A serious fire was narrowly averted last
evening at the Hyatt mansion, formerly
occupied by c. c. Hyatt, after whom the
village is named, and now a boarding
house occupied by Mrs. H. c. Dobbs. The
blaze was caused by a defective lamp,
which was in a few minutes a mass of
flames. Fortunately several men were
about the place. and by the use of
blankets and carpets they succeeded in ex-
tinguishing the blaze. Beside the destruc-

damage was slight

The American Association.


Notwithstanding the many humorous re-
marks about its organization, the Ameri-
can Association has become known guam
tity, and it is more than likely that the
players in its clubs will be the only ones
outside of the National League to play
frSt-ciasS ball next season. Editor Richter
OF Sporting Life has dealt very cunServa-
lively with the new movement heretofore.
but in this weeks paper has the following
to say:
The threat of the American League to
break the national agreement and extend
its circuit eastward makes il necessary for
the organizers OF the new American Assoc
citation to expose their hand just enough to
assure the public that it has defeated all
possible league schemes to head ii off, and
has moreover foreStailed all attempts to
Suppant it genuine rival TO the Ma
tional League. In other words. Sporting
Life spoke advisedly when it stated edi-
torialiy two weeks ago that the new Amer
lcau Association was not so dead as the
league magnatcS believed it to be We
have good authority for saying that the
new association has not even been sleep
ing. but has been steadily in secret per
fecting its organization. which is now so
far advanced that seven clubs are ready
for business and but one more CITY in the
circuit. thus Warrantng The assertion that
he association will surely enter tht. base

EIGHT CLUBS IN NATIONAL LEAGUE
Local Capitalists Would Join New
Organization
w AGNERS HOLD CONTROL

The arrival of President Brush of the Gin
cinnati club in New York the payment of
the Nrgley $40 fine by Brooklyn and the
more than probable reduction of the Ma
tional League circuit of base ball clubs to
eight cities bring the pertinent question
home to the local lovers of the nationa!
game as to what will become of Washing
ton.
Heretofore the Brooklyn aitmore s:-Ii-
dicate has blocked operations by refusing
to hearken to proposals to buy out the
baltimore franchise. but the turn that came
Thursday bringing about the payment of
the obnoxious fine and the announcement
that offers would he received for the
Orioles has placed entirely different as
Dect upon the situation. Cleveland and
Louisville are in the same situation as a
beggar on the corner. with palms out
stretched. willing to take whatever is Of
Tered. and the Messrs. Wagner have placed
a price on their club. All The circuit reduc-
ing committee Will have to do is to agree
upon the figures for the two eastern clubs
not wanted. and the eisht-club league will
ne complete. The chances are that this
situation will he reached within the next

As animated in The Star frequently, and
expert opinion agrees Herewith. Washing
ton will not stand for minor league base
ball The Senators in years past may have
played the poorest sort of ball. but the OPP
posing teams presented the stars of the
profession, and this fact was what made
the local patrons give up their half dollars
with pleasure In d minor league these at
fractions would be missing and no matter
how well the Senators may play against
their opponents ii would not be first-ciass
ball. and the patronage would drop off to
nothing.
Neither the Eastern nor American nor
Western League has anything to offer in
the way of clubs players that would
prove attractive to local patrons and the
situation resolves itself into two alterna-
t!ves-a club in the contemplated American
Association or no professional ball at ALL
