Barney DreyfusS Does Not
Anticipate Change in
Present Regime.

! PITTSBURG. Pa, Dec. 1.-WiH yo,
| jump the National League If Ward IS
elected president OF the organization
This question was fired at President
Barney Dreyfuss this morning why
should i. ne replied, L have no fear
Of the outcome OF the election or any
other matter that Will come up at the
meeting. The same parties who are now
after Heydler were after the late Presi-
dent Pulliam. but they never won out
Il is easy enough 10 start something Ia
baseball, but it is another thing to finish
f. was the smiling remark Of the little
president of the new worlds champions
Mr. Brush, who is so much I'm the
lime light the past week, has not been
very active in the work Of the old
league since the early days Of Pulliam.
When the latter sat down On the man
uer OF conducting the league under the
Brush regime the giants owner has
suH5ed in his tent ever since. and now
II al he has good partner in Windy
Mmrhy he is making his old claims.
But no one pays any attention TO him.
II IS a question when he finds out what
he lis up against If he does not move
TO make the election of the best presi-
dent the National League ever had, UNI
nous. That would be abCut his speed.
and then tell of how he elected John
Arnold Heydler.
No, 1 90 not think there will be any
split in the old league The manner IN
which the game las been conducted the
past few years has been almost perfect,
and every one has made money. Why
should we ali go to war lust because
one faultiinder does not like the pres'-
dent. We viii have enough votes TO
keep Heydler in office. You know they
must get five votes to elect Ward, while
Heydler can not be removed from Office
unless they elect Ward. All John has 10
do Is keep still and he viii have four
votes TO his credit and that VIII prevent
anyone else from acting"
Another thing / would like TO ask is
THIS, why should We elect a man who Is
the cause Of us losing thousands of dol
lars2 That is what Ward did In the
brotherhood days. Now he wants us to
help him. ] cannot see the proL osition
Of doing him a good turn Ward has
not been actively connected with base
pail Tor years and the old style Of con-
Quoting the league has changed consid-
erably man who has kept pace with
the dOings should be at the head OF the
league, and that is why / want the
present official 90 remain there. and III
II lays in my POWER he viii be our presi-
dent until he wishes TO retire.

DOVEY, OF BOSTON,
WILL SAY NOTHING

BOSTON. Mass, Nov. 3O.-President
John Dewey, of the Boston National
baseball club. will say nothing as 10
his position upon the presidency OF the
National League. Il am letting the
others do the talking" is the way he
expresses himself.
However. Il is felt here that he is a
strong Heydler man and VIII vote for
the present head at the meeting next
month in New York.
Heydler was very useful 10 Dewey
during the time he was engaged in set
ting the clubs affairs straight after the
death of George Dove,, and IL is well
known that the DOveys, Heydler and thu
late Harry Pulliam were firm friends.
SO far as any possible sale of the
Boston club is concerned, Mr.. Dewey
says. Nothing to it." He IS to remain
as president with the likelihood of two
more years of baseball ahead, at least.
The club carries a 100000 mortgage
with two years TO run Any prospective
purchaser would have that burden to
bear.
The Boston club holds it's annual
which time something worth while may
develop, the general baseball situation
being so full Of Surprises.
Dewey declares he will attend the
meeting of the National League with
the firm intention OF securing some
ball players TO strengthen his club. Just
how far the other league club owners
will make that possible is a question.
The talk Of Fred Lake being made
manager Of the Doves appears idle from
what President DOVey has said Man
ager Smith was Dovey's selection when
BOwerman was dropped, and Dewey
rather thinks Smith is the man for the
job
Lake VIII be IN New York at the
meeting. and is likely to land some
where, either in the major or minor
leagues. Lake has a large following in
Boston who would ike to see him at
the National League grounds.

the National League, and provide for
a series OF inter-league games at the
conclusion of the National and Ameri-
can Leagues playing seasons.
The fight on the presidency. Of course.
IS expected to prove the biggest bone
of contention. The belief is growing
however, that Garry Hermann Will
put one over on the other magnates
and force the election Of Heydler, who
succeeded Harry Pulliam, though Muir
