WAMLED ID CONTROL
 THE MINOR LEAGUES
Failing he Fasteners and American Association Secede.

Chicago, Nov. 1.-The Eastern League and American Association representatives caused a sensation at the annual meeting of the National Association of Professional Baseball 'Clnbs in this city today by with drawing from the session. The two bolting sections presented a resolution asking that they be given control of the national board of arbitration, and that the Western and Southern leagues be reduced from class A to class B.
 The resolution was voted down by the meeting. President O'Brien of the American Association then peti- tioned that the American Association and the Eastern League be allowed to withdraw from the National Asso- citation and requested permission to negotiate with the American League and National League for special working agreement.
 The petitioners insisted upon imme- diate action and when the petition was overwhelmingly defeated the two factions withdrew from the meeting. They declined to make any statement other than that they did not pro pose to be governed by a great num- Der of "Bushleaguers."
 The next move, it is said, will be to confer with the two big leagues, the American and National
