other club owners would object to
their meal ticket being cancelled.
Bradley made an offer of $4,000 for
Il clear field, and further agreed to
surrender the club. with the privilege
of It's being placed in any other Vir-
ginia city. This also carried with the
agreement the players under reserva-
tion-in other words, the offer amounts
to about so0.00o-the valuation of the
franchise belng $4,000. and $4,000 in
cash.
AS stated in The Times Dispatch yes
terday. Richmond has outgrown It's
infant baseball apparel. and the
fans of the city showed In no
undecided fashion last season that
c league. and the opportunity is
now Mt hand to secure better grade
or baseball in an organization whose
cities rank In size and population with
Richmond.
The International League officials
meet tonight, and it is likely that the
session will be carried over Into to-
morrow. Many important matters will
be UP for discussion, and the disposal
or Jersey City and Baltimore franchises
will be decided upon.
One Topic Yesterday.
The prospect OF better baseball for
Richmond was the ono topic OF con-
versation among the lovers of the ma
tional game yesterday, and the opinion
expressed was got the International
League here, and Richmond will have
one of tho biggest seasons In its his
tory.
The matter of better baseball was
not tho only feature that appealed TO
tho public; advertising the city was
also talked about by the supporters of
the game, and IL was the united opinl ion
mat Richmond would receive consid-
PruDln attention in ntt
especially. as Jack Dunn would have
entire charge, and Il credtable organ
ization would tour the circuit.
Dunn. when reached over the long
distance telephone last night. Just be-
fore he left for New York, said that
he would rather locate in Richmond
man IN Syracuse. or any other city
and IL the way Is cleared for his team
he would put club In this city that
would be a credit. not only to the Com
monwealth. but to the league. and one
that would be at the top lighting

NATIONAL LEACuERs
ASSEMBLE TOMORROW
Many Important Questions Come UP
for Attention-To Plan for War
Against the Federals.
MAY ADOPT AMERICANS IDEA
Resolution to Reduce Number Of
Players Carried by Each Club
Likely to Be Passed-Welsh Is a
Hard Worker.

Tho National League magnates will
assemble at the Waldorf-Astorla to-
morrow for their annual meeting. and
many important questions will be
threshed out before they adjourn. which
probably will not be until Thursday
evening. Their annual meeting gem
orally lasts only about two days, but
there arc more problems to be tackled
this time than at any other time in the
leagues history; hence the extra day.
few weeks ago the program mapped
out for this meeting had as it's piece
dc resistance work on Il peace plan.
Now the main thing Is work on war
plan. Considerable change! The peace
pact was all ready to go through a
month ago. when Owner weeghman.
OF tho Chicago Feds, fell Gown on the
requirement OF posting $4,000 cash
to bind the sale OF the Cubs to him
the first step in the carrying out Of
the truce deal-and since then all
leagues have been mending their fences
and trenches for the purpose OF fight
ing as best they can during the COM
Ing season.
American League Ideas Up.
Several American League ideas are
up before the moguls of the Tener
circuit for consideration, and all are
practically certain to be approved at
the coming meeting. The most i'm
portant OF these Is the cutting OF the
number of players 4 club is allowed to
carry during the season. This plan
Is for double purpose. 1t Will do
crease the size OF the salary lists, for
ono thing, thereby leaving larger
percentage OF profit to the club owners.
That Is the only reason announced by
Ban Johnson for putting through the
scheme, but, as matter OF fact, he
has a much more important reason for
advocating it. The cutting down OF the
number of mon allowed in the big
leagues Will leave more good players
for the minor leagues. which. there
fore. will be able to offer n better grade
OF baseball. and consequently make n
greater appeal to the fans for paying
patronage This. indeed, Is the big
gest part Of tho major leagues effort
to appease the minors and keep them
from breaking away and Joining hands
with the Federal League.
Tener's Men Sure to Vote Yes
Governor Tener's associates are
ton, rs they also will do on tho mat
ter OF frightening the worlds series to
best six out OF eleven games, instead OF
four out of seven, as the arrangement
has been for number OF years. They,
however, Will not sanction a large cut
in the prices of admission to the Sc
ries games, which Johnson announced
some time was his plan. 1t can be
stated positively that the scale OF prices
Will be less than % per cent under the
former grade. The National League
men in and about New York have been
sounded on the proposition. and opine
that 1t would be better to leave the
price nearly UP to the old mark. for
