National League Meet
Philadelphia, Nov. 10.-There were
deals and rumors OF deals in the aid to-
day among the managers and magnates
Of the baseball league at the Walton
hotel The deal between St. Louis and
Philadelphia by which the latter would
secure the service OF Catcher Douglass,
Pitcher Donohue and Shortstop Monte
Cross, was believed to be practically
settled. So far as could be learned, the
only point on which the owners Of the
two clubs differed was as 10 which men
the st. Louis club should receive in ex-
change for the three men mentioned.
The original proposition from the Phila-
delphia club was to give st. Louis Pitch
er Taylor, Catcher Clements, Fielder
Dowd and Lave" Cross. This proffer,
it was said, was not satisfactory to ST.
Louis and although the deal might be
closed on that basis. there might yet be
a substitution of some other man for
one or the other of the four Philadel-
phians.
Regarding the proposition made by
Washington to the Philadelphia club 60
bunch the fifty or more players under
contract to the two clubs, the Philadel-
phia club then to have its pick of TWEEN
ty and rhe Washington to have the re-
mainder and then receive $4,000 from
the Philadelphia club, the owners of the
latter club emplatically declared the
matter had never been seriously con-
sidered by them. They said that by this
scheme they would be practically pay
ing $50, 900 for four or five Of the Wash
ington players and at the same time
giving to Washington several stars of
their own whom they do not want to
retain next season, but who can be used
in advantageous trade with other clubs
The deal, they said, would receive no
further consideration from them.
The deal between Philadelphia and st.
Louis for an exchange Of players was
cony1mmated this afternoon and was
confirmed by the club owners. Catcher
Grady will probably be transferred from
St Louis to New York.
The National league Feld two hours
session this afternoon, but the time was
wholly taken UP in discussion OF the
drafting rule, no action being taken.
The magnates, managers and other
visitors, including the newspaper cor
were guests al a banquet
given tonight by the Philadelphia club.
A deal was completed tonight by
which the Cincinnati club exchanges
Rhines, Schriver, Gray and Miller 10
Pittsburg for Pitcher Hawley and
Fielder Elmer Smith.
