| Text | [reporting on the joint conference committee meeting of 10/16 – 10/17] This [10/16] was the day set apart for the annual meeting of the National League and the American Association of Base Ball Clubs. This time ofr the league meeting was fixed for 10:30 A.M., at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, but prior to that hour the joint special committees of the league and the American association held a session in order, if possible, to modify the Saratoga agreement of Aug. 24, so that it would meet the approbation of both associations. This they failed to do, and the time for holding the league meeting was postponed until 4 o'clock in the afternoon. During the interval the committee was in constant sessions with many intermissions for consultations with representatives of various club, and by 4 o'clock there was absolutely nothing left of the Saratoga agreement, so many had been the modifications, and the committee then announced a further adjournment until 7:30 in the evening. In the mean time, still further troubles had developed, and, as it was impossible to settle these without much more deliberation, it was finally decided to adjourn the meeting until 10:30 on Saturday morning. |
