Tbe local clubs—New York and Brooklyn—are rep- resented br President Preedman and Deists. Abell and Bym^ teepccllvely. Prealdent Young will coll tho delegates together about noon on Nov. 11. The board of diiecU>re will hold a sesaloo pryor to tke regulsr meeting of Ibe clulo. Tbey will hsve a number of knotty |)roblemeta BOire, besides attending 10 other matters of len lu- Sortance. Tbey will also llnlsD to and accept I'real- ent Yonng's llosnclal report, will decide that ihe Baltimore leam won Ihe championship of iiiei, win preeent that clul> with the pennsnl, and then make up their report to be Bobmlited to the leagae dele, galea. The latter body will bare a lot of work lu dlBiKiseof. One ot the most Imporlsot will be the umpire question. Last year the delegates took action to pniecl the umpires against the niayerv. but al Ibli meellDg It Is Ibougbl that an elTurt will be made 10 r«v«n» thia abili ot aiTalni. While It Is not generally believed Ihat any ven isd|. cal measures will lie adopled. It Is Ibougbl Ibat Ue Oulng privileges, wblcn were held so cheap, ly by some of tbe men 00 this year's alaif of umpires, will lie so modllled that there will be lllile or no cause for conplalnt neit season. It may be that Uses will be wiped out enllrely, end that tbe umplra will have only Ibe power lu re- more a player from Ihe game or grounds. Then, again, the advocatea ot Ihe prirllege of Onea being Impofed by the ufflplreamaybiresumclentslrength 10 prevent thai clause from being wiped out. A great desl of Ihe trouble on tbe ball Held Ic caused by Ihe plarera tbemselrea. Some of thcui gel so ex- cited durfojr a game that tho^ late control of tbuir tempers and become so lielllierent that stringent measures must Ije teaorted 10 by the umpires. Piealdent Hob'lion, ot Ihe Ulerebind Ulub, Is going 10 olfer aratoluUontopreventcoacblngatanyoflhe major league games. Loud aod boisterous coach- ing la certainly objectionable, but to obtain good team work some kind of coaching la neccattry. lO' stead of wiping out coaching entirely, a belter plan to do array wlih rowdy ana disgraceful sceaes on Ihe Held would be to prohibit vulgar and unaecea. tary kicking over declalonBrendered by thenmplrea. It hi such condaU that dlagusu the belter classes of patrona, gives the hoodlum element tbe upper hand, and caueea so much trouble. Wben a decUlun Is giren by the umpire that should end Ibe matter, for It Is not once In Bfty Umee tbatan olHclal will change his ruling, even though he baa rldated one of Ibe rules. Ue wTu lUck to kla opinion, aid let the Board of Ul- reclon settle tbe matter afierwardt. Therefore, nothing Is to be gained by a grend stand nlay tor sympathy. If Ibe playen an gIren 10 undereiand that tbey are to go upon the ball Held and aicrt theraaelres to tbeir ntmoal to win games by clever work at Ihe i>at,an the baaea and In the fleld, and not by kicking, then there will lie llttio need for leglslatloo as refards the liaposing of dnea. It be hooves players to do their best when on Ibe ball Held, lo giro tbe public wbal It pays tor, and the sooner thay reaUee that their alanes corns Ibrougb the box emce receipts alone, ihe better It will i>e tor both them and Ike game. Prestdenl Fretdman will go 10 the meeting primed with propositions and objections, lie wlU rigor- ously oppoie the naolullon 10 abolish coaching at the major league games, and while bellerlng that Ihe prejentnoliy sysiem should lie nvdmed, be will ' ^bt sgalnit any aoggestlon lo wipe out the fealon ilcb baa lent so much cxclieraent lo the game. Mr. Fieedman It also going la Uke a sisnd for the double umpire lystem, and tbioks that the majority of the dabs taror the plan. Another mailer of Im- poriance that be will bring up for cunHdeialion will be Ihe playing ot Sunday gamea by the major league teams. The local olub Is on record as befog InnrorotalioUshIngthem altogether, Atsresent there an fonr clubs—Bosloa, New York, rbUadsl- Dhla and Pliisburg—which hare refueed lo pUy gamea on Sondiy, but the olber eight clube of the major league do, aod as tbe Weatem clube, or at least are of them, nly on sock gamea for the larger part of their aeaaon'a rennae, then It erety rasoo to bcllere thai they wUI mUe a hold Bihl agalnjt aboUahlog them.
