About a year ago I completed my 1915 cracker jack federal league set which has in it 50 players. But it wasn't until the other night that I realized only 48 of the 50 actually played in the federal league. Rube Marquard and Jimmy Austin both indicated in the 1914-15 off-season that they intended to play for the federals in 1915. Apparently the cracker jacks went to press before both players reneged. Neither spent any time in the federal league but both have cards saying they did.
