Ball Magnates Talk of Trades but Do Nothing
In Cinci, a crowd of ball magnates gathered for the War Taxes commission meeting today but no trades occurred. National League officials discussed taxing passes and tickets, aiming for a simple, convenient method, with no action taken on the Federal League proposal. Notables like Weeghman, Ebbets, and Dreyfuss attended as the commission’s annual session was postponed awaiting American League presence. A proposed move to abolish traveling trunks for players gained support among managers.
