conversation. bursts OF laughter. mysterious
conferences. earnest expostulaton, and heat.
ed augmentation. It was the annual meet.

.portant bearing on the national sport
Very early In the day the men who try to pny
baseball salaries began to flock into tho mar
bic halls Of the hotel. and By noon the excite
ment ran high. Everybody asked somebody
else how the row In the baseball business
would end and nobody could Give def
inite answer. It was pretty generally set
down as fact that there would be no COM
promise unless the Association gets down on
fits knees and boys for It On the other hand.
the League men still have the twelve-club
plan steadily before them, and. II possible. will
push It to successful issue.

The Board OF Directors thus condensed

Nouble games could not have been made except with
The OF the New York Club either before
