ISOLATION of Professional

Annual Meeting Begins To-

Leagues of the Country
Will Be Fixed.

Louisville. Ky, Nov. 13.-The well
advertised buck is the personal and
andisputed property today of the Ma
iional Association of Professional
Baseball leagues.
The aforesaid marker was passed
when the American association sur
rived it's meeting without taking any
action on the proposed merger of the
American association and Information
nj league clubs. The association is
aow standing on it's meeting, just
where it left off, waiting for the mat
ter to be brought up by the association
At its annual meeting, which begins
today.
Ed Barrow, president of the Inter-
national league, hit Louisville last
night and he brought with him his par
eel of plans for the redistricting of the
minors. Ed is heart and soul in favor
Of the plan. which as matter of fact
had its origination with him doing Il
large part of the heavy work. He be-
tieves it will be the salvation of minor
league baseball and in this has the
support of most of the club owners who
make up his circuit.
INTERNATIONAL FOR IT.
1t is rumored in Louisville that full
co-operation has been absolutely made
certain of in the International league.
The Rochester club is scheduled to be
placed in the New York state league,
according to the gossips and Provi
dence will be turned over to the East
ern league.

American association is unalterably set
against any plan for reorganization,
because it means the disruption of his
circuit. He is here to preserve that
circuit and present indications are he
will stick until forced out. He already
has stirred the wrath of those Ameri-
can association club owners who IA
vor the amalgamation of the two cir
cults. He with a handful of his club
owners, are standing in the way OF the
redistricting idea. The association
will meet again tomorrow, at which
time the question is expected to be
brought up again.
The association magnates had ses-
sion that lasted three hours yesterday.
When they emerged Hickey made afre
assertion that the members had TAX en-
stiiree hours to discuss the matter of
.utting expenses by reducing the player
limit and had reached a tentative
agreement to shorten the season to l4O
games. 1t probably will open May /.
Today Hickey predicted some settle
ment probably will be reached regard
ing the subject.
MAY INCLUDE MILWAUKEE.
II is now believed that Milwaukee
will be included in the merger of
American association and International
league clubs, taking the place of Co
iumbus. Joe Tinker. president of the
Columbus club, has been riding the
fence ever since he came to Louisville
leaning first this way and then that.
He sNreanced with no show of uneas-
lne~ss that he was ready to fall either
way-grab the new league as 1t goes
by or stock with the American asso-
citation. His sympathies appeared to
be conferred on retaining the American
association organization, so he has
been dropped.
The Western league stands ready to
ratify the changes. Des Moines, Lin
coin, st. Joseph and Omaha would be
taken into new American association
organisation and this would be decid-
sdIy interesting for their treasures.
Changes as fast as Kaleidoscope
view are being made in the baseball
map by the gossips. Some of them
have q basis OF foundation. Others
have not. A rumor passed around yes
terday that Baltimore and Kansas City
would be taken into the big leagues
xhis ~as taken with the usual grain
