WAR MAY AGAIN BREAK OUT
BETWEEN MAJOR LEAGUES

Chicago. Jan. 23.-Charles Comiskey,
owner OF the White SOx, is for war.
In a fiery interview made public today
the "Old Roman declares that sooner
than abandon the plan OF playing Sunday
ball in New York the American league
should waste no time in plunging into an

break the peace agreement. but there is
nothing in that agreement TO prevent the

themselves trying to get lease on the

never favor the abandonment of the
plan or the making of any sort of com
