BASE BALLIsTs IN SESSION.
Believed st. Louis VIII BE Expelled
From League To-day.

New York. Feb. 2S.-The annual sched-
ule meeting of the National Base Ball
League, which began to-day at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel promises TO be one of the
most interest ting and protracted sessions
ever taken part in by the men who control
the national game
Since the close of last seasons play
many deals have been heard of, and some
of them have gone through. The most
notable of these is the consolidation of the
Brooklyn and Baltimore clubs, which was
perfected yesterday.
The board of arbitration, composed of
John T. Brush, f. DE Haas Robinson,
James Hart, Col. John /. Rogers, A. II.
Soden and President Young, found enough
business to keep them in session until 7
O'Clock. At the conclusion of their meet
ing it was announced that no regular
meeting of the league would be held until
tomorrow.
Disputes between clubs and players &C.
cupied the greater part of the session of
THE board of arbitration. The principal
case taken up was the wrangle between
the st. Louis club and the Wilkesbarre
club over the failure of the former club
to pay the latter $50 for the release Of
Suter Sullivan AS "A result ST. Louis
has been suspended until the money Is
paid.
At O'Clock the board OF directors went
into executive session, at the conclusion
OF which Secretary Young gave out the
following statement:
StMr. Muckenfuss, representing the
Sportsman Park and Club, appeared before
The meeting and admitted the failure of the
club 10 comply with the orders of the board
of directors made at the last meeting Of
said board, to pay the Chicago club 81 900.
MIR. Muckenfuss also admitted being in
debted to the league in the sum of 81, 1888,
for dues and assessments. the treasurer
made a formal demand for the payment
Of the above indebtedness. After a lengthy
discussion 1t was decided unanimously that
the subject be referred to the league for
action"
The 81. 900 that St. Louis was ordered 10
pay to the Chicago club was the outcome
of the Decker deal.
AS the charges made against tho ST.
Louis club are not only undisputed, but
are admitted to be trde by the representa-
tive Of that club, II is generally expected
that the st. Louis club will be expelled
from the league at to-morrow's meeting.
