A BASEBALL TRUCE
IS NOW IN FORCE
Leagues Are at Peace Pending
Action on the Coast Con-
ference.
WAR MAY BE STOPPED
Influence of Major Magnates May
Force a Permanent Com
promise.

CHICAGO. Feb. 7.-As a result of the
recent San Francisco meeting between the
representatives of organized baseball and
the Pacific Coast, or OUTLAW League. the
national game is now under a truce which
within the present month is likely to de-
veiop into definite peace agreement in
cIudlng every league in the country.
Inc California conference practically set
TIED the differences between the major
Ieagues and the Pacific coast mag
nates' and the ratification by the American
and National Leagues will be largely
matter of form. The only possible hitch
between the big fellows and the outlaws
is furnished in the cases of a few disputed
players. and these differences can be ad-
1usted easily by arbitration.
with the National Associa ton OF Minor
Leagues there is a greater question at
stake-that Of the draft The fact that
the Calffornians were placed in a class
ABOVE the members of the National Asso-
cation may hurt the pride of some of the
other small leagues The long season made
possible by the climate on the coast and
other unusual conditions however, makes
the California organization an exception
to many rules and this concession was un-
doubtedly forced upon the men who met
their representatives
The only vital difference made by the
classlhcation is that the Calfornians are
given the privilege of drafting from the
class minor leagues. With this drafting
price put up about as high as that of the
major leagues. the cases where it will be
missed are likely to be few, and it may, in
the END, not prove very big stumbling
block.
president Sexton, Of the Western League,
mas called meeting of the board of arbi-
lratlon OF the National Association of Minor
Leagues for Cleveland. Feb. 23 AT this ses-
sion the work of Ned Hanlon, who repre-
sented the minors, will be acted upon.
Pending this meeting the leagues will be
at peace. Both of the big leagues and all
OF the minor organizations have been noti-
fed to break off negotiations now pending
with Pacific coast players, and the Califor-
mans have promised to take the same ac-
ton in regard to any Eastern players with
whom they have been dickering This truce
VIII Keep the various leagues at peace for
nearly month at least, and Ii now seems
probable that when the leagues take final
action this peace will be made permanent
Details OF the meeting at San Francisco
We're rather meager in the press reports
out all OF the negotiations will probably be
made known upon the return of President
johnson and James A. Hart, and they are
poth expected to be back early this week.
After their long trip across the continent
1t is unlikely that the major leaguers will
relish any opposition from the minor league
association, which can block the peace now
so near at hand, and it is highly probable
that the major leagues will use all their in
nuence 10 see that President Powers's as
sociation gracefully accepts the terms of
the peace agreement outlined at the
San Francisco meeting

EXHIBITS MAY NOW Be

Pointed Suggestions from Director
Skiff, of the Worlds Ex-
position.
NO TIME TO BE WASTED

ST. LOUIS. Mo, Feb. 1.-THE following
pointed suggestions are put in the shape
of a letter by Mr.. F. j. V Skiff, director
of the division of exhibits, to the exhibitors
of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition:
THE exhibit palaces of the Louisiana P,,r-
chase Exposition all practically
completed. Exhibitors can now obtain pos
session of their spaces. This condition OBJ
tains At much earlier period than in any
previous great exposition Should there be
any incompleteness on May l, when the ex-
position is opened, il Will be due TO the delay
Of exhibitors. No exhibitor ever regretted
having installed his exhibit too soon. The
man who is ready is always envied by those
who are waiting for their exhibits to ar
rive
AT the present time the railway COM
panies are able TO handle shipments with
reasona BILE promptness. As the date for
opening approaches. experience shows that
there will be congestion at freight termi-
mails. This congestion is not only very an
noying. but X is very expensive to the ex-
hiOitors. To have a representative, or
force of men at the fair awaiting day after
day or week after week for exhibits TO
arrive costs a great deal Of money. Every
consideration, therefore. the interest of the
economy of expenditures on the part OF the
exhibitor favor early shipment OF exhibits

soon possible. II is evident that the un-
finished condition at the opening, If IL oc-

team, regarding a game between Columbia

late in November, probably Thanksgiving
day. No definite arrangements were made
Mr.. Prall said IL will be impossible to

range the schedule that Columbia will have
the week before Thanksgiving free in all

POLO IN CINCINNATI.
The New Winter Sport VIII Be
Inaugurated in the Queen CITY.

CINCINNATI, Feb. For some reason,
or other Cincinnati did not take kindly to
indoor baseball as a winter sport. The
field" at the ArmOry was the greatest any
team ever played on, but old Redland re-
fused to enthuse beyond sending the same
old squad of reuglars to every game. There
is no good reason why roller polo should
not become popular in Cincinnati. and the
National Polo League in which the Queen
City will have a team next fall, will not
be run on a Shoestrng. Properly backed
the sport which has enthused so many
HoOsier towns, will have a run here in the
winter of 1905 Polo fans are the most rabid
in the sporting kingdom, and Cincinnati
Will be a new breeding ground for them.

attack upon r.. +.
Kelso. = An Anadarko paper, at
a loss for an accusation to bring
against him, was compelled to
resort to a glaring falsehood, but
in its zeal to injure him has
over-reached itself and the only
result has been to win votes for
Kelso. We refer to the article
which stated that he drove his
cattle across the line into Wash
ita county and paid taxes on
them there. IL. b. Hewlett, a
neighbor of Mr.. Kelso, and
hitherto staunch republican,
was 50 indignant about this false
statement that he came to this
office today to denounce the un-
worthy principles which prompt
such cowardly attacks. He
stated that he knew this state
ment in regard to Mr.. Kelso to be
absolutely false, and, though a
republican, he pefused to sanc-
tion suchtbase despicable meth
ols to influence to voters. The
cattle above referred to were on
school land in Washita county,
leased by Mr.. Kelso, had been
raised there, and had never been
across the county line, which is
also the quarantine line. This
subterfuge on the part Of the re-
publican papers merely empha-
sizes our statement that Mr.. Kel-
50 is in every way worthy of
election to the Office of Record
er, and that his record as a
Caddo countylcitizen is unblem-
ished.
