MR.. BRUSH'S PLAN KILLED
NATIONAL BALL LEAGUE DECIDES
AGAINST REORGANIZATION.
indianapolis Agreement of 1891 Is Still
in FOrce-Spalding to Be
Elected President.

NEW YORK, Dec. 11.-John T. Brushs
scheme for a revolution of the national
game is dead. At the meeting at the Fifth
avenue Hotel to-day the National League
magnates decided by a majority vote that
the League was perpetual body and did
not cease with the expiration of the In
dianapolis agreement Dec. is. 1t was de-
cided also that no club can be expelled
from the League except for specified
causes as set forth in the constitution and
bylaws of the organization. Thus Mr.
Brush's plan for syndicate baseball came
to an end.
The vote followed a resolution to declare
the League out of existence on and after
Dec. IS. For several hours the matter had
been discussed and argued pro and con.
The speeches. it is said, were stormy ones.
Charges of bad faith were frequently made
on both sides. Finally a vote was taken.
The result, according to excellent author
ity, showed that Brooklyn, Boston, Phila-
delphia and Chicago were against the mo-
ton. st. Louis voted yea, while New
York and Cincinnati did not vote The
vote, it is said, means that the National
League is back where it was before the
signing of the Indianapolis agreement in
1891.
An attempt was made at to-day's meet
ing to elect A. G. Spalding president. 1t
was at first reported that he had been
beaten, but this turned out to be untrue.
Shortly after the magnates went into ses-
sion Dreyfuss made a motion that the
was amended that A. G. Spalding be unani-
mously elected president The hitch was
in doing away with the regular order of
business, so as to proceed with the cleo
ton In the regular order the reports of
the board of directors and those of various
committees must be heard before the cleo
ton can be proceeded with. When the
matter put to a vote Boston, Cinoin-
natl, st. Louis and New York voted for
proceeding in regular order, thereby set
later. 1t is said on good authority that at
least FIVE of the clubs favor the election of
Mr.. Spalding. They Pittsburg. Boston,
Chicago, Brooklyn and Philadelphia.
At $3.50 o'clock tonight the League rulers
began another session, at which they lis
tened to the report of the board of direc-
tors.
A story that Hanlan will manage the
New York team next season was killed
as soon as Hanlan reached the hotel to-
day. He has an iron-clad agreement with
the Brooklyn directors that he will stay
with them as long as they want him at a
stipulated salary.
Kelley, captain of the Brooklyn team,
was mentioned to-day in connection with
the management of the New Yorks.
The New York club to-day secured Matty
Mcintyre, an outfielder of the Philadelphia
American League club, and l.. Quinlan,
short stop of the Montreal team.
The meeting adjourned about midnight.
President Young announced that there was
nothing for publication.
