Whether the American Association and
the Eastern League viii definitely quit
the National Association Of Professional
Baseball Clubs, or. as 81 would DO bet
I ter known, the Minor League Associa-
ton, is not yet appareBt. but the fact
remains that a row has started which
will hardly end until there is a big re-
adjustment OF baseball conditions.
The American Association. especially,
has been ripe for trouble for the past
three years. ana some OF it's leading
members nave not hesitated 10 discuss
openly and without reserve projects for
cutting away from the other minors
These waTlike utterances were heard
before the scheme was suddenly sprung
last year 20 have the American Associa-
ton assume tie aggressive and invade
major league territory. Ever since the
talk Of last winter about an American
Association team in Chicago there has
been a feeling Of unrest, which has af-
fected the majors as much as the little
fellows. and the action OF the American
Association and Eastern League dele
gates IN Withdrawing from the National
Association IN Chicago yesterday may be
taken as an evidence Of strife in sight.
Leagues would agree to have their
status reduced from Glass A 10 Glass b.
even though technically such a course
would be proper because Of their pop
UlatiOns, was not to be thought Of for
a moment. They were sure 10 dght 10
a finish. Also, Il was a dead moral Ger
tainty that they would reject a PROPOSE
ton TO have the control OF the National
Association placed entirely n the hands
OF the American Association and the
Eastern League.
II looks like an irresistible force meet
ing an immOvable object. The other
minors will hardly submit. and the A. A.
and Eastern League have put them
selves IN a position where they must
make good their demands now or at
some other time.
OF the TWO allies the American As
sociatica is probably better prepared 10
fight, both from the standpoint OF pres
ent prosperity and future prospects
Should war be declared It would have
the advantage of being able TO attack
the majors by invading Pittsburg, Chi
cago, Cincinnati and possibly ST. Louis.
for ia the lasg town the National League
is extremely weak. The only available
major league city in the East which the
Eastern League could attack would be
Baltimore, which IL already has, Also.
1t Is doubtful If the Eastern League IS
sufficiently we'll heeled for a long strug-
gle against the united strength OF the
majors and the other minors The
American Association will have TO bear
the brunt Of the battle. and II seems
willing 20 t.lle d chance.
