Federal League War Forces Baseball Split in 1914
Indianapolis January 22 Federal League counsel E K Gates said William Killifer must choose between the National and Federal Leagues, alleging court backing for enforcing the Federal contract. Chicago owner Charles Weeghman signed a year lease for a North Side park seating 15 000 for the Federals as Cantillon’s illness delays official meetings. The American Association debates war measures, plans pool foresight, while St Joseph reports a reserve clause dispute in Zwidlling’s sale and a possible arbitration with Tinker if Swilling’s release is blocked.
