The bum finger mentioned In the

had a lot to do with lack of control
and absence of the old anti-hit tonic
on the pill in the tight places.
Brown walked fixe men In seven
Innings, but that doesn’t measure the
extent of hit* wildness. He was In
the hole with nearly every batter;
when he didn't walk, he had a chance
to hit at the Billiken pitcher’s de

Thursday, and his throwing arm was
so damaged that he was forced to
leave the game. In the last Inning of
the second game he ran for Chap

termed a "green-stick” fracture, or
partial break.
Nixon was recalled at once. He
has been playing fine ball for the
Peaches, and in his final game yes

in four times at bat. He is a fast
man, with a good throwing arm. Last

Expansion of New
League Would Cost
At Least $5,000,000
DETROIT, MICH.. Aug. 23.—The
report that the Federal League would
expand for 1914 and take in several
Eastern cities has opened talk from
the major league managers.
"In order to establish a circuit that
can live, the Federal League pro
moters must have at least $5,000.000.”
declares Hugh Jennings, of the De
troit Tigers.
“There is no demand for this or
ganization. for the baseball public Is
plentifully supplied with amusement
by the two major leagues. The cos tic
stadiums in the various cities afford
such accommodations that the public
will not patronize cheaper plant*
The player® under contract to the
National and American Leagues are
receiving big salaries. In order to
entice some of them to Jump, the
Federal League would be compelled
to put up increased salaries in coki
cash and guarantee pay for more than
one or two years.
"The Federal League this year is
run on a cheap basis. The best
players receive $200 a month. That
is why the outlaw promoters haven't
been driven to the wall.
“When the American League broke
into organized bas» tall conditions
were much different than now The
National League had abandoned sev
eral good cities and the club owners
had become unpopular with the pub
lic and the players.
"There was room for a second
major league circuit, and Ban John
son took advantage of it. Johnson
and his backers had real money, anu
the rest was easy.’’
