TROUBLE AHEAD
FOR COMMISSION
American League TO War
on Minors.
STILL AGAINST DEMANDS
johnson VIII Resist New Classification
and Increase in Draft Price
Hermann Holds Balance


CINCINNATI, Jan. at is not certain
that there viii be smooth sailing at the
meeting of the national commission in
this city this week when the matter eff
the new classification Of minor leagues
will come 10 for adoption and addition
to the national agreement.
The general impression that the Amer
lean League was not fully enlightened
on the subject of the minor leagues de-
mands. when the magnates of the cir
cult took action last month adverse TO
the adoption of the minors request
proves to be erroneous, according to the
statement of John f. Bruce. attorney
for the American League and stock
holder in the St. Louis club.
There was nothing developed at the
meeting of the National League in New
York regarding the demands OF the mi
nor leagues for new classification that
was not known To US al our Chicago
meeting, declared Mr. Bruce
Position Unchanged.
..The American League had at the
time it took action adverse to the de-
rnands of the minors as full an under
standing of what was desired and what
the plans of the minors we're as it has
now Nothing that has developed in the
interim has enlightened the American
League further, and consequently the
American League still is against the
propositions advanced by the minors
for new classification or an increase
In the draft price While l cannot say
what action our representative will take
at the meeting OF the national -corn-
mission, II is reasonable TO suppose that
he has not changed his mind on his
hi hes
since thar stand was taken to cause
him to alter his opinion
In osi4er words, President Ban john
son is expected to come to the national
commission with the view OF lighting
against granting the minor league de-
raands. and with President Puliiam in
structed the other way an interesting
fight will develop Hon. August Herr
mann, of this city, holds the balance
that Will pass or Kill the minors prof.
