AND INNUENDoEs
The corridors Of the Fifth Avenue Hotel were
thronred wi.h the big and little fish OF the base
ball world yesterday. and the timid politicians VIII
not have the corridors TO themselves for the next
day or two The scenes the same at all League
meetings There are the sleek. well-dressed club
owner and the ath.ctic-looking player and the
numerous correspondents and local newspaper
representatives
Tho ciub-owners were late in arriving yesterday
ana late in the afternoon the announcement was
made that the regular meeting had been post
poned until Il a. m. to-day About o'clock In the
afternoon the members Of the National Board OF
Arbitration met in secret session. and at the con-
cusion % their elaboration they said mat the
club-owners had decided 20 throw the So. Louis
Club out OF the League That club has been IN
litigation in 81. Louis FOR long time. and 1t is
feared that the litgaton will continue for some
time TO come The club-owners are deslrous OF
pacing the Cleveland players and Frank de Haas
Robson nj S.. Louis. and the move made yesier-
day would seem 10 tend in that direction
The Board o. Arbitration makes ID" move with
the idea that e. f. empowered to IL so under its
own constitution Last year the ST. Louis OIuo
purchased the release Of Suter Sullivan from the
Vrkesharrc Club II agreed 20 pay The Wilkes
barre Club 500 for the release OF that player This
hIs never been paid. and the Board considers that
To s.; Louis Club has forfeited IT'S rights. In
taking such heroic methods Il IL the opinion ot some
that the League is establishing precedent when
Il may desire to in future 1t is notorious
that some Of the clubowrors 90 not live mp 10 the
constitution OF the League. and If St Louis can
BE- thrown ont legally II VII DC an easy matter 10
harGlo other undesirable club-oowers in the future
