McALEER NOT LIKELY TO
MAKE TRADES AT MEETING
League Adopts Schedule and Banquets =
There Is No Friction and Mag

Spccial Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The star
CHICAGO, Ill. February 15--The an
nual meeting Of the American League was
held here Yesterday in record time. 1t
took Ban Johnson less than two hours to
transact what business he wanted with
the club owners of his league, and every
kind of harmony prevailed during the
short session. The adoption of the sched-
ule for the coming season was the only
business that came up for the consldera-
ton of the members of the organization,
and there was no objection made by any
of the club owners to the allotment OF
dates which had been arranged for them
for the coming summer
The American League has never taken
more than two days for a league meeting
since the organization was started, but
the two-hour session Yesterday was by
far the shortest one that has ever been
held.
The banquet given by the Philadelphia
club in honor of the victory won last
fall from the Cubs was by far more inn
portant than the schedule meeting in
the afternoon. There was nothing but
good cheer at the meeting, but 1t took
more than two hours for those present to
get through with the many courses ana
to listen to all the oratOry that flowed
from the lips of the speakers. Every
member of the league that was here for
the meeting remained over last night for
the feed, for that was the part or the
meeting that every one looked forward
to with the most expectation.
There was no trade talk at all. II any
of the managers had an idea of making
a deal while here he had to give 1t up, as
none of the other managers cared for
anything that he had to offer.
Jimmy McAleer leader of the Washing
ton Nationals, would not have objected to

found some one who was willing to talk
trade to him. but he quit trying after
finding out that there was nothing doing.
trade. but no one seemed to care for any
of his men, and he said that he might as
well quit talking trade President Somers
of the Maps came here with an idea that
he would offer Joe Birmingham in ex-
change for some other good man. but he
could find no one who was willing to give
him the best of it, SO he had to give up
in despair.
The schedule was adopted without a dis
senting voice. The league did not go into
session until o'clock in the afternoon
and the session was over before 6 o'clock
The meeting had been called for o'clock
but President Comiskey of the White Sox
did not show up until 4. and Ban johnson
waited for him. Every one knew what
he was to get in the way Of dates before
the meeting, SO that there was no bick-
erng on that account. There was some
question as to whether the sale of the
st. Louis Browns would be thrashed
over during the meeting. but if it was
there was no discord at ALL for all of the
members came out OF the meeting room
with smile on their faces.
Bob Hedges Will run the ST Louis team
the coming season and for many years to
come. from all appearances at the pres
ent time.
Connie Mack was unable to get away
from last nights banquet. although he
would have liked to keep away from the
banquet table He announced that 1t
was the first annual banquet of it's kind
have been glad to get out Of going to
this one. but he could not we'll do SO.
Uncle Ben Shbe. as the president of the
Athletics. was the host Of the evening
and the veteran made every one feel
that it was worth while being there.
Ban johnson is more optimistic than
ever over the future of his league. The
winning Of the big title is all that he has
wanted for several years to make his cup
Of happiness full to overlooking. Manager
Pat Donovan Of the Red SoX was the sole
representative of the Boston club. Presi-
dent Taylor will be coming through the
city next week with the ball club on its
spring training trip to California.
Hal Chase the new leader Of the High
landers. was happy in making his ueDut as
a manager at league meeting. He arrived
from California just the day before the
meeting and was q busy man comforting
with President Farrell and Scout Irwin.
He announced last night that it looked az
IL the Yankees would have to stand pat
for the season the way they are.
Manager Bobby Wallace was another
manager that made his initial appearance
at this meeting. The Brown leader had
little to say, but was busy all OF the time
talking over the prospects with some one
or another.
Jimmy McAleer was one Of the happest
looking individuals at the gathering. His
winters rest In Youngstown has put him
in grand condition to put the Nationals
through their PAGES at the training camp.
Some one started the report around the
Congress Hotel during the day that Nc
Aleer was going to sign Jimmy Callahan
for his outfield. but McAleer laughed
when asked about 1t. Callahan was with
him q good part Of the day, so that It was

Wise base ball men do not figure the
Pirates such potent contenders next
year for that one reason. Harmony is
lacking in Camp Clarke. and without
harmony success is impossible. Cam
nitz is another member Of the Pirate
crew who is kicking. The same goes
for Johnny Miller. But these two car
be handled a great deal more easily than

REISLING WIRES THAT HE
HAS RETIRED FROM BASE BALL
Veteran Pitcher Says He Is Through With
Game, But Refuses to Give Rea-
sons for Quitting.

Doc Reisling has retired from base ball.
The veteran pitcher OF the Nationals,
whose gameness and willingness to work
for the hest interests of his team made
him one of the most popular men on the
team last season, has probably stood on
the pitchers rubber for the last time.
| In his wire to the sporting editor Of
The Star Reisling says that he does not
care to give any reasons for his retire
| ment. 1t has been stated that his prac-
| tee as a dentist is such that he does
| not think 1t will pay him to leave 1t to
| play base ball during the summer. But
! the fact that he refuses TO give rea-
son for his quitting makes it appear
| that it is not his practice which has de-
| termined him to take the step.
| This is Reislings message:
| Caldwell, Ohio, February Is.
J. Ed. Grilo.
! Washington, D. c.
| Have retired from base ball. Do not
care to give any rea sons
DR. F. c. REISL1NG.
| The retirement Of Reisling is severe
| loss to the Washington club. While not
| a. star Of Walter Johnson's magnitude
| for the reason that his advice to other
| pitchers was invaluable. Walter johnson
was one of those to recognize this fact.
and he frequently stated that he had
learned more about the art of pitching
since Reisling joined the team than he
ever knew before.
| Reisling broke even on victories and de-
feats last year. a showing most creditable
considering the position the team occu-
| pied, and it was not so much his accom-
| plishments as a pitcher as the fact that
he was always willing to pitch, whether
! II was his turn or not. The fans. as well
as Manager McAleer, learned to admire
Reisling and 1t was figured that he would
ho Of ha Seryire the team this
year His absence leaves the pitching
staff in a weaker condition than was an
ticipated, and McAleer must now develop
some pitcher who can take the veterans
place.
No PLAYER who ever wore the uniform
OF the local club leaves it with more well
wishers than Reisling, for an earnest
player is always popular with the pa
irons of the game, and Reisling certainly
was all Of that.

Hedges Called Off Deal.

Again it fell through, and for the same
reasons. 1t was suggested ...dt Mr..
Hedges take notes. He agreed to this,
provided he was given joint note signed
by all the parties. To this Mr. Louis
Hall, who seemed to be the only live one
in the proposed syndicate. objected. He
was perfectly willing to give note to
cover his personal obligation, but he did
not propose to shoulder the obligations
of the others. AS Mr.. Hedges would
not consider any other proposition the
deal was called off
In the meantime Mr.. Hedges is in pos
session of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. for
felt. and no one can question his Legal
right to it. He certainly gave them am
pie time to take up their option. If while
their option was in force some one had
come along and offered him, say. s5O0.O Oo
for his interest in the Browns he could
not have accepted it. But it is a ques.
ton If, under the circumstances, Mr.
Hedges should insist upon his pound OF
flesh If he does it will do the game ir
general no good and may do the Ameri
can League much harm. The introduc
ton of purely commercial methods il

WOULD HURT TO KEEP i

CHICAGO. ILL.,, February 1J-Oficially
the only business transacted by the Amer
lean League magnates yesterday was the
ratification OF the schedule prepared by
President Johnson. Unofficially the time of
the delegates was devoted to thorough
threshing out OF the ST. Louis proposition.
which remains in precisely the same posi-
ton it was before the annual meeting
in New York.
1t will be recalled that at that meeting
Robert Lee Hedges. who owns 62la per
cent of the stock of the ST. Louis Browns
furnished the base ball sensation of years
by announcing that he had secured pur
chasers for his holdings, and that he had
also obtained the consent OF the minority
stockholders to make the deal. Apparent
ly at that time the only thing necessary
to consummate the transaction was for
the American League as body to pass
favorably upon the eligibility Of the gen
tlemen who proposed to take over Mr.
Hedges holdings. Messrs. johnson Far
rell and Comiskey were appointed a COM
mittee to look over the prospective mag
mates, which they did a week or SO after
the meeting. They visited St. Louis, met
the gentlemen and passed favoraby upon
them. So far as the American League
was concerned the deal was closed.
But it appears that while the dicker
was made in perfect good faith on the
part of Mr.. Hedges, the prospective pur-
chasers had really only secured an option
on his holdings. for which they put up
the substantial forfeit of $50, 0Oo the bal
ance of the purchase money, $3O0.ON, to
be paid at date later on. subject, of
course, to the approval Of the league.
When the date arrived for the completion
of the deal it was found that all the gen.
flampn could through moi
part of it. Mr.. Hedges obligingly ex-
tended the time.
