UA6tU2li appears 10 nave NIttu
itself In announcing the possibility Of a
third major league. Club owners Of the
Pacific coast circuit say they will demand
the highest classification II draft exemp-
tion Is given the two Class IA associa-
tions. Chivington and his American As

posed TO breaking chat body apart. Re-
ports from Ban johnson in Chicago and
Barney Dreyfuss In Pittsburg intimate
that the latest scheme TO kill the Federals
through overbaseballing the public may
never be put into practise.
Johnsons change OF heart ae very dim
cult to understand by those who talked
with him Sunday in this city. Al that
time the American League president de-
clarsd that the third major was az good
as started already.
1T will be in the field all in good
time" said Ban. But do not ask me for
any OF the particulars The matter Is In

Will carry on the diplomatic negotia-
tons"

traordinary Barrow was closeted for sew
eral hours with August Hermann, chair

sion has the matter under advisement. as
was decided two days ago. So far As
know there II absolutely no reason for
any ono TO say whether there shall or
shall not be a third major league. To my
knowledge nothing has developed within
the past forty-eight hours"
Barrow was about as communicative ~
the Sphinx after he quilted his audience
with the National Commission chairman.

he. "Nr. Hermann and myself talked Of
a number Of matters Informally. Abso-
luteiy 10 hitch has developed among the

think the third major league as much a
certainty as when IT was decided upon
Saturday. The National Commission did
not take ffnal action at that time. But so
far as ] know there has boon no change
OF heart on the part OF any OF the Ma
tional Commission members or the major
league club presidents
In his very limited remarks President
Barrow minated very strongly that he
believed Il third major league would be In
the field at the beginning of 1915 " the
federals continued the war that long.
Barrow would not discuss the personnel
OF the Eastern division Of the new league
to be made up entirely from Interna-
tional League teams.
II do not care 10 think about Il just
now. let alone discuss the matter" said he.
There Is plenty OF time between now and
next April. but not enough TO Justify I'M
necessary troubles that might arise
through premature talk"
Barrow said no had not given any
thought as yet to the reconstruction OF
the international League. which will be
necessary II four Of his franchises are
drafted to form third major.

peared from Chicago after playing one
game with the Buffalo Federals. II lie
believed the two American League de-
serters are trying to dodge service In
injunction proceedings that have been
started by Charles Comiskey and Frank
Farrell. The president of the New York
Americans went to the Windy City Sat.
urday to invoke the law against Schulz.
Comiskey and Farrell both declared In
Chicago yesterday that Chase and Schulz
