ing the sacrifices that different clubs
were called on to make in order to
reach an agreement with the American
league on terms of peace and he made

most touching manner. While he said

the arguments of President EbbittS, he
wanted to add that at 1 o'clock this
morning they were fully convinced of
the justice and sincerity of Hermann S
explanation and heartily voted for rat

feast took place.

ought also to be satisfied.
