JOINT MEETING
ONDECEhBER 13
National League Hopes to
Learn Johnson's Plans.
Commission Candidates.

New York. Dec. 4.-The National
League has asked the American
League to take part in a joint meet
ing of the two organizations in this
city next week for the purpose of
bringing about more harmonious
conditions between the major base
ball bodies.
The National League will meet
here next Tuesday and the Ameri-
can League plans to meet in Chicago
on Wednesday OF Thursday II Ban
Johnson accents the invitation for
the joint conference 1t probably will
be held here December 13.
There are three important ques-
tions which the two leagues will en-
deavor to agree on. They are a new
chairman for the National Commits
sion. a new schedule for next season
and the player limit.
According to the plans OF several
club owners, the season will be cut
down TO 40 games. opening on May
j and closing on September 80. II
is also believed that the two major
organizations will limit the players
to Is for each club.
fhere are so many of the clubown-
ers of both leagues anxious to see
change in the makeup of the Ma
tional Commission that a big shake
up seems certain. The National
League is anxious to find out where
Ban johnson stands on the question
of. baseball reforms.
johnson last season openly violated
the national agreement by refusing TO
lob L.. hNr ha 4.
Commission, and as this entirely de-
stroyed the authority which the COM
mission has exercised in the past. the
club owners are anxious to know what
regard Johnson is going to have for
the national agreement in the future.
The one thing which the club own
ers in both leagues want, however, is
absolute harmony before plans are
made for the coming season. They
realize that the game will suffer un-
less there is an end to all the petty
wrangling that marred the sport last
season.
Since William Howard Taft made
il plain that he would not consider a
place on the National Commission sew
eral candidates have been suggested
Among these are Judge Kenesaw
Mountain Lands, of Chicago, and
John TooIe. of New York.
Numerous candidates also have been
mentioned for the presidency of the
National League. Toole is among
those suggested for this place The
names of SeCretary-Treasurer John A.
Heydler, Magistrate Francis Y Nc
Quade. of this city. and Robert
Brown. of Louisville. have been sug-
gested for the presidency
johnson gives no indication vet that
he will accept the suggestion OF the
National League for a joint meeting
II he is unwilling to call his club
owners for conference here the Ma
! tional League, IL is understood. is will
ing to meet in some city in the Middle
