SQUABBLES IN SOCCER
LEAGUE MAY DISRUPT
BODY DURING SEASON
American League Faces Tenn
pestuous Times Following
Troubles and Quarrels
of Last Year

II the local soccer organizations hope
10 weather the coming season success
fully, there must be an absence OF the
petty SQUALLS that were so much In eVi-
dence last year. Jealousy on the part
OF the officials of the different leagues,
for the most part, was the cause OF these
disagreements.
From a reliable source the information
has been received that the American
League of Association Football Clubs Is
I'm a bad way and that II would not be
at all surprising to those who have 1ol-
lowed its affairs closely to see II dis
band before the season is well under
way
Despite the optimism so prevalent at
the annual meeting last week, the new
officials must feel that they have hard
row to hoe before the organization will
be again received into the good graces
of soccer enthusiasts.
The death knel Of the American
League was sounded last winter, when its
officers refused to permit the teams to
take part in the Eastern Association
benefit. For this action they were
promptly suspended for three years,
along with the leagues delegates to the
parent body.
Only two teams are certain to retain
their franchises in the American League.
The Hibernians and Victor are the teams
tnat can De counted on. Inc CnhIlploi
Bethlehem eleven probably will play in
dopendently. West Philadelphia will not
place a team in the field, and Falls has
Joined the Allied League. The Rangers
made such a poor showing last year
that the team was almost ready to quit.
The plans of Disston and Victor Talking
Machine have not been made public, but
they are not expected TO remain In the
American League.
II the Americans intend to play as an
outlaw organization, they will have the
unqualified support of more teams than
they can count on at present, and of the
soccer public, before their emulation of
the Feds meets with success.
An official Of the United League pre-
diets a stormy season for the Allied
Amateur League, whereas the latter or
ganization appears to be much the
strongest of the lot. This year the Allies
will have at least six divisions of eight
clubs each, and probably seven divisions.
Victrix is the only club in the first
division last year that will not be rep
resented by a team, and its place is taken
by Falls. j. B. Farrell, erstwhile leader
of the "Vics," will guide the destinies of
the Wanderers.
Harmony has always reigned In the
ranks of the Allied League, in direct con-
trast to the other circuits.

Snuff and a Crook.

Robert Pinkerton once told story
Of his father. the founder of the de
tective agency. which illustrates the
elder Pinkerton's caution. A noted
criminal was detained In Pinkerton's
Chicago Office. The elder Pinkerton
left the room and when he returned
took the precaution of holding re-
volver in front Of him ready for use.
He saw the criminal standing by the
door with a snuffbox he had picked
up from Pinkerton's desk in his hand.
This is good snuff" affably re-
marked the crook as he took sniff.
For the eyes or the nose?" asked
Pinkerton. who knew that the crook
had intended to blind him In an effort
to escape.
"Well." remarked the criminal. I'm
sorry to say that the nose gets it this
time"
