Ignoring of ro-riuests ro-riuests mndo by the American association associa-tion at previous meeiinirs of tho National Nation-al Association of Professional Baseball Clubs explains the failure of the growing minors to have an official league representative repre-sentative at the recent gathering of tho big baseball commission In Chicago. President Thomas Chlvington of tho American .association yesterday offered a tlshl on tho disinterested attitude of the association toward tho national body. The surprise ot tho annun! meeting IsjjL week was the fail urn of the American association to even put a request for tho reclassification, which would -raise the organization or-ganization and tho Eastern league. Into a class by thomselvcs. to be rated as A. A. This had bcon given out mh one of the points which would surely bring up a. liea ted llsht during tho course of this gathering. The, threatened iuovo did noc materialize, however, for thoytslmple reason rea-son that the association magnates repaired re-paired a request as hopeless and preferred pre-ferred to wait. The willingness to jemaln under the same classification for another year at least is explained by Iho fact that Uext fall tho national agreement under which the minor leagno clubs oporato expires. Tl was Intimated yesterday by tho American Amer-ican association bond Ihat the respective elub owners would consider a long time in 1011 before cntorlnp another compact under the present arranpomcnt.
