1t IL Claimed That All the Conflicting In
;erests Have Been Satisfied.
ISDIASAPoLIs, Dec. 16.-The league recon-
vened at IL clock a. the club rooms at the
Bates House. 1t is reported that tine differ
ences between Reach and Rogers and the Wag-
ners of Philadelphia have been set
tied between them privately and that the
Chicago differences, which have been exag-
Serated. are patched mp and that the league 10
nearly ready to send its offer to the association
committee.
The meetings of the association and league
last night determined one point-that the
association people are willing to consider any
reasonable Offer that the league managers
will make. This was evidenced by the APP
pointment of a committee composed of Won
der Abe, Vonderhorst and L. s. Elliot
These comprise conference Committee
for the preliminary work Of the meeting and
were instructed to wait upon the league at its
meeting and ascertain Just what sort Of a prop
osition the league would make. With this step
the association halted. The arrival of Presi-
dent Young of the league put the league Off
cisls on a working basis and at O'Clock they
got together in the club room Of the Bates
House.
The association was received and negotia-
tons with il we're placed in the hands of a
committee composed Of the very men who
worked the Peace scheme-Brush
Byrne and Robinson. This indicated
the cut and dried character Of the affair,
so far as the overtures are concerned. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether the association clubs
will act as unitedly in accepting the THE
compromise" terms In seeking a settlement.
At noon the magnates were in session.
-HE LEAGUE MEETING A STORMY ONE.
The session of the league officials last night
was a long one and resulted in nothing tangi-
BILE. According to the rumor the meeting
had to contend with intense dis
sension, which was brought about
by the Chicago and Philadelphia League
clubs. The committee which devised the de-
tails of the compromise plan-Brush, Byrne
and Robinson-was kept busy explaining the
almost infinite "details OF the plan and defining
its advantages
1t is said that an estimate Of the total ex-
penses to be incurred by the league
ganization WAS presented. 1t was based upon
options and agreed to terms between diff
ferenl association clubs and the conference
committees, that is, the self-constituted con-
ference committees now given official authori-
tics by both organizations, and the total is re-
ported by a member of the league to be in the
neighborhood of 800, 600.
This was afterward denied by another league
Official who said such matters had come mp.
But to return the share OF this great expense
which the Chicago and Philadelphia
league clubs must bear is said to
have been the bone of contention. The Chi
cago club objected because it claimed that it
wag getting an unjust proportion. and the
Philadelphia representatives, Reach and
Rogers. objected to the terms which
were made the basis of settlement
with the Wagners for the Athletic club. Both
these organizations claim that their share is
proportionately too exorbitant, and with that
state OF affairs the session adjourned until IL
O'Clock this morning.
President Jim Hart Of the Chicago club says
that no such matter was discussed Us is set out
by the league men. Presidents Day, Byrne
aud Young refused 70 affirm or deny the truth
| of the alleged difference
ANOTHER LEAGUE.
In the event OF the amalgana.ion it is prob
able that new league, centrally located, will
| be formed here. Fred Pfeffer says that
a nucleus is already formed, and that
| it will be strong organization.
| 1t is proposed to include Indianapolis. Column
| bus. Milwaukee, Detroit, Buffalo aud other
| cities. This is. of course, contingent upon the
result CT the peace meeting"
