over Hendrix. He has asked time to con-
slider the matter and is expected to
ask Branch Hickey, president of the
Cardinals, for favors for the Indianap-
oils club if Hendrix is released. No la
ter than yesterday McGill was sitting
tight refusing to let Hendrix leave the
Indians. McGill now is paying Hendrix
salary of $4,000 year with Is per
cent bonus for pennant winning clubs.
McGill and Hendrix have been asso-
ciated ever since McGill broke into
baseball. Back in the days when Spring
field of the Central league was in con-
troll of McGill, Hendrix was there and
when McGill bought the Denver club
of the eWstern league, Hendrix was
made manager. Winning Western league
pennants became habit with Hendrix
and when McGill purchased the Indian
apolis club Hendrix went along. In
three years, Hendrix has been in In
dianapolis he has won one pennant-
this year.
At the end of the season he led his
team in a post-season series against
Toronto, pennant winners in the Inter
national league, and won. 1t is conf
dently believer here that Hendrix will
get the management of the club, for it
is not considered McGill will stand in
the way of his manager stepping into
the big league position, even with the
prospect of a new third league JOB
waiting.
And in the matter of new league, to
embrace four cities of the American
Association and four of the Information
al league, it was declared here today
that the new organization is practical
cinch.
The Western league, whose territory
would be invaded in the new align
ment of clubs, has given a taclt consent
to the arrangement, which would place
four of its best clubs in new American
Association. With the changes that shal
then become necessary, it ls altogether
probable that the Three-I league will
be made over into stronger organlza-
ton.
Among American Association and In
ternational clubs the subject IS prac-
ticallv taboo, but it has become known
the agreement has been ratified to a
great extent.
War conditions and other drains on
purse strings have brought parting OF
bank account and owner for many mag
mates. Eleven leagues are all that can
survive if present plans with regard 20

National association, are carried out
The matter is very near head today,
with prospect that things wlll come
