FEDERAL IS JOKE
Fonder ' Bridgeport Manager
Says Outlaw Magnates'
;, Experience Will Be
v - Expensive.
Gene' McChtnnbelieves,: that the life
N tbe Federal league ' will be short
' and expensive to the promoters of the
, new circuit.- "The promoters of the
new league "are laboring under a. hor
IrHble delusion,"' declared the New Lon
don manager, the other day.- "
' "The organized -force's of baseball
are too formidable for any new league
:to cope with and, the sooner J,im Gil-
more- and : his , flock t realize that"" fact
the more Imoney.. they wm;ve."';Be;
i cause- of the fact that enormous prices
were', paid for Tinker, Brown and
Knabe, young ball players should not
(feel that the financial, backing -of such
an organization Is, of ,'thV concrete
'variety. .'Tinker and Brown iave been
playing major league baefeDan lor
come .years, itfo one realizes, any bet
ter than themselves that the curfew
I win "ir!nr nnd ttielr eareerS as star
IhaseKaJl performers will be over.
"Efther.jnan cannot last more wan
three ' more , years . at the most. . Why
shouldn't they jump at the chance to
get more moneyn. the outlaw, league
Supposing the " league I does '-.-' go to
jpieoes? Tinker and Brown have a
'substantial piece of change and would
care "little -If - the organized faction of
professional baseball clubs refused to
-let them march in the ranks.
jut notsoi Wraths the young player
who'iias a promising career ahead of
'tiimf&i thebig leagu.es.- Supposing he
jumps for a' fancy price He gets his
xnorrfSy- on paper, not the coveted
greenbacks." He has only to play one
game' in an outlaw league to be ostracized-from
organized baseball. If the
Federal, league goes theVway. of the
transgressor his baseball aspirations
have ;been shot to pieces andlhe. is "a
gone-by without even being a has
been. 'What , guarantee does ) the out
law league give thei.otins-."player so
that he is sure to receive the salary
Th Federal -league -.'will -never ' bW-r'
come a part "of organized oaseoau ana
.the players who. participate in . one
"game ' under the direction . of that
league will be ..barred from organized
"baseball forever. 'The National and
'American leagues, are here to stay and
the Federal league is . a.-risky ' experi
ment. The young player with abil
ity whe" is anxious, to succeed in the
baseball world will do a wise thing if
he lets well enough alone and stays
in the ranks of organized baseball."

Against - rude Americans like Frank
.Klaus and -Billy Papke, however, he
-didn't show 'as well.

from boxing and as an' athletic -instructor
and in lending his - name to
various enterprises. . Hels said. t be
worth about ' a quarter of - a 'minion
dollars. ' Like most Frenchmen, he: is
thrifty, and does not.spend. hie coin in
