New York, Dec. 11. Some Interest
ing reading for the baseball fans Is ex
pected to be furnished by the aeries of
meetings which began here today and
will occupy the greater part ot this
week. In addition to the annual meet
ings of the National and American
leagues there will be meetings ot the
National Commission, the National
Board of Arbitration, the Eastern
league and the Baseball Writers asso
elation. ' ';:; '-'y' ':J'".:
The American league assmbled todiy

Jpague and as nothing has occurred to
disturb the harmony among the mag
nates the meeting was little more than
a love feast. 7 , '
Livelier proceedings are promifed
tomorrow when, the National league
c-ets In annual session. The recei.t
death of President Russell of the Bos
ton' club has. caused a revival of the
talk of "syndicate baseball" and Bar
ney Dretuss ot Pittsburg, who has led
the fight against the so-called syndi
cates, will probably bring the matter
tc the attention of the directory Hunt
ors are 8tlU current that an athtripf
will be made to oust Thomad J. Lvnrh
from 'thfl presidency of the league, but
those in a position to know declare!
today that while the meeting might
develop' some surprises the "passing of
Lynch'' would not be among them.
The special meeting of the National
Commission, the supreme governing
body in the baseball world, will tran
sact considerable business left oi
from the recent Cincinnati meeting, it
is considered doubtful, however, if the
commission will devote much serous
attention to the charges of collusion
between scalpers and officials of the
New York club In the sale of tickets
for the world series last fall. The
majority of the magnates are now al;
cllned to let the matter drop, though
all are In favor ot adopting Borne plan
that will prevent a repetition of tho
scandal in the future. 1
The Eastern league also seems to
have its troubles, which are due to

ceetir:a Owner Chapin of the Roches
ter ek has come to town with the
avowee .iitentlon of returning home
with the scalp of President Ed Barrow
dangling at his belt.. Chapin has a
iiumbfr of grievances against Barrow,
but as the most of them are of little
concern to the other club owners the
prohabritieB are that Barrow will be
returned to the presidency for another
year at least. . .' v
