A Dream. Says PuIliam.

President Harry Pulliam, of the Ma
tional League. when seen yesterday at
American League Park, said in regard
to the report from the West that the
National and American leagues were 10
consolidate into one organization of
twelve clubs: "A Western pipe dream,
my boy. There is positively no truth in
the rumor. as far as I know. and I
would be apt 20 know something about
such an important move il there was
one under way.
'T had 10 intimation that President
Ban Johnson. OF the American League.
and President Garry Hermann. OF the
Cincinnati Club, were TO meet, but
know that they are old friends, ard
think. possibly, it was merely a social
cali OF Mr.. Johnson on Mr.. Hermann"

Lotus Views.

Tom LOTUS was seen this morning
and in discussing the proposed merger
said he placed little or no credence IN
the report.
The local manager further stated that
he does not believe such deal is even
being discussed and that Ban Johnson's
presence in Cincinnati was alone attrio-
utable to the Lajoie Bernhard tangle,
which he successfully unraveled. Should
such deal go through. Mr. Lotus con-
tinued, Washington would in no wise be
affected, as it is recognized as one of
the best baseball cities in either league
and would draw just as large crowds
for a National as an American League
club. Lotus thinks, however, such a
deal would be a wise one. and in this
respect he is in line with the leading
baseball men of the country. The views
of few of these are herewith given
