PRESIDENT MINOR
GOES TO MEETING
Head of Local Club to Attend
Ban Johnson's
COnCIave.
WORLD TOURISTS GET
$1,000 PER GAME
Latest Trade Rumor Sends
Zimmerman of Cubs to
New York Giants.
BY J. ED GRILLO.

Manager Griffith reiterated this MORN
ing that he has no intention of attend
ing the American League meeting in Chi
cago Thursday. He will. however. go
to the National League meeting in New
York i'm December. while it is the in
tention of President Ben Minor to go
to Chicago to represent the Washing
ton club.
Griffith figures that there will be little
doing in which he, as representative of
the playing end of the club, can be in
terested at the Chicago meeting, hence
he believes that President Minor should
attend alone.
While Griffith. of course, has no inter
est in National League legislation, he
hopes to come in contact with several
of the club owners and make an effort
to consummate a deal which will bene-
fit his team.

source that the two ball teams have a
guarantee of 81 600 for every game, with
privilege of 40 per cent of the gross
receipts. II such is the case there should
be enough money in the fund by the time
the party reaches Vancouver to pay the
entire expenses of teh trip, which was
the original plan.
Something like thirty-five games are to
be played before the teams board a
steamer for the orient, and. that should
defray the expenses of the trip even
though the games in foreign countries
