From this It may be safely Inferred
that Magnates Dreyfuss and Hermann

will join with Hermann. Dreyfuss. and
Dewey in opposing Ward. The latter
agreement would pre- eGt the election

ais, who is in New York today, is a
John NJ. Ward man all right The con-
versationalist Of the Cubs. just as soon
as he was able to gather an audience.
came out and declared himself for John
Montgomery as the next president Of
the senior league. Murphy intimated
strongly that Ward would be elected
president Of the National League on
the first ballot that would be taken
next week, but refused positively 10 say
whether he would vote for John Heyd-
Ter to be continued in the National
Leagues employ. John Heydler is
thoroughly honest and all that" said
Murphy, but I have made up my mind
20 vote for Ward as president of our
league. / may vote for Heydler as
our secretary-t and L may
not"
Murphy refused to make public any
reasons why he wanted Heydler thrown
In the discard. and said it was none Of
the newspaper mems business who
would be elected president Of the Ma
tional League. Charles w, who once
was a scribe. said that the matter Of
the selection of "A president was eNclu-
sively the business of the club owners,
and adopted a Commodore Vanderbilt
policy toward the scribes who greeted
him.
Resents Suggestions.
The Chicagoan is of the opinion thar
the upward trend of baseball was due
entirely to the magnates and that the
national pastime had been the means Of
SO increasing the circulation Of the news
papers that men who were covering
baseball for the public prints should be
grateful to the club owners and should
always acquiesce in their opinions. I'VE
never go TO any newspaper proprietor
and tell him how many editions of his
paper he shall print said Murphy.
and IL seems odd that newspaper men
should come to us and tell US whom we
shall elect as our presid emit"
I am for Ward, and that Is all there
is to IT. Heydler is a nice fellow. but
the Chicago clubs vote for president OF
the National League will be cast for
Ward. 1 have nothing to say about the
Philadelphia situation, or as to how
President Fogel Will vote. Neither will
