 FOR MEETINGS

New York. December 1L-Major and minor league owners and managers and players are trooping to New York to be here for the National and American league meetings next week.
 Barney Drsyfuss announced tonight that he would fight with Hermann and Dovey for the reelection of John A. Heydler to the National league presiA dency.

 Moody and Henderson.
 Of the antis one hears more about Moody and Henderson than others, largely because there Is great demand for Moody on the part of a certain ele- ment in Montgomery, and lots of desire for Henderson among those who are lining up that way. It is hinted that some inside contentious are possible, but the most general belief is that those who fought the amendment will line up with one man and give him the best in the shop. or in all the shops.
