NEW YORK. Dec. IS.
"HILE the Eastern League was
w finishing up its routine bust
ness today the magnates of the
National Baseball League were as
sembling for their annual meeting.
President John t. Brush, of the New
York Club, was the only club presi-
dent who was not expected to attend
the gathering of the older major or
ganization, but other officials OF the
club, were on hand to look after the
interests of the organization.
The question of the league presi-
dency this year, as last, is the primary
one for the magnates to settle. No
such long-drawn-out combat as that
of last winter was looked for, however.
While 1t was admitted that opposition
to President Thomas J.. Lynch, of New
Britain. might develop, there seemed

league meetings may be between st.
Louis and Pittsburg In the National
League. Fred Clarke wants Konetchy,
and wants him badly. but Bresnahan
wants a whole team for him, including
Jack Flynn for n Dots" Miller. and,
possibly Wagner. The deal will never
go through that way. but several other
Pirates may figure in the deal. and
Flynn will surely be one Of them.
Grant Sore at Griffith.
1t develops that the reason Eddie
Grant did not sign and does not want
to sign with Cincinnati is that he had
a little difference with Clarke Griffith
last summer on the diamond. Griffith
got Grants goat while coaching and a
verbal tilt resulted. Grant still is sore.
but their difference may be patched
up at today's meeting. Both were pres

terday.

Everybody knows Larry and many
were the congratulations he received
