Of another rival organization. but there
is no doubt but that Tebeau and Wat

IL. and they realize that there is a
splendid opening for SUCH an organiza-
ton as they have under way.
At this time Tebeau declines 20 talk
about the new league. but contents him
self with the simple statement that
Louisville and the American association
will be found at the top OF the heap,
whatever this may mean.
