spondence between the various mag
mates. This correspondence consisted
of Il circular letter written by Frank
dc Haas Robson to the presidents of
the National League clubs, under date
of Feb. /. 1901, dated from Cleveland.
This letter urges the election of Spal-
ding as president and discusses the
base ball situation fully and advising
the League to do something to please
the public. In reply to this letters
were received from 4. II. SOden, James
\. Hart. &. II. Ebbetts. \. J. Reach
and the other presidents, except Brush
and Freedman. heartily approving or
the selection OF Spalding for president
and generally agreeing with Robson.
Later in the evening Il meeting was
held at the hotel to which the news
paper men were invited. and SpaldinS
made a further statement. He said
that the only magnateS he had talked
to confidentially since the meeting be-
gan were Hart and SOden. Spalding
said SOden had practically pledged
ROston'S vote for him for president.

ding, my name was put i'm nomina-
