Nick Young looked cool and collected rs he
sat In the Fifth Avenue Hotel yesterday morn
ing talking with Manager Powers. and when
he was asked By q Sun reporter what the
special Meeting ofthe League had been called
for no answered. with great composure that he
really did not know. "All do know" said
Mr.. Young. is that tho coll for tho meeting
was signed by six clubs and I callcdit in dcf-
erence to their request" Whereupon Mr..
Young resumed his pleasant task OF looking
cool and comfortable. In response to queries.
Won der Horst OF Baltimore. Ruckstuhl OF
Louisville. Wagner VI Washington. and Won der
Abe Of St Louis oil emphatically denied that
thor had signed the call. and each and all in
sisted that while they wero at present laboring
under stress OF hard luck. still they were not
asking for help At the same time. II the
teams which were carrying over thirteen
or fourteen men were disposed to turn loose
their surplus players, why they. the weaker
club managers. could fnd places for them.
