. for the so-called outlaws . . . the Federal Leaguers. Indianapolis was the center of the strife during the winter of 1913-1914, a winter long to be remembered in sports circles. . . . Stars of the National and American Leagues trooped in here at intervals either to accept or.reject contracts from the Feds and it was a dizzy whirl of nightowling trying to keep up with the hot stove league; the hottest on record. : The City was flooded with officials of organized - ball, of «the . Federals, players, managers, scouts and spies. . . . Almost every day or in the middle of any night the Feds would announce a’ new raid on organized baseball's ranks. as the rival groups fought it out to the hilt, Many stars jumped on ‘the Federal bandwagon, to gain fabulous salaries, others decided the gamble was too great and remained in line. And. eventually the Federal League fell apart because its payroll was too heavy for the attendance. Indianapolis surrendered its franchise after one season of walking in the" clouds, the season of 1914. . . . The old Hoofeds assembled an array of talent that won the pennant but the: club’s payroll was “terrific” and far out of line for the amount of gate receipts. v
1914 Hoofeds Stressed Potent Power “WHOA BILL” PHILLIPS piloted the 1914 Hoofeds and their park was on Kentucky Ave., where the Diamond Chain & Mfg. Co, is locaged. . i . Prior to 1914, Phillips pitched big league ball for Cincinnati and the Indianapolis Indians and also piloted the Indians for one season, in 1904, The Federal League had an humble beginning in 1913 ‘and Rhillips was the Indianapolis manager. . . . A swimming pool at Riverside Park was drained and made over into a ball park. . ..

On'Navy Day
NEW YORK, Oct. 28 (U.P). —The Navy turned up unexpectedly in the ranks of bowlconscious football teams today when academy officials disclosed that they already have received one post-season offer and would consider any and all others if the Middies continued undefeated. The invitation was made public by Commander L. S. Perry, graduate manager of athletics, in Annapolis, Md., shortly after. Maj. ‘Emory (Swede) Larsen, the Navy coach, said here that “I certainly hope we go through the season unbeaten because I'd like to see the boys in a postseason game.” Commander Perry, reached at the academy by telephone, said the present offer had come from California, but declined to say if it had been forwarded by officials of the Rose Bowl. However, he emphasized that Navy would set _no precedent by accepting such “an invitation.
