OF President Thomas J. Hickey of the
American association to either deny or
confirm reports to the effect that the
Indianapolis. Toledo and Louisville
clubs are to withdraw from the asso-
citation. and affiliate with certain In
ternstional league clubs, lends color
to stories that formation OF a "ba by"
major league Is being contemplated.
1T Is true that we have been dis
cussing plans to be carried out in the
event of withdrawal by these clubs.
but announcement relative to these
plans now would be premature,
Hickey is quoted as saying. II only
care to say that II the club owners OF
Louisville. Toledo and Indianapolis
have decided to secede. as reported, 1t
is only proper that we should be pre-

In addition to the three association
clubs mentioned the cities which are
spoken of as spokes in the new wheel
are Colum bus. also a member of the
association. and the Buffalo, Newark,
Baltimore and Toronto clubs OF the
International league. More ,ecently
the report that Chicago and Detroit
