Annual National League Meet.

NEW YORK, December 14.-Develop-
ments of unusual interest are expected
from the annual meeting of club own
ers and officials of the National League.
beginning here today. In addition to
the regular routine. such as the ap-
pointment of a schedule committee and
the reading of the annual reports of
subcommittees, several radical pro-
posals are likely to be advanced for
the consideration of the magnates.
Charles H. Ebbets, president of the
Brooklyn club. will advocate the short
ening of the league season by cutting
one week from each end of the pres
ent schedule while retaining the same
number of games that have been
played in the last few years. Presi-
dent James E. Gaffney will lay before
his fellow magnates a plan for the
seasonal assignment of umpires along
the same lines that the clubs are
scheduled to play in routine order
throughout the entire circuit.
The meeting Is likely to continue for
two or three days, and during that time

The intercollegiate basket ball sea
son is due to start here tomorrow, two
games being scheduled. Up on the
hilltop the Georgetown quint will have
as its opponent the team representing
Mount ST. Joseph's College. and out at
Kendall Green the Baltimore City Col
lege is to appear against Gallaudet.
Georgetown is expecting to win from
Mount st. Josephs, but is looking for
great deal more opposition than
usual. The Baltimoreans are said to
be strong this season, with two or
three very good individuals in their
lineup. No lineup for the game has
been announced at Georgetown, but
two or three members of last years
quint are sure to be in the list
Gallaudet ought to win from City
College by a big score. The Kendall
Greeners ran up many points against
the Marylanders last season, and the
local institution should be represented
by a much more capable combination
than it then was. 1t would not be a
surprise If Gallaudet wins by fifty
points or more-in fact, 1t will be more
surprising If 1t fails to pass the half
century mark in it's count.

been a great bout by his fondness for
cinching, in which he INDUCED himself
freely.
In the last three rounds Murphy. hop
ing to rush through Welsh's guard, went
right after his man in slashing style.
Freddy was always ready for him, but
those rallies by Murphy forced the Eng
lishman to fight back hard. and the bout
ended with Murphy making whirlwind
finish, with Welsh clinching and holding
In the first round Murphy was eau
tious, and Welsh was over him all the
time. In the second Welsh continued
his offensive and handed out a few wal
lops and then tied Murphy up in a clinch-
In that round Welsh's lip was cut slight
ly. In the third Murphy started things
by forcing Welsh to the ropes, but Freddy
continued to smile. That was Murphy's
best round. In the fourth Welsh con-
tinued to clinch after dealing out few
punches at short range. In the fifth
Murphy started out to slug for keeps
and larded hard several times. but Welsh
danced away and returned with jabs that
cut Murphy's mouth. Murphy continued
to rush things in the sixth. and put some
life into the milling. for Welsh had to
work hard to hold him off. and then, get

punches.

feet last week is erroneous. he says.
, The advance talk of trading and ex-
| change of players is greater this year
than usual in the American League
| and 1t seems reasonable to suppose
I that there will be number of big
deals pulled off before the end of the
week.
| The Cleveland club will not be sold
/ during the meeting if the information
around base ball headquarters today Is
correct. Ban Johnson will have to
make another trip to the Forest city
before he can get everything lined-up
the way he wants it. Charlie Somers
will be here for the meeting, 1t is ex-
pected, and 1t is possible that Ray
Chapman will be put on the block dur
! ing the meeting. If he is there will be
a great scramble of the managers to
land him. Col. Rupert is willing to
do some lively bidding for the fast In
dian. and Charlie Comiskey also Is
likely to raise the figures once or twice
himself
The big trades of the meeting. if
there are any, will be made by the

pretty well satisfied with what he has.
Connie Mack is not looking for any
stars. Hughie Jennings doesn't seem
to think that he can improve much on
the Tigers by trading.
Griff is not very optimistic about his
proposition of passing a law to prevent
sales being made in the league In the
future being adopted. There are so
many of the clubs looking for strength
that he does not believe the time Ia
ripe to put over such law. He already
has talked to several of the magnates,
but he has been given no encourage
ment to think that they will vote for
it. Ban johnson is not inclined to
favor such a rule just now either. as
he wants to see some strengthening
done in New York. There Is disposi-
ton to help out the New York team
this wear because of the threatened in
vasion of the Federal League. Although
the American League is paying little
attention to anything that is going on
in the outlaw circuit, it is not wise
thing to allow it to get chance to put
in a strong opposition to the Yankees
unless the Yanks also are strong.

for the services Of J. Franklin Baker,
the home run Swatter."
Grif expects to meet Branch Hickey
/ of the Browns today and have long
talk with him about trades. Hickey
has announced that he is coming hsre
to get both Gandil and Ainsmith, if he
possibly can. Griff wants to get rid of
these two men, also Morgan ana Boeh-
ling, but he wants to get full value for
them in playing strength. Hitters is
what he is after, he says, and for good
hitters he is willing to bid high. Jack
Fournier would be just the kind of a
swatter he would like to land, but the
CARDS do not seem to run right for him
to land the big Frenchman. Manager
Clarence Rowland will be willing to
let go of the big fellow if he can get
good third baseman or a whirlwind
pitcher. Griff does not have the kind
Of material he is looking for, so there
does not seem to be much of a chance
for them to come together
There still is a chance for the White
Sox to land Fritz Maisel. even though
denials have come from the New York
end of it. Col. Rupert Is angling for
Baker. and he finds that there is lot
of opposition to his going to New York
on the part of Comiskey. If he can
get the famous third-sacker he will
be willing to do something for the
Sox, no doubt.

would find place for both Maisel and

weaker clubs. and If Baker is sold, he
should go TO the New York team, where

Then Col. Rupert was asked II he
would trade Maisel for Jack Fournier.
