CINCINNATI, O.. Jan. 1. The commu
te appointed at the recent meeting of
the baae ball peace conference here to

waa reached at a meeting' of the members
of the National commission here today.

Varloae Matters l'p.
At the meeting here today various mat
ters that have to do with the readjust
ment of, baae ball affelra to conform
with the recent treaty of peace were dis
cussed informally, and other than the
announcement that the date and place of
the commute meeting had keen fixed, no
news of a definite character came from
the meeting room.
It Is known seml-nf Melally, however,
that the waiver question. Insofar as It
concerns the Federal league players, waa
taken up. thoroughly gone into, and then
laid over to be docliled finally by the
joint committee on Wednesday.
It Is also known that there are n num
ber of small matters that will be decided
ena way or the other at the meeting jf
the Joint committee, other than the waiver
question and the International league
dispute.
fat ef Importaaee,
What these matters are was not allowed
to be divulged, but one man high In
base ball circles satd:
It Is natural that there are a number
of details thst are bound to conflict when
peace is declared between two bodies.
None of these dctatlsh are of Importance
other than that they must be attended
to.' The two big questions to come nn
f eourse, will be that ot the dlfpute be.
tween the International league and the
(Federal league, and the waiver quetion.
Insofar as the former I concernod. T
can say Tery little, but in regard to the
waiver question I believe thu will bo
decided quickly after the situation Is ex
plained to all of those concernod."
Another meeting of the National coin
mission will be held tomorrow and It Is
probable that the officers for the year
will be ehosea at that time.

Just an Earful
By Tad
Toothpick Kelly was a white ho po. He galled Into Frisco one day
from up north. He had about four bits and a great desire to be a cham
pion. He walked down Market street .
with his nix feet two of muscle topped
by a solid ivory dome and attracted
the eye of Spider Kelly, the great
handler.
Spider lured Toothpick into a soda
store, had him sign a contract for
ten years and then gave him some
lefiBonn in boxing.
A week later Spider had Tooth
pick signed up with a big black .
mauler called the Congo Thunder
bolt. The latter was noted as a ter
rific hitter, but a hick boxer. Spider
Kelly knew this, but his charge was
aware of nothing except that he knew
when meals should be served. He
was dead from the neck up.
The night of the fight came and
Spider with his man mountain en
tered the ring. The Toothpick tow
ered over ,his manager as the Singer
building does over a flivver.
The Toothpick's instructions were t0 Btay away and box the black
charger and never to mix.

terboard. The latter felt his nose. jt wa8 bleeding, and it was swollen
He stepped back for a spring and then took it and the wildest mixup ever
seen in the west was on.
spider Kelly from the corner ho wled like a mad man: "Stay away,
you honehead."
There was no stop to our hero, however. Reeling and groggy he was
swinging like a gate. Spider Kelly was howling like a Comanche and
white with rage.
At the bell the man mountain reeled to bis corner bloody and tired.
Spider Kelly met him as be took a load off his feet and squatted in the
chair. The Spider pulled back and slapped the man mountain right across
the mouth. To the surprise of everyone the Toothpack started to weep. "In
the next round you do as I tell you," piped the Spider, and the Toothpick
