TAFT STILL OWNS
CHICAGO s CUBS
Holds Conference With L. J..
Behan, Representative of
Windy City Syndicate, But
Reaches No Agreement.

Cincinnati. o.. Feb. % - The
Chicago National league club was not
sold Wednesday and the chances OF
its passing into other hands are re-
mote G. ?. Taft and l. J. Behan. the
representative OF the Chicago syndi-
cate. held a short conference. and it
vas not productive or any results.
Mir Taft declined the proposition sub
mitted IN writing by Mr.. Behan con-
tanned conditions which precluded any
agreement being reached. Mr. Behan
left for Chicago Wednesday night and
said he would take up the obnoxious
parts OF the agreement with his
clients and try and have them elimi-
mated
Two OF the clauses in the written
agreement made even the considera-
ton OF a deal impossible Mr.. Taft told
Mr.. Behan. The first one was that
the present owner OF the Cubs should
Immediately take action 10 test the
validity OF the so-called reserve
clause in high court The second
one was that Evers must be restored

Mr.. Taft said that matter was up
20 the league and he could not posi-
bly, give any assurances Of ms being
able 10 carry 10 out
Another clause in the Behan agree
ment provided that there was to be
no syndicate baseball in the National
league. Mr.. Taft passed that over
quickly declaring that as far as he
knew there was no syndicate ball Of
any kind. The Behan parties evident
~ believed that Taft still owned an
interest in the Philadelphia club. The
property passed out of his control
more than a year ago, however
II looked very much tonight as
though all the sO-calIed syndicates be
ing organized in Chicago were being
done with the idea OF getting their
members some free publicity. Some
more responsible parties will have TO
come aiOng than have SO far shown
up or the Cubs will sail under the
Taft banner next season with promi-
nent Chicago man at the helm.
Mr.. Taft has plainly indicated that
he viii not sell the Cubs unless Gov.
Tener and the National league ap-
prove OF the purchasers. In fact it is
believed that ne would leave the
whole matter OF n transfer TO the
president Of the National league. ex-
