So far American League officials,
when asked what they would do
about Federal activity, have replied
that it was a league affair, and they
would not worry until their own or
ganization was attacked. If that atti-
tude is maintained it means a
straight-out fight between the Ma
sionaI and Federal.
American League nagnates should
remember that only a few years ago
they were in exactly the same posi-
ton as the Feds are today. They were
trying to break through the National
and establish themselves as a second
big league.
Whether there is room for three
league is something that only an ac-
tual experiment can determine. But
there is room for two leagues. If the
Federal comes through and develops
into a regular major organization,
playing as good a brand of ball as
either of the present two major cir
.Uits, there is no reason why it
houldn't be well received.
Whether the Federal and Amer
can, Federal and National, or the
present majors provide us with the
sport is a matter of Indifference. But
if the Feds can give us the goods,
hey are entitled to a show.
This outlaw talk is bunk, and the
.tblic will treat it so if they like the
eW league offerings.

DEDICATED To
ALLAN AGIRLS
Great Bandmaster Will Have the
Composition Played for First
Time at Auto Show.

When society night" draws its
swallow tailed and diamond strollers
to the Automobile Show one night
early next November that portion of
the passing throng which fancies
electrics more than gas burners will
receive a compliment rather out of
the ordinary. John Philip Sousa,
known as THE March King" since
the old two-step days, will salute the
society throng with his newest march.
And he has named it The Peach
tree Belle" in honor Of the Atlanta
girls.
The black bearded bandmaster has
had this in mind ever since he paid
a visit to Atlanta several months ago,
but 1t was supposed to be a secret.
1t leaked out yesterday in a bit of
correspondence between the manage
ment of the Automobile Show and
one of the Sousa business forces. The
composer has nearly finished the new
march.

Westervelt Terhune Also in Peril as He Is
Brushed From Horse by Tree

The Brookhaven Hunt Club, organ
lied recently as one of the activities
of the BrOokhaven Country Club, the
summer home of the Capital Cily
Club, held its first hunt Saturday aft
ernoon, starting the hounds on the
club grounds and concluding the ten
mile run about a quarter of a mile
east of the clubhouse.
The hunt was what is known as >
drag hunt" with one break-a ten
minute rest. A skin was dragged
over the course a short while before
the chase began, and the hounds fol-
lowed the scene of this Itwas found
impossible to use a real OK in tn a
chase, because they never could be
caught if they got loose in the hills
and valleys that surround the club
house.
Fifteen members OF the club, head
ed by J. S. SliCer as NJ. F. H, start
ed in the hunt-and eight of them
finished with the hounds. Four of
the others got lost and didn't appear
for an hour after the hounds came
in; three became discouraged and GU

horse, Firecracker, broke his curb
chain and bolted, ard Westervelt Ter
hume, one of the most enthusiastic o.
the hunters, ran his mount too close
to a tree and was scraped off, alight-
ing with great energy, but slight
pleasure, upon solid and unyielding
log.
These, however, were regarded as
merely the incidental mishaps that
crop up in any fox hunt, and all of
the hunters are enthusiastic and eager
for more.

The course OF the chase yesterday
was laid out several days in advan e,

Small fences, similar to the ordinary
rail fence but not quite so high, were
erected, and the course also took in a

II was in this forest that Wester-

in the van of the hunters, and in his
excitement failed to see a large tree

urged his mount onward with a glad
and piercing shout-aud ran into the
tree. He was scraped off and several
branches brushed his face with any
thing but a caressing touch. The ac-

moments, but Mr.. Terhune mounted
his horse and continued the chase

after about half of the course hal

near DR. Kings Sanitarium, north Of

POLES ONCE ON EoUAToR7
Flammarion Discusses a Discovery by
the Scott Expedition.

Paris Camille Flammarion. the cell
ebrated astronomer. discussing the
statement that the Scott expedition
found evidence that the south pole had
twice been a temperate zone. said:
The evidence evidently relates to
the discovery Of fossils Of fauna and
fora such as have already been found
In the arctic regions. These are taken
by one school of theorists as proving
that the poles once occupied the posi-
ton Of the equator and enjoyed a warm
climate. while the two opposite points.
now on the equator. were frozen poles.
The theory is that the obllQuity OF
the earth. which. as every one knows.
travels around the sun at an angle Of
% degrees. Is liable to great variation.
Thus from time to time during the
millions of years the earth has existed
the poles have changed from place to
place on the earth's surface.
But this is only a theory and one
which the exact science of astronomy
does not so far support"
