Speaking of April Ist, What a “Joke” the Federal League is on Organized Baseball New York. —The federal League is a Joke —oh, such a funny, laughable Joke —on Organized Baseball. ‘A Joke," declares the Standard distionary,” is something said or done for the purpose of creating a laugh, often at the expense of some certain persons or thing.” Not that we are declaring that the Federal League was created simply for the purpose of providing the public with a huge giggle i t the expense of Organized Baseball; there were some serious money-making motives behind it. But Just the same the Federal League has occasioned the public a few hearty ha-ha's in the general direction of the Baseball Trust. The Joke. The funniest part of the Joke Is that for a long time the Organized People thought the Joke was on the Feds. And, my, how they did laugh! All day they guffawed and often they'd wake up during the night to let loose a crowd of giggles. . But their’s was a case very much like that of the whale that swallowed Jonah. The whale thought it would be a good Joke on Jonah to engulf him. And he did It. For a short period after Jonah first found lodgment In hts tummy, the whale laughed In glee. It was such a Joke. But after a time the Joke reacted. Jonah began kicking and scuffling around In the whale's inter ior, and the first thing the whale knew was that he had a terrible case of dyspepsia and ingestion. The long er Jonah remained, the worse became the ailment. An 4 so, as the only means of getting relief, the whale ridded himself of Jonah. The Organized People at first thought the existence of the Federal League was a Joke. They laughed. But after a while they didn't laugh quite so much—or so gleefully. Something seemed amiss. The joke wasn’t turn ing out as funny as some Jokes ought to. And the first thing Organized Baseball knew was that the constant heckling of the Feds had given it a rather sickish feeling amidships. Would Like to Laugh. The Federal League no longer is a Joke as far as the Organized People are concerned. They'd still like to laugh—but they can't. The Joke has gone too far. Who can laugh when it is' discovered that the Joke, instead of being on the other fellow, Is really on yourself? It makes a fellow feel rath er foolish, quite embarrassed and not one bit like laughing. Some months back—November sth, to be exact —we declared that if th>- Federals had a big enough bank roll back of them, and got the right kind of leader, they would make Organized Baseball si* up and take a largo amount of notice. At that time the idea was generally pooh-poohed. “Quite ridlrulougs and silly." declared many But it wasn't, as present day events show. Ahd so. encouraged, and despite the fact that this happens to be April Fool's Day. we venture another pre diction. And that is that before this time in 1915, the Federal I-eaguo will be part and parcel of rganlzed baseball. And they’ll join, not because they ask ed to get in, but because Organized Baseball sent them an urgent Invita tion. As previously explained, baseball warfare Isn't very healthy for the mag nate's pocketbook. Warfare aids no one but the player. It fattens his bank account quite considerably, but drains that of the magnate. And the drain Idea isn't exactly pleasing to the magnate. Right Now. Right now we believe there are at least eight of the sixteen Organized Baseball magnates who would vote to take the Federals without being coax ed too hard. But the other eight are holding out. They want to see what the Feds will do this season. They believe the Feds will fail. If the Feds don’t fail, and show up rather strong at the end of the season, the anti-peace crowd gnost likely will Join the others And the olive branch will be extended GOLDEN HARVEST 0 7/-.

If they clear expenses they will be doing remarka bly well—and that's even more than many hope to do. But by surviving the year, they will become an established big league and that will mean they’ll begin to do a profitable business In 1915. Their lineups this year aren't com posed of all-starts. But they look good enough for any new league. The Feds have some promising youngsters that ought to develop into stars before the year is out. When the contracts of some of the Organized Baseball Stars expire at the end of this season, the Feds will begin a little dickering with them, and if their bankrolls remain unlimited it’s a cinch they’ll grab off a pretty generous assortment. Of course, when the time comes for the absorption of the Federals by Or ganized Baseball—at the Federals own terms, mind you—it will be necessary to make some radical changes in the Federal circuit. Neither Chicago nor St. Louis can support three major league clubs. Kansas City doesn't size up as a major league city. In dianapolis may and may not support a major league club. Therefore, changes will be necessary in the circuit. Ball Sharps. Baseball sharps for many years have declared that a third league would rise up because there were too many unprotected cities —that Is large cities where only one major league club ex isted. When the Feds and Organized Baseball merge it’s quite likely that the CEilcago, Kt. lajuls anil Kansas City and Indianapolis franchises may be transferred to such cities as De troit, Cincinnati, and Washington. Some there are who say that there isn’t room for a third league. The present season will answer this ques tion. If there Isn’t room for three eight club leagues, it's quite possible there’ll be room for two twelve club leagues. And that's Just what may hapen be fore the 1916 season is under way. EXCELLENT SHOOT AUGUSTA GUN CLUB Was Held Yesterday After noon. Baron Dr. Von Coboly, of Budpest, Present at the Shoot.

Augusta’s Only Department Store J Richmond Academy vs. Local Sallie Team This Afternoon; Cadets Elated Over Outcome of Game With Clemson Manager Brouthers, of the Augusta Team, Marched Down to the Ball Park For a Practice Game With the Richmond Academy at Three O’Clock—Academy Expected to Give Good Practice. This afternoon at 3:30 o’clock Man ager "Babe" Brouthers of the Augus ta baseball team marched his plajers down to Warren Park for a practice game with the Richmond Academy team. The Academy boys have "plas tered together” a corking good team under the management of Otis Rae, and he has been training his men for the past three weeks In view of the coming ball season, that is, for the prep, clubs. Elated by their success in the game last Saturday with Clemson College the Academy organization Is expect ed to put up a pretty stiff fight and will be able to give the local Sallle team a bit of the surely needed prac tice. Coach Wlenges, of the Academy squad, has a nice lot of players under his wing, and Is rapidly rubbing off the rough edges. With one or two more series played the hunch will come up to some o fthe better class of college teams now dancing arounq this zone. In the .pitching department the Academy could not have a better man than Philpot, and if he keeps up at the rate he is now going—well Rome day he will be visited by a big league manager.
