NO BASEBALL WAR.
President Young Discredits tn
Eight-Club League story.


The spectre of an eight club league has
again appeared to haunt the dreams of the
baseball magnates. The story from New
York published in yesterdays Times, Civ
ing details of he scheme to disrupt the
present organization and in its stead place
in the field an eight club league, has caused
no end of comment here.
There are some who aver that the twelve
club league will not last through the pres
ent season, but the majority believe that
not only will this years schedule be played
cut, but that the circuit will continue as it
is now until the expiration of the ten
year agreement.
Time and again has the eight club pro-
ject been sprung upon a suffering public,
and each time the denial has been placed
upon the rumor by the magnates. This
time the story was rehashed with infinite
detail and President Wagners refusal to
absolutely contradict the rumor was ac
cepted as an evidence of its correctness.
N. E. Young, President of the National
League, was seen at his residence last
night by Times reporter, and talked free
ly on the subject. He considers the idea
of the present Leagues disruption absurd,
and said there could be no reason for the
withdrawal of any of the clubs at this
time.
Il have read the story, and I am posi-
tive there is no truth whatever in the
report The people can rest assured that
the League will exist in its present shape
until after the ten-year agreement ex-
pires, which will be in 1901. At that time
it is probable that two leagues will be
formed, possibly under one general man
agement. l do not believe any of the
clubs will lose money this year, though
some of them will not make much The
Cleveiands are not getting the support
they deserve at home, but the team is
drawing well on the road, and they have
some excellent dates for the season.
THE Washington club is playing good
ball, and many of their defeats have been
by only one run, whereas. if they had
played in luck, they would have won. 1t
is possible that some club may withdraw
from the race, but so far such thing has
not been seriously considered, and such
step is highly improbable"
Regarding the rumor emanating from
st. Louis to the effect that plans are being
laid for a war on the National League,
President Young also said:
ITO those who know what a baseball
war means, the absurdity of the idea is
apparent The bitter experiences of the
Brotherhood year have not been forgotten,
and no one is going to throw away money
for the fun of the thing. The National
League won its fight then, and it is in
far better condition now to enter such
contest than it was at that time. There
will be no baseball war

others complaining to the Commissioners
regarding the condition of Brentwood
