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.
To Change Lineup of
f Central Before Game
Coach Harold-Mulligan of Cen
tral High school expects to make
a big shift in his team's lineup be
fore the game Saturday at Rourke
park with Norfolk. 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. Harry
Daubert is the name of the new
comer. Harry, like his famous
.namesake, is an infieldcr. He was
purchased by the Reds from the New
Orleans flub of the Southern league
several days ago. Last season in
New Orleans and in the other cities
of the Southern league Daubert
showed promise of developing into
x major league star. Pat Moran will
give him an opportunity to become
as famous as Jake.

Penn State Followers Hope
Bezdekers and Cornhuskers
Meet Next Season.'
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. This
year all are silent sav. a nnf.j
the Yankees' second baseman, who
is to mi a coaching position at the
University of Michigan.

President of Minors' Associa

Have Them Take Sides.
Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 10. Al
though courted by representatives of
both the "new National league" and
the five "loyaj" American league
clubs, the National Association of
Minor Leagues should not take sides
in the major league base ball war,
M. H. Sexton, president of the mi
nors, said today. He announced that
August Herrmann of Cincinnati, rep
resenting the "new Nationals," would
address the association today in fa
vor of the Lasker plan of civilian
control of base ball. President B.
B. Johnson of the American league
opposed the plan in an address yes
terday. "President Johnson very frankly
asked us not to show any favor" to
either side," said Mr. Sexton. 'T
think it would be the only fair thing
to do."
Mr. Johnson" asked the minors to
appoint a committee of three to meet
with representatives of the majors
to A final effort to avert war. He op
posed the Lasker plan on the ground
that it would take control out of the
hands ot experienced base "ball men.
He characterized A. D. Lasker of
Chicago, head of an advertising
agency and a director in the Chi
cago National league club, who pro
posed the "Lasker plan" for a board
of control of three men not finan
