League TO be held in Baltimore
next Monday has been sent to every
Eastern League club by President FL
Barrow. He expects that every club
will be represented. and says that ne
has of six clubs to that
effect.
President Chivington, of the Ameri-
car Association, is expected to be pres
ent, and the committee picked by the
Eastern League magnates at the De-
cenber meeting to investigate and dis
cuss a plan to make a concerted appli-
cation for reclassi1cation with the
American Association will make it's
official report.
The meeting is to be called at II
O'Clock on Monday morning, and will
probably last until the following noon.
Jack Dunn plans to accommodate his
fellow officials at the Hotel Rennert,
where the meeting win be held. and at
the Belvidere. He has arranged a thea
tire party, an auto trip n a dinner at
the Baltimore clubs expense.
President Ed Barrow says he has had
assurances from the following mag
mates and managers that they will be
present: Joe Kelley and President Nc
Caffrey, of the Toronto club; President
Charles T. Chaplin, of Rochester; (John
Camel is not eXpected) President Sam
Lichenheim and Director Cushing, of
the Montreal club, and President Jacob
Stein and possibly George Stallings, of
Buffalo. The Providence and Jersey
City clubs have not been heard from
but supposedly will be represented.
Joe McGtinnity, Secretary Frank J.
McTague and local newspaper men will
be the party from Newark, leaving the
Market street station of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad at $3.50 o'clock on Mon
day morning.
Charley Dooley. Larry Schlaiy's part
ner and nalf owner of the Troy New
York State League club, paid Joe Nc
Ginnity an informal visit at the head
quarters of the Newar club yesterday
afternoon. Dooley did not ask for any
players, according to Secretary Frank
McTague.
Dooley says that his club is in a
position now to. get along without Larry
Schlaf1y's services as a second base
man, but, of course, he would like to
see Larry get his release in order thai
he may devote his entire time to the
Troy clubs interests. Dootey believes
that liz HIS ii WlIlIltT anu OH paper MS
team looks sood.
Joe McGinnity says now that the
main reason why he is sore on Larry
Schlafy is because Larry double
crossed him. Larry was to get Third
Baseman Bill Bradley, who was a free
agent. for Newark, but instead of that
Larry is said to have signed Bradley
for the Toronto club; perhaps in the
deal whereby he got Eddie Mcdonald,
Catcher Vandegrift and Sammy Smith
for Troy. Last fall Joe would have
allowed Larry to go for $500; now he
wants 1000.
Newark fans are kicking because O
McGinnity does not go out get a
bunch of big league c~astoffs the same
as o Kelley did. yet the Toronto fans
are kicking n the spa are
rappfng Joe Kelley because he got such
men as Tim Jordan. Eddie Phelps and
Bill Bradley, all of them going back.
They are yelling for new blood in To-
ropto. Might be q good idea for the
Newark knockers to move out to To-
ronto and the Toronto knockers to
come to Newark. Joe McGinnity is
game. however, and though he reads
the RIOTERS column every night. he
never W1nceS. Il asked Tor KNOCKS as
well as boosts says Joe. land l am
willing to take 'em. 1t is a good thing
for a nan to be banned 1t makes him
realize that he is not the whole show"
Frank Dessau. the former Baltimore
and Brooklyn pitcher, has signed with
Rochester.
Ed Barrow, president of the Eastern
League, said to q STAR reporter: 81
see that some of the newspapers are
roasting me for not keeping Umpire
byron. He was a good man, I do not
deny that, but 1t was hard for him to
see the balls and strikes behind a
catcher like Ben Egan. He used to
make me laugh when I saw him try
ing to look through Ben's arms to get
a delivery Byron is a bit conceited,
too, and a trifie too off1cious.
Billy Smith wants Jack White for his
Chattanooga club. He has little chance
of landing White, 1t is said. as several
other clubs have already asked for
White and made offers for him.
