 DECLARED A DRAW
JOSEPH D. O'BRIEN REMAINS AT HEAD OF AMERICAN ASSOCiA- TON AS RESULT OF STRIFE AT CHICAGO MEETING.

Chicago. December %.-Members or the American Baseball association at their annual business meeting here today. be- came involvel in dispute, and the final outcome was that President Joseph D. O Rrien will retain his office by holding over as the league is divided in the controversy. The dispute today started in the board of directors meeting. Michael Kelly w-ho as president of the St. Paul club, last spring was elected chairman of the board of directors, claimed that he was still at the head of the board. Ac- cording to the constitution of the Ameri- can Baseball association, Kelly ceased to he a member of the board of directors when the St. Paul club sold his release to the St. Louis American league club a few months ago.
 When the board of directors met today Kelly took the chair, but George Lennon, owner of the St. Paul club presented his credentials or representation for the St. Paul club, and Kelly was out-voted and withdrew from the meeeting, along with Watkins of Minneapolis and Brice of Columbus. Tebeau of Louisville, Havenor of Milwaukee, and Lennon of St. Paul, the other members of the board, then proceeded to elect officers of the board for the ensuing year, and George Tebeau, owner of the Louisville and Kansas City clubs. was elected chairman, and Lennon was made secretary.
 When the board of directors had finish ed their business President O'Brien called the regular league meeting to order, but the only other member of the league be- sides himself. who answered the call was J. Ed Grille of Toledo.

No Confidence In Them.

For myself, I find 1t impossible to be- lieve that the committee. coaches and umpres who have ruined the game. are to be trusted with it's reform or replace ment. The fundamental difficulty with the present game is the bad spirit in which it is played. To get rid of this vicious spirit I think we must stop inter- collegiate football for a time. On the whole, therefore. I favor separate action by the individual colleges. and not con- forences and conventions or other at tempts to continue intercollegiate football under new regulations
 This Is the first official declaration of the spirit of the Harvard authori- ties toward the game. Heretofore in answer to all inquiries the statement was made that President Eliot would deal with the whole matter in his letter to the university corporal tion in February. but that the initiative action for or against football did not lie with him. but in the overseers of the university

 After playing New Orleans, Yale went on to Galveston, Tex, but the result of that game has not been heard yet.
 Although this game comes very early in the season, the Athletic club should show up In unusually good form, judging from the practice games they have put up. Joe Riddle is captain of the team, and the other four players will be select ed from the following: Berry, Eugene Jones, Shute, Spencer, Ware, Huey, Peace, Woodruff, Chairsell, Ansley and Gibson. Most of these men are in excellent phy- sical condition and ought to be able to hold their own In the rough -and-tu tumble football-style game which Yale is said to play.
 Reserved seats for Mondays game are now on sale at the Athletic club and all ready about 300 of them have been sold There are only about 400 seats In the house so the indications are that the game will be played to standing room only audience.
 After the game the visiting team will be given a dance in the gymnasium.

Eliot Presents Views.

President Eliot of Harvard has de- clared himself in favor of stopping intercollegiate football for one year in order that the game may be modified and a reasonable game de- vsed and demonstrated in practice He expressed his views in a letter to Chancellor Maccracken of New York uni versity, in replying to an invitation to Harvard to attend the conference of col leges on football to be held here today. President Eliot. after saying that the invitation had been referred to the fac- ulty committee on athletics. added:
 "I avail myself of this opportunity to tell you that my own belief Is that in- ter-colleglate football should be stopped for one year so that the individual col leges may demonstrate in practice, each on it's own grounds, a reasonable game of football.

 The conference. which was the result of call issued by Chancellor MacCrack en of New York university, finally ad journed tonight. subject to the call of the president. The debate during the day was spirited at times The appointment of q rules committee to act with the ex- isting football committee was the result of the stand taken by West Point in favor of such action as the most ra- tional course for the conference to pur- sue.
 The instructions to the new rules com mittee were those recommended by West Point. Captain Pierce, representing the military academy declared that the aca- demic authorities did not want all the roughness taken out of the game Some knocks and bruises were necessary to the sport He believed the rules. slightly modified, and thoroughly enforced, would bring about the desired change in the game.
 Among the institutions represented at the conference were: University of North Carolina, Kentucky State college, St Johns college. Annapo- lis Maryland Agricultural college, Van derbit university and University of l Texas
