cupied a strong entrenchment posi-

murderous nordenfeldt and rife
fire. The Royal Dublin fusillers,
the Kings Own Scots, and Natal
rangers crossed with superb, IN
finching gallantry, but their posi-
ton on the other side vas found
utterly untenable. The British suf-
fered heavily from a perfect hail
of artillery and shrapnel, while
their own artillery was very badly
rnauled. They we're therefore obIig-

MUST REDUCE THE CIRCUIT.
President Robson Says Washington
is Better City Than Brooklyn.

Mr. Frank De Haas Robson, president of
the st. Louis club, does not take stock in
the organization of a new league. says the
Cincinnati Times-Star. He bases his opin-
ion on three points. He does not believe
that the proposed league Will be able to
raise the three-fourths of million dollars
necessary to launch it he does not believe
that the league could secure a sufficient
number of high-class players to make
showing even if the money necessary to
operate the league was forthcoming. and
he does not believe thatfthere is field, nor
are there players enough, for two ffrst-class
organizations.
Nv e are doing all in our power now to
bring the game To a point where it will
give general satisfactGn-by that | mean
that we desire that the league be made UP
of nothing but strong teams, located IN
cities that will appreciate them This can
be done only by reducing the circuit, for
there are not enough FIRST class players in
the country to supply twelve teams and
there are enough to supply eight. This is
what We are working for and when it is ac-
complished the American base bail public
will see the best base ball that ever has
been offered.
My ideal circuit would be Chicago, s..
Louis, Cincinnati and Pittsburg in the
and Boston New York, Philadelphia and
Washington in the east. This would neces-
state the elimination of Cleveland, ouis-
vile, brooklyn and Baltimore These four
cities. added two each to the Western.and
the Eastern leagues, would help to form
two wonderfully strong class a minJr
leagues in which salaries need not be high
and still a high-cass article of base ball
woulu be played. l do not consider Brook
Ign good city Washington. This has
been demonstrated this year, when the at
tendance III Brooklyn with championship
team has been little, if any, larger than in
Washington, where the home team is in
eleventh place. OF all the cities in the
league only New York and Chicago can
support championship teams because of the
transient patronage these cities afford. In
all the other cities championship means a
falling off in attendance Tor two or three
seasons after the champ onship is won, for
the reason that the patrons are surfeited
with good base ball. their ambition for
their pet team is satisfied and they are
willing to let it go at that"
