men will be called today to the crltlcai
condition of John B. Day. once the
owner of the Giants. who saved organ

Barney Dreyfuss. owner of the Pitts
burgh Pirates. will formally declare
war on August Hermann in the Ma
tional League meeting today. but his

of the other magnates. Dreyfuss Will
air a long list Of grievances He in

he declares he received raw deal from
Hermann. He also has charges to file
against several club owners, and. 1t is
said. he intends to indulge in personal
attack on at least two magnates. who

loans. In short. Dreyfuss is ready to
stir up lot of trouble if his colleagues
will let him. There is much i'll feeling
in the National League and as soon as
Dreyfuss opens fire there'll be plenty of
opposition.
While there is not much probability OF
any trades of importance being made at
Chicago. where the American League
goes into session tomorrow, the National
League clubs are going to be decidedly
busy in this respect, according to reports
emanating from the New York meeting.
Without exception, every one of the
managers of the old league is anxious to
figure in some kind of trade or deal.
and it is not unlikely that a lot of these
transactions will be consummated during
the present confab of the National League
magnates.
There is to be a special effort made to
bolster the western part of the circuit.
Cardinals. Cubs, Pirates and Reds all
need strengthening and are anxious to get
players which their rivals are willing to
part with.
Miller Higgins is willing to give much
for Outfielder Carey of the Pirates, while
Pat Moran and other managers also have
irons in the fire.

1t was only during the past two years

ability. He has played in every posi-
