pleted its labors for the present yesterday the
most important question as to what cities will
constitute next years circuit still remains un-
decided.
committee consisting Of Barnia Of Phila-
delphia, Schmelz of Columbus and Won der Abe
OF St. Louis was appointed. with power to in-
vestigate the feasibility of a ten or twelve-club
circuit This committee will make its report
In about ten days at the call of Chairman
barnie. Whether the circuit will consist Of
eight, ten or twelve cities is o matter Of much
conjecture, but there is little doubt that an
eight-club organization is what the association
wants. There is possibility of the season
being begun with ten or twelve clubs, and the
weak ones dropping out as the season pro-
terday. however. Both Columbus and Milwau-
kee, who were represented as among the uncer-
IAN ones, were given places on important COM
mlttees, while Louisville, another doubtful
city, produces the associaticE's chief officer.
