A Recurrence of Talk of National
 League Regency.

New York, Dec. 13.-After taking three ballots which showed continu- ation of a deadlock, the third session of the annual meeting of the National league adjourned tonight until tomor- row. The ballot stood: John Ward 4. w R. Brown 4. The most significant feature of the meeting was the intro duction of a telegram from Ban John son, president of the American leargue. reading: The American League club owners have left New York. This
 should indicate forcibly to you, that
 we don't wish to interfere or embar- rass in the slightest degree the election of one officer"
 President Ebbetts of the Brooklyn club, announced that it was the sense of eight of the magnates that Johnson had receded from his avowal not to sit in the national baseball commission If Ward were elected president of the league, a position he had assumed IS an ardent advocate of Heydler. Ebbetts announced further that if the eight, presidents could not break the dead lock they must either appoint a re- gency. such as formerly existed or ap- point one of their number to act as president.
