four years this circus has emitted.
There is no question as to the supe-
riority of this big show. For fire gen.

other show has been able to follow.
There is no place on earth where it
has not pitched its mammoth tents
Nobility has applauded it, European
kings and Oriental potentates have
admired it, and all America has long
recognized its position at the head OF
all amusement enterprises. With the
advantage of it's years of foreign travel
and with an agent in every large city

why it controls the talent of the

consequence that has ever visited the

earth that is great enough to exhibit

many years it has begun its annual
tours at the Madison Square garden

is A THIRD MAJOR
LEAGUE POSSIBLE?

A roundup of base ball opinions IN the
matter of the threat of the minor leagucrs
to start a base ball war in the event OF
their not being granted certain conces-
sions shows that there is little likelihood
of trouble.
Where would the secessionists locate"
is the query on which the invasion argu-
ment is broken up.
1t is pointed out that all the real big
base ball cities are already occupied by
the two big major leagues, the American
and National, and that to make good the
newcomers would either have to create
new base ball towns with cities already
occupied by the big uns.''
Would this pay?
What cities would support an extra
club composed chiefly of minor leaguers.
much less three clubs, as would be the
case in cities such as Philadelphia. Chi
cago. New York. St. Louis and Boston.
where two major league clubs are al
ready fighting for patronage?
The new clubs in the big cities already
claimed" would hardly pay. What
would, for instance, become of a new CLUB
in Philadelphia or in Pittsburg, for that
matter?
In Chicago, where the fans are SO much
divided, it might be different. The SoN
and Cubs might as we'll be the Giants
and Brooklyn, SO far as the one city
idea is concerned. Outside of the Windy
city there appears to be very little room
for a third or even second team in any Of
the big league locations.
So far as Buffalo, Newark, Jersey City
or any of the other smaller towns spoken
of as possible circuit members of the
purposed third league the question Is
naturally asked:
why would minor league club COM
posed of minor league players in a minor
league town be a better drawing card
under a larger title, with exactly the
same conditions eXiSting?"
More and more is 1t being argued that
the best the '.bolting" factions can expect

who have been the biggest factor. in max
ing the Hatchetite eleven the powerful
machine that it is left the field amid the
cheers of the varsity.
The remaining work in preparation for
the big game with Bucknell Thanksgiv-
ing day will consist in signal drill. every
effort being bent to develop speed and
team work. There is no doubt but that
every regular will be in the lineup against
the Pennsylvania team, as the injured
have all completely recovered. The scrim-
mage last evening was particularly severe,
and consisted in the scrub team ham,
mering the varsity with formation that
will be used by the Bucknell team
Thanksgiving day. and as a result the
Hatchetites will undoubtedly be more or
less familiar with anything that the
northerners can offer in the way of at

Preparation are being made by the
student body to give the team a great

will be treated to some interesting do

PUGILIST BRADLEY
MAY DIE OF INJURIES

PHILADELPHIA, November 24-Fred
Bradley. the Boston heavy weight pugi-
list who was seriously Injured in a savage
bout at the West End Athletic Club here
last night with Al Kubiak, known as the
Michigan Giant, is still in a critical con-
dition at the Presbyterian Hospital. He
is suffering from conclusion of the brain
and a possible fracture of the skull. The
physicians are doubtful whether he will
recover. All the principals in the affair
were arraigned before a magistrate to-
day. Kubiak was committed to the coun-
ty prison without bail to await the out
come of Bradley's injuries. and Philadel-
phia Jack Brien, the referee of the
bout John Kelley, manager of Kubiak:
Jim DAILY. manager for Bradley, and Ste
phen O'Hara, kubiaks seconds, were held
in $500 bail each, which was furnished by
O'Brien.
In the fight last night Bradley was
beaten from the start. He was fioored
twice in the third round, the bell saving
him from being knocked out. In the
fourth he came up very weak and kubiak
went at him furiously. Bradley protect
ed his face, but was badly punished about
the body. Suddenly kubiak sent his right
fist flush against his opponents jaw and
the Bostonian went down in a heap and
was waved to his corner by the referee,
Later he became unconscious and is still
in that condition.

With no foot ball game intervening,
preparation for the contest with the
Army team on Franklin Field, Phila-
delphia, next Saturday was the only OBJ
ject of the work at the Naval Academy
yesterday afternoon. Realizing that there

of the team anything further about the

coaches toward acquiring greater power

an hour of stiff signal drill. The men are

The lineup remains the same as in the

been made in the back field This was
necessary because of Fitzgerald being
compelled to give up playing on account
of injuries. Maher has taken his place
