Plan Proposed AS the
Ideal Method For
Reorganization

Many theories OF reorganization
in organized baseball following the
making OF peace with the Feds have
been proposed by sporting authori-
ties. One Is the formation Of one
genuine maximum league. that win
be entrenched IN the cities that
can really support the best in base.
ball. and the forming OF two or
three major leagues with the re-
mainder OF the present big show
cities and those whose desire for
major league ball helped the Feds
to break in. One authority, J. h.
Sanborn, of Chicago, writes OF such
reorganization as follows:
There are only three cities OF
the real maximum class capable
OF supporting, year In and year out,
winning or losing, the highest class
OK baseball. They are Chicago.
New York and Boston. These three
have demonstrated that 1t is not
necessary to win pennant every
year to make both ends meet and
still pay real salaries. Philadelphia.
which has more than twice the pop
ulation of Boston, has demonstrated
that It will not support winner II
the salaries due winning players arc
paid. st. Louis has shown that II
will support only a winning team,
Detroit and Pittsburgh come closer
to the baseball rating of Boston
New York and Chicago than any
other cities.
THE future maximum league
may be confined to four or six cities.
but the experience OF more than 80
years has proved that the most ideal
baseball circuit or league Is one com.
posed Of eight teams.
MY guess at the makeup Of the
greatest league when II Is launched
Ia that 1t Will include Boston, New
York, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh
In the east, and Chicago. st. Louis,
Detroit and probably Cleveland in
the west. Cleveland has not sup
ported major league baseball. but

SOx Owner Thinks That
Flag Race Went
Wrong. !.

Charles A. Comiskey, owner of
the White Sox, was keenly disap-
pointed over the fact that his club
did not win the American league
championship this year. Until long
after midseason he was confident
that his team would bring home the
nag.
Comiskey sat alone in his private

and 1t is said there were tears in
his eyes.
The bards in the next room were

well as New York in the eastern
circuit. and with Pittsburgh IN the
western circuit instead OF Cleveland.
Then, to protect or occupy the
territory that might be utilized TO
form another alleged maximum
circuit by ambitious or greedy out
laws the rest Of the so-called ma
jor league cities will be shufhed up
with towns now included In the
higher grades of minor leagues to
form several compact circuits OF
cities capable Of supporting high
class teams, although not the high
est class. In each of the maximum
league cities will be located a sec
ond team of major caliber, with
enough former minor league cities
to I'LL op an eight-club league. Three
such leagues have been outlined ten
tatively rs follows:
Eastern major lcague--Boston.
Providence. New York. Brooklyn.
Newark, Baltimore, Philadelphia
and Washington.
Central major leagae-Pitts-
burgh, Buffalo. Toronto, Rochester,
Cleveland, Columbus. Detroit and
Toledo.
Western major league--Chicago,
St. Louis, Kansas City. Milwaukee,
Minneapolis, Louisville, Indianapo-
lis and Cincinnati.
"That would locate a major team
In every maximum league city and
satisfy most OF the present longings
OF the larger minor league towns to
attain their majority In baseball.

HANOVER. N. H.. Oct. 29.--
Dartmouth students are going to

travel at the rate OF so cents per

ly ruled that students could not
travel as live stock. and the fol-
lowers Of the Big Green eleven

The Dartmouth students found
that, while they could be stopped
from going as live stock. there
was no law against travelling as
live stock attendants. and In each
box car the students will carry

The little squealer will GER
tainly be given plenty Of atten-
ton and showered with all fav-
ors. as It proved a lifesaver for
those students who could not at

Eleanor, yesterday, after I came
back from the ride, came in and
rubbed my head lightly until fell

lightly given up.
Last night Dick again asked me if
I did not love him any more. Since

Poor old Dick, I do not think he is to
