tomorrow where many interesting questions pertaining TO
the welfare of baseball will come up Tor seusioh' Inc
club owners naturally not satisfied WIN 'he poor
showing Of their tweyecub circuit ard double champion
ship idea and there will be lively discussions before
the members 20 10 their homes. The ex-Asso,l| on
clubs Undoubtedly white elephants on the hahd OF the
League but sensible equitable suggestion mas been
made by which Me old order of affairs can be restored
Few deny that the restoration Of the League 70 eight
club, and the reorganization OF the American ISOLATION
would do good to baseball at large sth it Is doubtful
II the four clubs will to such
scheme. They desire remain in the League, and -
an agreement signed binding together the twelve
clubs undesirable members cannot well be dropped
Their franchises might be purchased but the League Is
hardly q position present 20 take up further heavy
financial burdens. The present motherhood and Asss'
citation loads heavy enough.
Many suggestions have been offered the League as
ways present dnculae and the one suggested
by ciub-owner the writer the other day may prove
feasible The plan will certainly be discussed at the
coming conference 1t Is suggested that the four un
desirable clubs be induced 70 retire, the League
circuit b. increased TO four more clubs which would
make q solid organization OF sixteen clubs, and would
the baseball Of the country. OF course, sixteen
clubs would BE- than twelve but the
idea Is have the teams In
With these sixteen clubs an f. tern and western
could bc formed each orslniz1ton having eight
clubs and while they would WORK unlpr one agreement
they would conflict In Az the close OF the season
in each section could play together for The
worlds championship IL b, also upsested that series
games arranged between the East and West, each
making only trip the Western teams coming
a vt-ks' say in July and the Eastern
going West for similar period, in september
These games would he merely exhibition matches Teans
could try players IN such seris without inurina
their championship prospects
Eastern League would be- popular in ths section fof

Is handled present the oidime champions only
occasionally tho outpourng OF multitude. IL any
objection 10 made u the plan 1t will unquesuonaby come
from the West. The scheme would great deal Of
money travelling expenses and 1t would do with
