American Will Compel Discussion Of

CHICAGO, Jan. 6-Peace in base
ball circles will hinge on the disposi-

the American league has made a list
OF all those players who are believed

from National league berths and this
Ilst Will be presented to the National

committees shall meet 1t is claimed
that It is this list of players that has

The list includes players who were
announced by President Johnson some
time ago as having signed with the
American league, but who are now
claimed by the National league. The
Nauonal league magnates are charged
With having been responsible for the

can come.

Vorably on this proposition, which was
carried to him by an agent of john

The American members of the commit
tee, have been asked to be ready to
start for Cincinnati Thursday night.
August Hermann, however, has it i'm
his hands to balk the plans. Johnson
said last night he had not heard from
Mr.. Hermann.
Inc Americanleague committee will
go into the meeting with the National

ing that players who have signed two
contracts must be punished, and on no
other grounds will the two committees
meet.
