P?ETHORA of baseball
That Is, if Two Mew Outlaw
Leagues Carry Out Plans.
TO INVADE THIS DISTRICT
Lots of Money Needed, as the
Fight Is Sure To Be Long
Drawn Out.
Five big league baseball club?, with ;?
possibility of six, in greater New York l?
the present outlook for next season. If the
plans ..f the two new leagues recently
organised an- carried out the metropolita i
district will !>?? treated to su.-!) a plethora
Of th? national sport that the -fans" will
b? beefoe themselvea The two organiza?
tions which have been formed to break
Into toe territory now occupied by th?
? il and American leagues ar? th
United States Baseball league and the
Columbian League. v..u ~*?-m?r t? tiic pr<>
motlon of soi m? Mew T irk ?uen, who s
that they have unlimited cnpltal behind
them, while the latter Is the outgrowth
of an enthusiastic ?.'iileago spirit. Both
have found i heir way Into the public eye
within th? last month.
While tlie circuits of th? two organiza
tions have not been completely made up
and are now in the course of construction,
yet New York is regarded as such a gold
mine for basehall that on?; league already
has decided to place two clubs In this
city. The United State? League will put
teams In Brooklyn and New York. These
nines, with th? ("?lants. Yankees and Su
perbas, will bring the total In the greater
City up to five. The rest of the United
Stat.s League, circuit will Include Cindre*
nati. Pittsburgh, Reading, Washington and
Richmond Th? eighth city of th? circuit
has not been picked, but the choice lies
between Cleveland and Baltimore.
Tin- promoter? of the league have an
option on grounds for a park In Th? Bronx,
snd consider that they have a million per?
il thai It callty to draw from. T'.ie
Krounds of th? Brooklyn <iub will natural*
on Long Island, where th? pro? :
? to be equally bright if Cleve?
land is chosen as the eighth city of the
circuit, the I'liited States League will com?
pete w'tii the major leagues In every city
except Beading and Richmond. Th?- or?
ganisation will undoubtedly rind that it
will have : .. small light "H Its hands
The Columbian League Is largely a West?
ern affair, but there Is a possibility of New
York being included in the circuit, and if
so the clubs of the greater city will be
brought up t" six. The American Leaf :
and the American Association will be the
organisations to suffer the most if the
Columbian league gets a good start. A
third club for St. lxiuls and Chicago la'
planned, and only hen? will the National
League be affected. Th.- other four eitles
already chosen for the circuit are Detroit,
Of th?' American League, and Kansas <'ity,
Milwaukee and Louisville, of the American
Association. The cltU-s under consideration
include Cleveland, Columbus, Pittsburgh,
Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Peor?a, Minne?
apolis and St. Paul. Chiba are sure to be
pieced In two of these cities, as applica?
tions .Save been received.
There is likely to be some comi??-tltion
!?? tween the two outlaw leaKues aside from
the fight they will have with organised
baseball. Cincinnati. Httshurgh and ?leve
land are looked upon with favor hy th?
I'nlted States league, while, Ht the ?am
time, these cities are coaaMered prorn!?lnK
fields for the Columbian League, it win
be hard enough for one alone to get i
foothold In theBe cities, but If both league?
place club? In the favored loealltt? ?. th?- n
suits are likely to be disastrous.
William A Witman la the president of'
the United Stntes League and is now in .

No war with organised baseball la

tini?-. it is hard to see how there can b?

qutekly. It is generally believed that both
leagues will partake largely of a semi

champion. The score was 0 to 3. Kxcept
for a few mlnute3 In the early statte? of
the game there was never any doubt a? to
the llnal outcome. When the Brooklyn

The game was rough?rougher than ths

tion many pounds to the man, the Crevant,
players took advantage of the extra avoir?
dupois, with the result that the Hockey
flub skaters were bowled over like ten
pins.
The chunky Pufresne, who look? like g
small ?dition of Zbyssko, ploughed hi? wa7
through the opposition, never taking thsj
tiouble to dodge anything. Those who did
not do.ige hlrn regretted it. At on?- tlm?

The rubber went like a shot past the net.
hitting the hoards beyond with a f?"port
like a cannon. "Th?) war has begun," re?
marked a spectator. It had been

ordered out by R. Strange, the assistant

it seemed that Noteworthy got a ciaclc

In th? second half both of the Hockey

gave no lii'lh-ntion of what wai to fellow.
I'P to that tine the contest had be n al?
