Minors Want Radical Changes
Mr. Farrell would not say how the
National Association stood on the mat

minor league body is desrous of radi-

League majority, it would appear Now

Secret Session Last Night
By w. J. Macbeth

The old baseball pot started simmer
ing yesterday and by this afternoon
she should be boiling over Coincidcnt
ith the arrival of most Of the delegates S
Of the international League for to-
days meeting at the Imperial Hotel
the bigger fish began to put in an
appearance for the National League
conclave, which gets under way at the
BlltmOre tomorrow. And even as
carly as to-day something may drop in
the big ring that will put the Inter
national in the shade temporarily, even
though John Farreil's circuit has the
stage by schedule.
From the very most reliable sources
it was learned that a secret caucus of
the anti-Eerrmann clement OF the par
ent major was held last night at the
Biltmore Hotel. And, further it was
said that this faction had five of the
eight votes lined up, with two parties
to be heard from. All the delegates
save Hermann had arrived last night.
and all were supposed to have attended
the meeting. 1t could not be learned
whether or not Chcagos representa-
tives were on hand. Nor was it known
who would represent Boston, as the
status Of that club is in rather mys-
tifying state at present.

The international League is bound
to so arrange its affairs as to proceed
IN 1919, in the opinion OF President
Farrell. This new organization had a
tough FIGHT against great odds last
season, but Weathered the gale, never
theless, the only minor league club to
do so. The territory was a most valu-
able one before The war and before
the Federal League invasion. and it is
not proposed to Vacate it without a
further struggle
Mr Farrell admitted that there
were q few Anotty problems to be
solved, and these, Of course, he would
not discuss. But he seemed sanguinc
that strong circuit would be ar
ranged for the coming season.

Toronto club. who was so anxious TO
break into the big league was among
the early international arrivals. James

Manager Head of the Merchant club
and Andrew York, secretary, and John
Graham, manager, of Federal Ship,
were on hand for the hearing of the
protest. Referee William Russell, of
Newark, was closely questioned con-
cernlng one of the most unusual hap
penlngs on which a soccer cup tie pro-
test ever has been based Russell told
Of coughing while running with the
whistle in his mouth virtually on TOP
Of an attack by the Merchant forwards.
The accidental sounding of the whistle
checked play when the ball was within
the penalty area and a goal for the
PennSyIvanians seemed certain. In
stead Of permitting play to proceed he
bounced the ball down in resuming
play and a Federal back effected
clearance.
Russell. whose recital of the incident
served to hurt the Federal clubs cause
when that plainly was not his intent,
agreed that he was clearly at fault anu
that the stoppage of play was unjusti-
fed. The inferred charge that the
sounding of the whistle was not en-
tirely accidental he firmly disputed
