The meetings Of the National and
American Leagues in New York this

some baseball talk and following the
sessions all kinds Of rumors and re-
ports concerning deals, trades and
sales may be looked for by the in
terested fans. All will tend to arouse
enthusiasm In the game around Tri-

Johnstown is not likely to drop out.
even though the Johnstown Baseball
Association has notified President

stirred up the lovers of the sport and
they have begun various movements
to create a fund TO put the game on a
solid foundation In the Flood City. BY
the time the annual meeting is held in

plans shaped up TO continue in the Tri-

A dispatch from Reading says:
''The Tri-State baseball tangle which

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-When the
magnates of the National League re-
sumed their meeting this afternoon at
the Hotel Breslin, it was the general
understanding that the schedule COM
mittee would be ordered to draw up
a program of 154 games for the sea-
son OF 1911.
At yesterdays meeting, in which
President Thomas Lynch was unani-
mously reelected for one year, the
matter of the schedule was discussed,
but no definite action was taken. The
magnates, however, had about agreed
that 154-game schedule, conflicting
as little as possible with that of the
American League, would be best
The schedule committee will, it is
said. be requested to confer with Pres
ident Ban Johnson, of the American
League. in an effort to see that there
are no conflicting games on Sundays
in the West
Il was also expected that some ac-
tlon would be taken this afternoon on
President Lynch's request that no
more prizes be approved for the best
batsman. This request arose over the
offer Of an automobile and the mix-up
that arose between Lajoie and Cobb
Of the American League. Lynch is bit
terly opposed to allowing players to
entsr such contests and has asked the
National League to back him up in
this opposition.

tion on the plea of the Western and

BASE BALL TALK
Many Laughable Incidents
Of Past Memorable Strug-
giles By Some Old Boys

Whenever, between two seasons,f a
half dozen ball players foregather the
talk is almost sure to be about incl
dents far removed from the technical
side Of the game, but.incidents withal
that are nightly interesting all by
themselves. Several OF these stories
were told I'm the Waldorf-Astoria in
New York around a table at which a
number OF ball players and baseball
writer's were sitting waiting for the
club owners, who we're in session up
stairs, to adjourn. Some of the stories
told are worth a place in baseball his
tories.
Ono day when the White Sox and
Maps were having a desperate strug-
gle at South Side Park. in Chicago, the
attention of the players was directed
TO man who, accompanied by several
women, occupied one Of the front box
es and who wildly cheered every good
play The man was dressed I'm fault
less fashion, and when he would get up
swing his tall silk hat over his head
and shout his approval Of play
everybody in the stands and on the
diamond was forced to take notice.
In the ninth inning when the score
was TO In favor of the White Sox
the Maps filled the bases with nobody
out. Up to this time Lajcie had made
three Of the Maps four hits. AS Larry
took his place at the bat, with fel-
low player ON every base, the man in
the box arose, took off his glossy hat
and faced the 10000 people sitting be-
hind him.
Ladies and gentlemen" he shouted
Permit me to inform you that this
ball game is now over and that Cleve.
land wins by the score Of to A."
AS a sort of an echo to this dec
laration came the crash of Larry's bal
against the ball, and when Fielder
Jones had retrieved the sphere out by
centre field fence the score was i'm.
deed as the fan had said--5 to IN
favor Of Cleveland.

We Are Wholly Unprepared

AMMUNITION INSUFFICIENT
FOR ONE ENGAGEMENT
Chief of Army Staff Insists This
Country Could Not Meet Hostile
Moves OF Any First Glass Nation
Coast Well Protected but Artillery
ficient-Favors Hobson Bill.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 27.-Before
the house committee on military af-
fairs Major General Wood, chief Of
staff declared the United States il
unprepared to meet the hostile moves
of first class nations. His testimony
was made public today.
Ammunition at the army's disposal,
he testified, is not sufficient to last
through a single engagement.
He explained his plan of reorgani-
zing the militia so more mobile force
will be ready for the field in an en-
ergency.
He said to the committee: There
is no use talking about our patriotism
and fighting qualities, we have them.
But brave men unorganized are in
effective. In the Spanish was we lost
about 200 volunteers in battle, but
buried our thousand who died of dis
ease"
He said the field artillery is prac-
ally useless although he believed the
seacoast is well fortified,
Wood continued: IF we were call
ed to war tomorrow, we would be
practically without field artillery or
ammunition. AS far as the seasoast
goes, 1 feel we are we'll fortified. I
don't believe foreign fleets would at
tempt to sail into any port in the
face of our seacoast Notifications un-
! less the object was one of tremen-
dous importance"
Wood urged the adoption of a bill
prepared by Congressman Hobson pro-
viding for a council of defense"
He said: "At present in a matter
of studying defenses we are absolute
in the air. 1 believe if we had a
council to consider such matters with
certain powers to. act we could strip
off unnecessary things and come down
to a matter of men, guns, powder and
shot
