New York. Dec. 11.-Basebal mag
mates representing the National and
International Leagues and American
Association assembled in this city to-
day for o series Of conferences which
are expected to continue most Of the
week. The International League began
its annual meeting shortly after noon
with q conference with committees ap-
pointed to represent the American AS
ISOLATION relative to series Of inter-
league games at the end Of the regu-
lar pennant season. The National
League is not scheduled to convene in
annual meeting until tomorrow after
noon but majority of the club own
ers were on hand tonight, prepared for
what is expected to be a conference of
more than usual Importance
Many subjects Of considerable base
ball interest were discussed informal
ly by the big league magnates. One of
the chief topics was a proposed change
in the rules governing the worlds Sc
ries.
Several of the nlagnates expressed
the opinion that radical changes would
be adopted by the National League
and submitted to the American League
for ratification. Garry Hermann
chairman Of the National Baseball
Commission and president Of the Gin
cinnati club. stated that he was heart
lily In favor Of playing the 1917 series
under an entirely different system.
Herman said he advocated series
based upon the winning of Ave out of
nine games, lower prices of admission
and the distribution Of a portion of
the plavers' share Of the receipts
among members of the second. third
and fourth teams in the order of their
finish at the close OF the pennant
races. He said he believed that with
the series heightened there would be
greater opportunity for the fans from
all parts Of the country to witness the
NAV and admission charges could be
lowered without lessening the aggre-
gate receipts.
The National League heads also ex-
messed considerable surprise at tho
action of the International Leaeue To-
day in refusing to abide by the ae-
cision of the National Commission
which ordered the Newark Interna-
tional League Club to pay $4,000 TO tne
