FOR 2O-yEAR TERM
Big Smokes Salary Is Also
Boosted Up to $4,000
Annually.

CHICAGO. February 1I.-Byron Ban
croft johnson was reelected president.
secretary and treasurer of the American
League. at a salary said to be $4,000 a
year. AT the closing session of the annual
schedule meeting yesterday.
The agreement under which the league
has existed since November, 1900. was
renewed for q period of twenty years.
In the new agreement is a clause for
bidding any club owner or holder of
stock in any club 10 hold shares In any
other club in the league except as an
emergency measure All the other
articles of the old agreement We're re-
tanned in the new one
Uniform tickets with rain-check cou-
pons. practically the same as now i'm use
in the National League. were adopted.
y schedule of La games, opening on
April IA and closing on October 9, was
unanimously adopted. This schedule was
the only one submitted to the meeting
and was chosen without change. 1t was
announced that the dates selected would
be retained whether the National League
plays Ia or 16S games.
Few Conflicting Dates
If the National League selects the
shorter season there will be only ten
conflicting dates between the two leagues.
Eight of these will be in Chicago and
the others in st. Louis
While no official announcement was
made that Mr.. Johnson'S salary had
been increased from $4,000 to $4,000. it
was said on good authority that such
was the case. Mr.. Johnson refused to
talk of the reported salary increase but
smilingly said that it was a personal
matter. He also returned the same an
swer TO the question as TO how old he
would be when his term of office expires
This is the longest tenure of office to
which any base ball president was ever
elected. 1t was made coexistent with the
iength OF the new agreement. 1t is
said that Charles \. Comiskey of Chicago
and Benjamin S. Shibe of Philadelphia
were the men behind this signal tribute
To Mr.. Johnson as a league leader.
Inc adoption Of a twenty-year agree
ment was said to be in the nature of a
compromise. Some of the club owners
favored the renewal for ten years while
others spoke for perpetual agreement,
such as now exists i'm the National
League. This was the main subject of
debate In Tuesdays meeting, and the
voting on it was postponed until yester-
day.

MECHANICS COMING BACK FAST NOW AND
 LOOK GOOD AGAIN

The Mechanics are going great just now, bidding fair before the end of the week to step into that exalted po- sition from which they were busted only a few weeks ago. Saturday they turned in their third victory in succession, Hartford feeling the sting, S-3. The Mechanics had the double satisfaction of driving Ivor Swanson from the mound. The big Norseman has been a thorn in our sides on many an occasion. Ivor was stingy with the hits, but Oh wasn't he the wild man. It all came in the seventh, up to which period the score stood at l.l, , lacks Jackson grabbed d,,, Ter went out by the swanson-Vann route, Jackson moved up to third. Hall then walked. The double steal was then successfully torn off, Jack son scoring. This, unnerved Swan son, for Kocher followed with a two bagger which scored Jimmy Hall; Lundgren, late of the Chicago Ma tionals. Freddie Gibbs plastered a hit into short left. Ditto for Skipper Eley. Stowe hit to Goede who threw spilled the pill, filling the sacks Lundgren could not locate the plate, walking Crooks, forcing Eley home. Ladd plastered a single into center, Gibbs and Stowe scoring. When Jackson up for the second time in the innning, hit on the bound to Soffel, Crooks scored the seventh run of the inning.
 Freddie Gibbs pitched a nice little game. He let up in the eighth, al- lowed triples to Soffel and Hart and singles to Rehg and Metzger.
 Tn the first inning Hart singled to left. McKenna drove a hot liner at Gibbs which the latter just barely touched, the pill glancing off towards Stowe. Bobby picked up the pill, threw to Hall, forcing Hart, Hall winged to Crooks, dropping McKenna.

IMMENSE CROWD TO SEE KAUFMAN AND LANGFORD

Philadelphia, Aug. 8.-It is expect ed that record breaking crowd will witness Wednesday nights six round battle between Al Kaufman and Sam Langford in Ball Park. Preparations are being made to handle between 2c,OOO and 30,00O people, more than the total attendance at the Johnson Jeffries fight at Reno. The prelimin- aries will start at 8:30 and the big fight will be started by 9:30 o'clock
 Billy Delaney, who has taken Kauf- man in tow, will be his chief second, The presence of this second in his corner ought to give Kaufman incen- tive to fight hard. There is a per- sonal feud between the two fighters that will be evident from the start

I5 YEAR OLD GIRL
 IS SOME SWIMMER
(SpeciaI from United Press. !

(9pccldl IIOul Glllleu HTeSS. )
 Boston. Aug. S.-Having succeeded where Annette Kellermann and scores of other noted swimmers had failed IS year old Rose Hitnofo, today is hailed here as the only person to reach Boston Light through the shift ing currents of Boston Harbor. The girl did the F miles in six hours and 50 minutes. Five men in two boats accompanied her. The only other person who ever claimed to have reached Boston Light was Alois An derle of New York, who made the swim last summer. His claim is dis puted, however, it being said that he touched Nix's Mate Bar, a shall low, on the way.

been good for thrse bases according to the ground rules.
 Tuckey and Bannister of the FinDs- gans are being overworked. This was shown in the game yesterday against Holyoke. the latter sluggers making IT hits. Baker turned in a perfect record with i've hits out of five times up.
 McCann now has six pitchers on his staff, every one of the dependabIe Waller, clunn, cronin, Gibbs snyder and Upham. There is not a staff in the league which can come any where near touching it. It is with these boys that McCann will win the pennant.
 Manager McCann says that he will stand pat on his team for the balance of the season, but it is known that if he could secure a third baseman he would feel much more secure, Mill CT is not putting up the game that he should, though in Saturdays con- test he showed some of that last years ability in sending out those long drives.
 Mattapoisett, Mass, Aug. s-Base- ball fans here today are jubilant over the possibility that when they reach
 
 base hits may be among the attrac- tions there. At least that's the idea of Rev. Julian Tuthill of the Congre- gational church here who in a ser- mon declared there was no reason apparent why the great national game of America should not be found some where in the world to come. He said in part: s<l
 Heaven is but an evolution of this world. A Christian may love a ball game and loving it remain Christian, Why then, is 1t not safe to prophecy that even the game of baseball will have it's place in some spiritual form in Heaven?"
 Buffalo, Aug. S.-Manager Billy Smith of the Buffalo Eastern League team, announced today that Catcher Ava Williams had been sold to the Boston Red Sox for a cash consider attion and in exchange for Pitcher Foley. Williams vii finish the sea- son with Buffalo. Foley will repov here at once.

While there have been no very large

many mortgages recorded. ranging

Bankers take a hopeful view of the
real estate market. They show dis
position to loan for building purposes

chance of getting tenants for build
ings; but they discourage clients from
taking chances in doubtful districts.
Interest payments have been re-
markably good of late, better in fact
than at any time in the last four years.
