MUCH INTERNAL WRANGLlNG

PHILADELPHIA, PA, November 3.-
The threatened war among the minor
baseball leagues was not declared at
the annual meeting OF the National
Association Of Professional Baseball
Clubs. which was held in New York
the past week; but for the fipst time
since the organization was foamed the
association found itself disturbed and
i'll at ease because Of a revolt against
the national agreement inaugurated by
one of its own members.
In, the past 1t has been customary
for minor leagues to charge all their
troubles to the major league organiza-
lions. In this instance the association
is. confronted with internal wrangling
through the defiant attitude OF one OF
Its most powerful members, with which
another member, equally powerful. is
cooperating to force @ grant OF con-
cessions that for the momen appear
to be distasteful to the smallest
leagues of the association.
The arbitrary insistence of the
American Association that its demands
be complied with or q revolt be the
outcome has engendered feeins OF
resentment for which there is reason.
