delivery The fielding OF the local nine was
miserable.
That Special Meeting.
a dispatch from Piits0urg states that the
special meeting Of the American Association
to have been held there yesterday to take
action on the Leagues latest move-she re-
inssatement Of the disqualified pIsyers-wss
postponed until Monday, owing TO the alb
sencs Of several delegates. It IS intimated
that this meeting will make the Lucas
opauldiDg gang open their eyes. Toe state
ment also comes from q reliable source that
the Metropolitans, OF New YORK, will be
fired bodily out Of the Association and the
Nationals, OF Washington, will take their
place. Washington certainly has a very
better showing in the American Association
than the Nets. II is said that the reserve
rule will surely 60, the fact having been
fairly demonstrated that the League has
no intention whatever of observing
the rule, even though it brought
the sane into existence and induced
the American Association to take it up.
The American Association will continue to
respect the contracts of the League, bat no
more reservations for ii. Csy,9r, IN tho
Commercial GsZstte, says the League has
forced the fight and must abide by the re
can not submit 10 the ridiculous action OF
the League without admitting that it Is COM
posed OF set OF chumps. Somebody will
suffer, and certain clabs will surely go to
the wall. The Cincinnati paper thinks that
the League hes bitten off more than Ii can
chew.
indianapolis Received No Invitation
An evening paper makes the statement
that President Schwabacher, of the home
club, on Thursday received telegram from
the President of the American Association,
inviting Indianapolis to join the Associ-
alton and fill the place OF the Melropolitans,
who are shout to retire from the champion
ship race" This paper also says that Mr..
Schwabacher promptly declined the invita-
ton. saying that he had had enough of the
American Association. A Sentinel reporter
called upon Mr.. Schwabacher last night and
questioned him relative TO the statement
he said that he had received no sucn Cis-
patch. and did not know where the paper in
which the article WIS published got its infor-
nation. The indianapolis Club had never
at any time since IL was dropped been in
yised into the American Association, and
would not join under any Circumstances. 1t
is well satisfied with the Western LEAGUE.
When the Metropolitans are dropped, and
there Is no doubt but that they will be, the
American Association will take in the Ma
tioDals, of Washington, as stated elsewhere
in this column. The American Association
is not composed of what are commonly
called chumps, therefore 1t Is not likely that
this organization will ever be comprised of
i've Western and three Eastern clubs. We're
they on the eve OF dropping out Western
club, indianapolis would stand a good
chance OF receiving an invitation, bat this
is not likely TO happen during the present
season. and that fact does not greatly disturb
the high joints OF the local organization
either.
