CLEVELAND, o., March 10.-At 10
o'clock this morning John Stricken and
Frank Brunell were the only brother
hood base ball delegates who were Wis
ibIe in a Weddell house lobby, and,
there having been no regular session
of the meeting called for, everything
was very quiet. Fred Prefer and John
Addison, of Chicago, and j. Earl Wag-
ner. Of Philadelphia, arrived this morn
ing, but all kept close to their rooms,
and even Al Johnson. when he made
his appearance shortly after 10 O'Clock,
had suddenly become a man OF few
words. The brotherhood schedule com
mittee met in parlor b at the Weddell
house in the afternoon, and made rev
changes in the table of dates, after
which an adjournment until tomorrow
was taken. OF the work done by the
committee, Secretary Brunell said:
''We made no material changes. After
fOruing the schedule at Pittsburg l
sent letters out to all the different clubs
asking if they were satisfied, and ii not,
what objections they had to offer.
SOME FAULT WAS FOUND
with the committees work, and to-day
we took up the complaints in alphabet
cal order, and did what we could to sat
isfy everybody. We fixed ii so that
Chicago will have another Saturday or
two in Boston and New York, but aside
from this no important changes were
made. The schedule as whole re-
mains practically the same as it was"
"What do Won think of DetrOit's prop
Osition to join the Dr0therh0od?,
"Ihat was a mere bluff at the league.
We could not think for a moment
of taking in Detroit. Why. Fred
Stearns has been known for the past
five years as the greatest living bar
terer in base bail flesh and blood, and
we would be going right back on our
principles if we were to think for
minute of having anything to do with
him. Besides all this, Detroit is no ball
town. They won the International
league championship up there last sea-
son and lost $4,000 in spite of it. We
don't want any such town in the broth
erhOod." John Ward is not likely to
attend the present meeting. Brunell,
when questioned concerning the broth
erhOod presidents absence, said: Ward
is with his club in the South, aud
don't think it will be possible for him to
attend. You see, he has a lot Of players
there who have never belonged to the
same club and it is necessary for him to
get them nodded into some sort Of team
uniformity, OF he'll not stand any show
at all in the race. We expect to get our
schedule all ready to-day, so that the
regular meeting can adopt it tomorrow
without any discussion. Everything
WILL GO OFF SMOOTHLY
here. and the convention will not last
more than a day or two at most. How
is the brotherhood? Why! can't you
see? Way up; seven stories, with a
mansard ROOF. The people are with us,
and we're bound to win" "Buck"
Ewing, Dan Brouthers, "Deacon"
James White and Secretary Julian
B. Hart, of the Boston club,
filed into the WeddeIl house in
the order named this afternoon. Buck
W re broad smile, and said to Brunell
when they met: "Well, | scared You
fellows pretty bally, anyhow" "Buck"
said everything looked lovely in New
York, with the brotherhood goose hang
ing away up out of reach. White said
he thought things were looking quite
favorable at Buffalo, but he was not
carried away with enthusiasm. When
asked what kind of a team he and Rove
would have he said: Most people
think it won't amount to much, but we
are pretty we'll satisfied with it. We
expect to fool some people next sum-
