THE BEK : . OM MAIlA. THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 11. 1920. Dove of Peace Hovering Near Camps of League Magnates Nine Teams t o Formation of New Circuit Due To Jealousy of National League Over American. Declares Tv Cobb Sixteen Club Owners of National And American C ircuits Will Meet Tomorrow to Effect Settlement Sketches of Annnal Cue Meet To Enter Mid-West Annual Bowling Meet 12 I Kansas City, Nov. 10. War clouds tonight are vanishing from the major league base ball horison with indications favoring an amicable settlement when the belligerent major leaguers meet in a joint session in Chicago, Friday to effect a peace pact. The National Association of Minor leaguea after listening to both sides in the controversy voted to help avoid a war by agreeing to appoint a committee to act with the major league in devising a plan for base ball reorganization. The 16 club owners of the two warring leagues agreed to meet in the same room in Chicago and attempt to adjust their differences without the aid of , any outsider. It was agreed that only the club owners shall attend this meeting and that both President Johnson of the Amer ican league and President Hcydler of the National and others who have participated in recent sessions shall remain away. Major league leaders pointed out that if lawyers are excluded from the meeting so that no "technical question" could be raised, the threatened war tould be quickly settled. v .. Owners Held Conference. The agreement to make a last- agrcement to make a minute attempt to avert a base ball war was reached at a meeting of the directors of the American league at noon today, and was one pf the re sults of conferences between the owners of the rival major league factions. The peace neWs.was an nounced in dramatic fashion in the middle of an address Carry Hcrr- ... - c vT i uidiiu, uwucr vi inc viiitHiiiau i tionals, wa.t delivering to the minor j league meeting. Air. Herrmann, former chairman i of the National commission, was ' interrupted by a messenger who i handed him a note which he opened and slowly read. Then he made the announcement that the joint con fcrence of the club owners had agreed upVn for Friday. President. Han Johnson of the Inierican league in commenting en the joint .meeting issued the follow ing statement: , . "The American league has been standing for the principle that a reorganization of base .ball should be worked out primarily by a coin- from the National league, the Amer ican league, the National association. , It seems now that such a committee is to be created to' consider and work out a plan for reorganization. There have been certain points of difference between the two major leagues which thus 'far they have not been able to agree upon." Irhas now been arranged that an informal conference ' of major league club owners, shall take, place this con ference to bp limited to club owners and to be purely informal. The pur pose of the conference is to see if the two major leagues may not in some way inon out their ponts of difference. It is an attempt to see if there can be found some satis factory basis "on which they can har monize those , dtnerences. Issued No Formal Statements.: While the National league club owners issued no formal statement most of them . take, the stand that what already has been done in ad vancement of base ball reorganiza tion cannot be changed at the con ference Friday, This was taken to mean that the selection .of Federal Judge Landis of Chicago as chair man of the new hoard of control at a salary of $50,000 a year must be accepted by the American league club owners. v The National leaguers frankly ad mit they do not want a 12-club league unless it is forced upon them t'j organize it and that it would be ? "joke." Mr. Hermann made a .statement that it would be ridiculous to form a league with two clubs m three cities. Before leaving for Chicago tonight he declared he was confident the situation could.be ad justed to the satisfaction of all. After Mr. Hermann's acldres. Ciiarlcss Ebbetts of Brooklyn club, an4 Barney Dreyfuss of the Pitts burgh Nationals, were called upon ;ind the keynote of all three speeches V'5s harmony. Mr. Hermann said the. eleven clubs which he repre sented would be willing to meet wit'i a committee cf. any size from tie minors for the reorganization of base ball. President Sexton of tly; National r.srociation of minor leagues, will appoint the minor league committee tomorrow.

The Purple and White first line of defense has not been 'showing uu well in battles tSSmZ--" T JBM reason the local coach will make the changes. Central came out of the game with Lincoln last week-in fairly good conditiou and with three days of practice, the locals should be in good trim for the Norfolk eleven. , Harry Daubert Will Tryout With Cincinnati . , There will be another Daubert on Pat MorapVReds when they assem ble at their hew training camp in Cis.co; Tex.', next spring.

State College, Pa., . Nov. .10. The Penn State-Nebaska game which was the feature of the annual Penn sylvania day program last Saturday, proved to be one of the greatest attractions ever seen on New Beav er field. The giant westerners with their flaming jerseys made a big hit vvith the spectators because of their clean, hard-playing and it is hoped that the Cornhuskers will " have -. a place on the schedule, next fall. The game itself was one of the most spectacular in . years, largely because of the great number of for ward passes used by both teams. It was Bezdck's forward passing at tack that really defeated the Nebras ka eleven, for Killinger's accurate passing seemed to have them baffled. The visitors were also unable 4 to stop Charlie Way, State's marvelous 140-pound halfback, when he finally entered the game in the fourth pe riod. , . All of the Blue and White play ers came out of the game' in, gooJ condition and they are ready for another hard game with Lehigh this week. Penn State expects to go through the season with a clean slate, and if the Bezdekers can con quer Pitt on Thanksgiving day. they will rank as the leading team hi the east. Their victory over Ne braska, because of the intersection al flavor of the game, will add to tiie prestige of the Hittany Lions, x Captain Day of Nebraska proved to De one of the best centers ever seen here and his playing stood out throughout the game. Hartley and Wright, the two speed merchants in the visiting backfield, also oerforgi ed well, as did Swanson and Schcer er, the ends. 'Red" Griffiths and D.ck Raucb, tte two State guards, were in almost every play; while Huffor'd, playing his first , game at end, looks like a find. The largest crowd ever assembled on New Beav er field witnessed last Saturday's game. Huggins Is Capable Student of Base Ball And Full of Ideas New York, Nov. 10. Colonel Ruo- pcrt's decision that Miller Huggins is to remain as manager of the Yankees is nobody's concern but Ruppert's. There is no doubt that Huggins is a capable student of base ball and is full of constructive ideas, and is a man who should not be allowed to get out of base ball during these days when successful managers arc somewhat scarce. Col onel Huston is known to desire , a change in the management situation. but he will defer to Colonel Rup pert, for they arc not partners who will fight over a matter like that. Ruppcrt thinks that Hueeins is en titled io another chance at least for piloting the Yankees during the most successful season the club has ever had. It is understood that Wilbert Rob inson will again manage the Brook lyn club next season. ; The season which closed Ortnhr 4, was a ramarkable one in manv ways; the aftermath also is re markable in at least one way. It is not recorded that any major league stars other than Dcrrill Pratt have announced their retirement from the game. As a rule such an nouncements come thick and fast just about this time of the year; on every side are players telling the world that the following spring will find them down on the farm or in the shop or city office to stay.

He looked- down upon a game eleven struggling gamely in the beautiful autun-n to convert defeat into victory anB the two of 'em into a big evening with the bootleggers. A pallbearer-like silence hung over the stadium, broken only by, the roaring of 97,000 loose foot ball fans. Bedlam broke loose from its hinges as an exhausted player call ed gamely for the water bucket and just as gamely stuck to his original statement. No sacrifice is too great for dear old Alma Mater.

At the end of the 10th inning he had 76 to his op ponent's 22. At this stage Franklin picked up .26 balls, but missed his break on the new rack and Woods tallied 16, coming right back with 11. Franklin followed up with an other run' of 27,'after which his op ponent held him practically sforeless for five innings. With Woods need ing but three more balls, Franklin in his final inning nicked off 16 buttons; missing on a comparatively easy shot, and leaving the table wide open for his opponent to m&ke the necessary three balls to go out. 1 Kallio Working Hard r For Bout With Daly : , Gus Kallio, Omaha grapplcr, who is matched to meet Owen Daly of Exwell, Neb, in a finish bout at Creighton gymnasium Tuesday eve ning, November 16, is working hard for his coming lussle'.
