Time to Make Peace With New
League — Independents Prove
They're in the Game to Stay.

By Frank G. Menke, |
EW YORK, Feb 27 An analyss
of the baseball situation -'l
present convinces that organ
faed bassball made a ghastly error
when It elected, after the close of the
1914 weason, to continue the warfare
on the Feds
The Feds. by going through the
1914 SBEAROT, gn tisfled ractically
ovry one but those organized mag
nates that they were in the baseball
Dusiness to stay. They convinced the
skeptics that they had unlimited
bank rolls and that they would use
them to get ball players of the firs!
grade
The fact that many of the Federal
League club owners bullt concrete
stadiums and signe men to three
;nr contracts that were absolutely
inding upon them. should have acted
28 a "top-off” of the sticking-around
purposes of the Feds even b fore the
1814 season opened But the organ
iged magnates wer lind
0. B. Justified at Start.
Orxanized baseba was perfectly
Justified In fighting the Feds when
they frst showed thelr eeth ast
winter. The Feds threatened to bust
gp the monopoly that the American
and Nationel Leagues had in the
major league baseball world To
fight to protect its Interests was the
proper thing to do. And thats what
organized basehall did, It's the wim
man, though—and only the wise man
—~who knows when he's beaten—wha
knows when to quit
Organized baseball wasn't wise ':‘
dldn't know when to ult It had
it» chance t the close of the 1914
gtason to call thing iits and save
feelf from further lammings But
i refused the hanve —and thing» !

else thafhh a wallop on its pride l!i
would bave been something of an ad

slon only of a fact that the public

mer—but it also loves n game loser. |
Had organized baseball allled Hnr\f"
with the Federal League at the close
of the 1914 season how different |
thing would be now. How much
Detter for all the magnates and for
all the leagues—big and little. That
trust suit never wonld have been
filed. The International League and
American Association magnates
wouldn't be in a panic as to the 1915
outlook, and baseball, instead of be
fng In a Gisordered condition, would
be back to normal-and facing gern
eral prosperity
Few Concessions Necessary.
The organized folks wouwidn't have
pad to concede much to make peace
All the Feds wanted was major league
recognition. There is roomsfor a third
big league, The schedules In Brook
jyn could have been arranged so that
the Brookfeds and the Dodgers
wouldn't clash. The Feds might have
been willing to quit St. Louis and
move on to Detroit, Cincinnati or
Cleveland, where there i# only one
major league <lub at present
. There is room in Chlcago for threo
big league clubs. The city is divided
fnto sections and in each of the sec
flons where the rival clubs are lo
eated there is a big encugh popula
tlon to support the club located
there.
The Baltimore situation could have
heen adjusted, as it has been ad
sneted—the traneter of the Interna
tional League franchise to Richmond,
%a. The Buffalo International League
granchise could have been transferred
g 0 Syracuse, N. Y, or some other
Blg town in the East,
The Feds could have been permit
ted to keep the players they had
abbed from organized baseball
gxsl would have constituted their
spoils of war.,
Settling the baseball war at the
end of the 1914 season—after the
seds had convinced all but the most
* bilased that they were a permanent
proposition—wouldn’t have been such
a complicated job, would 1t?

President J. A, Gilmore said:
“We belleved our present contracts
to be the most equitable ever kKnown
in baseball, buttafter the club own

suggestions it will be possible to pre

Dußard. Carter and Forbes Named on First
Team—Graves and Weaver on Second.
By Leonard Graves.
ELECTING an all-star cast from the many good players per
forming on Southern athletic and college teams this season
is certainly not an easy task. Many have shown wonder
ful form and have played excellent ball. To do justice to all is
impossible in a selection of this kind
The call for the most experienced and best talent in Dixie bas
ketball should be selected from the Atlanta and Columbus quin
tets, as they rank in order as players of all around ability. Having
been a close and keen observer for
the past few seasons | am offering up
no excuses on l"‘l‘:on 1 pick. |
Forbes and %'wnrds
Tillou Forbes and ppo Peddy at
forwards could not be improved on
Both are seasoned and sensational
artists, having shown up brilllantly
throughout the year. At goal shoot
ing they have no superiors in the
South. BEach man s fast, covers a
jot of territory and are fine marks
men.
Forbes had the best season of his
career and by his masterly goal shoot
ing rua* up an even hundred fleld
goals. llou frequently scored more
points than opposing teams,
Peddy Shows Up Brilliantly.
Tippo Peddy showed up briillantly
He is undoubtedly the cleverest and
most valuable all-around man on the
Columbus team. This season he
showed great speed and accuracy at
ringing the iron rim for goals from
every angle.
Two other players who have played
sensational ball and have been a big
help to their respective teams are
Louls Lester, of Georgia, and Johnnie
Graves, of the Southern champions
They run only a shade behind the first
men chosen. Each knows the game
from A to Z and are good at defen
sive play, too.
Lester continued his splendid and
upward march to top honors this yeas
by his splendid work at forward. He
was undoubtedly the biggest asset the
Georgla team claimed.. His many goal
points scorad during the season were
responsible for several gictories.
Johnnie Graves playing, his second
season with the Joe Bean tribe, added
mtls to Atlanta’'s chances of win
ning Southern championship laurels.
Being called on in the middle of the
season when injuries befell Atlanta,
he immediately caught the vim and
stride set by his teammates and play
ed by far the best and most remark
able all-around game of his career.
Walter Dußard at Center.
When it comes to marvelous all
around ability Walter Dußard looms
up by far the most valuable man on
the squad. Not only is Walter an of
!fensive and defensive man of high
caliber, but he has no superior at get
ting the tip-offs and using his head
for signals to be used in every play.
I Before Walter steps in the center
'clrcls he has eved the situation and
some of the fastest goal shooting seen
{in the South has been the resuit of
Ih|l timely and rightly placed tips.
| Dana Kilecrease, of Columbus, is Du
| Bard’s nearest rival. Kllcrease knows
the game exn-edlnglfr well, is won
derfully built, has height, weight and
fe fast. He is a good shade under
Dußard, however, in the writer's opin
ion.
Carter and Dozier Guards.
Standing in the front ranks of de
fensive players the names of Ed Car
ter and Troup Dozier head the list.
‘The)' have no equals. Both are vet
erans, knowing the game thoroughly,
'are tall and rangy and are rapid at
|solving plays that are aimed toward
ithen,
! " Coming next in line to the pioneer
| guards, I pick Lamar (“Ple”) Weaver
iand Chester. Newman. Both have
'played beautiful ball throughout.the
entire season and have been seen in
every. game. Both are strong and ag
gressive players. ;
“Pie" Weaver has come to . the front
more “speedily in‘the past threé sea
sons than any_other guard.and is due
much credit°for #his season’s efforts:
He is an ‘excellent®shot, both at"field
(goals and foul shots.
Chester Néwman is_a bralny and
close student of the gathe, He travels
at lightning speed and is a star all
around player. His work for the sea
son has been wonderful.

{mention are Struppa, of Columbus;
Morrison, Brown and Raweon, of
Georgla: Grace, of Mercer; Smith of
Atlania Reeder f Knoxvill F
Mahone of Chattanocoga;: Clements,
of Auburn; Davidsor { Vanderblit,
