Features of the fourth day Of the six-day

markable stamina displayed by the surviv-

A special from Philadelphia says that
Manager William ]. Shettsline of the Ma

ty for the statement that the differences
now existing in that organization are like
ly to be settled within the next two weeks.
He said
The time has come when something
must be done, and fully expect to see the
two factions reunited and the league placed
on solid basis with the same cities in the
circuit that composed it last year. From
which side the Overtures for peace will
come l cannot say. but let 1T suffice that
when the critical moment arrives all will
put their shoulders to the wheel. and the
league will move on In the event of the
two factions failing to get together, which
is not likely, the Philadelphia, Brooklyn,
Chicago and Pittsburg teams will play out
the season as four-club league.
For some days there has been persistent
rumor that the Spalding end of the Ma
tional League and the American League
would be merged; that in Boston. Chicago
and Philadelphia the two clubs would con-
solidate and that the Baltimore team would
be transferred to Brooklyn. lie rumor was
that the club in Philadelphia would play at
National League park: that it would be
managed by Connie Mack, and that Mana

tary. Manager Shettsline emphatically de-

1.-The idea is preposterous. Conditions

to stand on it's own bottom without help
from the National League, and the situa-
ton is precisely the same as that OF last
year. l look to see two clubs In Philadel-
phia for many years to come. There can
never be any deal between the two clubs
