| Text | Every club in the Players' League with the exception of Pittsburgh and Buffalo were represented at a conference held by the Central Board of Directors at the resident of E. B. Talcott, Vice-President of the New York Club, on Friday evening [5/29] , which was continued over until yesterday morning. The representatives present were: President E. A. McAlpin, Vice-President Addison of Chicago, F. H. Brunell, Secretary; R. B. Talcott, New York Club; John Ward, Brooklyn, H. M. Love and J.E. Wagner, Philadelphia; Julian H. Hart, Boston; George H. Sliney and John Stricker, Cleveland. The most important matter brought before the conference was the question of a change of schedule,. Pittsburgh was one of two cities that would like to see a change in the conflicting dates. It was for the purpose of showing the Smoky City and its other supporters that the balance o the clubs in the Players' league did not desire a change, and that Secretary Brunell upon his own responsibility called a conference of the Central Board. A vote was taken on the question, and the six clubs went on record as voting for the retention of the present schedule. Secretary Brunell said to a Sun reporter yesterday that the vote at the conference settled the matter about the Players' league schedule beyond doubt. “It will remain just as it is,” he continued. “If the National League people want fight, they will get all they desire before the season ends. We will get all the attendance necessary for a success when the weather settles. If any club can't keep its end up and wants to retire, I have an amount of finances right in my possession that will place a club in the place of the disbanded one at short notice. |
