SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE llSP PATCH-l
INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 16.-It was nearly
. o'clock this morning when the League ad-
iourned. The meeting had to contend with
intense dissension. which was brought about
hy the Chicago and Philadelphia League
clubs The committee which devised the
detail. of The compromise plan-RrGsh,
f5vrne and Robinson-were kept busy eN-
planning the almost infinite details of the
plan and defining its advantages. Ii is
said that an estimate of the total expenses
10 be incurred bv the League rs an organi-
7ation was presented. II was based upon
cptions and agreed terms between different
Association clubs and the conference COM
Iittees-that is. the seif-constituted con-
ference committees, now given official
authority by both organizatiOns-and the
total is reported by a member Of the League
10 be in the neIghborhood of s 100000. The
snare of this great expense which the Chi
caco and Philadelphia League clubs must
bear is said to have been the bone Of con-
1ention.
why Chicago Kicked.
The Chicago club kicked because ii claims
that it was getting an unjust proportion,
and the Philadelphia representatives.,
Eeach and Rogers, objected to the terms
which were made the basis of settleme1y
with The WagnerS for the Athletic clab
Both these organizations claim that their
share is proportionately too exorbtant, and
with that state Of affairs the session ad-
iourned until this morning at IL o'clock.
President Jim Hart, of the Chicago club.
SAYS that 10 such matter was discussed as is
H. 4 OBJ.
Day, Bvrne and Young refused to confirm
ar ,Ieny the truth of the alleged difference.
At II O'Clock to-day Presidcn3 Young came
down stairs aud called all the League rep
resentatives TO the club room and the body
reconvened. II was given out that the
differences between Reach and Rogers and
the Wagner brothers oVe: the Philadelphia
absorption were compromised privately,
end tha@ that source of contention was re-
moved. II was also given out that the
Chicago trouble had been amicabiy settled
The Clubs All Fixed.
1t Is evident that every Association club
is fixed except The ChicagD Association
Club Won der Abe has an option on the
Columbus club. He says so and the Colr.:-
bus officials say 30. Boston. ABSORPTION
IS in such shape that the papers can he mad
out any moment and the Association club
turned over to the League. With the settle
men: of the Philadelphia differences
another strong point is gained. Milwaukee
will receive back the money she invested
in the Association-from 5000 to $4,000. All
rh" other clubs become members of the new
League, and the Chicago cluos arc thus
forced 10 settle the dispute with each other
one must buy and the other sell, and there
il little doubt tnat the Association club will
be glad to sell. Thus the total cost of torn
ing the new League will be between Sl01000
and sl50,o00. That will be the price of
peace" 1t was o'clock before the League
adjourned, and then recess of only an
hour was taken. President Young said that
the meeting had discussed the terms of
peace throughout both sessions and that the
Job was now completed.
What President Young Says.
We have just given this proposition to
+he committee" said he, ''and it has gone
into joint session with the committee from
the Association"
is it true that there were differences con
cer-s!ng Philadelphia and Chicago that re-
tarGSd the work here?'
81 think those differences have been salts
iace-Iily adjusted The joint committee
viii agree upon a plan which will be re-
ported to separate meetings of both organ
Hations. If ratified by both it only remains
for joint meeting to perfect the consolida-
tion.
1t is understood that the committee was
given considerable latitude in accomplish
Ing the will of the League, and being com
posed of the best diplomats i'll the organiZa-'
tion, it was considered reasonable to expect
satisfactory result. The only sour-looking
men at the announcement at the meeting or
thr committee were the Chicago people.
Still they claim that the con nsolidation is not
Yet assured.
1t Is a New Leacus.
The Association Conference Committee
' on der Abe. Won Der Horst and Elliott
recommended the l2-club plan to tho Associ-
alton tonight. This was accented id- |
journmert was then had. The Conference |
Committee are now, at IL o'clock, giving |
hearing to the clubs that were dropped, viz: |
Chicago Columbus and Milwaukee. These
clubs, it is understood, will propose their |
prices and terms of settlement When this |
i completed then the Association and 1
League Conference committees will meet
probably tomorrow; the Association com
