NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-The National
league base ball magnates held pow
WOW at the Fifth Avenue hotel today.
Their deliberations were secret. Ac-
cOrding to the most reliable information
available. the conference was for the
purpose of debating the best ways
and means of making good a
$4,000 shortage in the notes given
at Indianapolis last year for the
purchase Of the Milwaukee, Chicago,
Boston, Athletic and Columbus associa-
ton clubs. The amounts 10 be paid
these clubs was something like 1892. 0C0.
and it can be readily imagined what a
drain it has been upon the league clubs
TO make good the notes. Each club has
been assessed a certain percentage,
which was put into general sinking
fund. The patronage has not been Suf-
ncient To meet the obligations, and
hence the call for the meeting.
Of course other subjects were dis
cussed, but regarding this part of the
proceedings the magnateS were like
CLANS.
The Delegates Present
were President Nick Young. John B.
Day and Walter Spaulding, of the New
! DIRK club; Won der Abe, of st.
Louis: Won der Horst, of Balti-
more; +. A Abel and c. H.
Byrne, of Brooklyn; Jim Hart.
of Chicago; Al Reach and John c.
Rogers, of Philadelphia; Brown, OF
PittSburg: Director DreXler, of Louis
vile; Frank Elliott, of Washington;
john L. Brush. of Cincinnati, and Frank
De II. Robson, of Cleveland.

order shortly after u o'clock, and the
subject Of the association notes was at
once taken up. The financial ac-
counts of the various clubs was
gone over at length. They showed
somewhat peculiar state OF affairs 1t
was found that seven of the twelve
clubs had made more money than last
season, but that they were worse off
financially Oh account of the drainage
Cccasioned by the sinking fund. The
clubs which have not drawn we'll during
The season were New York, Cincinnati,
Louisville, Chicago and Washington.
The question of the $4,000 shortage Oh
the note due in November was dis
cusSed pro and con for all hour and
half
At 30 p. NJ, without coming to any
definite agreement on the matter. the
meeting adjourned for lunch. At $50
the magnates again went into session.
They were buried in deep consideration
of
The -TWelye-GIuh League.
AT 7:30 p. m. the magnates became
hungry and adjourned for an hour for
dinner. As they resumed tneir session
President Young said he would have
nothing for the public until midnight.
When the result of the meeting was an
n0unced it read as follows:
The secretary was authorized to take
steps to secure the renewal of the notes
given by the organization. 1t was de-
cided that the contract season for 1898
should be from April 10 Sept. so, and
that the championship games should not
exceed 1874 during the season and that
the time and place and other details of
holding should be decided by the
president Of the National league
and the board OF directors.
The annual meeting of the organiza-
ton would be held at the Richelieu
hotel in Chicago, Nov. 16 In view of
so much gossip on the subject, a resolu-
ton was adopted expressing it as the
sense OF the meeting that no change in
the membership of the league was adj
visable and none would be made unless
by voluntary withdrawal of some OF
the clubs.
One thing of Importance was decided
at tonight's session. The Bostons and
CleYelands will play off the world
series, beginning probably Oct. II or Is.
The games will be played in the two
cities exclusively. The Boston people.
fought against this, but upon vote
taken 1t was unanimously decided that
the series should be played, and the
arranging of details was referred to the
league directors.
