said Johnson. Chance refused sew

simple reason that he wanted Zeider

had his choice OF at least six men on
the Chicago club and picked Zeider

playing regularly with the Sox up to

trade was withheld a day SO that
Zeider could play the Sunday game on

at the time and it was necessary to
keep Zeider here.
zeider played with New York 70:
several days after the trade, so his

men. The nearest approach was the
quoted remark of President Ebbets of
the Brooklyn club that something of
the sort had been discussed.
The idea as outlined would be to
provide continuous baseball in the
cities mentioned, and thereby prevent
any outlaw organization from getting
patronage sufficient to give it a strong
foothold, which might enable 1t to
develop eventually into an outlaw
major league. 1t is believed that cap
ital for outlaw undertakings would be
rather difficult to find if such a plan
were put in force. Its adoption would
of course involve the dropping of sew
eral cities now in the International
and American association circuits,
substituting the major league cities
now occupied by a single club.
