There was a conference in the Put
nam & Thruston restaurant yesterday
IaGternoon btween Messrs. Burkett,
kOgDonneI1 and McHa1e. The latter,
who acted as agent for the team and
assumed all responsibilities when he
said all OF the outstanding debts of
the club recently, explained his side
of the recent, deal and told the former
club officials that his decision with
regard to the sale Of the club to
Brewer was final. Just what passed
during the conference Is not known,
but both O'Donnen and Burkett were
not in a CHEEKY mood after the ses-
sion.
Both men deny that the club has
been sold and have told friends that
they will fight to a finish unless ar
rangements are made satisfactory to
them It appears that they are dis
pleased with the recent action of
agent McHa1e. 1t is presumed that
the reason both officials refrain from
speaking is because they believe that
Mr.. McHale will change his plans and
do what they think is best. They
have recommended couple Of men
who are anxious to buy the team, SO
they say, and are willing to pay a

McHale is not iconceding any points

the friction ali the worse and leads

trouble IS brewing with another fight

New York, Feb. 18.-An idea. of the

the international league had pared the
limit down from $4,000 a month to only
