National Commission Has
TiCkliSh Problems to Settle.

Joe Cantillon if he purposes trouble Joe
was a big factor in establishing the
American League, and now that he is at
daggers' points with Ban Johnson he will
probably be no less jealous in causing all
the trouble he can for the man who turn
ed him down. AS owner of the Mnneap-
oils club Cantillons opinion would go far
toward influencing the American Associa-
ton in peace or war
The fact that the American Association
and Eastern League nullified many priv
ileges granted them last spring by the
rest of organized baseball by failing to
compromise on the working agreement,
| caused surprise at the time. Higher
classification, revision in draft concern
| ing players and territory, privilege of
claim on discarded major league mate
rial, were among the boons sacrificed af-
ter they had been secured by a threat
ened break of the peace pact.
That they We're cast aside was believed
| in some quarters to be a strategy to re-
open the question this winter. A years
further preparation could not but ben
eft the big minors if they contemplated
| trouble. So far as the American Associa-
! ton was concerned a year ago, disap-
| pointment was expressed that the major
leagues and National Commission acceded
| to what was believed just demands. A
| rehearSing of the old bother would show
| the big minors hunting trouble 1t is
questionable if such concessions as were
| srurned will be granted so readily again
Peace or war, the American Association
has something under cover which is liable
| to drop before spring.
Many big league magnates favor a new
National Commission-one made up of
I parties not so directly interested in the
major leagues. The change would no
doubt be welcome to the present trium-
virate whose job is a thankless one. 1t
! is questionable if any other organization
| could better handle the affairs of state,
however. Naturally, the league presidents
are in close touch with all matters per
| tanning. to their circuits and so are we'll
qualified for the office. Whether the Ma
tional Commission consisted of seven or
one would make little difference to the
grumbling and dissatisfaction toward the
findings of the supreme court of baseball.

IN THE WORLD OF SPO RT
C0ffr0th and Gleason Both
Hot to Secure the Big Fight.

asked about the matter Tuesday Ber-
ger declared that all bids would be
treated without prejudice and that the
highest bidder would get the fight.
CotfrothS arena at Colma, where 40
rounds or more can be pulled oft, can
not afford room for more than 150OO
spectators, but if it comes to Il pinch
it is believed that Coffroth will enlarge
his alnpi,heatre to enable him to outbd
Gleason.
1t is u foregone conclusion that other
promoters in various places will make
large offers for the battle. Oklahoma,
the stotes of Washington, Texas and
Nevada will be heard from in this re-
spect, but that will be about all. No
body believes that the fight can be
conducted without interference at any
of these places. Jeffres ana Johnson
know that California can make good
and that either COlma or Ocean View
will guarantee more sure money than
can b" secured elsewhere. SO it is ac-
cepted us Il certainty that Coifroth and
Gleason will have to fight it out to a
finish. If, as it has been frequently
stated, Coffroth has johnson sewed up
and JrffrieS insists upon accepting
in the negotiations which may result
in calling the fight off. If either pugil-
list should desire to crawl out of the
match therefore the way would be
well paved for him. But if Johnson is
free to accept the best inducements
there can be no trouble.

BOWDO|N'S new LINEUP
IS NOT YET CERTAIN,

Brunswick. Me, Nov. 3.-(SpeciaD.-
There has been a general shakeup in the
Bowdoin football eleven at practice this
week. Practice is daily held behind
closed gates and the new plays are not
given out. Today on account of rain only
a very short out-of-door practice was
held, with some secret practice indoors.
AT the last lineup of the team Crosby,
who has been playing right tackle all the
season, was shifted to E. b. Smiths po-
sition at left end; King was moved from
center to Crosby's position and Boynton
was put in at center, being taken from
that position on the second team. Wilson
was playing quarter as in last Saturdays
game but there is some doubt and con-
when the team lines up against Bates
next Saturday. All three men who have
played the position this year-Wilson,
Sullivan and Wiggin-will probably be
given strenuous tryouts. and Just which
one Will be chosen finally is hard to de-
eide Wiggn was in at left half and
Ballard was put in in Farnhams place.
Frank Smith and Badly Smith We're not
in the lineup, although they were not Sc
riously injured in tie game with Colby.
Both have had had knees since the first
of the season and every opportunity to
save them is taken.

New York, Nov 3.-Jeffries has de-
| cid to remain in this city until Dec. l,
| when bids for the fight with Johnson
| will be opened and the battle ground
| decided upon. Johnson says he will also
remain East until this important ques-
| ton has been settled. Two rival pro-
moters James Coffroth and Jack Glea-
son. who can deliver the goods, Will
have the inside track when it comes to
outbidding individuals outside of Cal
ifornia, but from all accounts they Will
indulge in a bitter struggle to land the
match. Gleason arrived here last night.
He refused to state the amount of the
purse he intended to hang up or now
much of a percentage of the gate re-
ceipts he would allOt to the pugillsts
as a counter proposition. But he freely
admitted that Coffroth would have to
fly very high to beat him.
Gleason, who is a close friend of sam
Berger, Jeff's manager, has secured a
license to conduct glove fights in Al
media county, 13-minutes ride from
San Francisco. He mas secured an OPP
ton on property just beyond the city
limits and says if he gets the match he
will build the biggest arena in the
world. to be operated by the Ovean

according to Gleason there will be no
interference with the bout of forty
five rounds or more" which has been
stipulated in the articles of agreement
signed by Jeffries and Johnson. Glea-
son states that the proposed arena VIII
have room for 10000 spectators, which
means that it will be larger than
Forbes field in Pittsburg and the sta
dunn at Harvard University He is
confident that the fight will draw a
crowi that will tax the new arena to
its fullest capacity and that the gate
money will exceed all previous figures.
Because of those facts Gleason evil
IDENTIFY believes that when the time
comes to put in a bid for the mill he
will have Coffroth beaten. That there
is ground for worry on the part OF
CCffroth is indicated by the latter's
statement that he fears collision be-

meet pronounced the trouble a slight con-
gStion of the kidneys and a result ply
sicians have forbidden him to enter into

and last winter was alternate on the
Freshman relay team that ran against

omore track team. taking second place
in the half mile. Besides this Cressey has
been running With the cross country
squad and was showing up well i'll dis
