With the gath ering' of the National league clana In New York today, preliminary to the annual spring meeting, the warfare between President Harry C. Pulllam and Garry Herrmann of Cincinnati over the blacklist matter will be brought to a loc. Pulllam's threat ened resignation' Is not considered seriously at hte present time, although there Is an undercurrent of feeling that the affairs of the league are reaching a critical stage and that a change In the presidency will be nec essary, sooner or later, to restore har mony In the warring camps. While the friends of Pulllam claim to control the miuaiiuu, Ilcrrrrnn will fight Just the same, It Is said, be cause he believes that Pulllam has at tacked him without warrant. In this contention he may stand alone, yet It will make no difference to the On. clnnatl man. At the same time Herr man Is anxious to have Ban Johnson and the American league men back him up In his opposition to Pulllam's methods, and aa Johnson Is Inclined to elan In Pulllam's direction there may be some Interesting developments. The blacklist matter, which caused all the trouble, has been widely dis cussed, but the fact has been appar ently lost sight of that In demanding the wiping out of the blacklist, con tract Jumping will be encouraged rather than suppressed. It Is under stood thai In offering the alleged blacklist resolutions J. H. O'Rourke had in mind a plan to prevent a fur ther violation of baseball contracts and that he expected his lead would be followed by all of the other baseball organizations. Veteran baseball magnates who re member the blacklisting of several players In 1876 for crooked work will Insist that contract Jumpers should be similarly treated. While Pulllam Is probably safe In his berth for the present, he Is sure to have a big fight on his hands when he tries for re-election next Decem ber. At the annual meeting of the National league last December Pul llam's election was not unanimous. He was opposed by the New York club, and the latter also opposed his election two years ago, and will fight against him next December. But the next time the New York club will not be alone In opposing Pulllam. Garry Herrmann is sure to work against Pulllam because of the letter's personal attack some time ago. Mr. Hermann has a big following and he Is sure to get support St. Louis will probably stand with Herrmann If he makes the fight, and Chicago, being James A. Hart's bailiwick, would also be expected to stick with Herr mann. This, with New Tork, would give Herrmann, four clubs, and the deciding vote would be with Brooklyn. Pulllam Is sure of the support ot Pittsburg, Boston and Philadelphia. Barney Dreyfus Is sponsor for Pul llam, and as Barney owns stock In the Boston and Philadelphia clubs It Is quite natural that Pulllam would get these votes. No matter how the con troversy between Mr. Pulllam and Mr. Herrmann terminates, the present head of the National league will meet strong opposition If he trie for re election next December. John T. Brush and Herrmann, who have always been more or less opposed to Pulllam, would undoubtedly turn to James A. Hart, for they regard him as the strongest executive that could be named. The chances are that nearly all of the older club owners In the league would favor Hart for the Job In case he would consider It. The other possibility Is John Heydlor. at prest-nt serving as secretary of the ague. PETITION FOR LIQUOR LICENSE. To the Hon.
