Base BALL WAR MAY COME
THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION
WANTS A CHICAGO CLUB.

Tip" O'Neil, the famous old-time ball
League, is in Washington on his way to
the annual meeting of the National Asso-
citation of Professional Base Ball Leagues
In New York Tuesday. He believes that
thero will be a base ball war in the west

citation the right to place a club in Chi
cago there will. Of course, not be a war
he said, but If the permission is refused
1 am Of the opinion that the association
will outlaw itself in order to make its
circuit a paying proposition.
During my stay in Chicago heard and
saw enough to convince me that the Am
erican Association Is in earnest about
placing q club in the north side Of Chi
cago / am not interested very much in
the movement, but l am satisfied that
there is no four-fushing about all this
law league in the event of the powers
that be in base ball not granting the as
sociation the permission to change its
circuit so that Chicago will be one of the
cities comprised in It. / know positively
that the movement is on foot, but of
course, l am not in q position to say what
the outcome will be. Grounds can be Sc
cured for the asking, and enough money
can be interested to make the scheme
a sure go.
LAS the president OF the Western
League, which is a member of the ma

lieve that we will have war on our
hands if the association is refused the

SOUTH MUCH INTERESTED
VIRGINIA TO MEET NORTH
CAROLINA AT RICHMOND.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RICHMOND, Va, October 26.-The foot
ball game this afternoon between Vir-
ginia and Carolina, longtime rivals, is
the one thing of interest here today. The
streets in the neighborhood Of the hotels
in which the teams are stopping are filled
with gangs of students and they are max
ing things lively enough for the most
ardent rooter. The followers of the two
teams are Haunting their colors and the
college yells are filling the air.
The two teams arrived last evening. &C
companied by the coaches and trainers.
The Virginians are stopping at the JEFF
ferson and the Carolinians at the Rich
mond. The men are a hardy-looking lot,
and impartial judges are unable to pick
the winner on form. That 1t Is to be a
battle royal all han5s agree. That the
result Is in doubt, no one Will deny. If
reports of condition of the men. practice
work and the like count for anything.
then Virginia looks to have Just a shade
the better of it. But there Is an under
current that the Tarheels have sur
prise in store for the Virginians and that
when the game opens the scoring will
start right away
Lit can be judged of the Carolfnian
line up. The contests already played indi-
cate that TIE line is bit weak, but that
thing has been worked on Virginia before,
and worked successfully, the one desire
of the season being for the Carolinians
to defeat the Virginia team. The Carolin-
ians are a quick. alert lot, and they are
said to have trained with great care,
pains having been taken not to get them
too fine. And admirers of the White
and Blue say they are willing to put up
coin to show their faith in the team that
represents the Old North state.
There is plenty of money in sight on
the result. The betting early this morn
ing indicates that Virginia has just bit
the best of it-due to past performances.
But the money offered on Virginia at
about 5 to 6 is not lacking takers. and
when a bet Is made there is more Vir-
ginia money for the sports Of the Cd
North state.
