REPUBLIC SPECU1A
Chicago, Dec. s-Thc Washington club
and its Incidental tangies will furnish the
chief tonic tomorrow at tho American
League meeting, aside from the election
Of officers for 1905.
Tho league will not be In a position to
dispose of the Washington club until some
of the present stockholders have beer
induced to dispose Of their holdings. a
II has been found impossible to handle
matters successfully in that city until a
minor cement has been disposed OF.
Gap" Anson, the veteran manager of
the original White Stockings, will be on
hard to ascertain IL the league is able to
fix a price en- the Washington outfit for
his consideration.
So far as the clubs have reported for the
meeting, the sentiment is unanimous for
a shorter playing schedule than last sea
con and for post-season games with Ma
months during which the players contract:
are in force. 1t 1, likely that whatever
committees are appointed will be in
structed to work for an agreement with
the National League to this effect.
President Taylor has Il scheme which he
will submit to the league for bringing to-
eether the rival clubs In the order In
which they finish tho season. but he will
be willing to accept any revision Of his
Ideas which meets the generalapprova1 OF
the league: Concerning tho statements
made by Chairman Hermann, President
johnson said to-day that they were rather
contradictory on their face, Hermann e1-
pressed opposition to any move by the
American League to reduce the schedule
TO 40 games, and at the same time
strongly advocated system of post-sea-
son games between the major leagues
The league meeting will be preceded by
q directors meeting in the American
League offices. The principal business to
be transacted by the board is the award
ing OF tho pennaat to Boston and the
auditing Of tho leagues finances.
President johnson announced that he
had received from Chairman Hermann
notics that the next meeting OF the Ma
tional Commission had been postponed to
January ..
That meeting will be Of especial interest
to Chicagoans because it will deal with
the charges made by President Hart Of
Pitcher Jack Taylor. with reference to the
local post-season series Of 1903. and will
doubtless result In clearing the atmos-
phere besides Furnishing the guilty party.
The baseball men who arc expected to
arrive tomorrow morning include Frank
Farrell of the New York club ]. F. KilfoyI
and c. W. SomerB OF Cleveland. Frank
Navin OF Detroit. r. L. Hedges of St.
Louis. and Managers Collins of Boston.
