EXISTENCE OF PLOT ID WRECK LEAGUE Dangerous Plot Uncovered at American Association
 Meeting

Chicago, May 26.-Existence of a plot to wreck the American association and form third major league was revealed at a special meeting of the association here today. The meeting was for the purpose of formally cancelling the inter- league series of AS games with the clubs of the International league. The vote for the cancellation was unanimous It was decided to add 42 games to the Amer ican association schedule, increasing it 154 games.
 The plan to disrupt the association was outlined in statement issued by Thomas J. Hickey, president of the organiza- ton. While declining to mention the names of persons alleged to be back of the movement, Hickey said that meet ing of the association club owners would be called in the immediate future, and all members will act in concert to defeat such disrupting efforts"
 Joe Tinker, president and manager of the Columbus club, said he understood the plan for the formation of a third major league included disruption of both the American association and 1nterna- tional league. The four leading cities in each organization were to be selected to make up the new league, he said.
 The club owners pledged themselves to reduce the salaries of high paid players 25 to 50 per cent. Players refusing to accept the reduction will be released, it was announced. Probably a dozen men will be asked to accept a smaller salary.

RECENT RULING OF COMMISSION VITAL Baugh FavOrs Plan of Big Chiefs to Put Ban on the
 Deadly Beanball

President Robert H Baugh of the Southern league is heartily in favor oi the recent action of the national bases ball commission in making it viola tton of the laws of the national pastims for pitcher to be convicted of using the bean ball' The league head stated last night that he will do all in his power 10 enforce the new ruling in ths Southern.
 T do not believe" the chief executive said, that any pitcher in the league would or Is now using the bean ball. The recent ruling has long been needed in baseball and am certainly glad to see the commission take such an impor. tant step"
 The bean ball Is the most dangerous part of baseball. It Is used by pitchers to throw at the batter's head in order to shake his nerves. Often batter is hit in the head and fatal results always foi. low. Johnny Dodge. a Mobile player was killed last year by being hit in ths head by pitched ball.
 Several accusations were made last year by players that number of pitch. CTS were using the deadly ball, but nd complaints have been registered thus faf this season. With permanent disbar4 ment from the national game facing them, pitcher will hardly use the bean ball' method to drive the batters off the plate in games to come. The ma. tional commission should be commended for its action.
