Joint Conference Action.
The general plan for consolidation of
the two organizations is now practically
manifest. The joint conference of the
two peace committees was held tonight.
The association peace committee met at
o'clock with the called meeting of the
association delegates. President Phelps
presiding. The committee recon-
mended the adoption of the twelve
club-ieague plan. After the adoption
of this recommendation the association
adjourned. The conference committee
then arranged to meet separately the
clubs that have been drOpped-MilWau
kee and Columbus-and those absorbed
Boston. Chicago and Philadelphia-and
explain the plan Of their disposition.
On the surface there is no apparent
kick from any of the clubs except Chi
cagO. COlum bus was the first club
called in for the arrangement of a settle
ment. 1t is understood her price for
her franchise is $4,000. The repre-
sentatives remained in consultation
until 10 O'Clock, when Chicago was
called.
The league has not held a session to-
night. but has practically arranged all

organizations will be called some time

The Chicago Clubs.
The Chicago trouble seems to have been
exaggerated by reports, and the fact is
said to be that it was simply a dispute
over the possession Of certain players
who we're reserved by Chicago. Won
der Abe has an option on the Columbus
club. He saws so. ana the Columbus
officials say so. Boston absorption is
in such shape that the papers can be
made out any moment. and the aSSO-
citation cinb turned over TO the league.
With the settlement of the Philadelphia
differences. another strong point Is
gained. Milwaukee will receive back
the money she invested in the aSSOcia-
ton. from $1,000 to $4,000. All the
other clubs become members of the new
league. and the Chicago clubs are thus
forced to settle the dispute with each
other. One must buy and the other
sell, and there is little doubt that the
association club Will be glad to sell.
Thus the total cost of forming the new
league will be between 500. 900 and
$50, 900. This will be the price OF
peace"
In the event of the success of the
amaigamatiOn it is probable that new
league, centrally located. and SubOrdi-
nate to the new organization, Will be
formed here. Fred Pfefer says that d
new club is formed and that it will be a
strong organization. 1t is proposed TO
include indianapolis, Columbus. Mil
waukee, Detroit. Buffalo and other
cities. This is. of course. contingent
upon the result of the peace" meeting.
The committees are engaged in max
ing up q new constitution for the con-
solidated league. and Will work out all
the details. This will be presented to
separate meetings Of the two bodies as
soon as finished, and il ratified by them
