all the time"

The annual meeting Of the National
League will be held in New York this week,
beginning on Tuesday. The magnates of
the National League are all at peace, all
thoroughly understanding each other. and
there will be no fight in the big meeting.
The meeting will probably not last over
three days. and, while 1t will be full of In
terest. everything will be harmonious. Bar
ney Dreyfus, who was here last week. init
mated that all the differences had Deeh
successfully patched up and that the Ma
tional League had but one great ngnt on
now and that was against the American
League. 1t seems an assured fact that an
agreement has already been reached ailonS

League will elect a president this year OF

ent government of an executive ooaru

the coming president of the League IL can

agreed to the selection of the Pittsourger

cessiOns would have to be MADE 10 tne

that the compromise was made by Pres
ident Dreyfus a week or so ago, wnen sew
eral Of the magnates seen are said to nave
agreed to allow Secretary Pulliam TO De.
come a member of the governing board. II
Is said that Dreyfus has urged the mag
mates to- adopt some definite plan for ngnt-
ing the American League. 1t Is said tnat
all the magnates will have to stand Tor
heavy assessment to pay the expenses Oh
such fight
1t looks as IL John T. Brush would make
a hit In New York. His circle of acquaint-
ances is far greater than most people know
He is a very popular man with the ORA
matte element. and that will be no small
factor in the baseball situation In New
York next summer. De Wolf Hopper. Dig
by Bell and all the old crowd that formerly
attended baseball games at the Folo
grounds have assured Mr.. Brush that they
are already with the team and roofing ior
the championship for New York. OUTSIDE
OF that Mr. Brush has host OF friends
through Masonic and business associations.
AS direct owner of the New York CLUB ne
will come into contact with a class whom
he well knows how to hold, and the future
of the New Yorks, from the standpoint OF
popularity, Is anything but dubious.
