THREATENED, 1T Is SAID, ON THE
QUESTION OF SUNDAY
GAMES.
TALKED OVER BY MAGNATES.
QUESTION THE MOST IMPORTANT
ONE DISCUSSED AT CLEVE-
LAND CONFERENCE.
NEW CIRCUIT OF EIGHT CLUBS
Contemplated IF New York, Boston
and Philadelphia Refuse to Take
the Desired Action.

CLEVELAND. Ohio, Jan. 1s-Ever
since Sunday there has been much
speculation here as to the meaning OF
the conference attended by President
Robson, Of the Cleveland baseball
club, and Messrs. Byrne and Abel of
the Brooklyn club, and Brush, of the
Cincinnati club. All the magnates
present said the conference was simply
held to consider the transfer of play
ers, but that Sunday games were
touched upon incidentally.
An afternoon paper declares that
Sunday ball playing was the most i'm
portant subject up and that it was
discussed in a way which threatens
split In the league unless those who
favor it have their way. Both the
Brooklyn and the Cleveland club want
to play Sunday games, the same as
Cincinnati, Louisville, st. Louis and
Chicago have been doing in the past,
the reason assigned being that some
thing of the kind is needed to help out
the seasons receipts. 1t is asserted
that the managers of the New York,
Boston and Philadelphia clubs will go
to the Baltimore meeting of the league
prepared to make a fight against Sun
day games, and that they will have
the help Of the representatives Of the
Chicago and Pittsburg clubs. In this
case they would be met by the repre-
sentatives of the Cleveland, Brooklyn,
Cincinnati, Louisville, ST. Louis, Balti-
more and Washington clubs, and the
matter will be fought out.
If the seven clubs which favor Sun
day ball cannot win, it is said, they
stand ready to form new eight-club
league by taking in Buffalo and thus
make Sunday games possible. AS a
part of this plan, it is stated that
Brooklyn and Baltimore are already
arranging for grounds outside the lin
it's Of those cities and no difficulty is
looked for in the other cities, because
of the interference of the authorities
with the playing of Sunday games.
The afternoon paper declares that this
scheme was arranged at Sundays con-
ference.
President Robson was asked this
evening what truth there was in this
story. None whatever" was the reply.
mo fight Of the kind outlined is an
ticipated at the coming meeting Of the
league"

PERRY GOES TO LOUISVILLE.
The Big First Baseman Not to Play
in MinneauOIis.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. 1s.-At last let
ter has been received from President Mick
Young which gives Louisville practically a
clear title to Perry Werden, the big first
baseman, who drafted from Minneapolis.
Secretary Dreyfuss said that there was now
no doubt that Werden would play in Louis
vile, and, while Chicago has not. waived
claim to him, no further trouble is antici-
pated.
The section of Mr.. Youngs letter which
relates to the Werden is as follows:
Replying to your question in relation to
an attempt by Chicago to transfer Werden to
a minor league club, would refer you to arti-
Gle Is Of the National agreement, which pro-
vides for such action, providing no other club
member of the league from which the assign
ment is to be made desires such player at
the terms of such player. This rule is clear
and would be strictly enforced in your favor
Secretary Dreyfuss said that under section
13 the Louisville management was entitled
to Werden, and would certainly get him.
Chicago" said he, never had any idea
Of playing Werden, but wished to return him
to the Minneapolis club after the drafting
season had expired. President Young wrote
to President Hart three weeks ago for in
formation about Werden, stating that we had
drafted him, but has heard nothing"
Mr.. Young'S letter to Secretary Dreyfuss
also contained the assurance that Louisville
would be well provided with good dates under
the schedule arrangement.
