Nv FREDERICK C. LIEB.

hxed programme OF action already
t,s teen framed for the annual meet
inr OF the National League, which will
convene here tomorrow. 1t was ar
ranged at caucus or National League
cub owners held yesterday afternoon at
the Hotel Biltmore.
The only clubs that were not repre-
sented were Cincinnati and Chicago. I'm
der present parliamentary rules Man
aver-President Mitchell of the Cubs
cannot sit at league meetings, but the
absence Of August Hermann. chairman
Of the National Commission. was the
most significant thing about 1t.
The National League usually holds a
rst-toGether session the day before ITS
annual meeting, but this year 1t ad-
yanced it's date a day
Hermann is scheduled TO arrive here
to-day. AS the Craftsmanship OF the Ma
'Ional Commission was one Of the lead
irc matters discussed. 1t was deemed
advisable to hold the meeting before the
cincinnati man arrived.
The most important questions taken
I'D at the caucus were the selection OF
the men who are to fill the National
League presidency and the selection OF
chairman OF the National Commission.
Heydler Doesn't Want Job.
Several club owners who have called
on Acting President John Heydler last
week brought the report here that
Heyder is by no means anxious for the
office Of president. This has rather up
set the plans of most of the magnates,
as Heydler was their choice for the Of
nee. John c. Toole, attorney for the
National League, Is now being consid-
cred.
II ia known that the caucus voted to
instruct its president. whether he be
Heydler or some one else. to cast his
vote for chairman for a person in good
standing in baseball, but with no finan-
cal interests in the sport.
This OF course would eliminate Au-
gust Hermann, chairman for the last
Atteen years, provided the latter re-
NAMED the active head OF the Cincinnati
club and continued to hold stock in the
Reds.
Having decided that Hermann no
longer would do as the head of the
commission. the question OF deciding on
man who might hll his place was a
more difficult matter. especially as the
American League also would have &c
sanction the choice. The names OF
Judge Lands of Chicago. Tooie and
others came up for discussion, but the
National League will not attempt to
make a suggestion at this time. II hopes
10 bring about some sort of a Joint meet
ing with the American League, when n
neutral may be decided upon.
