immediate action.
The league. as a body. then temporarily
adjourned, and the board of directors
convened. IL lay In the power OF the
board TO do the trick. so, without fur
ther parleying. the Springfield club was
expelled. for business reasons" as the
delegates explained II. THAT paved the
way for Buffalo and Aid. Franklin was
welcomed back with open arms. The
league reconvened after that with the
following delegates:
Montreal, J. Nicholson; Toronto, Ed

CIV. Sweeney: Syracuse Frank Leon
ard; Hartford, Andrew WEIGH; Provi-

be deposited with the treasurer today,
instead of on April Is. The idea is to
bind the clubs of the circuit more closely
together I'm view OF the troublous times

President James Franklin OF Buffalo
Is greatly pleased with tire action taken
by the league. Buffalo. once a member
OF the Eastern league, left IL and In the

The action taken is, I'm a sense. but re-

1t was also decided that the season
would open Thursday, April 2i. The
schedule is to be made out by President
Powers and submitted 10 the league at
the March meeting. One hundred and
twenty-six Nr 140 games will be played,
the decision as TO the number being left
10 the president.
The meeting was one OF the most en-
thusiastic and harmonious ever held by
the Eastern league. President Powers
said that although he felt fattered by
the offer of the presidency of the Amer
lean association he was forced 10 decline
because he could not desert the Eastern
league at this time.
Mr.. Powers said that he would recon-
mend John II. Day. present supervisor
OF umpires In the National league. as the
president of the American association.
No action was taken regarding the
Players Protective association, as the
delegates preferred 10 await the result
of the players conference at Cleveland
Saturday. One Of the delegates said:
eve have not tried to sign any OF our
players yet. though all OF them are
members OF the Protective associStion.
They have not asked the Eastern league
to make any concessions, and until they
do we see no reason FOR taking action

Il has arrived the work OF setting up the
frames will go on SO fast that the boat
will assume shape almost before any one
knows IL.
The work at Bristol goes on the plan OF
bending pair of frames, tying them with
a deck beam and then setting them up on
the keel The East Boston workmen are
also keeping on floor beams which show
the crown of the deck plainly as about 10
inches The floor beams are of elongated
oval shape. with rivet holes at the bottom
TO be fastened to the frames, thus bracing
the frames to the deck.
