OUTLAWS READY TO
PUT AIN END TO
LONG WAR
State Leaguers Appoint a COM
n7fffee to Confer With John
son and PuIIiam

The first executive step toward end
ing the long baseball war between the
Coast league and the outlaw California
state league was taken last night at
the st. Francis hotel, at conference
of the officers and directors of the
outlaw organization. After several
hours of discussion it was agreed to
name a committee of five directors to
meet Presidents Ban Johnson and
Harry Pulliam of the American and
National leagues on their arrival this
month, with a view of going into or
ganized baseball.
1t had been originally agreed that
the committee consisting of President
Frank Herman. Charles Graham of
saeramsnto' @ Marins q a saootoa b Evans Of Fresno
man of San Jose, treat with President
Ewing of the Coast league and Henry
Berry of the Los Angeles team on the

moguls.
satisfied with coming into organized
baseball as a class b league, but there
is no question that all OF them will
insist na that they retain TAN every player
that has stood between the outlaw
league and Ewing in the past. but the
outlaws have hopes that they will be
dDlc TO gam luclI punt Wnen Johnson
and Pulliam arrive.
1t developed last night that the
champion Stockton club, the main fac
tor in the fight against organized bali.
was willing to join hands with the
others, provided it retains it's players.
This will be complicated question to
decide and will require all the strategy
and executive ability of Johnson, the
greatest man in baseball today.
Though the officials of the outlaw
league have not confirmed the rumor.
1t is likely that the Oakland, San Fran
cisco and Alameda clubs will be
dropped next season, leaving five clubs
in the field. If this action is taken 1t
will be necessary to add another club
to the circuit in order to bring six
cities into the league.
1t was the sense Of last nights meet
ing to carry on the war If the big
| league officials refuse to allow the out
law leagues to keep the men they have
on their payrolls, provided the latter
do not express a willingness to go to
the National and American league clubs
| which have put in claims for their
services in the past.
After the session the pennant was
1 formally awarded to Stockton and the
officers closed up their business for the
! year. According to these reports the
league enjoyed fairly prosperous
season.
