BASEBALL MOGULS MEET IN LOUISVILLE Formauon oI ’l‘mrd League to Meet Considerable Opposition Louisville, Ky, Nov. 12.—Prelimi- _nary to’ the opening here on Tuesday y of what promises to be the most mo- mentous meeting in the history of the National Association of Professional Baseball leagues, Western lague mag- nates yesterday held a perfunctors executive session of three hours, at which they discussed proposals that dhave been advanced for redistricting minor leagues. The meecting was attended by rep- resentatives of every. club in the league. Those present were John Hol- land, St. Joseph; Hugh Jones, Den- ver; Frank Isbell, Wichita; John Sav- age, Joplin; William. Holmes, Lincoln; Tom Fairweather, Des Moines; E. J. Hanlon, Sioux City; W. A. Rourke, Omaha. The Western leaguers decided not to express any opinion as a body on (Proposals for redistricting minor ‘leagues until the matter should have been brought before the national as- soclation. Several of them did, how- ever, as individuals express themselves as favoring some move which would strengthen minor leagues to meet the | stress of war conditions. Among these were Hanlon, Isbell, Holmes, TFair- weather and Rourke. 1 President E. W. Dickerson feported to the magnates the league had ended the baseball year with a substantial balance in the treasury and no debts. This conditlon was so unusual he was | glven a rising vote, of thanks. His report also revealed that the average attendance for the year in Western deague citles was a little more than 60,000, with Omaha leading in this respect. To Oppose Third Major League. The proposal which seems likely to produce the bitterest controversy is the plan to form a new organization from parts of the American Associa- tion and International league. The proposed league would include Louis- ville, Indianapolis, Columbus and To- lgdo from the American association and Toronto, Buffalo, Newark and Baltimore from the International league. The four clubs in each league which would be left out in the cold under this arrangement are expected to furnish strong opposition to the project. Interests opposed to the formation of, a third league have announced their intention to fight the project even to the extent of putting new clubs into seceding cities. On the other hand, Presidents Wathen, Mc- Gill and Bresnahan of the Louisville, Indianapolis and Toledo clubs, reputed leaders of the third league movement, re sawing wood and saying nothing. They wear a confident air, however, that would seem to indicate they be- | lieve they will be able to carry | through any plans they may have | formulated. Would Suspend for a Year. The suspension of operations in several smaller minor leagues until the close of the war will be suggest- ed. Practically every organization, from the big American association, International and Pacific Coast Teagues down, suffered seriously last season. Twenty-two minor leagues started the season and only about half of them finished. Only five leagues went through without changes in their circuits. The presidents of several minor Jeagues in the Middle West are strong- ly in favor of putting baseball on the shelf for a year and possibly two. They favor releasing all players ahd _starting anew at the close of the war on a le expensive operating basis. REDWOODS WIN "East Hartford Meet First t of Season at Hands of Lo- cal Eleven. The Redwoods of this city con- tinued their fine work on the gridiron yesterday afternoon at Seymour park, when the unbeaten Burnsides of East Hartford were downed, score 12 to 7y The local's points were made in Jle final minutes of the game. when Danielson blocked a punt and $chroe- del carried the bali over the line. Smith a few moments later, made the final tally for the home team which brought victory. The visitors greatly outweighed the Hardware City boys. Bayer, fullback for the locals played stellar football, his plunging being one of the features of the game. About 1,000 enthusiasts were on hand to watch the battle. M. Landers scored the loser's points. The football game at the East End fleld between the Empires of this city and the Mohawks of Meriden, ended in a dispute when in the fourth per- fotl, the referee, a Meriden man, awarded a decision to the visiting team that aroused, the ire @f the home team’s followers # causing them to surge on the fleld.
