VON DER AHE AND MUCKENFUSS They Cause Trouble in the National League A Scheme to Reduce tho League to Ten Clubs. New York. Dec. 14. After a sesnlon of an hour and a half tho delegates to the National league meeting by a vote of 9 to 2 recognized B. S. Muckenfus as the representative ot the St. Louis club and then adjourned until tomor row. Dining the meeting, Messrs. Abell, of Brooklyn, and Von tier Horst. of Bal timore, who had been appointed yes terday as committee to try and bring the two SI. Louis men to an amicable arrangement, Hubmltted a repot t which was not adopted. Von tier Abe and Muckenfuss were both piesent when the vote wns taken and the clubs which stood by Von dor Abe weie Baltimore and Biooklyn. Tho New York proxy vote was cast by Mr. Soden, of Boston, in favor of Muckenluss. As soon ns the sveretary announced the vote and the meeting adjourned, Von dor Abe said: "Well, I am not down and out by an.v means and will light It out In the St. Louis cotltts. I cannot be robbed of my rights and don't Intend to stand by idly. You bet I villi come out on top when this thing bus been propetly ad justed." At innuii tow's meeting Von der Abo will be petmltted to be piesent during the pioceedlngs, but Muckenfut-t will have the sole right of otlng. The boaid of dliectors went into session at 2AT o'clock. The business to be transacted is of loutlne order. As soon as this meeting adjourns the boaid of arbitration will m-et for the adjustment of claims in which clubs belonging to leagues other than the National body are interested. The bonrd of directors foimallv awarded th pennant emblematic of tho championship of the pat season to the Boston ilub. Hurry C. Pulllum and B.unev Drey fus, of Louisville, made no secret of the fait thut $."0,000 would buy the Louisville 1 lull and they were expect ing Vnndoibeck, of Detroit, to airive today with that amount The Detroit man did not put In an appearance and the itimor was general that the league would purchase the Louisville club rs well as the St. Louis one, thu reducing the league from 12 to 10 clubs. This Is a matter which w ill come up for consideration at the meeting tomoirovv and yome of thoe who profess to liav e inside information say that the Cleve land franchise will be transferred to Si. Louis und that Baltimore and Biooklyn will be bought out so as to nir.ko next year's an eight club clicult. How the magnates pro rolng to ac complish this scheme In face of tho National league agreement, which hat yet two yeats to run, was a much ills cussed question today and all persons Interested look for some surprises at tomorrow's meeting.
