New York, Nov. 5.--There will be
a third major league next season.
This Is practical certainty. The
American association and the Inter-
national League will go out of busi-
ness. The best paying clubs in these
two circuits will form the new league.
Ed Barrow, at present of the Inter-
national league, will head the third
league. This news comes from pow
erful and well-informed baseball au
thorities.
Not only will the American associ-
alton and the International league go
out of business l0 1915. but SO per

ished the season this year, as against
forty seven that were in the field q

The major leagues must keep the
little fellows alive in order to have n
ram from which they can draw future
stars.

ROBERTSON P.QJ{O
At FANS CRITICISM
After Establishing "A Batting Record
I'm Worlds Series Davcy
Threatens to Retire.

New York, Nov. 5.-Davey Robert
son. the Giants rightfielder, threatens
to give up baseball because of the
criticism he has received through his
fielding errors In the worlds series.
Robbie Is sensitive TO criticism, and
last season he was the last member
OF the New York club to sign his con-
tract because he was piqued at the
comments on his work in this city.
Manager McGraw has said on more
than one occasion that If Robertson
would take ba sehali seriously he would
be one Of the greatest players in the
game. Robbie plays as he pleases, and
1T never worries him If he never makes
hit. while he gets no unusual thrill,
as Benny Kauff does, when he bangs
out a home run. Robertson is coolly
Indifferent about the ga me.
II Robertson does give IN baseball
he will have the satisfaction of know
ing that his last performance on the
diamond was ore which will live for
a long time in the history OF world s
series games. Robbie established a
new batting record in the last worlds
series. He got eleven hits in twenty two
trips to the plate. and was the only
player who got into double figures in
the number OF hits, Robbie's hitting
record was 500 in six games
