NEW YORK, December 1.-Whiie the
leaders of the revolt by the leading
minor leagues. the Eastern League and
the American Association, have inces-
sanity declared that there will be no
third major league, hence big base ball
war, 1t cannot be denied now that a

Joseph d. O'Brien and Edward Hanlon.
Dreyfuss, 1t was learned from an excel
lent source yesterday, has sent out
warning to the other National League
men that it looks to him as if trouble
Is brewing. Dreyfuss confirms the re-
port that agents. acting for Tebeau and
his associates, have secured an option
on piece of ground in the Smoky city.
Meanwhile President r. T. Powers of the
Eastern League, when informed yester-
day that President O Brien of the Ameri-
can Association had been in conference
in this city with Tebeau and Griffith. ex-
pressed surprise and wanted to be as
sured of the fact. all of which would
seem to indicate that the schemers have
not taken Powers into their confidence.

titled with one Of the biggest clubs in the
National League said Yesterday
You can bet all you've got that Te-
beau and Griffith are trying to start a
new league. They have been working on
the scheme for months, and less than
two weeks ago they felt that new club
in this city was assured. But their pros
pective hackers ran out on them and at
present they are up tree. Just keep
your eye on these fellows. If they are
unable to get things fixed for this year,
