Mrs. Booth is Q speaker Of power
and her message brought last night
was one Of pathos and understanding

Mr.. Barrow would not discuss any
plans he may have for territorial

would be made at today's meeting to
transfer franchises to Springfield, Mass,
or Hartford. Conn.
August Hermann. president of the
Cincinnati club. was one of the first
National leaguers to arrive
He said that he thought the time had
