New York March 10With the opening open-ing of the National league baseball season sea-son only a little more than a month away there aro on the surface no indl atlons that the rival factions arc making any effort toward getting together to-gether Tomorrow unless there Is anther an-ther postponement the question of Jurisdiction will be opened in the Supreme Su-preme court and the baseball world may then learn something more dell alto of the situation Just when the court will render a decision In the case it Is Impossible to say I maybe may-be delayed for weeks although that Is hardly probable That the club owners own-ers contemplate action of some nature Is shown by the fact that they are all making preparations to begin the season but not one move has been made to bridge over the chasm between the Fours I is believed that Spalding who is now In San Diego will not make any definite move in his cause until the courts have reached theirdecision as to the legality of his presidency As soon as the lawsuit In New York Is settled Spalding will return to the East and renew his fight In support 0 his policy I Is believed that an effort Is being made for some sort of a compromise com-promise before the season starts Chicago March 10The RecordHer ald tomorrow will say Unless two of ho strongest bascboll men associated with the Spalding faction of the National Na-tional league are soon appeased A G Spalding will be forced by his own fol lowers to step down and out of the present fight for the presidency of the league Spaldings alleged lack of method In his campaign and his absence In California fornia have so displeased one of the men supposed to be among Spaldings closest adherents that he has practically cally refused to take any further part In the fight unless Spalding withdraws or makes a decided change In his campaign cam-paign paignI la l believed that President Harts rip to the Pacific coast for consultation consulta-tion with his chief has as Its aim the reaching of an agreement with SpaldIng Spald-Ing whereby the latter would consent to a withdrawal for the sake of a compromise com-promise |
