NOT IN A MERRY MOOD.
The League Club Owners Have Trou-
bles to Settle.

Baltimore, Feb. 24-National baseball
managers from all over the country began
to arrive in this city today to attend the
spring meeting OF the League, which will
begin tomorrow and probably continue
until Friday night or Saturday. There
will be no absentces among the important
baseball men when the meeting is called 10
order tomorrow.
For several weeks there has been an
unusually large war cloud hanging over
baseball maenates, and if there is not an
explosion and a battle royal before the
meeting adJourns many well-informee per
sons will be disappointed.
In addition To the many well-known diff
ferenccs between the little seven and
big five" another cause for trouble ap-
peared today. when it was learned that an
effort would be made to Increase the mem
bership OF the national board. The sug-
gestion seems innocent enough. but shouldit
be attempted. as il is very reliably stated
that it will be. lining up of forces will
occur that will severely test the strength
OF the combinations.
The national board is a powerful one
in baseball affairs; in fact, it welded
almost despotic power previous to the
league meeting in Chicago last fell. Be
fore that the league itself could not re-
view the action of the board, which was
final. This was changed. so that the league
NAV now override the board If it sees fit.
IL is still powerful, however, and the
Brush faction has CONTROL as the boa rd
is composed of John t Brush and his
friend, c. H Byrne of Brooklyn, A. II.
soden OF Boston "a member OF the big
Five'o and President Young as presi-
dent andsecretary. Freedman of New York
attempted in Chicago to be elected on the
board and to prevent Brush from being
reelected, and in both of these efforts
be failed, but Brush barely escaped de
feat ny transferring his Indianapolis stock
and allowing the power of the board to
be curtailed.
Failing to ouSt Brush, 1t is believed that
Freedman will attempt at tomorrow S
meeting to increase the membership to
six instead of four, and have himself and
another one of the ''big five elected to
fill the vacancies. This, with Mr.. Soden,
would give Freedman's faction control of
the hoard and Mr.. Brush s influence would
he zero in that board. From what can be
learned at present it appears that Mr..
Freedman has a very good chance of
success.
1t is known that one magnate, living
not a thousand miles from Baltimore, who
has heretofore opposed Freedman, has
declared his intention to support him on
that question, at least, and if so the vote
is likely to he six to six, with President
Young brea king the tie in favor of enlarging
the hoard unless, as is rumored, the Wagner
brothers also desert the little seven, in
which case Freedman will have clear
majority.
There win undoubtedly be opposition to
the new rules which the rules committee
will report The coaching rules in particu-
lar will be discussed at greatlength.. So,too,
win the umpire question as to the enforce

ment OF the rules, receive large slice OF
consi derat ion. There Is an expressed
disposition on the part of the magnates
to have the umpires more rigidly enforce
the written laws than ever heretofore, and
if it is found that the managers really
mean to back up the umpire as master
of the field, there will be music of the
widest description all around the cir
cult. The rebelIious spirits of the Nc
Graws, Tebeaus, Joyces, Duffys, Jen-
nlngs, ETC., viii be knocked into submission
through innumerable fines and removals
from the game. 1t is argued that while
there may be little less excitement
more scientific base ball will naturally
follow the innovation.
just how the sch edule viii be received
remains problem. That it is likely to
add TO the interest of the meeting by arOus-
ing good, big fight is the general opinion.
That there is possibility Of 1t being the
medium OF a split between the Little
Seven" and big Five" and a war OF
factions as recently predicted, is denied
on all sides today. Whatever differences
may exist will, IL is said, be argued and
disposed OF without anything resembling
a split-up OF the league.
There will be an effort made to allow
the Brook yn Club tocharge what 1t pleases
for admission to it's grounds, and TO pay
visiting clubs 2 1-2 cents for each visitor
who passes the gates. Baltimore, st.
Louis, Louisville and Washington already
have this exceptional advantage. Should
it be granted to Brooklyn, Of course, Cleve-
land and Cincinnati will demand it.
Freedman will fight the Brooklyn prOposl-
tion on the ground that it would be mani
festly unfair to ask the New York manage
ment to pay the Brooklynites % cents
visitor q the Polo grounds, and get only
half that sum when they visited the Brook
lyn grounds.
While Uncle Nick Young has guarded the
scbedule with his usual care, 1t is under
stood by the managers that the season
will open on the 22d of April, except in
Boston, where there viii be one pTelin-
mary game April 10, which is Concord
Day, recently substituted for Fast Day.
Boston is expected to open the season

Carson, New, Feb. 24.-The women Of
Nevada and elsewhere, who have for some
weeks been Clamoring for permission to
see the Corbett- Fitzsimmons fight, are at

Il will admit women TO the fight simply
