls Cardinals and move the team to Baltimore, but the magnates laughed at them, “Baltimore never has and never will be @ big league town,” said Charles Comiskey in the meeting. ‘Waen you had the famous Orioles, the best team in the world, with aucn stars as McGraw, Jennin Keeler and Robinson, they $96,000 for the whole season, And that Was the year they won the pennant!’ Just the same, the Baltimore peo- ple insist that they are big leaguers and refuse to be consoled with a minor league club, They admit, how- ever, that there jan't anything they can do about it, Another squawk is coming from the minority stockholders in such towns as Buffalo and Kansas City, This Epr*eularts applies to Buffalo, where ¢ team was supported by public subscription to the stock books, [hess little fellowe will be left out in the cold. Mr, Gwinner of Pittsburgh will be Permitted to sell his players and get as nearly even as possible, All the conferrees and quite a num-~ ber of camp followers are on the wa: to Cincinnati, where negotiations will be resumed to-morrow after the Feda have withdrawn their sult against | Organized Baseball in the United States Court. After all, it develops that Judge Landis ts the real winner. He won't have to make any decision. From Chicago comes a statement that the Judge is immensely pleased at peace. He is a fan and wants to sea the game prosper. Ali talk of big league trades died | with the announcement of a satisfac- tory arrangement with the Feds. The ‘outlaw’ players will have to be con- \dered and the salaries of star play- ers are bound to drop, Harry Sinclair says that he will re- a aS | wtances, If Organized Baseball does not make good be will. But Sinclair isn't the kind of fellow who will let anybody pull the wool over his eyes. With @ cessation of the wourying war talk, a renewal of interest in the game itself, the Giants and Yanks announce a spring series of three games at the Polo Grounds before beginning the season. If the Yanks get Baker and McGraw gets Kauff, this ought to prove an interesting ex- St. Nicks May Win Ross Cup Here To-Night HE holding of the Art Rows Copyright, 1915, by the Press Publishing Co.

CLNCINNATI, Dec, 20,—There ia absolutely no truth in any state- ment to the effect that an agreement hae been signed looking toward peace between organized baseball and the Federal League. That is what the committees will meet here to-morrow for. Members of the committecs appointed by the two major leagues and the Federal League will meet to take up work on the peace negotiations where they left off Saturday, Quite a number of the details have been agreed upon, but there are 4 number which still require consideration. more than, one day to thrash out the differences, but in my belief peace is a certainty. I will go further: I will say that I believe peace Will be a settled fact before the end of the week.
