NATIONAL LEAGUE MEETING.

Baseball men will be interested in the
outcome of the National League meetings
held this week in Philadelphia. A num-
ber of important questions will come up
for discussion besides the regular routine
business. The playing rules seem TO be
about right as they are unless it is in the
point of pitching distance. If this were
made 3 feet less il would be great saving Y
of money To the clubs, for they would not
have TO carry so many pitchers since the
pitching strain would be less. Besides
the batsmen are getting after the ball
pretty hard at the present distance.
President Freedman OF New York will do
all in his power to have the double
umpire system adopted, sbut will meet
severe opposition. But it seems now rs If
il must come. Hart of Chicago will try
to have "inside ba /" eliminated and
make the game clean and gentlemanly.
The Temple cup matter VIII get its
share Of consideration, and for the good
of the game it is hoped that this series
will be- abolished, Other matters will
come up such as Phladelphia's special
privileges expenses, exchanges of players.

San Francisco, Nov G.--The aggre-
Caticn of ball players from the east

ton park. The All-American players
played all around the men from Baltl-

size OF the crowd was only limited by
the capacity of the grounds Every
scat in the grandstand and the bleachers
was taken, and a fringe of humanity sur
rounded the entire field. greatly inter-
fering with the, fielding OF the players
and being partly responsible for the
large score. The grounds, too. were
very rough, having been used for foot
ball when soft and slushy.

centre field fence for two bases.
The fielding OF the All-Americans was
clean and snappy. The only feature
