City tlab.
NEW YORK. April 3. The National
league bio bull war It practically ended.
A. O. Spalding has resigned his claim ss
thief executive of the big organliatlon and
the ofT.ca will b tendcr-d (o William G.
Temple ef Plttaburg. Thers will be no
(urtbrr content In the court.
Mr. fpaldtng's letter of resignation was
presented to the magnate at tbe second
dsy's session of the peace conference at
tbe Fifth Avenue hotel. Tbe letter wss
presented by James Hart, prtaldcnt of tbe
Chicago club.
The letter ai iddreesed to tbe National
League and As.oiiation or rrofwlonal Bsss
Ball clubs and reads:
Gentlemen: In accepting the presidency
of the National league, to which office I
was Informed last le ember I had been
duly elected. I promulgated the following
platform all the policy of my administra
tion: "To promote, foster, elevate and per
petji.tr the game of base ball, the national
beld sport of America.
Ta Elevate 'port Morally.
"To eliminate all objectionable features
that may tend to degrade and demoralise
Uie spurt.
"To Inculcate In the governors of the
game, club officials, umpires, players and
every one Interested In or connected with
the national sport a realisation of what
true sportsmanship is and to subordinate
the system of the game.
" To cul Ivate among the players a desire
for the highest athletic development, that
they may. by their skilfulness. Integrity
and gentlemanly deportment, both on and
off the field, raise their profession to a high
plane and add luster to and interest in the
national game.
To establish a central governing body
In which all professional base ball Interests
hall be properly represented, this body to
be clothed with ample power to tarry Into
effect these and other objects that tend to
maintain the Integrity and high standard of
the game."
Impossible to tarry Oat Platform.
Condition have arisen which. In mv opin
ion, make it Impossible at this time to
carry out all the principles embodied In the
above platform, and aa no compromise or
notification of these principles will be
satisfactory to me I have decided to dis
continue further efforts In this direction
and hereby tender my resignation aa presi
dent of the National league and respect
fully insist that It be accepted without de
lay. I wish to emphatically declare that I am
fnompted In this action solely by the be
lef that prolonging a factional political
warfare Into the playing season would be
distasteful to the public. Injurious to the
National league In particular and to pro
fessional base pall In general. Respect
fully, A. U. BPALD1NG.
, Thus ends one of the bitterest Internal
struggle that ha ever shaken the Na
tional league and which threatened to
wreck tbe premier baa ball organization.
While Mr. Temple has not been formally
elerted to the chief executive office of the
'eague it was decided unanimously to offer
blm the place.
Temple a Maw of Means.
Mr. Temple was at on time owner of the
Pittsburg club, and is a man of large
meant. Tt was h who donated tbe Temple
(up to be played for by the club finishing
first and second at the end of the league
season. II la known a a lover of tbe
port, but It was felt here tonight that he
might possibly decline the honor tendered
Jim because tbe league had decided to es
tablish its permanent headquarter In New
'Tork. and he, being a buelnss man, may
ot find it possible to epend all hi time
here. It has also been decided to make the
office of president and secretary-treasurer
separate. The latter office will, according
to tne beat information, be tendered to N.
E. Toung. Mr. Young aald tonight that he
would accept the office, though It necetet
tated hi coming to New Tork and estab
llahlng hi officv her.
Freedmaa and hi followers contended
that Spalding had never been elected presl
dent of tbe league and therefor could not
resign. The matter was solved by a mo
lion to simply consider the incident closed.
Talbott'a Same Presewted.
A concerning the work of selecting
president for the league the name ot Ed
ward B. Talbot, former owner of tbe New
York franchise, was first proposed, but It
was said that be could not accept the office
and he would not be able to come to New
York to live. Freedmaa and Brush then
made a proposition to do away with tbe
office ef president and for the appointment
of a committee of three member. In who
hand the governing power of the league
should be placed. There was instant oppo
sition to this and a long drawn-out discus
sion. Freedmaa and Brush finally gsvs wsy
and the matter of the presidency wag a gal a
taken up.
Eodea ot Boston was mentioned, but de
clined. Hart proposed Harry Pulllams
name, but Pulliam In turn proposed William
O. Temple of Pittsburg. Freedmaa was op
posed to tbe selection of soy man until
such msa had come before the meeting and
aaounoed his attituds and the nature of
his policy in csso ot election. He ssld bs
did not want to vote for any man until he
had talked with hlra and knew what hs pro
posed to do to better lbs bsse ball situa
tion. It was pointed out that Temple was
a broad-minded man and one with a repu
tation for falraes and loyalty.
Freedmaa Demaada to Kaow.
'Thers has been a lot of talk." said
Freed man, "about taking my club away
from me. I want to know what you propose
doing about that. Does anybody want to
take my ciub away from me?"
Oae of the Spalding followers disavowed
aay and all Intention of a desire to take
Freedman'e club away from him.
The question of Mr. Temple was sgala
taken up and a unanimous vots taksa to
tender htm tbe presidency.
A telegram was sent to Mr. Temple, whs
is now in Florida, advising blm of the ac
tion of the league and asking him It he
would accept tbe presidency.
It was nearly midnight whea the league
meeting adjourned until tomorrow after
Boon. Most of tbe night session was taken
up In discussing the playing rules sad
schedule. It was decided to play under the
tame rules a last year. Tbe foul-atrlk
rule was Incorporated in the book of
rules. This rule was la fores last ssesen,
but wss not In the "book of rules."
It was decided that tbe pitcher should
not have more then one minute la which
to warm up prior to any one Inning before
delivering tbe ball, be not being allovsd
to deliver mors tbaa Ave bails before play.
Bodes, Robison and Pulliam were named
aa a committee to decide on what ball Is
to be used the coming season.
Young. Hart. Kbbetta and Dreyfuse were
named as a committee to take tbe threw
playing schedules submitted, go over them
aad draft a schedule that they will probably
submit to tbo meeting tomorrow-.
