THURSDAY EVENING,
FEDERALS HIT HJIRD
BV ME LEADER
President John K. Tener Handed
Out a Few Pertinent Facts
Yesterday
Cincinnati, Ohio, Jan. 8. Notice
was a grain served on all outlaw and
other organizations now fighting or
ganized baseball by Governor John K.
Tener. head of the .National League,
that any further attempt and all at
tempts to break down the standard of
the game would be fought In the
courts.
His principal reference was to the
Federal League and called attention
to the fact that the attacks from the
Federals have been confined to two
points, one that the reserve clause was
invalid and the other that the parties
to the national agreement are mem
bers of a trust. President Tener voiced
his opinion that neither charge could
be considered seriously. The state
ment follows:
"Baseball to-day owes its popularity
and very existence to organization.
Such organization alone has developed
and will preserve and perpetuate the
gnme to and for the American people.
.Nevertheless, organized baseball is be
ing attacked to-day by those and those
only who desire to reap commercial
benefits thereby.
Baseball Well Organized
"To-day, however, finds baseball
more completely and thoroughlv or
ganized than ever, and therefore bet
ter able to withstand and combat the
attacks that are being made upon it.
Tho Federal League does not base its
attacks upon an allegation that the
public has not been given good, clean,
high-class baseball or that the' plavers
have not been fairly treated or paid
commensurate salaries, but it is en
deavoring to induce players to break
their contracts and seeks to excuse
and justify its conduct upon two legal
points, namely, the alleged illegality
of the reserve clause in the players'
contracts and the general statement
that organized baseball constitutes a
trust. I mean by this that the Federal
League has officially announced that
It will test the reserve clause in the
courts and, failing to justify its con
tention of illegality, it will then seek
to have organized baseball Investigated
and dissolved as a trust.
"But such a threatened -war on ar
gamzed baseball, begun by promoters
simply for financial gain, and based
upon broken contracts of players
takes no heed or account of the sport
loving public, or the real welfare of
our national game; and I believe the
disapproval of such a war at the bar
of public opinion will count far more
against this movement and Its pro
moters than any technical decisions in
the courts, even though such courts
should again uphold the legality and
equity of the reserve clause.
" In 'i 01 ," 18 of fact it Is well known
that the legality of the present form
of contract between the league and
Players was attacked, but its validity
in law and equity was sustained bv the
Supreme Court in Pennsylvania in the
Lajoie case."

Special to The Telegraph
Philadelphia, Jan. 8. —For the first
time since 1890 Pennsylvania State
College will not play football with the
University of Pennsylvania next Fall,

A desire to give Penn's gridiron war- I

countered last season Is at the bottom
of the change.

been made last night than the Atlan
tic City owner preferred Reading to
his own town. This has started the
fans at Lancaster and there may be
a strengous effort made to get a team
there in spite of John H. Myers. This
will make it necessary for another
town to come in, and Easton is a
strong bidder. If Manager Heckcrt
can land a new town he is all right,
providing the circuit is increased to
eight clubs. If not he Is out.

This City Doesn't
Know When It Began
At last we are set down In th« midst
of Damascus, a city that can claim life
without a break from its founding
back In the dim down of the world's
history. When Abram crossed the
desert from Haran four thousand
years ago, this city was standing (See
Gen. 14: 15 and IB: 2.) She dates
back to the time of the Pharoahs in
Egypt; in fact, she was old when
Greece and Rome were striplings In
years. Rome may be termed the
"Eternal City," but Damascus is twice
as old, and though her streets have
run red with blood of battle and ra
pine many tlihes, she has not been
overthrown.
'Babylon is an heap in the desert
and Tyre a ruin on the shore," but
Damascus remains.
Was there ever such a place to see
the nations of the earth parading" to
gether? Here in the marketplace ar«
| motley crowds of Persians, Moors, Af
ghans, Indians, Egyptians, Sudanese,
Jews. Bedouins, Druses, Turks, Euro
peans. The streets—so crooked, so
narrow, so dirty, so full of life, with
that strange spell of the desert upon
them. The residences as seen from
the street are ugly and disappointlna
enough, yet like old barns and turn
bledown mills at home, are fascinat
ing and picturesque.— The Christian
Herald.
