	Federal League - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Federal League was the last major attempt to establish a third major league in baseball in the United States in direct competition with and opposition to the established American and National Leagues in 1914 and 1915.
		The league started as an independent minor league in 1912 as the Columbia League, but changed its name to the Federal League at the start of the 1913 season, playing as what would now be known as an "independent" minor league, but was at that time thought of as an "outlaw" minor league.

		Potential buyers and sellers of major league baseball teams, however, have historically been left without a federal antitrust remedy for such actions, no matter how arbitrary, capricious, or mean-spirited, because, early in the century, the Supreme Court concluded that baseball was exempt from the antitrust laws.

		An antitrust action to contest Major League Baseball's restrictions on the sale or transfer of teams would ideally be filed in the city or area to which the team will be moved, or at least somewhere other than the forum that is losing the team.

		The government practice of combining trust and federal funds began during the Vietnam War, thus making the human needs portion of the budget seem larger and the military portion smaller.
		Federal funds exclude trust fund money (e.g., social security), which is raised separately (e.g., the FICA and Medicare deductions in paychecks) and is specifically ear-marked for particular programs.
		By combining trust funds with federal funds, the percentage of spending on the military appears smaller, a deceptive practice first used by the government in the late 1960s as the Vietnam War became more and more unpopular.
