Rurnor OF a Conference
Of Ball Magnates

According to a rumor that percolated
around baseball headquarters last night
Cal Ewing, president of the Pacific
coast league, and number of the state
league officials. including Frank Her
man, It's president; Cy Moreing, owner
of the Stockton club; Al Jarman of San
Jose. and one or two other state league
officials, held a sort of love feast, In
which the matter of getting the state
league into the fold was discussed
If such a meeting was held 1t was
under the auspices of the order of the
amalgamated gum shoe, and so quietly
did the baseball men do their work that
they left no trace of what they did-if
they did anything at ALL
Ewing could not be located last night.
but Jack Gleason said that he knew
nothing of any conference, IL one had
been held.
There has been a movement on foot
for some time to get the state league
clubs under the national agreement.
but nothing definite has been done in
the matter yet.
Coast league officials have stated that
unless the state league comes into the
fold next season will have to adopt
methods of reprisal that will go hard
with Herman's league.
