The Executive Committee of the Ma
tional League met again at the flftn ave.
nue. Hotel Yesterday and spent severai
more hours discussing the question Oh re-
covering players who have gone over 70
the American League enemy Whatever
plan of action that was agreed upon oy
the committee to fight the American
League was not made public, but the sur
mise is that the plan will be move oaseo
on appeal to the law. The corruptioh
fund over which there was some nurraH
at the last League meeting seems to nave
been shelved. the decision of the Pennsyi-
yania Supreme Court in the LaJoie case
presumably directing the minds OF the
National League folks toward legal pro-
ceedines at would injure our interests
to make known our plans now,' said iona
T. Brush chairman of the EXECUTIVE
Committee, yesterday. but we Will make
a vigorous fight Brush limited that
there might be several American League
stars back in the League ranks before
long; but as one baseball follower obsery-
ed. the public will believe the players are
coming back when they see them back.
Jim Hart, another member of the Ex-
ecutive Committee said after the meet
ing that the matter of how to go about
recovering players was gone over thor
oughIy, but he did not think it wise to
tip the Leagues hand, so to speak. The
belief was advanced that a sum was set
aside to pay lawyers fees. The commit
tee appointed Charles B. Power of Pitts
burg, formerly president of minor
league, a fifth umpire and the following
order was drawn for umpires' benefit
Unpires must announce at the Begin
ming of each game the names of the bat
teries and the umpire. If changes are
made during the game, the umpire must
at once announce the same to the spec
tators.
Rules and regulations for the Executive
Committee guidance were adopted and the
powers of the chairman of the committee
and secretary and treasurer of the League
were defined.
