SMITH WILL NOT BUY
NEGOTIATIONS WITH
COMISkEY
NATIONAL LEAGUE MEETING
Delibe ratiOns of the MOguIs In New
York Today VIII Probably Clear
Up the Doubt I'm which the Status
of st. Paul as Baseball Town
Is Now EnveIOped-May Go Into
New League.

Negotiations for the sale of the st. Paul
can League of Baseball Clubs, which have
been on between the present owner,
Charles A. Comiskey, and E. B. Smith,
representing a syndicate of capitalists,
came to an end yesterday, Mr.. Smith re-
jecting the final proposition made by
Comiskey, and declaring himself unwill-
ing to listen to further propositions from
the same source.
This revives the possibility that st. Paul
will have a club, as it is not yet clear
whether Comiskey will be able to gain
the foothold in Chicago he has anticipat-
ed and he may come back to ST. Paul to
play after all for 1900.
An associated press dispatch last night
stated that st. Paul had applied for q
| franchise In the new Western league,
which T. ]. Hickey of ST. Joseph, is pro-
| noting, but the dispatch failed to state
who had applied for the franchise for st.
Paul
A Washington dispatch says:
The most feasible scheme to be propos-
| ed. according to well grounded informa-
| ton from inside sources. will be the Or
| ganizatiOn of two eight-club leagues, I'M
! u0F one national agreement. lnlS pan
would be brought about by the sale of
! franchises to additional prominent cities
| where strong support can be depended
upon, and the equitable division, as near
as possible. into two leagues located with
| IN practically the same territory. The
four additional cities most desired and
expected to enter such an agreement are
said to be Providence. r. l.; Buffalo, N.
Y; Detroit Mich. and Kansas City, Mo.
1t is anticipated that the Cleveland club
will be transferred to Milwaukee, thus
giving sixteen first-class baseball cities,
which would likely be divided in the fol-
lowing circuits:
First circuit-Was hington, Philadelphia
New York. Providence. Detroit, Pitts
burg. Chicago and Kansas City
Second observation-disclosures, Brooklyn
Boston, Buffalo, Cincinnati. Louisville,
St Louis and Milwaukee,
1t is conjectured that schedules for these
two leagues would be so arranged as to
call for two series of fnterleague games
four clubs of each circuit, to be played
in the middle of the season and at the
end, thus deciding the national champion
ship.
A Toronto, Ont. dispatch says: Toronto
may be represented in the new American
Baseball association. The Toronto Street
Railway company applied for franchise,
and their application 1t is said has been
received with favor. The company have
secured an option on suitable grounds in
the western part of the city. If the new
association goes through Toronto will
have team With excellent backing.
