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

The Feds cannot be expected to
make any profit this year. 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.

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.
Great credit is due Manager Brou
thers for his selection of the future

If things keep up In the shape that

he does not have much to say on this
