Seeking FOR HARMONY
Baseball Magnates Anxious for
Unity in Their Ranks.
The LonG-Existing Trouble Between
Freedman and brush Factions
About to Be AmicabIy Adjusted
The Leaders Meet md Shake Hands
Work of President L. A. III. Soden.

NEW YORK, oct 10.-The magnates of
ment TO restore harmony in their ranks.
From an excellent source it was learned
today that the long-existing trouble be-
tween the Brush and Freedman factions is
about to be healed Most of the bitter
enmity that has existed between various
clubs and their owners was originally
caused by the wrangle between Brush and
Freedman over the services of Jack Doyle
in the fall of 1895. They have been at war
ever since. Brush has been backed by
Brooklyn, Baltimore, Washington, Cincin-
natl Cleveland, St. Louis, Chicago, and,
until last fall, Louisville. Freedman's al
lies have been Boston, Philadelphia, and
Pittsburg.
E. A H Soden, President of the Boston
Club, is the only magnate who has any in
fiuence with the New York Clubs presi-
dent. Soden is also one of Brush's friends
Appreciating the fact that Freedman was
hurting baseball and that the talk Of a
new league meant harmony in the National
League as a means of self-defeDce, Soden
has been working quietly to bring about a
general Misunderstanding.
1t is understood that when Freedman
paid his annual visit to Soden in Bos-
ton recently, the latter informed him that
unless the warfare between Freedman and
Brush was brought to an end the Boston
president would withdraw his support
from the New Yorker. Freedman is said
TO have objected strenuously to any recon
ciliation, but as Soden insisted the former
finally consented. AS result, Soden and
Freedman came to this city a few days
ago. In response to a despatch from So
den, Brush arrived about the same time
and registered at the Hoffman House. A
dinner was arranged and it is said that
Soden, acting as peacemaker, induced
Freedman and Brush to shake hands. 1t
is not known how cordially the men acted
toward one another, but 1t is believed that
they patched up their differences and
agreed to pull together
The news of this meeting has caused
quiet sensation among the other League
men. They do not know exactly what to
make of it. Some say that Freedman re-
quested Soden 10 fix matters up, while
others hold to the belief that Soden was
the instigator, with Brush willing accom-
plice. 1t is the general opinion that in
order to bring about the necessary reduc-
tion of the League circuit to eight clubs
harmony between Brush and Freedman
was absolutely necessary. reconcilia-
tion between Freedman and Spaiding has
not yet been arranged.

Matters of Importance.
A well attended meeting of the Mount
Pleasant Citizens Association was held in
the old Congregational Church building, in
Howard Avenue northwest, last night.
President H. H Twombly presided and
William Montgomery acted as secretary.
The minutes of the last meeting of the as
sociation were read and communication
from Commissioner Beach, in reply to a
letter from President Twombly, was sub
mitted. The letter related to the grading
and regulating of Kenesaw Avenue and the
park drive. In the letter addressed 10 the
Commissioners Mr.. Twombly requested
that some action be taken toward securing
proper grading and Captain Beach stated
in reply that the Commissioners had al
ready included an item of $10,0 900 for that
purpose in their estimates. Regarding the
laying OF sidewalks In the same locality
Captain Beach informed the association
that the money for such Improvements was
secured from the permit and assessment
systems. In the former the owners of the
property paid the full amounts themselves
and in the latter only half the cost was
charged to them. In regard to the opening
OF Seventeenth Street, which was also re-
quested by the association, they were in
formed that q new bill would have to be
prepared for this purpose and presented to
Congress.
great deal of discussion followed the
reading of Captain Beach's letter, and it
was finally decided TO write to the Commits
| sioners again urging the opening OF Sew
enteenth Street, together with several
other improvements. 1t is the desire of
the association that Howard Avenue should
be put In the same condition as it was
prior to the laying OF the new sewer, and
that catch basin should be constructed
at the corner of Fourteenth Street and
Howard Avenue.
