A CLUB IN CHICAGO,
1t Is Thought the American League
Will BE Represented There.

Will BE Represented There.
There seems to be no doubt that Charles
Comiskey will have an American League
ball club in Chicago the coming season. He
has been trying for some time co secure
this privilege. and his visit to indianapolis
a few days ago was for the purpose of con-
ferring with John T.. Brush on the matter.
Since Brush and Freedman have buried the
Ratchet Hart, the Chicago magnate. is no
longer in the crowd that rules the big
Leagues affairs. Hart has protested against
Comiskey going into Chicago, but 1t is said
that his protests Will count for naught
against the strong friends OF the American
League in the National League. 1t is now
better than an even bet that Chicago will
be represented in the American League
next year, but the matter will not be def
nitely settled until after the National
League meeting. 1t is not the desire of the
American League officials to break any of
the rules In the national agreement, and it
is almost a certainty that a club can be
landed in Chicago without breaking the
agreement.
