| Text | It is authoritatively announced that there is to be an informal conference early this week between representatives of the American and League looking to a reconciliation of all difficulties between the two associations. This conference will to a great extent influence the legislation of the meetings of the two associations to be held this month. The American will demand that the League recognize its contracts and that base ball playing be brought down to a pure matter of business. If the League refuses this there will be no intercourse between the clubs of the rival organizations next season. This will be a serious blow to the League as the American has at its back the Northwester League in the West and the Inter-State in the East, leaving the League entirely out in the cold. The odds are too great in favor of the American, and it is evident that the League managers have at last come to their senses. The demand made by the American is of a character that the League cannot refuse without stultifying itself. It has very freely black-listed players of its own clubs that have signed two contracts, and in order to keep up even an appearance of honesty it should stop at once patting on the back and encouraging players to break contracts with American clubs. It is an evil that they have fostered and which at last has come home to mock them. |
