ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.I
CLEVELAND, O., April president
Frank Robson returned from the scene OF
war-New York City-Sunday night after
taking an active part in the deal by which
the National League Circuit was reduced to
eight clubs and at once entered upon the
work of extending his new cable road out
toward the League ball grounds. Tuesday
morning he read in his newspaper that the
brotherhood contemplated changing its
schedule so as to avoid conflicting dates in
the cities of the League circuit. In the
afternoon he met reporter who asked him
whether the League would play its present
schedule through, no matter what happened.
"wen, hardly" was the somewhat astonish-
ing reply
"wEat do you mean by that?' asked the
newspaper man.
Robson RATIFIED.
sSimply this" replied Mr.. Robson. 'Imay
saw that if the Brotherhood League changes its
schedule tomorrow at New York, the National
League will call special meeting and change
its schedule again to meet every date possible
of the Brotherhood. All during the winter the
Brotherhood has howled for war. IL has de-
clared thar it has all the players on earth, that
the League isn't in 1t, that it is the
Brotherhood that will get all the
patronage and now, at the last
moment, as the dawning of the season actually
begins TO stare the new organization in the
face, il whispers another change of schedule
and wants to get away from us. We do not
mean that it shall get away. At Pittsburg
when the Brotherhood League met TO form
schedule it did not do so. On the contrary 1t
formed an outline and subsequently gave that
to the League at the Cleveland meeting. For
what reason. l confess. do not know. The
League, at its Cleveland meeting. was COM
PEELED to give out a ten-club schedule.
IT COULDN'T MOVE BRUSH
alt couldn't induce MIR. Brush to believe that
it was polite for him to retire, and adjourned
in hopes, that was ALL When the League
schedule was revised at the New York meet
ing, it was simply a condensation of the
ten club schedule. 1t did not depart in the
least from the outlines of the schedule origin

and l think expected 1t. Now, i may say that
if the Brotherhood schedule is changed
again. if they do not care to meet us, we will
make il imperative that they shall 1t was left
with me at New York if such course was
adopted by the Brotherhood, to request spe-
cial meeting to meet that organization on its
own grounds. As far as 1 am concerned, shall
certainly do so. The Brotherhood has be-
seeched war all the winter; has blown its
trumpets and sounded its big drum. We are
going to blow few now. and if the Brother
hood changes % times. the League will do like
wise. We are neither ashamed nor afraid to
meet any base ball opponent on the field"
ABOUT THE DEAL.
"Can you tell THE DISPATCH anything about
that indianapolis deal?''
81 don't know as 1 know anything new
about it,
what was the consideration paid?"
Just two men know that, and that is all that
will be known for awhile"
How came the report of the consolidation
of Cleveland and Pittsburc to be publishedg'
indirectly. was the cause of il. intimated
that there might be such consolidation in or
der to throw people off the track of the Indian
apolis matter. upon which 1 was working. l |
didn't mean that it should spread quite as far
as it did, and for that reason l owe Pttsburg |
an apology, but" continued Mr.. Robson, |
with smile, Il have already made amends to |
Mr.. Ninlick. and guess that is all right"
when did you see Mr.. Brush?''
no BROTHERHOOD IN HIS.
AT Chicago 1t was said, you know, that Mr.
Brush went up there to talk with the Brother
hood, relative to gaining admission to that or
eanization. can certify that be never said a
word about Brotherhood that is, joining the
Brotherhood while in the city. He die talk
good League news. though
Then it is absolutely correct that the League
will now meet the Brotherhood schedule, no
matter what changes it may make?"
That is our position exactly" reiterated Mr. |
Robson LAS one member of our club has said: |
If we must die let US die young and fighting by
our colors to the last Wehave always tried to |
give the public good, honest baseball; we shall
always continue to do so. If we don't we
ought to die, and if the public does not appre-
ciate or care for our organization then we must |
take the consequences. In the meantime we |
do not propose to let people forget that we are
on earth. think there is nothing objection
able in that
