BASEBALL MAGNATES
Elect Officers and Transact Much important
Busness-Sunday Ball Advocates Car
ry Their Point

New York, Nov. 14.-The annual fall
meeting of the National Baseball league
was concluded tonight at the Fifth Ave-
nue. hotel. after a session, which, with
the intermissions, lasted from IL till p
m. All the delegates were In attend
ance, and with one or two exceptions the
meeting was very harmonious.
resident John T. Brush OF Cincinnati
and President Andrew Freedman of New
York fired some hot shots at one another
during the day over the exchange of
Doyle of New York for Gleason of Bal
timore. Brush thought he had an option
on Doyle in exchange for Latham.
The most important move taken by the
league was the abolition of the fine sys-
tenn. For the future offending players
will be expelled from the game after one
warning in trivial cases and without
notice in glaring offenses. The umpires
Hurst, Emsle and Keefe, gave evidence
before the meeting as to their trea tment
by objecting players on last and previous
seasons.
By the unanimous vote of the league
the secretary was directed to accept the
Harry Wright relics and to have a list
of the same drawn up and presented at
the next spring meeting.
A committee consisting of Messrs.
Brush of Cincinnati,o Hart OF Chicago
and Rogers of Philadelphia was appoint
ed to arrange for day in the spring to
be called Harry Wright day" and to be
uniformly set apart in all the cities of
the league, on which a game Is to be play
ed and the proceeds thereof to be devoted
to the erection of a monument to the vet
eran umpire. A long and highly compli-
mentary eulogium to the deceased was
inserted on the minutes and the secretary
was ordered to have copy enrolled and
framed and to present the same to the
family of the late chief umpire.
The double umpire question went over
to the spring meeting. The president and
secretary, Nick Young, was elected last
year for term of three years The ma
tional board was increased by the election
of another member, Johu T. Brush, while
Messrs Byrne of Brooklyn, President
Nick Young and Soden of Boston were re-
elected.
The board of directors was elected as
follows:
Won der Horst, Baltimore; Soden, Bos-
ton; Wagner, Washington; Hart, Chi
cago; Stuckey, Louisville and Kerr Pitts
burg.
The board as constituted has three
delegates from the east and three from
the west
The playing rules committee was ap-
pointed by the president, and is made up
of President Reach of Philadelphia, Chris
Won der Abe of st. Louis and President
Hanlon of Baltimore.
With regard to the Sunday ball ques-
tion the advocates of playing on the
Sabbath won their end, and Sunday ball
will be played in the west. The president
will direct the schedule committee to ar
range a schedule for the coming season.
SO far as practicable. so that the club
DESTROYS of playing ball on Sunday shall
be scheduled for the first day of the week
in order not to conflict with clubs not
playing on Sundays. The league then
adjourned until February "a 1885,

THE LEVEE TROUBLES ENDED
After a long Fight the New Orleans Steve
dores and Cotton Screwmen Reach ~
an Agreement.

New Orleans, Nov. 14.-The labor
troubles affecting the ship traffic of this
port may be considered as finally ended.
After about a years turmoil the screw
mems association have decided to allow
members of the association to work for
the stevedores.
1t will be remembered that soon after
the riots on the levee last spring, which
resulted in q split between the screw
men and the stevedores. the screwmen
organized an association of it's own for
the purpose of loading and unloading
ships. and at the same time prohibited
any of it's members from receiving en-
ployment from the stevedores. The
screwmen's company have been unable
to give work to all the screwmen and 10
consequence lage number of them were
forced to remain idle or seek employment
in other lines of industry. The screwmen
are skilled laborers and the decision they
have at last made gives general satisfac-
ton.
All will now be able to go to work at
their trade and at the same time end a
condition of affairs which was harmful
to labor and shipping interest
