Jack Dunn's strenuosity in opposing
the interleague series between Inter
national and American Association
teams as a post-season feature stirred
up so many arguments yesterday that
the Barrow league magnates had to.
adjourn until today. without reach
Ing a decision. The magnates. who
met at the Hotel Victoria, New York.
were in session four hours Yesterday
during which time the proposed series :.
was the man topic of conversation.
The Newark and Jersey City clubs s
favor the scheme, but some of the
other clubs which at first boosted the
affair grew less enthusiastic when the -
details were discussed from every
angle. The main objection, according
TO a majority of the club presidents.
is the long trip each team would have
to take, jump that might keep club
away from home forty days.
In the event that these jumps were
split up, so that half of the teams
from each of the organizations would
play in the towns of the opposing =
league,. 1T is feared that the Jumps :.
would be SO much greater and the ex-
penses so much higher that the
scneme would be unfeasible. Presilosi
cent Edward G. Barrow declared after
the meeting that unless the American"
association teams were willing to play
the first string of games in the Inter
national League, the project would
probably have to be dropped %

problem OF adopting a schedule, even :,
should the series be decided upon, !
will be decidedly difficult. IN
In addition, it is rumored that the
International League chapter of thee '
Baseball Players Fraternity will ask IA
Tor a share in the receipts If such AS
series Is staged. This is another of
the drawbacks. Jack Dunn also con, .
tends that the players would lose In =
terest in the games and that the
games would be more or less on tha-a
order of burlesque and exhibition
affairs. M
Aside from the inter-league plans,
the main business transacted at yes-fo

Briefly summed up the Interna-
tional League managers looking to do
business were anxious to secure play
ers as follows at yesterdays meet =

Manager Bill Clymer, of Buffalo.
wants q new first baseman He has
George Mcconnell but he also needs
pitchers and thinks that George, who
is crack first saclxer, is worth more
as a boxman than as a first saclker.
C1yner hoped to get Paddock for the
position, so that he could try him
out last fall, but CAMEL reneged and
Clymer is not sure that Paddock; for :
merly of the Eustlers, will fill the
bill as a Bison first basemau.
The Rochester club will receive a =
majority. of the HArplus players vast
off by the Boston Nationals. Manassr
George Stallings and John Ganzel,f
the Hustler leader, were in close con- +
sultation for a long time.
Camel finally announced that hea.'
had obtained Gowdy, the blond-haired
catcher, who was taken from Buffalo
by Boston, and Schultz. also q light
haired athlete recalled from Toronto. E
Schultz made an excellent impression
In the spring, but when he broke his
leg he slowed up on the bases and
looked rather bushy. Camel thinks
he will be star this year. He ise

obtain two pitchers from Boston, but =
both are young and inexperienced -
and the deal Is more or less cover
up, according to good authority. =
