NEW BASEBALL LEAGUE
May Include Pittsburg and Cincinnati
Promoters Meet Tomorrow.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 29.-Claude B.. Martin,
one of the promoters of the proposed new
baseball league, returned home yesterday,
after a flying trip around the circuit In
which the new organization will attempt to
locate.
The proposed league may never ma
t~eriallze, and there is no use of doing a
lot of talking until we have accomplished
something" said Mr.. Martin. THE pro-
motors have issued a call for a meeting in
New York tomorrow. By that time we
expect to have something definite to COM
municate to the public.
las things stand, we have three clubs
practically organized, but 1t tnkes more
thal three ball clubs to form a circuit.
and we have no idea of going ahead until
everything is in tip-top shape.
while we were meeting In Pittsburg Il
financial panic struck the town, and there
was 10 use attempting to do business while
the town was upset. The Stock Exchange
closed its door and the real estate man
we engaged to show us some desirable
sites for a park was loo much Interested
in the Stock Exchange trouble to give
us any real information.
1--WE did learn, however, that they hold
ground pretty high in Pittsburg. Land
values down there are something enor-
nous. The town is crazy for another bal
team, though, and we will have no trouble
interesting capital and the right people IN
the new clue.

men in Cincinnati has consented to ac-
cept the presidency of the club there, and
everything is In pretty good shape at that
end of the line.
I'VE also have a man at indianapolis,
who is rated pretty high by the mercantile
agencies. He is willing to take q chunk
of stock in some of our other clubs, too.
when we went into conference with
Jimmy Callahan, Nelson and Jake Stahl at
Chicago. they asked us who were identi-
fled with the new organization, or, in other
words, they wanted TO be shown the maj
behind the gan. We wired for Hale, the
Kansas City fire fighter, who Is. here. Cal
lahan was satisfied when Hale came on.
THE new league, If it should be riga
lied, can get along without the protection
Of the national agreement until we get
what we want. Then the National Conl-
mission will be as anxious to take us in
rs they have every other organization that
gave them a good fight. The Brotherhood
is the only baseball organization that ever
fell down hard, n 1t failed for lack OF
management.
w intend to respect all contracts made
by other clubs with players. but the re-
serve rule will not be binding on US, and
We expect to capture some good men, not
lied to contracts.
THE original intention was to make the
league n strictly Western affair, but the
men interested are now satisfied that we
can invade the East"

East Orange High School made a formal
protest against Wright and Callahan,
quarterback and right end, respectively,

eleven recently, which ended in a tie. The
East Orange team claimed that the boys
had played with a professional basketball
team and had accepted cash for their
services. The matter was referred to the
committee, with a request that Il
decision be made quickly in order that
Stevens may know whether it can play the
two boys against the Newark High School
eleven in the game scheduled fer Friday.
1t was said that at a previous meeting
Stevens had been warned against using
any players who might be suspected Of
any professionalism.

COST OF CONDUCTING COLLEGE FOOTBALL
PRINCETON SHAPING
UP FOR INDIANS

The battle between the Tigers and the
Indians at the Polo Grounds in Manhattan
next Saturday will bring together the only
two teams that have scored over 200 points.
The Princetonians were above that mark
prior to the late unpleasantness in Ithaca,
but the braves shot their total past 200
against Pennsylvania last Saturday. Penn
sylvania Is within five points of geo, but
finds no solace in that, inasmuch as a de-
feat is associated with her point total.
All of the one time big five are over the
100 mark In totals, Harvard having scored
less points than any of them.
Yale is fourth in total points, and in
offense and defense combined has the best
record of any of the teams. The Blues
goal line has not ever been seriously
threatened. Michigan and West Point
are the only Others who nave not been
scored on. Among the unbeaten teams to
date are Yale, Harvard, West Point, Dart
mouth. Carlisle. Fordham, Virginia. Michi-
gan and Chicago.
The Indians are the sensation of the sea
sou so far, and 1t is too bad that they
don't meet Yale as a finale to successive
games with Pennsylvania, Princeton and
Harvard. It has been limited that they
could beat Yale. As the two do not come
together, their respective scores against
Syracuse will rave to suffice as a compare
son. Yale beat Syracuse Il to 0. and tue
Indians beat Syracuse IA to 6. An IL to 0
score is better than II to 6.
II is a noticeable fact that with two or
three exceptions all of the teams that have
been scored on have been scored on at least
twice. That is true of Harvard, Princeton.
Pennsylvania. Cornell, Carlisle, Annapolis,
Brown, Dartmouth, Amherst and most OF
the others. The total on the debit side OF
the Pennsylvania slate is the equivalent of
six touchdowns. rh Williams team has a
record that is unusual In the sameness of
points made against and by opponents, the
former 66, the latter 55. Scores to date fol
low:
Harvard. 101-9 (slx games); Yale, 151-G

WEEKS And ATTELL,
TO MEET FOR TITLE

Los ANGELES. Oct. 29.-The feather
weight championship of the world hinges
on the twenty-round bout between Abe
.Attell. title holder. and Freddy Weeks,
challenger, at the Pacific A. c. in this
city tonight.
The men must make 122 pounds rlngslde,
stripped. and they fight for 60 per cent. of
the gross receipts, which will be cut 60
and 40 per cent.
Weeks has come rapidly to the front in
the last year. He is from Cripple Creek,
Col, where he whipped all the boys in
sight. Then he went TO Philadelphia and
won or held his own in six-round bouts
with Tommy O'Toole, Harry Baker and
several Others. Later Weeks met Grover
Hayes in his own State and gave Hayes
his first knock out.
Weeks is not a clever or fast boxer, but
Is of the Flooding style. He is a danger
Gus walloper and can stand all degrees
of punishment. His hope for victory is
to wear down Abe and then cripple him
with a terrific punch.
In Attell, Weeks meets a man who deals
In futures. The champion is out for the
money and seldom does he make.a good
showing when he fights a man the first
time. He is disposed to win by a slight
margin in order to get a return match
with better inducements.

BALL PLAYERS ON STRIKE.
Ignore National Commission and Play
in California Outlaw League.

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 29.-There is
promise of some lively times before the
winter is over, unless the major league
players wintering here give in to the Ma
tional Commissions mandate, or the latter
modlefies its latest edict regarding men I'M
der contract from playing in the California
League. Big league ball players now per-
forming in California have absolutely ig-
nored the order of the National Commits
sion TINT they will be fined 800 for the
first offense Of playing with one Of the
outlaw cams and suspended at the second
oifense; There are more than a half dozen
in California now playing with the teams,
ana they stlnply laugh at the order of the
National Commission.
Hal Chase, the greatest first baseman In
the American League and a member of
Clark Griftlth's New York team, is playing
with the San Jose Club, aud has openly
announced that he expects to continue.
George Morlarity, third baseman of the
expect me to hurry back to Clark Grifnth
and say Here | I'm. Baseball is my pro-
fession. The Eastern season is over. l
came out here to follow my profession. [
suppose the National Commission thinks II
can force me to return to Chicago and
work at my trade-if | were so fortunate
as to have one, | also suppose the COM
mission thinks 1t could force me TO stafve
through the winter"
The above words express the thoughts Of
nearly all of the players who are out
tH'At HNAhAhB Win ~lut COAST teams. IL
will be hard for the National Commission
10 convince those fellows that they haven't
a right to earn their living by playing
~baseheil when that \ what they are fitted
for. The fellows will Just refuse and prob
ably be suspended, and the Coast League
will be delighted, for 1t will then get the
benefit OF their presence next season.
The ruling of the commission affects Ell
mer Stricklett. Sandow MeTtes, Tom Hack
EFT. Ben Henderson, Doc Moskiman, Bill
Moriarity. George Moriarity, Fred Brown,
Jake Nolter. Stanage and Jimmy Whaien,
all of whom are already playing with the
outlaw teams OF the State League.
The trouble is being brought on by the
Coast League, which reported the affair
TO the National Commission. Then the
commission assured the Coast League mag
mates that the players under agreement
who played with the State League would
be fined and then suspended.
1t is said that Hal Chase has been made
a fancy offer to stay with the San Jose
team. If New York cannot get him back
the San Jose Club Is ready to set him up
in business If he will stay with the out
laws.

smashed to smithereens last night when
the oxfords, in the same tourney on the
Tuxedo alleys, reached a total of ITO. This
is the highest score ever made in COM
petition on locnl alleys and will probably
stand MS a record for many moons. johns

trailed the field with a little 1863. But for
that the worlds five-man record might
have been shattered.
