of American League Meet

CHICAGO. Nov. 5.-Not wishing to
hand little old New York an unex-
pected jolt-but in all probability Chi
cago will entertain the magnates Of
the American League, in December
when the annual meeting Of the young
er organization is scheduled 10 startIe
the snOw-bOund fans At least this
was the intimation handed out by Pres
ident Johnson upon his return from the
wilds of northern Wisconsin.
The ruler Of the American League IS
determined that Chicago shall be recog-
niZed as the geographical center Of
baseball. and is just as determined that
Chicago shall stage one major league
convention instead OF permitting New
York to advertise doubIe-headers year
after year.
After a week Of isolation in the
woods, President Johnson had little
comment to make upon baseball gossip
IN general and the Philadelphia-Cincin-
natl imbroglio in particular. He was
interested in the announcement that
BObbie Wallace was being talked Of as
manager Of the st. Louis Browns. Jack
O'ConnOr IS officially retired.

his new enterprise.

has high hopes Of establishing a club
Fletcher was due here, according to his
own statement, last Tuesday.
Although the men who control the
sixteen major league clubs are not
openly paying much attention to Fetch
er and his plans. there is no gainsay-
ing the fact that he has some owners
worried. Fletcher is carrying around
ninety-twO agreements with big league
players and exhibiting them when asked
90 do so. These agreements, Fletcher
says, are evidence tFat he is going
ahead with his scheme. Some Of these
sO-caIled contracts have been repudia-
ted by the men who signed them, but
Fletcher probably aas about eighty
players tied up
Advices from Pittsburg last week
said that park had been leased there.
and the inference was that Fletcher
was the man behind the gun. Whether

city is not known. but he is doing some
tall hustling in the West
Wen posted baseball men say il is i'm
possible for Fletcher TO break into New
York without going up in the Bronx or
on Long Island for a park. Neither the
Bronx nor Long Island would appeal TO
Manhattan's fan colony, and Fletcher
would have TO exhibit some swe, at
