MODERATE
American Association and Eastern
League Will Merely Try to
Get a Hearing.
WANT A PEACEFUL SOLUTION
No Talk of War at Buffalo Meeting
Committee to Go Before Ma
tional Commission.

Buffalo, N Y, Nov. 19.-The direc-
tors of the Eastern league and the
American association will attempt to
submit their demands to the national
commission at the WaldorfAstoria no
tel in New York Dec. 7. On the out
come of that meeting, if one is held,
will depend the question of war or
peace in the baseball world.
This was decided at a meeting of
baseball magnates representing the
Eastern league and American associa-
ton held here yesterday. Nearly every
one of the 16 cities in the two leagues
was represented and plans for bring
ing relief to the two class A leagues
We're discussed. The result of the con-
ference was the appointment of a COM
mittee to present the demands of the
two leagues to the national commits
sion. This committee is composed OF
Pat Powers, Ned Hanlon, c. T. Chaplin
and Walter O'Mara of the Eastern
league, and President O'Brien. George
Tebeau, w. H. Watkins and c. S. Hav-
enor of the American association
President O'Brien refused to state
what plan of action had been decid

commission" he said, ito spread broad

at the tail end of some of the
easier games of the season, has had
no experience, but he has played a
hard, consistent game against the reg
ulars, and no fears are felt at putting
him in the lineup. Kittilsen at end is
in the same class with Smith and
Beals, and in defensive lineup may
even have. little margin on both of
them, as he is not to be fooled with
trick plays and is always in front of
the ball. Taking Smith back to half
back and returning Frey, the injured
tackle, to the game will strengthen
the right side of the line which ap-
peared very weak against Moline. On
account of the changes in the lineup
no new plays will be taken up this
week and the time will be spent in
getting the new men accustomed to
their places.
Association Needs Money.
An appeal dealing with the financial
end of the game has been given out
asking the patrons of the game to see
that large crowd turns out for the
next two games in order that the
treasury of the athletic association
does not wind up the season with a
loss. The heavy expense incurred al
the beginning of the year by the pur
chase of complete new uniforms has
made it seem probable that the ex
penses of the year will not be met by
the proceeds of the games, and thai
will seriously affect the winter sports
such as basketball.

QUESTION STATE AID FOX HIGHWAYS
Bulletins Sent Out; Showing Advantages
of The System.

= In view of the general interest in the
vote at the general election on the
amendment to the state constitution per-
hitting state aid in the construction of
good roads, the extension department of
the university of Wisconsin has prepared
a bulletin on the various systems of
state aid. The purpose is to encourage
the public debate Of the proposed amend
ment and of questions growing cut of it
by debating societies and other organi-
cations. The extension division is pre-
pared to furnish material on both sides
Of this question, which is of interest
not only to farmers, but to taxpayers
generally. The use of labor of inmates
of state and county prisons and penal
institutions in road building; the rela-
tive advantage of the systems of state
aid for road building in New Jersey and
Michigan; the question upon whom the
burden of building good roads falls most
directly; and similar problems connect
ed with the subject are outlined in this
bulletin, which is intended for general
distribution. Material for the study of
these questions may be obtained from
the university through local public Ii
brarians, or from principals of high
schools in communities which have not
pubic library. Loans of this mater
ial will also be made to town, village,
CITY or county clerks.

was largely attended by the congrega-
tions of the Methodist and Congregation
al churches. Rev. C. E. Buffers deliy-
cred the sermon, and elequently eulog-
lied the work of Miss Willard. AL
though the spirit of this beautiful char
acter passed away ten years ago, the
fruits of her labors were never so evil
dent as at this time. The anti-saloon
sentiment is surely, strongly and sweep
ingly passing over the country, and the
South is almost solid in the ranks of
state option. The North is falling into
line, and the liquor men are extremely
alarmed over the situation. Mr.. But

ance that they would hear from him
