GOSSIP OF SPORTING WORLD

B. Bancroft Johnson, president Of the
American league, has yanked away
the perch placed out for the dove of
peace assigned to the task of ending
the war of the big baseball leagues
and the end is apparently as far away
as ever before.
This postponement of the peace con-
ference coming at the last moment
props up the belief that the American
league is not laundering after peace
with mad, burning banker. Johnson
q Co. may really desire to have it all
ended, but up to date the American
hrm has not strained itself in an eff
fort to clear the way for a meeting of
the warning factions.
Johnson and his followers accepted
the Nationals invitation to attempt an
arrangement of the differences, but
this is about as far as the American
went. Even before the Johnson league
met to postpone it's annual meeting
the American club owners began tell
ing what would have to be before any
peace pact could be signed.
And now Johnson winds it up with
a demand that promises to put an end
to all attempts to bring about a peace
full settlement. The demand has al
ready compelled the postponement of
the peace conference.
Johnson has refused to allow his
committee to meet with the National
league committee until the National
committee is given full power to dis
pose of all questions that might arise
at the peace meeting.
The National league committee was
sent forth without any such power.
CHAIRMAN Hermann and his followers
planned to go to the peace conference.
secure the best terms possible and
then report the result back to the
league.

might have invested it's committee
with the power vested in the American
committee by Johnson & Co., but not
one word was said until this eleventh
hour notice of Johnson's was served on
Chairman Hermann. Hermann has
tried in the short time allowed him
TO secure the consent of the National
members to a committee with full
power, but he has been unable to OBJ
tain this consent.
johnson would appear more sincere
in this attempt to arbitrate if he had
either served notice of what was to
be required of the committees in good
time, or had allowed committees to
meet without any eleventh hour stip-
ulations.
Bowling Going Back.
Having pushed bowling up into the
front rank of winter sports the local
enthusiasts have apparently tired of
the. excitement, and through sheer
neglect are allowing the sport to drop
back into the ruck
Bowling, unless conditions are
changed in a hurry is going back into
the has-been list, and going there be-
cause the bowlers of St. Paul, with a
feW-a very feW-exceptions, are not
real sportSmen.
1t is hard, but it is the truth. Teams
and individual players have demon
strated it time and time again since
the opening of the winter season. The
maJor-portion of the bowling fraternity
is doing this thing at the present mo-
ment.
A movement to send a bowling team
TO represent st. Paul at the bowling
congress to be held in INDIANAPOLIS
was started several weeks ago with a
loud hUrrah, and when the hurrah died
out there was nothing doing.

FRo TMRo, Mn, Feb. II, l%r::
To the MINING J"UENNL.
In this weeks issue of the paper
that is truly great" we learn that our
new post master, Mr. Hanna, is cater
ing to the wishes of the patrons of town
and vicinity and soliciting their CO.
operation in the way of improving the
system and increasing tn. accomoda-
lions.
For one. am happy to See this, partly
because | have one suggestion to offer,
namely-it strikes me that at present
the business peOple-thoSe who rent and
pay for l0ck-boXes have but little advan
tage over those served from the general
delivery and who pay nothing extra.
Who can tell when "all is in for lock :"
I'll warrant the question-"all in for
lock lis asked 30 times. Often, often
| often the lOck-boX patron has to wait I'M
I'll the general delivery window is open
before he can be sure all the mail is in
| the lock boxes. Even the editor of the
paper that is exclusively great has to
wait and kill time
Under this system the money paid for
| lock-boXeS is Just SO much contributed
Tor conveniences which save time aud
trouble only for the post master and al
most equal privileges for only those who
| pay nothing extra.
In my humble Judgment, an of the
lock-boX mail should be in the boxes and
| announcement made brGDrr diStr;bnfioD
| Of Hc gcncrm dIir"rg moH 10 tie nIpho-
| bet bOrrs bcgjnS. By the time the gen
eral delivery is ready all the lock box
people will then he ont of the way.
Now, think the present two.fold i'll
convenience can be easily remedied by Mr.
Hanna getting Il roller-blind and using
1t for indicating when the lock-box mail
is III. This will give welcome ''tip" to
the lOck-boX patrons and save himself
the annoyance of having to answer the
question-''all in for lock?
now propose that if the postmaster
will adopt this hint We, the lock box
patrons, will contribute the necessary
cash to buy the blind and put it into
operation.
