MANps-DECLARING THAT THEY WILL

NOT BE GRANTED.
The second day Of the baseball convention found the
various delegates early 1t their post But change
had over the seone and tho prospects Of early
settlement Of the dh net look bright as they did
on Monday The Brotherhood took m unexpected
hand In the proceedings and demanded IN equal snare
In the settlement of the battle that they had led year
ago In the insgson OF the This unlocked for as
SAINT from the players Of created commotion
ard baseball Yesterday became more polite and dlpo-
matte.
As the theatres besan to empty plessure-seeker
into Broadway last night the baseball men hurried
around disconsoately Is they were on "fsnse
grounds. The prospects Of an early settlement Oh tne
war looked decidedly bad, and tho prebeonfties are
that even II conference IL held to-day nothing VIII

unit In saving that they will have no conference In
which their old players take part The hiayerS

only slight resemblance the famous baseball gather
inGs Of past years. Then the corridors were crowded
with players and managers. Yesterday the crowd WIS
small and everything baseball politics. The game
itself was forgotten In the scramble for spos which mas
brought baseball down to It's present low eoo' lhe
PLAYERS played their trump card, demanding recog'
milton. and the capitalists after spssmotic gasp
caved, and granted their workmen what they TO-
auested Just how the National League will receive
this change of base can be better told after todavs
meeting Of the conference committees. The League a.
a whole is opposed any deal directly with the play
ers and there is chance that all negotiations for
peace between the fighting factions may be dropped
for the present. 1t the kckers' inning yester-
day and they played their little game O It's null
limit They were happy and confident last night, and
even boosted that peace out OF the question and
that the war would be carried next year on the same
disastrous lines as the season just passed
