IS II A CRISIS FOR TIE CLUB?
NEw.YORK BASEBALL AFFAIRS IN AN uNsATIS
FACTORY CONDITION.

Those interested in baseball are looking forward the
speciil meeting OF the New-York cub jersey CITY
January with unusual interest Never before IN
the history OF baseball has the loo al club been such
peculiar position. Not only has nothing been done
about making arrangements for but the affairs
OF the last have been adjusted. The statement
that John Il. Day had formally resigned the presidency
OF the cub IN writing IS not true As explained in The
Tribune, Mr.. Day said that he willing 10 resign, pro-
viGing f. l.. Talcot: or Colonel J.. y. McAipm would
accept the Office. Mr. Day does not wish q continue
in the Office and there Likelihood of his doing So
The chances that Mr. Day may dispose OF his
holdings in the club.
The cut made a cats.paw by the League last
will be INDUCED in again next season. Nj. Day Is
blamed In quarters for the mistakes OF the last two
seasons. Every follower OF baseball knows that the
blame does belong there.
When az recent meeting IL was decided 10 Issue
$4,000 in bonds TO pay of pressing Obligations some
thought that all trouble passed such does not APP
pear to be Messrs Talcott and McAlpn have
declined presidency OF the cub and IL seems to be-
uncertain just who will be the 'one.man power The
transfer Of Chicago stock caused rumor yesterday tina;
a. G Spading A. c. Arson would be at the heai o
the local next Some Of the local stock
holders deny this, while others do to deny or
confirm anything.
F. a. Abel Is another stakeholder who Is not salts
Fed with the manner in which the affairs OF the New
YORK club have been conducted. Mr. Abel does not
care for publicity and naturally will not say much the
garhed reports appeIed after tie recent meeting
have convinced him that in future all baseball. meetings
should be public For" he said yesterday, "basebal
is an honest sport and have nothing TO conceal from
the public. the coming meeting shall make an
effort TO have reporters admitted"
