The Base Geti Season MISUNDERSTANDING
toms Job Lots Beaten Twice.
The base ball nagnates in New York vester-
day went into session shortly after IL o'clock.
Mex Young called the meeting to order and
the subject of the association notes was q,
once taken up. The question of the SIC. 900
shortage on the note due on November / was
discussed pro and con for an hour and half.
II seemed 20 be the general opinion Of the
meeting that I, would be advisable toask for an
extensioD Of time on the note.
According to well-posted man only two
clubs will finish the season ahead financially
Cleveland and rittsburg. Every other club
has los; money. The attendance at the games
has been so POOR that the clubs have been q; a
loss what to do. The New York club owes its
players three months salaries. J. W. Spalding
said that the money could be paid when 'the
stockholders Of the club would be assessed. +.
Il. Tslcctts return from Europe is anxioubly
awaited ty the local directors
At 100 the magnates became hungry ard ad-
journed for an hour for dinner. They reas-
sembled az pm.
The secretary was authorized to take steps to
secure the renewal OF the notes owned By the
organization. In other words. nobody was
willing to put up the money, and it was the
sentiment OF the members that it be raised
the holders OF the notes refuse to extend the
time beyond November ] the league will be
placed In rather peculiar position. The mag
mates viii either have 20 60 down in their
pockets or shut up shop.
Tho Bostons and Clevelands will play of the
worlds series, beginning probably October II
or Is The games will be played in the two
cities exclusively. The Boston people fought
against this. but upon q vote taken 1t was
unanimously decfded that the series should be
played, and the arranging Of details was re-
I'rred to the league directors.
|; wa> decided that the contract season for
sS should be from April TO September 80 and
The championship games should not exceed 1872
during the season. and that the time and place
and other details OF holding them should be de-
cided b. the president OF the National League
and the board of directors. The annual meet
ing of the organization win be held at the
Richaeu in Chicago November l6
IL. view Of so much gossip on the subject a
resolution adopted expressing it the
sense OF the meeting that change in the
Membership of the leagne advisable and
none would be made unless by a voluntary with
drawal of some OF the clubs.
TWO MORE GAMES LOST.
Not so many of Mr.. Wagner bargain counter
selections took part in Yesterdays games in

perimental team and hardly to be expected to

ing second. Richardson has, apparently. be-
come disgusted, for he did not play. Meekin
pitched in the first game and kiiien in the
second. Mcclure caught in both. The man
agement has frittered away whatever chance
;hc team once had of getting out of last place.
New York won the first BY to and the second
