Both factions In the National Base
Dali League are now satisfied to let
the case pending in the New York
suprena court come to trial before any
further action is taken.
It is certain that efforts are being
made to bring the case to speedy trial.
Beth discOrdant elements now realize
that the National League Will become
but memory II something Is not done
at once to give the organization any
standing with the public. No more
tnopportune time could ever have come
for factional dispute, as the Nation
al Leagues loss has been the Ameri-
can Leagues gain.
Meanwhile, belief grows stronger on
the part OF many important baseball
men that some movement is on foot
by which the Cincinnati and New
York clubs will become members of
the American League, anu that the
other two members of the freedman
faction will be well taken care of 10
case the American League is expanded.
Undoubtedly John T. Brush of the
Cincinnati club has been in consulta-
ton with American League omcials,
and he has been given full power to
act for the organizations which hs rep
resents.
II the National League quarrel
should lie settled, presumably no ac-
tion OF this kind would be taken, but
the Freedman clubs are laying the
bpes to protect themselves in case

He still declines to discuss in any
way the possibility OF lne New York
club joining the other organization,
and his refusal to commit himself in
the matter has led to the belief that
there is something more than mere
