such rough experience last season. is
planning to form "a new circuit for 1915,

The cities named to date are Newark.

An eighth town is wanted, but no an

The status of the proposed new cir

proposition was put up to the Federal
League TO have the Atlantic League
come under the control Of the big in
dependent association as n sort of farm

float the whole thing themselves. passed
1t up. Now the scheme seems to be to
butt into the territory OF the Eastern
Association md, of course. this cannot
be done If the Atlantic League wishes
to continue Its connection with or
ganized baseball.
AS far as Newark Is concerned the
Idea of putting another league baseball
team here Is one that will merely make
