Barrow True to Colors.
President Ed @. Barrow Of the Inter-

wilderness. After that he may avail
himself of an opportunity to graduate to
the ranks Of the major magnates.
II went to CLEVELAND to confer with
Ban johnson on matters Of great moment
to the International League" said Mr..
was not in a position to bid for the
Cleveland club.
II shall continue at the head Of the
International League he said, "and
have every reason to believe that the
coming season will prove more successful
than the past. though even on that there
Is no complaint from my colleagues. I
think we have safely passed the worst
part OF the road"
The annual meeting Of the 1nterna-
tional League will be held this afternoon
at the Hotel McAlpin. The International
League president would not discuss his
proposed plans OF possible territorial
changes. He said the public would have
to await the result OF official action on
the part Of his colleagues. 1t Is known
that Hartford and Springfield would well
come representation in Glass AA base
ball and that the Richmond nnd Harris
burg franchises are available. Whether
or not Barrow has been able TO exert
overcome the objection of the New Eng
land League remains to be seen.
