W.O. M’Geehan of the New York Tribune sets the stage for the meeting of the owners set to take place on Oct. 18 in Chicago. They will consider the Lasker Plan:

In Chicago to-day it is hoped representatives of all sixteen major league clubs will meet jointly. Certain it is all eight National League teams will be represented. The three most powerful clubs of the American League — New York, Chicago and Boston — will be on hand.

These eleven clubs have indorsed the Lasker plan for a new government of professional baseball; a government by a board of influential Americans who have no financial interests in professional baseball but who would command implicit respect and faith in the country at large.

We will see what the eighteenth brings.
