FED TEAMS OUTHIT AND OUTPITCH 0. B. NINESSAYS OAKES Manager of Pittsburg Compares New League's Standard of Ball With Old Circuit's Brand. The following article was written by Rebel Oakes. manager of the Pittsburg Federal league team. It shows the class of work' shown by the Federal league, a representative team of which Is the Chifeds, which comes to Richmond next Sunday for an exhibition tame. Not only has the Federal league survived three months when organized baseball at all times was predicting its early demise, but in- addition it has shown by the quality of its play and the attention that the fans have Bhown that it is worthy of a niche in the baseball world. The speed of the Federal game and the few number of errors committed by the Federal league players have been appreciated by the baseball public and at the season of the year when baseball patronage Is in the habit of railing off It Is really increasing at the Federal games. This is only one of numerous proofs that the Federals have come to stay. A review of the season to date Bhows one of the most interesting contests known In baseball history. As the season has advanced the spread between top and bottom has naturally

lengthened to some extent but still none of the teams is out of the race and I feel confident that my Pittsburg players will be up in the front of the race before the last game is played. Changes Please Fans. The Federals have been responsible for several Innovations which have met With the favor of the fans, despite the fact that the opposition in a vain attempt to wean patronage away from the Federals has claimed from time to time that those connected with the Federals are not baseball men and that therefore the Federals must fail. This statement is absurd on the face of it. If any one goes into the history of other business enterprises it will be found that a large percentage of busi

ness successes have been scored by men who were ignorant regarding the nature of the business in which they embarked. Because a man has never been connected with a baseball team is no reason that he will fail as a baseball man, admitting that he is a good business man, as baseball as it is played and conducted today is a business enterprise as much as any other line of business. But when one looks over the list of those connected with the Federal league it will be found that there are a number of men who are posted on all features of baseballdom. In addition all the Federal league managers are men who have had a thorough drilling in the national pastime and should and are in, a position to impart their knowledge to those members of their teams who have not been in the big show before.

1" TO MAKE TENT ASSEMBLE CENTER Learner Will Install Rest Room and Games at Chautauqua. Plans are being made by Secretary Learner of the Y. M. C. A. to make the Y. M. C. A. tent at the Chautauqua grounds the social headquarters of the camp. , The association has rented the largest tent available, in which will be placed a billiard table and tables for playing checkers and chess. Several other games will be installed. A portion of the tent will also be used as a rest room. A Victrola and a piano will be placed in the tent. The plat shows that practically all of the lots in the old portion of the Chautauqua grounds have been taken and fifteen lots have been ordered in

the new addition, which will accommodate sixty-five tents. Contrary to the announcement made by the management yesterday, the headquarters will not be moved to

the grounds until Monday. The head

quarters tent and the big tent have

been erected, but it was thought ad

visable to leave the headquarters at the Y. M. C. A. building as it would

be more convenient.

Even the opposition must admit that don't excel the opposition.

In the Federal league there is a bunch ) I know that not only are our games of wise heads in the baseball world; faster and with fewer errors than men who have made a study of the , those of the opposition but in addition game, and in the business offices of with the high grade pitching staffs

the various teams there are men who have made successes either in baseball

or in other lines of business and are applying their knowledge of business in general to running the teams of the league, running them with success financially. But the financial end is really not what interests the baseball public. The fans in general don't care whether the agnates are losing or making money. What the fans want is high grade baseball and that is what we are furnishing them. What the fans like

that we have we are able to offer the fans better pitching arguments than they are able to witness in the other major leagues. Even the opposition and the newspa

pers throughout the country admit

that the two other major leagues are deplorably weak in the pitching staffs and this whole weakness can be laid to the raids of the Federals.
