Report That the Deal Is Completed
Not Credited.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 25.-A report 10 the
effect that the pending deal for the com
bination of the tin can factories of the
country has been consumnated is not
credited among Baltimore manufacturers
interested in the negotiations. It is I'd
nitted that some progressive steps have
been taken lately toward completing the
deal. but il IS stated from an authoritative
source that the conclusion is BY no means
reached The optiOEs on the factories that
are wanted in the proposed combination
expire on April l. and if the ne6 trust is
TO be formed under the existing options il
Will be done in the next thirty days or SO.
It is said that practically all OF the Bal

fecting the deal Baltimore leads the
country in this line and the yearly output
Of the local factories is approximately
4G0. Geo 600 cans. About One-balf OF these
are used in the Baltimore and Maryland

BASEBALL MEN TO MEET.
The National League Spring Session
Begins Tonight.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-The National
League of professional baseball clubs will
begin its annual spring meeting at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel this evening
The meeting takes place earlier than
usual because of the state Of war existing
between the magnates and the American
League.
According to expectations, the National
men Will adopt a schedule. which may not
be made public and they viii probably
grant several of the demands of the Ball
Players Protective Association. The lat
ter. taking advantage Of the strained re
latiOns between the National and Ameri-
can leagues, has played its cards so we'll
that the maguates are forced TO make
concessions that were denied last Decem-
Der.
The protective association has among
its members about $50 men who were in
the National League last year. OF this
number it is said that 40 have declined
to sign National League contracts. II
peace with the players is established it
will be up 10 the National and American
leagues then 10 get together and settle
their differences on sensible business
basis
That this is the growing Impression in
baseball circles is shown by the recent
statement of Treasurer Lloyd. Of the Gin
cinnati Club. 10 the effect that the Ma
tionaI League men have shown too much
dignity and injured feelings. while the
American League men have been doing
too much Dragging. He says baseball
war will do no good, and that the public
is for peace.
As Freedman is now in control Of the
National Leagues affairs, the question of
peace or war appears to rest with the New
York Club president. Freedman WAS che
of the prime movers in forming the Ameri-
can Association.
