BY DENMAN THOMPSON.

It develops that Clark Grinth's OBJ
ject in attending the gathering OF base
ball moguls in Louisville Is not merely
to sound out rival managers regarding
new talent for his 1918 Nationals and to
keep abreast of the situation by being
on the scene Of the most momentous
base ball meeting Of a decade. The
pilot Of tho local club has made the trip
partly in his capacity as citizen of
Washington, actuated by motives OF
civic betterment, to endeavor to have
Washington selected by the National
Association OF Professional Base Ball
Leagues as its meeting place for 1918
What convention of this kind would
mean for the capital may be gathered
from the fact that approximately 700
cities Of the United States and Canada
are represented In the association.
Meeting here it is believed that upward
of 1000 base ball officials and others
connected with the game would be at
tracted to Washington for period Of
from three days to week.
Griffith will meet with considerable
competition in his effort to have Wash
ington officially designated for the next
annual confab of the association. how
ever, as three other cities are in the
field with offers to play host to the base
ball men-Newark. N. j.: PEORIA Ill,
and Springfield. Mass.-and the local
pilot will have to employ his well
known oratorical ability and work his
engaging smile overtime in order to
win over majority Of the delegates
1t is aassured that lobbying on a whole
sale scale is being carried on today in
Louisville, where the opening seS-ion of
the minor league magnates Is being held.
me meeting yesterday of the American As
ISOLATION clubowners was adjourned until
tomorrow without any action being taken
on the suggestion of President McGill of
the Indianapolis club that a new circuit
be formed, this project being contingent
on the outcome of the proposal to redis-
trict certain territory Of the minor leagues
Whether this will be done is for the dele
gates to the association meeting to de-
eide and it is certain that Wathen, Nc
Gill and Bresnahan, who had the clubs
anxious to secede and join forces with
four International League clubs will work
lndustrlously to line up the delegates in
favor OF the proposition. It is equally
certain that President Hickey and the
Kansas City and Minneapolis franchises
which are not to be included in the pro-
posed new wheel, will bring to bear all
the influence they can muster in opposi-
ton to the scheme
The fact that most of the small minor
league men. who form a large majority
OF the membership in the association,
are convinced that some radical steps
viii have to be taken to inject new in
teret into the game nj tho sticks to
save 1t from temporary extinction, and

OPPOSES EMBARGO ON GRAVEL.
England Wants Open Transit Across
Holland for Belgian Road Building.

Cab1egram to The Evening Star and

THE HAGUE, Holland. November 49,
From a well informed source 1t is
learned that England Is not going to
be satisfied with the Netherlands gov
enrments declaration denying the
transit across Holland of sand and
gravel for Belgium during a speci-
fed period. 1t Is declared that the
Dutch statement that "as the material
in Belgium Is now sufficient for road
mending the transport Of sand and
gravel Is to be prohibited from Novem-
Der Is to March Is" Is insufficient and
that Immediate prohibition will be
necessary.
1t is reported in Dutch newspapers
that England has consented to arbi-
trate the matter, but there is no off,
ciaI confirmation.
