I New York, Feb. 25. 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.

feeble. Her memory has begun to
fall, but she talks entertainingly with
her friends.
