aimed to check the invasion OF the

ton In the west. will make up the

out. Baltimore. Buffalo. Toronto and

With today's session the baseball
magnates concluded their meeting
here.
An increase in the number OF ma
Tor leagues In organized baseball by
the removal Of the draft rule from the
class AA leagues was said to be un-
der consideration by the national COM
mission in its war against the Federal
league. At its meeting today Il was
expected the national commission
would grant the demand of President
X. G. Barrow of the International
leagueland Manager Dunn of the Bal-
t'more club of that organization for
the removal Of the draft rule.
Later on Ban Johnson verified this
statement and went a step farther BY
saving:
The plan to form a third major
LEAGUE is practically consummated."
Meme Of those who were present at
the meeting would consent to name
