A. 8 Vim OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: MARCH 22, 1914. Shortstop Barry Back on the Job MAY REORGANIZE BASE BALL Federals Likely to Be Embraced in Arms of Organized Sport. RESULT "WILL BENEFIT GAME Mnnr Major Leanm- Clnlis Alrendr FncInK n I.onlnir Season on Ac count of the Strr Knrmn lon ot the Feds. Mr FRANK C. 3IKXKK. NEW YOniC. March a.-In the not too dim and distant future-unless the pres ent dope Is wrong-Oreanlscd base ball will clutch the heckling Federal leaue to Us boora, find peace will relsn again tn the land. And, unless the signs point wrongly, the consolidation will result In the formation of two twelve club leagues, the American league absorbing four of the Federal leagues' clubs, And the Na tional league tacking on to Us circuit the other four Federal clubs. Looking at It from any angle you wish. H seems that the ending of war, no matter what the compromise will cost every ono Involved, will bo for the best interest of the magnates. And because the Federal league will Insist that Its iluba retain a major league status, and because the Organized base ball Persons now maintain thera la not room for three major leaguo organisations, the diffi culty will be overcome by forming two twelve club leagues. Financial Outlook. V disastrous financial season faces most of tho organised major league clubs this season, and It's possible mat uio an spelt, as far as income Is concerned, will continue for two or three seasons. All this Is the result of the activity of the Federals. The Feds, In their fleht for players, forced the Organized clubs to boost salaries to the highest notch In hlstory-to a point where It seemed al most runlous. But the Organized people, facing the alternative of having their clubs wrecked by the Invading Feds, or of making their pny rolls top heavy In the extreme, chose the latter and wisest course. The existence of the Feds this year In some of the clUes that had to go tho limit to hold their players will cause a splitting of patronage; and, of course, mill reduce tho income of the Organized club affected. Other Organized clubs whose cities wcto not Invaded by the Feds with a franchise will feel the etrect through the fact that the Feds grabbed off some of their stars. The Philadelphia Nationals are ono sample. The Feds snared Knable, Doolan. Beaton, nrennan nnd also lay claim to Kllllfcr. No Club can lose five of Its best players and not feel the effect The Feds also raided the Class AA teams of Organized base ball and did It po effectually that they almost have wrecked some of the clubs. This has caused the Class AA club to shriek for help from the Organized majors, and the Organized majors are bound, under the ruling of the National agreement, to do something to protect the minors. Federals No JoUe. It's almost time for the Organlza rod Ruls to cease their foolish shouts that tile Federals are a Joke." They nren't atsd no one knows it better than do tns OfftanUed people. "When any new base ball organization can rise up and in three months time wheedle away frofn briahlzed Base Ball sixty players of trW rjvUber one-sixth of tils sArCnEth ot the Organized majornlt's 6 lnutrhlnc matter. The Feds will open the season and they wilt finish the season and bo prepared to reopen In 13l&-and with a stronger lineup than they have at present That's Just about as aafe a bet as anyone tan maice, Tho Federal magnate have invested something like tJ.000,000 In players, stands, crounds and equipment, and it's a cinch when anyone, is so deeply involved in a, venture that there will he no backing out The Feds refused to sign up any play ers who were under contract this spring, although many of the contracted Or ganized players, dissattsfled, begged for a. Job in the Federal ranks. Many other Organized players, held only by the re serve clause, decided to stick to their old clubs because they were a bit skepti cal about the Feds and their bank rolls. Hut at the end ot the 4S14 season, when they have discovered that the Feds weathered the storm, those players will be falling over themselves In their efforts to sign up with the Feds provided, of course, that the Feds continue their polio)- of outbidding the Organized Base Ball people. Star Wreck Minors. The Federals have the power to prao tlcalty wreck the minor leagues at the vloe of the lilt season, and It's a cer tainty that If Organised base, ball doesn't make peace overtures they will proceed to do so. The minor leaguers make their jiroflts not through irate receipts, but through selling their stars to tho major leaguers. In this way some of the class AA teams have cleaned up from tSifiX) to 0,030 a year. nut at the end ot the 1914 season, it's certainty that the Feds will offer the star minor leaguers a mighty husky look, tc'g salary. The Feds don't have to pay for a player that they get from the minors. Tho Organized majors do. No minor league club will let a star player i;o to the majors for any price less than W,00i) to BO.OCO. Suppose the Feds come along and offer that player 17,000 a year for three years. That means the total they will have to pay will bo only 1,000, whereas, the total the Organized major would have to pay would 'be a bid In ex cess of 17,000 for three years In addition to the ?,opo or $10,000. And that means, also, that the minor league magnate will be out the market value of each star that Jumps from his club to the Feds. Tn face of these facts does anyone think that Organized base ball will be forced to do anything else wlthtn the next twelv months or so than to recognize the Feds as major leaguers and offer them the t han eft to become part and parcel Organised base ballT Twelve-Clob Lesgaet, of Many base ball sharps contend there Is no room for a third big- league. Perhaps there Isand perhaps there Isn't The JSH season ought to solve the problem If there is room foe the third big leagu the Federal league can continue to op crate as a separate circuit even after It it taken Into Organized base ball And if there Isn't room the solution of the rroblem seems to be in formlnr two b leagues ot twelve clubs.

Trio addition of Clovetand asthe homo tor.n of ono of the clubs in place of Toledo was responsible for some of them, rr tucularly fir the arrangement ot datci which gives the new Forest- City team fewer, home, games than any other team In the league. Because tho series pro vided for Cleveland conflicted In sixteen dates with games of tho American leasrt'o there those sixteen contests were trjin ferred to other towns nnd are so Indi cated on the schedule.

Pa believes that Chase can cover more ground around the first comer than the whole lnflcld ooutd last year. If ho can field like Pa says he can, many a left handed bnttor will hold indignation meetings- with himself this summer.

OMAHA PLAYERS ARE POT ON HONOR ROLL (Continued from Page One.) the moat valuable player on the floor, The officials were Inclined to award premier honors to Gardiner as the most promising basket bell player partldpat ing in the tournament since Its organlza tlon four years ago. Ills ability to follow tho ball at all stages , made him more valuable than any other man. in the opln ton ot the committee. Orosshaus ot Sut ton and I-eeso of Lincoln were close rivals to Gardiner. The latter was the mainstay of the Lincoln High school team, which won the tournament! while Qrosshaua played a wonderful game for the Sirtton five. He is equally good "at center and forward. Snyder of Elmwood was awarded his place on the roll of-honor for his great defensive game. He carried his- team into the third round oNthe tournament, but, unaided, could not defeat the strong Hastings quintet. Wilson of JIastlngs was drle of the most dangerous goal" shsoters at the tournament. There was not a Wan opposed him who could keep him from scoring. Cox of York was an other m.an picked because of his ability to score field goals. Masee of University Place, and'hlsrun ntng mate, Klchuurg, were victims of hard lUck. They managed to put' their team in the semi-finals, but could nofpult tho quintet a.ny further,. . . Oooil Roiii Thrower, D.

Willis of Sidney was the rensatlon of the tourna ment until the Lincoln game, and thero ,h was so closely watched that he had no opportunity to show "his remarkable ability at goal throwing. Even against I Lincoln he counted twice, end scored practically the only points made by his team.. . Herman of Beatrice ahowed ability, but was again tlnfortupate in being classed with a poorer team.. Morris of Lincoln was valuable from a scoring standpoint and virtually won- the- Omaha game br his work is scoring on free throws. In the final game he scored fourteen ot the team's points.

Berry of Omaha played a steady, con sistent game at center. Ralph Andrews of Crete, while awkward on the floor, was a great point maker for his team and is accorded his position for this reason.

' Charles Jaffe, by winning his adjourned game with O. Chajes tn tho final round of tho annual championship tournament at the Progressive Chess club last week, tied for first and second prizes with A. Kupchlk. Tho latter had previously fin ished with a score of 10 to 1, without los ing a game, and defeating both Jaffe and Chajes In tholr Individual encounters. Jaffe becomes the new champion ot the club, because neither he nor his opponent desired to play off the tie, and Kupchlk yielded to his rival his right to the title. Kupchlk, having already on the Man hattan Chess club title, said he was con tent to be champion of one club. The third prize was won by Chajes, with a score of to 2H. Following his successes in St. Peters burg, Jose B. Capablance, the Cuban champion, paid a visit to Moscow, where he gave an exhibition, of simultaneous chess playing against eighteen opponents. Including the strongest players ot the Moscow Chess club. Of this number, Capablanca lost five games, which was regarded by the Russians as a highly creditable performance, because ot the talent engaged; In another session, Capa blanca succeeded tn winning a game from Nenarakow, a participant In tho first in ternational tournament in St- Petersburg In 1909. Playing two game simultaneously against consulting- teams, Capablanca won one of-the games and drew the other. Through oversight we have hitherto omitted .to srlve credit to H. D. Lanyon of !
