Promoters Get Little But Experi- ence for Their Pains. President Gilmore Says Federal League Is Out to Win, From Both Public and Organized Ball— Not Huge Success. “It is a shame,” declares President Gilmore of the Federal league, “that the lawyers and the players are get- ting all of the money now made In the national game. The promoters aave little but experience for their pains. Peace and readjustment is bound to come in time and the sooner the better for all concerned. “Mind you, the Federal league is in the field until it gains ite point. The men behind it are determined to win, from both the public and organized baseball, the boon of major league recognition.

The rank injustice to the promoters lies In the fact that President Gilmore of Federals. these men are utterly indifferent about their moral obligations to those who pay salaries “The principles of the Baseball Play ers’ fraternity are doubtless logical and soun But here again the unde sirable element the profession the men who are content to accept money for loafing-—has gone altogeth. ir too far.
