Chicago, April T3.-American assoc

and means for putting the league on a
more solid basis ut an unannounccd
meeting here Saturday. The plan un-
der consideration contemplates placing
the league beyond the power Of an in
dividual member similar To the organi
cation of the American league during
its fight against the National league
and when it was struggling for an
equal voice in the government of base
ball.
Such a scheme involves the placing
of a majority of the stock of the club
all around leases and property rights
in the hands Of a trustee. The Amcri-
can league gave sole authority 10
President Johnson. Whether the ASSOC
citation will bestow the same power on
President Chivington could not be
