Talk Baseball.

Ban Johnson and A. G. Spalding
Talk Baseball.
Chicago. Jan. 1S.-Ban Johnson and
A. G. Spalding held "a conference here
today. at which the baseball situation
was discussed at considerable length.
Mr.. Johnson and Mr.. Spalding agreed
that it was inadvisable to consider an
amaIgamation Of the two leagues on
any sort Of a basis. Mr.. Johnson stat
ed that the American league circuit
was made up for the ensuing year, and
that there would be N, change in it in
any way.
Mr.. Spalding was equally emphatic
in announcing that the present four
local clubs of the National league.
Pittsburg. Chicago. Philadelphia ana
Brooklyn, would go through the sea
son intact. and would place out a four
club schedule if necessary. He ex-
pressed the opinion that there would
be the usual number of eight clubs.
but not more than eight nor less than
six.
Mr.. Johnson and Mr. Spalding are a
unit in the opinion that two major
league clubs. representing the larger
cities. are a necessity in order to sat
isfy the public. and both believe that
rivalries between these local clubs of
the two leagues will better satisfy the
baseball patrons in cities where two
clubs may be located.
