cities. A deal Is now on for a park
for this city, and site is said to have
been secured which will offer advan-

the National or American league
parks.
1t is said that players are being
lured from other clubs by the pay

by contracts calling for increased sal

association, Pacific Coast league
Southern league. Western league and
other minor organizations will be
ransacked for their best players, as
well as the major league clubs.
Several attempts have been made
in recent years to establish outlaw
organizations. but all have failed for
lack of sufficient financial backing
and through public apathy The Uni
ted States league organized this year
to include several major and eastern

which included Brooklyn, Philadel-
phia. Baltimore, Washington and four
smaller cities, started out to break

New York, Oct. 26.-Martin w.
Littleton, democratic candidate for
congress from the Oyster Bay district,
in an address last night at Carnegie
Hall, turned his guns on Colonel
Roosevelt, his attack being remark
ably chiefly for its novelty. New
Nationalism, Roosevelt's new doctrine
was made the object of ridicule along
with its champion. :.
The new nationalism, he said. has
its source in the abiding disrespect
Mr.. Roosevelt has constantly shown
toward "our form of republic" which
hac caused him to show dissatisfac-
tion with the public men of this
country as well as its institutions.
He (Roosevelt) has not yet COM
pleted his symposium Of mediocrity."
continued Mr.. Littleton. He has not
concluded his catalogue of incom-
petents; but there seems to be anoth-
er president scheduled to fall under
his condemnation. There seems to be
another who will find his place with
Buchanan, the 'shifty and selfish poll
tician,' with Tyler, who was a politi-
clan of monumental littleness, with
Van Buren, who faithfully served the
mammon of unrighteousness with
Jackson who was ignorant and head
strong with Monroe who was q
courteous gentleman of no especial
ability with Madison, whose inca
pacity brought shame and disgrace
to America in the war of 1912" with
jefferson, the most incapable presi-
dent that ever filled the presidents
chair with Polk, the very smallest of
the line of small presidents who came
between Jackson and Lincoln"
And this president awaiting, no
doubt, his place in this hall of infamy
is one that Mr.. Roosevelt himself
created 1t is a pathetic picture Of
broken friendship; it is sad commen-
tary upon the stability OF political al
liances to see a patient, just, earnest,
plain and rugged judge, who occu-
pies the position Of president, almost
crowded out of his place and exclud-
ed from the prerogatives Of his office
by a man who continues to reign
wherever and whomsoever he may.
"Is 1t any wonder then that he
preached New Nationalism? Need
one be surprised at this strange doc
trine? Having gotten his views re-
specting eight of the presidents of the
United States and having surmsed
his attitude toward a ninth, need we
be surprised that he finds no diff
Guilty in urging radical change in
the structure Of the government-a
change which is the strangest mixture
OF socialism and empire; a most
unique notion OF despotism and dis
order?"

they passed safely over Lake Huron
