| Text | What was intended to be a secret meeting between a conference committee of the American Association and the emergency committee of the Players' League was held at the Colonnade Hotel, Philadelphia, Tuesday, Sept. 2, but through a leak, as usual, the matter became known to the local reporters, and as a result the fact of the meeting was published to the world, together with a vast amount of er5roneous surmise as to, and comment upon, the nature and result of the deliberations of the joint committee, not one of the accounts of the proceedings being correct, for the simple reason that no reporters were present, and nothing whatever was given out. The Players' League delegates slipped away as they came unseen, and without interviews. The American Association delegates were less lucky, but judging from the published interviews, nothing as to the real nature of the deliberations has yet been revealed by them. All the plans for an absolutely secret meeting were well laid, and would have been successfully carried out but for the leak, the source of which is pretty nearly correctly guessed at by the delegates. |
