New York. March I9-Minor league

interest the outcome Of the meeting
of the International League. sched-
uled to be held in this city on Mon
day. March %. The conference will
be the second since the annual meet
ing of h league was adjourned late
in December. 1t is expected hat at
the coming session the club owners
will recide definitely whether the or
ganization will continue its circuit
during the season of 1918 or abandon
play for the duration Of the var Such
evidence as is available in advance
would appear to indicate that the
league will operate this number.
Several Of the club n have
clearly intimated that they are OPP
posed to a continuation of play I'M

ready to back baseball for another
season at least, but just which side
will hold the majority vote cannot be

A decision on the part of. the In
ternational League to drop out would
he a severe blow to organized base
pioneers among the minor leagues
and a steady and important factor
in the development Of the game and
of players for major league circuits
The league was organized in 1892 and
continued without a break until the
close of h 1917 season. During the
initial year a two-season schedule
was played but since 1898 the pen.
nant ace has been along the lines Of
the majors.
Providence with six championship
remnants to it's credit leads all thu
cities. which have at various time:

Buffalo and Toronto are tied will

Syracuse. Springfield. Montreal, Jer

example set by the Internationa
League owners. Tn to the presen

schedules for 1918.
Even under the most favorable con
ditions it is not expected that Their

some twenty-three leagues opene

seventy-five per cen played throug
