The National League baseball men finished
their annual meeting at the Victoria Hotel
yesterday and went their various ways after
a three days powwow at which nothing
startling developed and at which there were
evidences Of more friendly feeling among the
a~ntagonistic factions than had been the case.
The new board Of directors met yesterday
and among other things recommended thar
the salaries Of President Pullism and Secre-
tary-Treasurer Heydler be increased, This
was done by unanimous vote Of the league,
which was not going to be outdone y the
American League in hosting the pay OF its
chief executive. To what figure the presi-
dents salary was increased none OF the
magnates would say.
The constitution was amended TO suit the
action Of the delegates In making the presi-
dency and secretsry-treasurership separate
offices and vesting control Of the umpires in
the president and not the secretary. There
was some discu ssion of the attitude of the
Tri-State, also known as the outlaw, league.
The Tri-State held out no olive branch, made
no appliCat ion for protection under the
national agreement. but there was an ex-
preston of opinion from each Of the National
League clubs ON its position in case applica-
ton should be made. There was no dis
position whatever TO make any special con-
cessions to the Tri-stste to induce it to come
into the fold Of organized ball, No one
favored ranking il higher thar Glass Is. As
the Tri-Stata also was independent IL will
doubtless continue without the pale for at
least another year.
Although John 7. Brush OF New York
voted against Pulliam for the presidency,
there was not the frigidity between them
that has existed. One of the delegates TO
the meeting said il was entirely peaceful,
that bitterness between Brush and Pulllam
was passing away, and that there was a bet
