President Tencr mado himself so un

the proposed Now York Federal League

Baseball Players' Fraternity, wore tho
J jentlemen who kicked up tho trouble

Sinclair In tho presence of Garry Ilcrr

organised ball forces when he doclarcd
that tho National League had sought
peace, that tho Feds would get tho terms
they wanted or they "would put on tho

Tencr Would Not
Bar the Jumpers
President Tener put himself on
record yesterday as favoring re
storing all jumping ptnyerg to their
old teams. Federal League owners
say there will bo no penco unless
the jumpers aro protected.
This would mean that Pitchers
Tom Seaton and Ad Dronnan, Short
stop Mike Doolan, Second Bnsemnn
P. Otto Knabe and Utility Player
Runt Walsh would be available for
tho Phils next season, while Connie
Mack would regain Pitchers Plnnk
and Bender.
The Phils could use Seaton, Doo
lan nnd Knabe, but have no place
for Brennan nnd Walsh. If Plank
nnd Bender go back to tho Ath
letics, Mack will promptly sell them.
too seriously until Dan Johnson nnd
tho Feds had time to talk things over.
I to Intimated that Johnson would have
his way regardless of what the National
League wanted.
In the mcantlmo President Qllmore Is
thoroughly satisfied with the outlook,
and still Insists that lip Is not certain
there will bo peace. Qllmoro Bays that
there will be no peace unless he is taken
caro of, and Sinclair agrees with him.
It has been rumored Hint Ollmore wns
to replace Tener as president of tho Na
tional League, whllo another rumor was
to tho effect that Sinclair would make
him president of the Giants. Neither of
tho rumors Is likely to prove correct.
From on Insldo sourco It has been
learned that there Is a chance of tho
Nntlonnl Commission being dissolved nt
today's session nnd reorganized ln a
short time.
In this event the commission will cither
bo composed of four men, ono ot whom
will bo Gllmoro, who will have an In
terest In nnother team, or that Gllmoro
will replace Herrmann as chairman of
the commission.
Ridiculed Gilmorc
A few weeks ngo organized ball was
Inclined to rldlculo Gllmoro and his base
ball ability, but as the penco details nro
working out, It is nppnrcnt that tho Fed
eral League chlof must be reckoned with
and ho may upset tho plan nt nny time
unless things go along to suit him. That
Gllmoro Is not working so hard as ho
could to bring about peaco Is now ad
mitted by those who hao followed de
velopments closely.
Gllmoro's attitude and Dave Fultz's
arrival on the scene, with a demand that
tho Jumping players be takon caro of,
have further complicated matters. Bar
ney Droyfuss arrived early this morning
from Pittsburgh, whero ho stopped en
routo from Chicago, and the National
League Immediately went Into session,
ns thero were several things which had
to be considered beforo tho noon meeting
of the Joint committees of tho National,
American, Federal, International and
American Association.
The American Leaguers arrived shortly
before 10 o'clock and their presnee nbout
tho hotel created qulto a stir. Ono of
them Intimated that they favored three
major leagues, tho third being composed
of a few cities in tho Federal League cir
cuit nnd tho larger cities of the Interna
tional Leaguo and American Association.

FEDS PREPARED
TO PUT TEAM
IN THIS CITY
In Case of Hitch in Peace
Plans This Is Their
Plan
SITE 57TII AND CHESTNUT
By a Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-The Federal
Leaguo Is prepared to Invade Philadel
phia. Should the peaco plant now under
wny fall, they will havo a club In the
Quaker City, probably at 5th nnd Chest
nut streets, West Philadelphia. Sinclair
hag stated that If peace Is not forthcom
ing the Feds wilt have a team In every
city on tho American nnd National league
circuits.
Tho slto selected In Philadelphia is near
several trolley lines anil Just two blocks
from the "L" station at S6th and Mnrkot
streets.
Store than a year ngo there were Federal
League agents In the Quaker City look
ing over prospective sites for a diamond.
At thnt time It wns thought the Feds
would do well to build on tho slto of tho
old Belmont Cricket Club, nt 49th street
and Chester avenue. West Philadelphia.
However, the city had Just purchased the
property and has since converted It Into
a public playground, io thero will bo no
chnnro of tho Feds playing thero. That
slto was recommended mainly because of
tho excellent transit facilities.
Tho Feds nil along have wanted ex
actly one big thing recognition of their
organization as a third major league.
Sinclair, Wceghman, Ollmore nnd Ball
"go to tho mat" with this one plan In
mind: To forco organized baseball to
form a third major leaguo club with
world's series competition privileges, this
league to be mado up of live Federal
League clubs and three International
clubs.
Organized baseball from the outset has
stated that It never would recognize tho
Federal League as a major league. It
has contended from the start that thero
was no room for a third big league, and
President John K. Tcner, speaking for
tho National League, today reiterated
what he has said so often before:
"We cannot nnd will not recognize thn
Feds ns a major league."
Sinclair early In the day refused to
discuss reports that he was going to
buy tho New York Olants In case peace
was made, but It has been known for
dome time that ho would mako a big
bid for tho club in enso thero was u
chanco of It being accepted. Harry Hemp
stead, owner of tho Giants, Is tired of
baseball and probably would accept a
.reasonable bid.
If pence comes, Charles Wceghman.
owner of tho Chicago Feds, probably will
get a chance to buy the Chicago Cubs,
and, undoubtedly will avail himself of the
opportunity. Wceghman would then be
come a National Leaguo magnate and
would surrender his Federal League fran
chise. Owners Ball nnd Stlfel, of the St.
Louis Feds will bo offered a chance to
buy the Cardinals nnd they, too, probably
will accept.
At noon President Johnson and Presi
dent Tener got together and arranged an
Informal conference, of National and
American League magnates nt the con
clusion of the National Leaguo meeting
this afternoon. This meeting was for tho
purposo of discussing peaco proposals be
foro taking them up with representatives
of the Feds.

WHEN tho Football Committee com

nnd arranging a schedule for 1316 I think
that nil t'nlviTslly of Pennsylvania men,
undergraduates nnd alumni, ns well as the
many other friends of the University, will
bo satisfied Thnt. at lenst, Is my hope,
nnd I know It represents tho hope of
every member of tho committee.
Whnt wo nrc trying to do Is to select n
coach who will stand for the best tra
ditions of the t'nlvcrsltj and who will got
the best results from tho material at
hand. To that end the entire committee
Is united in Its determination to consider
tho best Judgment of Pennsylvania's fool
ball men and to net accordingly.
No ono wants hnrmoit) In Pennsylvania

nor this car did I seek mcmbcishlp on
this committee. Nor this year did I mako
nny campaign for election to the board.
Neither did I nsk the Hoard of Directors
to put me on the Footbnll Committee.
In accepting the position I wanted no
advertisement nor publicity. In fact, I
expected that what publicity I would get
would bo ot tho kind not usually desired.
What I am trlng to do is whnt every

the good of tho University.
Having oecn out of nctlve touch with
athletics nt Pennsylvania for 10 years
before I became n member of tho Foot
ball Committee Inst year, I had no nllllla

Also having no personal nmbltlons or

WITH 3IWASH Mu&ic ?
Conditions Now Far
Different Prom Those
of a Year Ago at
University
proved by tho committee nnd by many
of tho players of former football teams
who were consulted,
Most of tho men who coached this year
did so out of loyalty to Pennsylvania and
at considerable personal sacrifice. They
were chosen because they had been suc
cessful coaches In the past nnd could bo
counted upon to work ln harmony. This
thoy did notwithstanding the fact that
the system was not a satisfactory one,
and I believe It was not the fault of any
ono man that tho reaBon was not more
successful.
Tho conditions which existed n year
ago nre now completely changed, and wo
nre froe to put our Ideas Into effect. As
wns stated In tho report of tho commit
tee, there is unanimous ngrecment on
tho wisdom of a single head coach, re
sponsible for tho development of tho
team, though, of course, provided with
assistants with whom ho can work ln
harmony,
The man the committee, selects as head
coach will represent the best Judgment
of tho committee. Thero Is no prejudlco
ngalnst nny Individual.
Committee Agrees
T nm In thorough ngrecment with tho
other members of the committee ns to
tho typo of man tho University nerds for
conch. He ought to be a man who knows
modem football and who has ability to
teach It,
Another point on which the entire com
mittee is agreed Is tho necessity of hav
ing a trainer who will not bo a member
of the board of conches, but who will
devote his entire time to tho physical
condition of tho players. Thero Is ample
tlmo to Bclcct such a person, nn'd It will
be douo In due tlmo In conjunction with
the proper authorities and committees.
I hope that Pennsylvania students nnd
alumni will realize that our committee,
ns well as tho hoard of directors of tho
Athletlo Association, Is working with nn
eve single to tho advancement of tho
University's athletic Interests.
I nm perfectly willing to assuma full
responsibility for my own Judgment ln
nil things. But tho committee, par
ticularly the captain of the team, has n
right to the loyal BUpport of the- student
body. We want to give tho University
the best coach wo can and tho best
schedule wo can prepare. No commlttco
could do moro If tho students, the
graduates nnd friends of the University
will appreciate these facts there will be
completo harmony throughout and tho
chances of n success increased many fold.
