The National league held its final
meeting today, when the playing
schedule for this season was to be

the Philadelphia club for $4,000 for
securing Pitcher Eppa Rlxey, but here
after when a club pays an umpire for
such services, the money Is to go into
the league treasury, and not into the
umpire's pocket

that club must also reimburse the
league for the mans services as an

that he believed such payment to the
league was no more than fair when

MyKean at short and Childs at sec.

Mexican was a big. thick-set fellow,
and their work around the keystone,
handling balls and blocking base run

The post-season games In those days
were played between the team that
won the flag and the runner-up, and
Cleveland was always runncr-up.
Many claim that the Orioles of the

however, that the next year Baltimore
