Better Than a War.

Wouldn't 1t be wiser to save 100000 or
$4,000 by going back to twelve clubs than
to have base ball war? That question was
asked a dozen times by the magnates who
advanced the twelve clubs when the circuit
was reduced year ago. Incidentally they
went on to show that with twelve-club
circuit In effect there would be no room for
opposition of any kind and that for the
protection OF the National League an agree
ment covering the next ten years should
be drawn up and signed by all interested
parties.
THE plan of the National League now
and for all time In future is to reorganize
the twelve-club circuit j. Earl Wagner
will have the Washington club. and Incl
dentally wipe out about S25 900 that the
league owes him for Withdrawing that city
from the circuit last year. If McGraw and
Robinson should make deal with Hanlon
& Co, for Union Park, Baltimore. about
$4,000 might be cut off the leagues debt
That would also abolish syndicate ball and

SOden Has Not Given Consent.
special from Boston under last night s
date says:
President Arthur H. Soden of the Boston
Base Ball Club, was asked today what he
knew about the dispatch that emanated
from Washington yesterday. in which 1t
was alleged he had given his consent 10
the placing of a second club in Boston.
Il know absolutely nothing about it, he
said. Il have not given my consent to the
establishment of a rival club here"
Have you been asked for your consentT'
was the query then put to the magnate.
Not directly" was the reply.
This would seem to Imply that the presI-
dent has been sounded. for he said he could
not now tell what he might say were he
asked. But he would not anticipate matters
by communicating to the press what he
might do when the matter was laid officially
before him. Many think that pressure Is
being brought to bear ON Soden SO that ne
will not precipitate a base ball war by
withholding his consent to the club here.
Mr.. Hyde, the counsel for the Charles River
Park corporation, says that no base ball
organization can get into that place with
out the consent of Arthur Irwin. who has
a lease on that place that will hold abso-
lutely, even in case Of the sale Of the prop
erty.

ANOTHER NEW MOVE
National League Reported as Going
Back to Twelve Clubs.
EARL WAGNER SLATED FOR This CITY
Washington, Baltimore, Cleveland
and Milwaukee to Be Reclaimed.
SPORTS IN GEN ERA L

The figuring out of the present base ball
problem Is beyond the ability of any one
outside the inner circle of diplomats Of
the game. Yesterdays story in the Star
detailing the object and possibilities Of
the American Association cleared the at
mosphere to certain extent and doubt
less gave close followers of base ball a
clear idea of what was transpiring among
the rulers of the game. Today another
story comes from New York, and one that
has all the earmarks of veracity. and II
true 1t clearly demonstrates that the Ma
tional League magnates will trust no one,
but will fight their battles alone. This
story Is from the New York World, and
runs as follows:
During the National League meeting
held in this city last December the World
stated that the magnates had under con-
sideration the ACCESSIBILITY of returning to
the twelve-club circuit, thus outwitting
Ban Johnson and the American League.
1t can be announced now on good au-
thority that the National League has been
working that line ever since the meet
ing. The one stumbling block has been the
attitude Of John McGraw and Wilbert
Robinson, who hold the Baltimore fran
chise In the American League and have,
up to date, remained true to that organiza-
ton in spite of the pleadings of the mag
mates.
A Secret Meeting.
ITO perfect their plans the National
League men held three days secret meet
ing within 100 miles of the city hall the
latter part of last week. The exact place
of meeting was religiously guarded. but as
McGraw said in Baltimore yesterday that
he was called up from the Democratic
Club by Harry Pulliam last Friday the
magnates presumably met in the Tammany
club house guests of President Andrew
Freedman of the New York club.
1T is easy to see how the twelve-club
circuit would help the league out of its
present dilemma, provided McGraw could
be brought into line. Clubs would be put
into Baltimore, Washington, Cleveland and
Milwaukee or Detroit, instead Of Louis
vile, thus taking away two of the Ameri-
can Leagues good cities and keeping 1t out
of Baltimore and Washington.
But as McGraw stands firm, the situa-
ton is simply that one base ball player mas
the owners of the base ball earth standing
on their heads.
