By J. ED aR1LLo.

One scheme which the major leagues
may follow in order to kill off the Fed
eral League is to agree to allow the
American Association to expand its cir
cult and place clubs in Cleveland and
Pittsburgh, to play on the major league
grounds in those cities during the absence
of the Pirates and Maps. The American
Association Is in a better position to fur
nish q high grade Of base ball than the
and would have the advantage
of playing on major league parks. To in
crease the association circuit to a ten
club one would not be advisab BILE, because
such an arrangement is both unwieldy
and Improbable, so that it is not un-
likely that two other major league cities
will be invaded by the association SO as
to make the circuit one Of twelve clubs.
But it is not believed that the Federal
League will furnish opposition enough to
warrant any war measures. The meeting
of the Federal League held in Indianap-
oils Saturday was more or less joke. To
begin with, the outlaws" failed to make
good the announcement that every club
would be compelled to put up twenty
ve-thousand-dollar guarantee by Novem-
Der 1.
For several weeks Horace Fogel has
been decidedly busy in the interest of the
Federal League. He held conferences
with various Philadelphia capitalists and
created the impression that he would be
at the head of a club in Philadelphia in
the new league, and he also conferred
with President Fultz of the Players Fra
ternity. In fact. Horace said he was one
of the prime movers in the OUTLAW or
ganization.
Yet at the meeting of the league in In
dianapolis Saturday the former head of
the Phillies was slapped on the wrist and
told that he was not wanted.
Perhaps the most absurd trade story
that has been sprung this fall comes from
Boston and 1t is to the effect that a
three-cornered deal Is under way which
will send Iris Speaker to New York and
Ty Cobb to Boston, while Chance is to
give up five or six of his players to the
Detroit club
The names of the players to be sent to
Jennings are carefully omitted, and wise
" SO, for to mention them being traded
for Cobb would make the entire affair
look absurd.
On the other hand there Is no reason
for believing that the Boston club would
consider a trade of Speaker for Cobb.
Speaker, whole he may not be as sensa-
tional as Cobb, when the latter is trying.
is a player who always gives his club his
best efforts. He is undoubtedly the great
est fielder In the game and hitter who
ranks up with the top-notchers every
season.
The impression that the American
League clubs will make an effort to
strengthen the New York team by giving
it some of the stars of other teams Is alb
solutely erroneous.

OPERATED ON OWN BODIES
Cases Of Four Heroic Surgeons Who
Established Records for Acts
Of "Autotomy."

The recent report from San Fran
cisco that surgeon there had at

appendicitis recalls to DR. Paul
Reclus four instances where surgeons
actually did succeed in performing
operations upon themselves. He re-
counts them In the Lancet, and the
following appears In the Medical Rec.
ord:
Paul Reclus has commented on
the courage and stoicism necessary
for the act of what he calls 'au-
totomy,' or surgical operation upon
ones own body. He has described
at some length four examples of this
heroic procedure. The first story is
that of French surgeon who. having
asquired a small outgrowing tubercu.

to excise 1t under cocaine anesthesia
This he did, surrounded by his class
in curiously unsurgical way, by fix

then a sharp spoon-in the left hand
movements with the diseased right
hand. In spite of this novel tech
nfuue, the result was quite satisfac-
tory His only discomfort was a little
nausea at the unpleasant sensation Of
scraping his own periosteum: this
was, however, corrected by a sip Of
hot coffee.

such complete success that he deter

went well, and there was neither pain
