TEMPLE CUP IN DOUBT.
League Magnates to Discuss Ques-
ton of Continuing 1t.

Chicago, Nov. 13.-Mattcrs were quiet
about the Auditorium this morning after
the excitement and mystery OF yesterday.
The members of the victorious Brush fac
ton were in a happy, satisfied mood, and
expressed themselves as pleased with the
progress Of the meeting thus far.
Today's meeting will take up the ques-
ton of continuing the Temple Cup series,
and will probably discuss the propriety Of
abolishing the souvenir ticket nuisances.
TIL ese tickets have heretofore been issued to
special friends of the magnates. and. being
good at any game, have been in great de-
mand by members OF the theatrical pro-
fession and travelling men.

The only deal that has been put through
today is the sale Of Jack Crooks, of the st.
Louis Browns, to Columbus.
