of them justified him in bringing the pro-
moters together.

stockholders was held yesterday. President

Carthy, which read as follows:
"McGraws action unauthorized. Have
wired Arson to cancel meeting in Baltimore
this week. Will you come? Answer. Bos-
ton redhot."

would deposit its guarantee within the limit
after the eighth club was secured, and
urged the committee appointed to secure
this eighth city to go ahead with Its work.
Sentiment was favorable to renewing
work on the association circuit until Nc
Graw arrived on the scene. He said 1t was
impossible to get respectable team in Bal
timore now for this year. as President Han
lon had signed contracts from the majority
of the best men.
Pending negotiations, the respective coun-
sci of the league club and McGraw's asso-
citation agreed to postpone the case In
court over the dispute as to the possession
of Union Park until next week.
