The argument caused a delay of half an hour and it was close to 9 1 'W MA 7 I St, Louis Magnate Explains Why Spring Series With Browns Was Refused, OFFICE FULL OF CHAIRS. Details of Dreyfuss' Connection With Quaker Club Are Interesting. M. S.

Robison, presiden of the St. Louis National league baseball club, accompanied by his architect, spent yesterday here for the purpose of Inspecting the bleachers at Exposition park, Northslde, and the site of the new park in Oakland. President Robison Is planning an addition to his stand in St. Louis, and Trill copy the Exposition park bleacher, which he believes is the strongest In the country. He and his architect were impressed with the size of the undertaking in Oakland.

Both admitted that there is nothing In the United States that, approaches the proposed stands. It is the Intention of President Robison to erect steel stands at St. Louis in time, but he wants to get a winning team first. In the meantime he will increase the size of his present stands so that by nuttlnsr benches on th flei will be able to accommodate about 30,000 next summer. His field is probably the largest in either league.

President Robison admitted that he and his new manager, Roger Bresnahan, have decided not to play a spring series with the St. Louis American league club. 'She Cardinals wanted to play last fall, as had been the custom for years, but the Browns had been rather successful in their own championship struggle and declined the issue. Robison served notice then that If the fall series were elimin-lted would not consent to a spring series. Magnate Hedges evidently thought this was only a bluff and after January 1 issued the usual challenge for a spring battle, but Robison was firm and would not consent.

Hedges then threatened to get Pittsburgh, New York or some other good attraction for exhibition games and while Robison was Investigating law on this point with a view of barring such games, the National league teams respectfully declined the kind invitations. "I think we made a mistake in ever playing these spring games," said President Robison yesterday. "We always rushed home from the South a week or two too soon and a four or five-game series took the edge off our championship season. This year the Cardinals will stay down South until time for the bell to ring and I think will give a better account of themselves than they have for several years. For three seasons they have been tailenders so they cannot "do worse.

Advocates of the series argue that the gate receipts would be large in the city championship series. No doubt they would, but no matter how great, they would not be sufficient to pay the exttenses of a costly National league team. The season lasts six months 1 ana everytmng aeyniua uiu -In that long struggle that decides whether there are to be profits or losses." Has Confidence in Bresnahan. President Robison does not expect Roger Bresnahan to win the pennant the first season, but believes the star catcher will develop a team that wU make any club in the league hustle. "The Pirates may as well make up their minds now that they are not going to have a snap with the Cardinals next spring," was the parting shot of the St Louis man.

The Cardinals leave three weeks from to-morrow for the he concrete branch of the work at the new baU park, Oakland, is progressing so rapidly that it was found necessary to work on the grading night and day and the extra shift will be put on to-morrow night. No additional baseball contracts were sent out last week and consequently the list of signed players remains unchanged. President Drevfuss will send out the balance of the contracts this week One week from to-morrow delegates will be on their way to the schedule meeting In Chicago. In addition to adapting the program for 1909 other will receive attention The National league Is pledged to pass some sort of a rule governing the playing off of double headers. It will proo-shlv be necessary to amend the constitution i to bring about the reforms desired The custom of allowing the home club to fix the time for playing off postponed games without giving the visiting team due notice caused many unpleasant frtyrertusn Is expected home to-dayHe had a most busy week -Past First, he closed the lm-Portent Philadelphia deal, th he went to New Tork to confer wrman Ebbets about the report of JJchule committee, which must smittea to the league at Chicago next e.ekan finally he.

President Dreyfuss was kept busy for the entire week When he returns to his office he win find It almost filled with samples of chairs He expected to be here to re-reive bids yesterday and agents arrived from all parts of the country, but owing tothe Absence of President Dreyfuss the Wd, will not be opened until to-morrow.

One of the agents made the statement yesterday that the "sbOT.h. be the largest ever ven in the 'United States and that a freight train of more than 25 cars will bo required to haul the chairs. Story of Philadelphia Deal. President Barney Ireyfuss. of the Pittsburgh Baseball club, rendered the National league another valuable service when he disposed last week of all of his own stock In the Philadelphia club and negotiated the sale of the shares of his friends.

The story of his connection witn the Philadelphia club la an interesting OIIn 1903, Reach and Rogers, owners of the Philadelphia grounds and franchise. Informed the league that, worn out by the war, they were ready to retire. If the league could not find a suitable purchaser. Reach and Rogers gave notice that they would have to sell to the first person that came along. President Dreyfuss.

on behalf of the league, undertook to get the club Into good hands. He went to Philadelphia and spent several weeks negotiating with capitalists there, but the deal was one of considerable magnitude and just when he expected to close it there was a hitch. The option had only a short time to run when President Dreyfuss met James Potter who on brief notice promised to interest his friends In the project. In a remarkably short time. Mr.

Potter, by using the telephone and other means, tnriiiced about 24 prominent Philadel- Dhians to subscribe for the majority of Tne SlUIL. iu woo tixtr KixzeLl -1 Barney Dreyfuss. Garry Herrmann and one or two friends of each, offered to buy the remaining shares, with the derstanding that as soon as the Phila-delphians cared to do so they could buy ttA outside stock at par. Fulfillinsr this pdge. President Herr mann, of the Cincinnati club, disposed of his Interest two years ago to James Potter and his friends.

President Dreyfuss had two prospective purchasers but they were not known to the Philadelphians, and rather than force partners upon them, who might not be congenial, he held his stock. The reorganization of the club proved to be a most expensive one. and for that ressnn there were no profits.

It was the best exhibition of the strenuous Ice sport seen in tha big auditorium this winter. There was never a moment but the two teams were playing the game to the best of their ability.

C. team's game from the start, and while the Bankers managed to keep up with them for a while, the younger aggregation gradually forged ahead, growing stronger as the contest progressed.

Clash With the Oakland Team Comes Soon Daniels and Denniston Matched. Fresh from their great victories in the middle division swimming championships of the A. A. held at Philadelphia last Saturday, Messrs. Tucker, Sloan, Shtnton and Bain are back In Pittsburgh receiving the congratulations of the East Liberty Aquatic club members and all Interested in sports.

The East Liberty boys are In good shape and are getting ready for the coming clash between East Liberty and Oakland. TV. F. Baldwin, of Oakland, a fast swimmer, was unfortunate in the championships in Philadelphia. In the drawing for heats Baldwin got a place with two of the fastest men in the East, and while he went a good fast 50 yards did not qualify for the finals, which put him out of the running.

He took his misfortune philosophically and was complimented for his gameness by many of the spectators. The next clash between the East Liberty Aquatic club and Oakland will be of unusual interest, as two of the important local championships will be decided the 20-yard swim and the 50-yard back stroke. The first race will give Sloan an opportunity to beat his own time of 2 minutes 43 seconds, made in the great race with Bud Goodwin, of the N. T. A.

C. in which Goodwin won. but the result would have been different had Bud staved in his course. The back swimming is important, as that method of natation is used in life-saving more than anv other, and is so much encouraged in the East that Mr. Bratton, of N.

T. A. known as the swimmers' Santa Clause, has given a number of costly cups to reward the extra effort necessary to become a proficient swimmer on the back. A number of other interesting competitive events are scheduled and the amusing stunts, for which E. L.

A. C. is famous, will be new and well worth witnessing. Arrangements for the iiO-yard swim between C. ratsiels, the world's fastest swimmer, and E.

E. Denniston. of Princeton university, are almost Daniels' fastest time, and the record, is 25 2-5 seconds, but Denniston has covered the distance in one-fifth second less, the time not being official because made In a dual meet and not in open competition. L. deB.

Handly, a swimmer of great prominence and well known in this locality, has been training the Princeton boy. and strange as it may seem has been Daniels' companion for a couple of years, and even Handly is in doubt about the outcome cf the race. One thing sure, a new mark is bound to be made for the distance. Excepting the details, it was closed at the annual meeting of the National league in New Tork last December, when a ccnference. in which all the interested persons were represented, was held at the Waldorf-Astoria.

Opposed to Syndicate Ball. James Potter said then, on be-ha'f of the Philadelphians, that they would be delighted to have Murray as a partnt-r. Another conference was held in Philadelphia in January, and last week President Dreyfuss returned to the Quaker City to deliver the stock to Murray. It was then that the manager was elected a director of the club. Murray not only bought the Dreyfuss shares but also the stock owned by friends of the Pittsburgh magnate, and he is now the largest stockholder in the club.

President Dreyfuss is, and always has been, opposed to syndicate baseball, and went Into the Philadelphia club only because his money and Herrmann's was needed to consummate the important deal on short notice. Neither he nor Herrmann reaped a cent's worth of profit. Both frankly admitted owning the stock and both agreed to sell as soon as they' could do so to the advantage of the majority stockholders. In keeping this pledge, Dreyfuss and Herrmann put the finishing touches to probably the most unselfish deal in baseball, for after carrying the stock aU through the years when it was not producing profit, they disposed of it when it promises to be successful. The deal rids the National league entirely of the taint of syndicate baseball.

Every club in the parent organization of professional baseball starnls alone. It is true that Dreyfuss and Herrmann had no voice in the management of the c'ub, even while they were stockholders, but their case was an exceptional one, and for the good of the game it is better to have eight distinct corporations than a community of interest. In everyday business affairs there Is no criticism of well and legally conducted combinations, but the people demand even more from baseball than they do In the business world, and the National game is the best in the world, because it is kept absolutely above reproach. SYMPATHY FOR SHRUBB FROM GOTHAM ADMIRERS. Little Englishman's Failure to Go Full Marathon Distance Cause of Woe.

SPECIAL TO THE PITTSBURGH POST. NEW YORK, Feb. 6. The defeat of Alfred Shrubb by Tom Longboat in. the sensational Marathon race Friday night was the sole topic among sporting men to-day.

Various reasons were given for the Englishman's collapse, the principal one being that he was strictly a 15 or 20 mile runner. Another cause for his defeat was said to be the fact that he changed bis running shoes after he had covered 21 miles, and that he overexerted himself in regaining the lap he had lost while putting on his new footwear. It was also pointed out that perhaps Shrubb had been injudiciously handled and that he should not have set so fast a pace In the first 20 miles; that if he had gained a Couple of laps instead of eight and had then dogged the pace set by the Indian he might have out-sprinted the latter in the last stagea of the struggle. It Is a fact that Longboat was in poor physical condition when the Briton quit, and that he didn't begin to equal his performance when he defeated Dorando. There was much sympathy for Shrubb.

whose superb running had excited the admiration of thousands in the garden. To them it seemed to be a piece of sheer hard luck that the Briton could have continued on his triumphal Journey. Longboat, who is now hailed as the world's champion long-distance runner, will not fcs permitted to rest on his laurels, for Matt Maloney, who up to to-day was the best amateur Marathon runner in America, is anxious to make a match with the Indian.
