rsrFcIkL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.l 70
ISDIANAPoLTS, Dec 1.-THE baseball
situation has been in a tangled condition
all day long. Meetings were announced at
various hours, but when the time came
somebody or somebodies had not shown up
and further postponements were made.
This afternoon there was but one important
man who was not here, and he is President
y. Z. Young, of the League. The noon
trains brought A. H. Soden and w.
II. Conant, of the Boston League
club, c. A. Prince, of the Association
club of the City of Culture; II. r. Wonder
horst. of Baltimore: John b. Day and John
W. Spalding of New York: J. r. Foster, of
Cleveland; President Temple, of Pittsburs,
and r. X. Scandrett, of the same place. All
ot these were at once assigned to seats in
the dining room of the Bates House, and
after their dinners were made the subjects
of whispered examinations in the obscure
corners of the corridors
The ssociation Magnates.
Manager 'Billie" Barnie, of the Ath-
letics, also arrived. Everything was made
ready for the two meetings, and shortly be-
q
in the clubroom of the Bates House.
The League meeting was not to be held
until after the arrival of President Young,
and he was not expected until later. to-
Cether with President Scanlan, of Wash
lngton The Association meeting did moth
ing beyond appointing a committee, COIN
posed of Nonderhorst, Won der Abe and
Elliott, who were instructed to attend the
OF = ~ nd find
what sort of a proposition the League had
10 make and then report at another meeting
of the Association at o'clock, but 8, and
4 O'Clock passed and there had been no
League meeting, and now at late hour the
League has got together. There NAV be an
Association meeting later in the night but
prominent members think that nothing will
be done until tomorrow. The Chicago del
egates are fighting with all their strength
the 12-club league scheme, but did no, op-
pose the appointing of committee to see
what the League had to offer
Clubs Well Represented.
The Columbus, O., and the Chicago Asso-
citation clubs are we'll represented here.
President Williams is here with - stock
holders and directors of the Windy CITY
venture, including Sam Morton and Fred
Pfefer President Hart, of the Chicago
League club came with them, but
did not talk compromise The Column
Gus representatives are President
Born and A. B. Cohen. This club,
it is understood doesn'- care whether
school keeps or not. 1t is willing to 90
ahead and become a par of the 12-club
league and furnish good article of ball at
the old stand, or it is willing to give up its
franchise and be reimbursed without profit.
In this respect the Columbus heads differ
from those of the Chicago Associ-
alton directory, who want big money for
their franchise, including the prospective
profits of Eext season. Columbus is after
the bird in the hand and Chicago is after
the two in the bush.
An All Night Affair.
Ihe league continues in session and it
looks as if it would probably remain SO all
night. They are discussing report made
by Brush, Robinson and Byrne, the result
of the meeting held recently at st. Louis
at which certain promises were
made TO the Association. The report en-
braces the 12-club scheme ana the
nroper treatment and paw of engaged
PLAYERS. The indications are that the re-
port will be finally adopted or at least its
salient features The result will be SUBJ
mitted to the Association tomorrow.
